D&H feeds also contain probiotics, vits and mins in most of there standard feeds including nuts so you don't have to by seperate supplements!

Sugar beet is great for weight gain, you can even get Quickbeet which only has to soak for 10 mins instead of 24hrs. It's from Dodson and horrell horse feeds, you can even ring them for some free feed advice. If you want to go the whole hog you can order a pack from them for £10 for a full feed...

It must be something in the grass, my 17hh wb has been a handful and a yob since Thursday, he is usually such a lazy moo!LOL

I have tryed to travel him with my ex-advanced eventer who just stands and watches. (as it's far too much like effot to get involved) He is his field companion but this made no odds to him. It was the day we thought he had broken his leg. I think my other horse thought he was going to "have a...

Hill work, that is the best thing IMO. Walking on roads as well if poss will help. You don't have to keep going up and down. Pick a dressage test or some shapes, you could even just practice transitions. You will also get the added benerfit of throughness and contained power and energy as a...

Look at Dodson and Horrell suplerments. They are by far the best on the market!IMO! They have one to cool off mares behavour ( Stroppy Mare )and it really does work. You don't have to mix anything in with it to make it palatable, you just put the required amount in the feed, a mix and away you...

Thank you irishdraftlover i think it sounds llike he might be a padded cell boy after all. I have felt the feelings you have had with your young man! I can't take any more risks with him like you said as not only is he valuable, but i love him and i want him to be safe! millimoo he has always...

[ QUOTE ] Oh and forgot to add ,he may be better if you pillar tie him. [/ QUOTE ] Yes we have tried that but to no avail. I will try him with a mirror, thats a good idea! as we can't travel him with anybody due to his past. Thank you very much! x

My horse won't travel-Help! My Boy is 17hh big Dressage horse and a handful! He will load very easily, walks in straight away with out a care in the world and will stand forever on the lorry with the partitions open but.....As soon as he is shut in and drive off all hell brakes loose! Just so...

If in doubt get the vet!!! My horse had an abcess on his chest 2 months ago, i Just hot toweld it over an hr or so to get the yuck out and left it open to the air to dry out. I gave him a general oral antibiotic for three days too. (he was feeling under the weather with it) Every day i checked...

My 17hh horse used to do the same, i have found that a magnetic head piece that runs over his pole has resolved this behavour for me. (don't ask me why?) but a few times out with it on and he is a changed animal, it has also calmed him down at comps too. The great thing is that he has lost none...

Magnets are not just for pain , my 17hh Dressage horse used to be so flighty, esp. around the mounting blocks/getting on in general due to a very bad experance 2 years ago(before i owned him). I got a magnetic head piece and it has vanished with only 5 days of work!!! He is also more supple...
