Thanks, increasingly i am thinking Gary Witheford due to his location and partly costs.

Thanks, Tony is very local to us, he's out every Saturday and he actually taught me at pony club. That is definitely a possibility! Thank you.

Richard Maxwell, Gary Witheford, Michael Peace,Tim Piper? Has anyone used any of the above? How successful was it? What was the problem with the horse? How long did the results last? How much did it cost? I have a problem with a large, 9 year old, ISH, gelding hunter. He is fantastic...

Sorry for all my badly written posts...

The lady on the yard generally hacks out all the horses alone. There are not enough people permanently around to ensure that he can hack out in a group. Plus, those who have hacked out with him are wary being on a horse next to him as he is a lot bigger than they are. She can lead him out but...

Thanks, if you have contact details for Tim Piper that would be great. How do you know of him? Have you used him, or do you know of anyone who has used him? I appreciate that every horse is different but how often are horses untrainable? Generally, will the training last, or will i be roped...

I guess the only other thing is that he's still pretty young so there's not much history of anything...

Thank you for your replies. It's seriously useful to get a better idea on these things as fortunately none of our horses have had abscess' and i just don't know anything about them. I have actually tried him out hunting once already and he went very well all day. Although, someone who had...

One of the horses i am looking to buy currently has a hoof abscess. As far as i can see, in general terms, these are caused by infections brought on by dirt getting through cracks in the hoof, cuts, flaring etc. Most seem avoidable with a little luck and a good farrier... However, does any...
