Hi, cheers for you reply - good recommendation I already have the hoofeeze as I finally invested in one last year after seeing it in the Your Horse review a few years ago. I think it's a really great poultice boot - it offers good protection and makes the job so much easier! It has been...
Hi, have you thought about a Hay Bar? I haven't tried one so I can't really recommend it, but I quite fancy one myself as they seem like a good idea. I hate wrestling with nets and he's way too messy to eat from the floor! I think they are quite expensive though.
Hi, I used to be in the nappy and tape camp until I discovered the hoofeeze. Poulticing is so much easier and quicker now! I've even turned him out in it, although when he went kicking his heels up round the field it did come off. I'd definitely recommend it though.

Hi, I loan a 20 year old gent who has a couple of problems in front. He is a little arthritic in his coffin joints and also has flat feet and sensitive soles. At this time of year it is always a battle to keep him sound because of bruising or abscesses thankfully his arthritis has been...
