On the other side of the coin, my vet would be likely to agree with you ie it was EMS all along! I kept querying Cushing's and so far any possible Cushings type symptoms seem to have reduced/disappeared now that insulin is under control. ETA Cushings test was negative

It's definitely hard work, EMS. If weight is under control, plus steglatro, but no exercise is possible (or there is plenty of exercise), and the condition is still not manageable, I would feel considering PTS is a very reasonable proposition. Especially if your finances are under such pressure...

Eeks - or not, depending on cost. Will that affect canagliflozin (invokana), too? Expect it may do. I was using the 100 ml pots of paste, but it's so awful in use (lid difficult to get off, then messy trying to syringe it out), that I've switched to tablets. Canafligozin seems to be...

Welcome! I would start a separate thread in the Tack room section, to ask about any fun rides in your area - more people will see it : )

From the description I clearly read it as this, but that OP was giving a more visual description of the setup.

It wasn’t a couple of pounds more expensive that the pharmacy quoted: can’t remember figure but they were approx £20-30ish more expensive than the vet price. I wás surprised as I’d expected them to be more in line with the online (hyperdrug) price. I wonder if they made an error, after reading...

Hyperdrug have them at £1.86 per tablet (5 or 15mg). When I asked my local pharmacy they were more expensive!

She’s beautiful, thank you for taking the effort to work out how to post photos :D

Our Volvo XC60 does this. It’s a comfy car to drive too, but not that efficient on fuel though so less useful for a commute - but not many towing vehicles will be. There are quite a few threads about that particular conundrum. ETA We bought it second hand, within your age and budget range.

They look good but the holes are quite large. Nibbleze can also be used as ground nets (if the horse is unshod) and can come with much smaller holes.

Just since you are looking at them: it’s spelt Friesian (not fresian or freisian). Handy to know! ETA I’ve wondered before why the selling sites don’t have a search function/filter option for colour ; )

I also have the Moorland rider wash bag, medium size I think, and shake hair out of that at the end. Also good for dog blankets. You can buy it from various places - think I got mine from viovet.

Most of our local farmers dislike the hunt. They also say you used to see mainly locals and farmers out with the hunt, but then it became businessmen from outside, paying lots of money. Field might have been 100-120 in the past: now it’s usually under 20. Focus seems to be more on pheasant &...

Of course, but in practice most landowners and farmers do not like pedestrians or horse riders crossing their land. If no track is left across a crop field (or a verge around it as alternative route), or the path is overgrown, or blocked, or a gate so broken it is impossible to open, it comes...

Some of the bridleways around me are open and accessible mainly because the landowner is a fan of hunting and supports the local hunt. So e.g. some gates are left open during winter until livestock go back in the fields, say. There are fewer gates, and you will not find electric fencing across...
