I'd unfollowed the page based on the c**p she was posting, but may have to check up on Lucky. I'd always got the impression that as a dealer she wad pretty good.

I've just done the same, along with 3 friends. We will now all be out in matching high viz pink 🤪 £90 was too good a bargain to miss

Is he an overheight connie. If he is then I would strongly suspect a physical issue. I've yet to meet an overheight one that doesn't have, or end up with physical issues.

Any results from the bloods yet. I had one years ago a bit similar, bloods came back with high white cell count. Abdomen scan revealed a huge abcess 😪 Equally friends mare was depressed & girthy, appeared sound. She was eventually diagnosed bilaterally lame in front, kissing spines & ulcers...

Their return process is easy, get both & see which looks best 🤷‍♀️ & get an 'oh cr@p strap' at the same time as I just love they have called it that 🤣

Thanks, yes artramid in all. Vet was suggesting doing coffins first as he thinks they are the primary issue. Hocks show minor changes, but in my head I want to make him him as comfy as possible. I'm not sure what waiting to do the hocks will prove. Lameness is very minor, but he's a stoic gem of...

Anyone had hocks & coffin joints injected at the same time? All 4 joints look like they need it, in my head it makes sense to do it all at once, but only if it's not detrimental to the horse.

My situation is virtually identical to paddy555

I would definitely get horse checked over as I believe saddle slip is commonly caused by hind limb lameness. If all OK then asymmetrical girthing, or a different girth could solve it.

Just keep chopping them to ground level. A good set of shears gets the job done fairly quickly. Pick up and dispose of seed heads, but the leaves can stay & rot down. This method has worked for me, its taken few years to deter them, but the grass can start to out compete & it so much easier...

I've had a relatively young horse pts due to severe arthritis. He too had not been worked hard. I questioned my vet & he told me about a 3yr old he had euthanized as it was riddled with arthritis. He had no explanation, just said its one of those things 🤷‍♀️

I've heard of a couple comiing sound with indiba & posture training, 1 has come back into full work, the other is OK with dressage & hacking but any serious amount of jumping makes him sore. Number 2 also has kissing spines so that could be the issue with jumping. Good luck & from a personal...

Fabulous, cross 1 (main) road & have the whole of dartmoor to explore 🙂 Only downside is bad weather, have to hack across open moorland for 10/15 minutes to ride around lanes

We can't discuss dodgy dealers, but can we name known scammers ( the ones that dont have any horses & ask for deposits to view / seling unseen) The scammers have now set up a Facebook page, something like horses for new home uk, where the intro is about weeding out fake profiles & the only...

Steroid jabs made my horse appear sound for a couple of months. Once they wore off he became catastrophically lame. Would never steroid jab again. He was field kept & my personal theory is that once he was comfortable he moved alot more (evidenced by the skid marks in the field 🙄) & that...
