Not sure what is wrong. Started in winter small bald patch got bigger and bigger. not mud fever got vet in washed leg with anti fungal stuff. eventually got better nearly all back to normal then all started to fall out again. goes all flacky and dry and then loses hair. Been putting on factoe 50...

it has a liquid consistency but not as thin as water, just very sloppy! She often gets it when the spring grass comes through but normally not so bad. What did the vet give your horse to help it?

Sorry this post is a bit yuk but my TB mare has had really runny green poo since the spring grass has come through and it doesn't seem to be improving. I have her in a smallish field and the grass is very short so there is not too much of it, it is just obviously very rich. I have tried feeding...

Thanks, so what is the diagnosis? Is there anything I should/shouldn't be doing?

My TB injured her leg around a month ago and although the swelling went down and she seems sound, the veins running down the inside of her back legs seem to become engored with blood and swell sometimes. I have been told this is called blood spavin but don't seem to be able to find much info...

Ha ha, I had my camera out to take some nice pictures in the snow and when they started carrying on I had the exact same thought!!

Just turned my horse out (she's been on box rest for a week) and she's definately in season! Prancing about with her tail up infront of all the boys!! It seems really early for this? Anyone else feeling the pain of a flighty in season mare?!

Which would you say are the best? Cavallo's? Was looking at the chagall's and again they have a million fabrics to choose from! And also do you know what material ur pikeurs are?

I am looking to buy a pair of Pikeur (or possible Cavallo) full seat breeches. As the local tack shops dont stock them I need to go online so cannot feel the different fabrics for myself. Can anyone recommend what fabric to go for? Looking for something soft and reasonably warm. Much...

Yeah my farrier mentioned that. Nothing much seems to be coming up when I google it, can you give me anymore info? Thanks!

My TB mare had a swollen leg last week and so after box rest the swelling went down. However, the vein running down the inside of the leg seems enlarged in that leg, worse so if she has been running around (she was turned out today).The vein on the other leg is slightly engorged also. Anyone...

I am purchasing pikeur breeches online but am not sure the difference in the fabrics. Can anyone tell me the difference between the normal high cotton fabric and the prestige microfibre 2000 material? Are they worth the extra? Thanks!

Has anyone tried thermal tights to go under jods? I was looking at the Pikeur thermal breeches but they actually look like a wet suit material! So now thinking of just getting thermal tights/leggings to go under my breeches. Perhaps the mountain horse ones. Anyone tried these?

I am looking to buy a made to measure Black country saddle, either the BCS GPD all purpose or the BCS Equinox 2 Endurance. Does anyone have either of these saddles to help me make my decision?? Thanks
