A girl from a local yard I know takes her 4yo out on hacks and canters everywhere, including jumping logs, hedges etc on a 16.2hh youngster, i feel sick everytime i see it!!

Thank you everyone for your input but I have had the vet out 4 times to keep double checking things and had all sorts of tests including ulcers, she is fine and vets have said she is just marish, they never suggested regumate though which i was hoping they would as i can only seem to find it...

Hi, yes every check has been done as thats what i originally thought 'pain' but she is fit as a fiddle, just a cow bag lol x

I have owned my mare for 6 months now and NEVER in my life have i owned such a difficult horse, she bucks, rears, kicks, bites and is so dominant! BUT I love her and we are creating a beautiful bond (when she feels like it of course). I have recently put her on gold label equikalm to try and...

Thank you very much :)

She's had no vacs recently.. its so bizarre as she was stabled so couldn't of done anything running around either :-/

Hi guys, I posted just over a week ago about my mare rearing and bucking during riding and received some great advice so thought I'd try again on here.. Prior to my post I had her teeth done, saddle adjusted, osteopath out and then the vet as the previous did not work, the vet gave her a...

Yes a lot has changed which I didn't consider she is now in a new home (been at new place 6 weeks - behavior started approx 3-4 weeks ago) She does have a new buddy who is now turned out in the same field as of 1 week ago, they used to be in fields next to each other, I will be ringing the vet...

I started the BY after the naughty behavior started (although behavior has got worse still), she is currently on calm and condition with chaff, her diet hasn't been changed recently but I had it reviewed by baileys online and received an email saying it was the appropriate food and quantity so...

I've had my mare now since November, when she came to me she had been out of work for a little while, we started with light hacking and built the work up gradually. When we started schooling she was working in an outline beautifully and naturally (She was very well schooled as a youngster). We...

So my mare was a very sweet girl, she would throw the faces with the ears back at you but never ever try and bite etc and around feed time or sometimes whilst doing the girth up she would kick the wall which was just her she would never try and kick you, if you walked behind her she would...

Sorry I didn't phrase that we'll. I have chosen to leave her on box rest and it is a change in surface so I think maybe stone brising only is the problem. Just wasn't sure if shoeing would delay recovery

Hi guys. My mare is foot sore and is being shod on Tuesday (currently barefoot) so will be on box rest till then. I'm just wondering if shoeing her will ease her soreness or make it worse? Has anyone experienced this and would be grateful for any advice as never had a foot sore horse before. T.I.A

She was fine that was meant to say x

This could be a possibility but she was on the first couple of rides and responding well toy instructions :-/
