I'm in my second year studying Equine Business Management and am looking for suggestions and ideas for my dissertation, preferably within the breeding sector or the nutrition sector Thanks in advance 😊

Any suggestions?

Has anyone had problems with the TMJ joint. After a recent bump overnight I have noticed thst when eating there is a "click" in the head and neck. There is no sign of pain or discomfort and is generally in great form. Our dentist and vet have checked the teeth and there are no issues in that...

I have just dug out my old tan saddle and it's gone mottled on the seat due to dampness. I have tried it out slowly but the mottling is still there. Any ideas how to remove this or will it fade.

Thanks Ladies, some very good ideas. Will annoy the lady in M&S today to get measured properly and then start looking. Thanks and gave a lovely horse weekend x

Being a slightly larger lady, I'm wondering what's the best bra out there to stop the bounce and keep the "puppies" under control😉

Thanks everyone for the responses. I have cut back his concentrates and hay is ad lib, so I'll give him a week and if there's no change thrn I might try Valeria as he's not a competition horse. Thsnks again

I have my gelding on a new yard and he isnt settling at all. i am keeping his routine the same as before, but he has all new friends and a new location and is just a stress-head. I am thinking of putting him on a calmer for a few weeks until he adjusts. Has anyone any to recommend and do you...

I only use banks to dry bedding for use at a later date when the floor needs emptying ( unless they drag them down to pee on sometimes🤣)

My 19yo ex-rh has been on Buteless joint support for 2 years now, for his joints and also as he is prone to flare-ups of cellulitis. Being on this has meant that a flare up hasn't resulted in severe lameness at the onset which I am very happy with as he is a typical man when it comes to pain...

I fed my senior TB a cool and condition nut but wasnt happy with his outline and he was starting to lose condition coming into winter. For the past 3 weeks I have had him on Bluegrass Resolve a low starch nut and the difference can be seen already. Highly recommended

Thanks everyone . It's not post and rail which would be ideal, but there are no gaps and there's a fantastic hedge on either side of stock wire, but with a stallion where there's a will (or Willy!) there's a way 😉. Luckily my mare is more butch than slutty. I'm probably over reacting but...

Ive just found out there's a stallion just been put in the field next to mine. I have my mare in at nights, but I am still concerned. I don't have the option to move fields as I own my field and he's in a rented field. I have spoken to the field owner and he says there isn't s problem !! I'm...

My TB has been on Buteless for the past 2 years for comfort and joint support ( he's 19 years old ex RH) Last week he had a bout of cellulitis and was put on Bute for 2 days. I then restarted him on the full dose of buteless which I will continue for 1 week rather than keeping him on the...

Is it true that dapples appearing on a darker coloured horse are a sign of it being overweight, or just a coat change?
