Well I found it strange because it said non heating, but a friend said some horses react differently to the oil. I might have to try that winergy feed, although I have just changed mine over to D&H build up and dont want to change again just yet.

I've been told soya oil can be like rocket fuel for some horses. Particularly tough for me to find a feed to keep weight on my boy, because most, if not all, feeds for weight gain contain it. The few feeds I have tried that have turned him doolally, have all contained soya oil.

My horse windsucks when in his stable. I have tried yeasac and thought it was working but he has started making those awful noises again. He only does it when eating hay and doesnt need anything to lean on, he often just arches his neck, but does sometimes lean over his door and pull. He...

My boy windsucks. He only does it when eating hay though. If he's in stable he leans over the door and kinda pulls it towards him making strange noises. He also does it without the aid of something to lean against. He arches his neck and makes the horrid noise!! I dont really see it as a...

Yes sparklet he has been off work for a little while for one thing and another. When I say he walks forward again I mean he used to, but since he's met this horse he no longer walks forwards on request if I am taking him away from his friend. Instead he backs up, plants, spins back round to...

He's in with 2 others though as well as this horse. Perhaps I need to give him more time. He used to be in a largish herd, then was just him and a girlie for about 3 or 4 months. Then I had him on his own for a week in quarantine, so perhaps that is why he has become more clingy.

He doesnt normally plant!! He is an absolute gem most of the time and if he does get a bit "do I have to" a tug on his lead rope (if I'm leading him) or a kick when I'm riding him will do the trick. This is so unlike him, he has for some reason, taken a shine to this other horse!

Should have said, smacking does not work, in fact it makes him worse.

Yep mine been losing his for a few weeks now. I dont mind, I prefer his winter coat anyway!

I have recently moved to a new yard. My horse has paired up with another gelding, and the two of them have become quite inseparable. It's kinda cute, but also annoying because turning him out when his mate is in stable is proving to be very difficult. Just walking past his stable stops him...
