Sorry to say that I was about to write exactly the same thing! My horse had many, but not all, of the symptoms in that list and a few weeks ago was diagnosed with degenerative joint disease in both hocks, a sore SI and grade 3 & 4 ulcers. She’s been treated for all and is already seeming soooo...

I have just had one that came to £1,800, but I asked for additional back x rays if that makes a difference. She was in for 2 days as they wanted to check her suspensories the next day after the nerve block had worn off from the day before - this is also including the cost of hock injections done...

I had him out for my mare and he was very good! He allowed us freedom again 😊 he was kind and patient and taught me what to do when she says no. I thought it would be much better to go straight to the best, rather than messing about with cheaper people that might have made the issue worse...

Blackfort are good! Flexars have a shorter range. I tend to just fold up the bottom of any that are too long and put them under my socks!

Mine went up by 20% this year!

They are my vet practice and are very good. I’ve not had a bad experience with any of the vets, although Jason can be a bit concise in his assessment so be prepared to ask questions if you don’t understand or need to know more! I have also never had a student attend to my horse without a...

When I was a teenager I was convinced I could do this - however, once I bought my horse I knew I wouldn’t have been able to let go of her within a year! I guess it depends if you knew you wouldn’t get attached, that the horse would sell quickly, and that it wouldn’t pick up any tricky...

I find max gut health has been really good for my horse

There definitely are. I only know of one that is based in Hertfordshire, but I know they travel around the country. I will PM you :)

Flexars really are good, although over £50!

I bought a Whittaker zebra fly rug for cheap, and then realised why it was so cheap - very odd proportions! The belly flap hung really low, to the point legs could get caught in it. So stay away from that one! I love my shires tempest fly rug.

My horse had a hairline fracture, although to her left foreleg. Unfortunately it was 4 months of box rest in total - 1 completely in the box, 1 with hand grazing (although I abandoned that towards the end due to dangerous behaviour for us both!), 1 month hand walking (she was MUCH better on...

I’ve been thinking of getting one of these for my chompy horse, but having heard this, I’m not going to bother! ?

Didn’t do my girth up properly, cantered a 20m circle and realised the world was going sideways, then landed on the floor ? poor horse was most confused! Only a small bruise on my hip!

I am on full livery. I’m grateful that my whole time at the yard is spent with my horse, rather than doing things near her but not with her (mucking out etc). I have never encountered judgement in real life for being full livery, only ever on the internet! ? My job means that sometimes I don’t...
