Thank you so much for your reply SEL.
The meds she is on are sucrabest 11 tablets, 3 times a day and cytotec 14 tabs, twice a day. I'm to crush them up and put in her food or mix in some apple sauce and syringe them in. She's taken them fine in her food tho so far.
I feel terrible that I...
At the mo she's having formula for feet, oat bran, micronised linseed, brewers yeast, pumpkin seeds, fenugreek, and magic.
The vet has advised me to add alfalfa to promote more chewing. And veg oil.
I'd like to take her feed right back to basics tho. Maybe just alfalfa, linseed and f4f...
My mare has been diagnosed with glandular ulcers. She's spent the night at the vets, was scoped this morning and I picked her up this evening.
She's got 2 different drugs to take for the next 28 days and then the vet will see her again
I've been told to add an unmollasses Alfa to her...
Brilliant. Fantastic cause.
I was going to sign up for this with my mare and was really excited to get going, but I broke my flipping knee 6 weeks ago... surgeon has said it will be some time before I'm back in the saddle :(
Good luck! Xx
I've got one. Blinking love it. I only hack and it's perfect. My horse has the odd spook and it keeps me well in my saddle :)
If you have a very tall horse, (I'm 5'2 and my horse I'd 16.1hh) it can be a bit tricky to get off as it grabs you as you slide down :) but it's worth it in my opinion x
Mine has been totally up and down!
Bought my very first horse and have enjoyed getting to know her and everything horse related. Even the mud and rain! Love her to bits.
5 weeks ago broke my knee, jumped off my friends horse and my knee just broke, major surgery to mend it and I'm now slowly...
I came off my mare bout 6-7 weeks ago afther she put in a massive very excited buck in the stubble fields. Other than a cracking bruise and a cut lip I was fine. On Thursday I was riding my daughters pony on a hack. He was being silly in the road so I got off, just that normal action of getting...
Thanks all.
She really is a little darling. Very laid back. And so happy.
It's a good job really, got off my horse yesterday landed wrong and broke my flipping knee... that first walk is going to take longer than planned!
Yes it's very soft. It's made from a kind of silicon material, it's about an 1/2 an inch thick. Lovely and comfy. My behind has never been sore using it and all I really do is hacking, about an hour to 2 hours a day usually.
Hold you in very well too. My horse spooked sideways the other day and...
I have the acavallo gel out one. It's brilliant, holds you in a nice position and you stick to it really well should the horse spook etc
Very highly recommended :)

Picked this little lady up last night. Looking forward to some long walks when she's older and snuggling on the sofa.
She's still settling in and is the quietest puppy I have ever met! She does play etc but really likes to sleep! She's 8 weeks and called Phoebe, or 'pheebs' for short <3...
