I use Primero Total, and if extra condition needed Baileys Outshine. My horses fizz up on sugar and starch, but do great on these.

You could try natural yoghurt (cheapest possible as less additives). I had one earlier in the year who had runny poo and started chewing wood. Gave him yoghurt mixed in chaff for about 10 days (From memory it was 4 dessert spoons twice a day). He improved within days, and was back to normal...

Contact John Parker International: http://johnparkerinternational.com/ Have used them in the past when importing horses and always had excellent service.

I understand that in the UK, type 2 can only be tested via muscle biopsy. However, you can use a USA company called Equiseq who will test from dried blood on a card. (PSSM Forum on Facebook has loads of info. on this disease.)

I have sand and got this to stop it blowing it away: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Green-Heavy-Duty-SHADE-WINDBREAK-NETTING-3ft-4ft-6ft-High-Greenhouse-Fence-/291380164253?var=590494560909&hash=item43d79c769d:m:mfWBDhEse7-ppJ47wIcHz0Q I only installed it last Autumn, but has been riding ok so far...

This is the one I used: http://www.fibrelokproducts.com/fibrelok-contractor-non-woven-geotextile-f1100---45m-x-100m--115-gsm--362-p.asp (bought via Ebay)

There are some groups on Facebook which have lots of info. - PSSM UK and PSSM Forum

Mine are all on Primero Total and they love it. They also need a low sugar/starch diet. Link below: http://www.holistichorsefeed.co.uk/

I've got five, four of which are good doers. They all have Primero Total. 1 has a cup of Baileys Outshine added for condition. (If I want to add bulk, they all have D & H Safe and Sound) Out 24/7 ad lib hay/haylage

Baileys Outshine worked for me. And it is non heating.

Hi TPO, You probably would be better off using USA sites - I've used this one in the past, which was really helpful: http://www.horseforum.com/

If you're using Pure Feeds, it might be worth you looking at Primero Total. The bags are 20kg as opposed to 15kg and the recommended daily amount is lower. I've used it for mine for years, although I only feed through the winter.

I don't like them either. Fit wasn't great (tight on chest), and the buckles snapped within a couple of weeks. So never got the chance to try it in wet weather. I too emailed customer service, but never got a response. Sticking to Swish from now on. Mine are wide chested, and the ones I have...

Hi, Here's a list of western saddle fitters/suppliers: http://westernhorseuk.com/directory/departments/saddlefitting/ Agree with Bakewell, get a quality second hand saddle rather than a 'cheap' one, and they are available in extra wide.

Hi Spottymare, Have you looked into Primero Total? I tried mine on Pure Feeds, but switched back to Primero as the horses preferred it and worked out cheaper. It comes in 20kg bags, and I feed mine 1kg each daily. You do have to by a minimum of 12 bags though. If I want to add extra bulk, I...
