Would be interested in the brentwood and surrounding areas too pretty please!

There are a couple of really good barefoot groups on facebook, please look there for some advice/moral support. Barefoot approach to whole horse heath and Barefoot Horse owners group uk. I would take shoes off, diet should be addressed to see if any changes could help and boots would mean...

You might have more success by posting on facebook groups such as surrey horse and pony or kent equestrian grapevine. There are a few people looking for sharers on there at the moment, they all however as far as I know are asking for 10 a day contribution as well as mucking out etc which is...

As previously mentioned diet will play a huge part in hoof condition. The sugar beet will not be doing you any favours at all, would suggest changing that to either kwikbeet or speedy beet. If you want to feed for condition then I would recommend feeding micronized linseed (not the linseed...

Many Thanks Crabbymare will pm you now!

I'm wondering if any of you lovely people would be able to give me some help, I have been looking for my holsteiners registered name When using the life number her details don't show anywhere, I have googled the number and looked at her sires offspring for that year. I have also contacted...

Have you tried stiffening your core 'holding' him with your body instead of your reins? You can try this in walk, you will find you can speed up and slow down your horse without using your handss
