Hi everyone, I'm looking for a livery yard in Oldham. I'm open to any livery level, but would like somewhere with an arena as I'm schooling my boy at the moment. He's 16.2 so he needs a reasonably sized stable. Other than that, very flexible. But I want somewhere close, as right now he's very...

I think this thread has been quiet for a while so advice may not still be needed - but my first horse was a 14 year old ex barrel racer QH. She was bomb proof, had enough of an attitude that she was still fun and I learned with her, but she wasn't going to send me flying or hurt me because of...

Hi Paddy, thanks for that! I'll join the groups. I was wondering if you have found this to be better than using oils in the diet? I see on most EPSM diets that people use oils extensively.

Thanks :) Have you met him before? Or just seen the ad?

It always makes me do a double take when vet costs here are so low! That in Canada would have been way way more. I'll just have to get the vet to come check him out, then we can figure out what to do long term for his diet/exercise. Luckily he doesn't appear to be deteriorating from all accounts...

Hi Tiddly, that's him! I did and am sadly just waiting a couple more days (want him now haha) until I can get him shipped to Manchester. He's absolutely lovely and I cannot wait to begin work with him.

That's amazing, thank you! I'll give Speedibeet a try with him when I get him this week :) Is there a particularly good source/brand/etc for the vitamin E and Selenium in the UK? I know only the American and Canadian brands and these seem more expensive here than I'm used to so want to make...

I have two horses, one is a QH who has shivers and is 32 years old and in retirement, has been on a special diet for many many years but she is in Canada, where I'm originally from living her days out in my parents farm. The horse I am questioning what to do with is a new horse, a 3 yo Dutch...

The current owner who I am taking him from has declared it as shivers, but I don't know if he's been tested for EPSM, and there is strong correlation between the two from my reading. Since I can't be sure, and shivers responds to the diet for EPSM I had to put both because I just don't know. I...

Hi everyone, I'm an experienced horse owner, so I know what I'm getting into with this, before anyone questions that. I was introduced to a lovely lady that has a Dutch Warmblood male 3 yo with a very slight shiver in a rear leg. It's not extreme, though that's from limited interaction with...
