Hello everyone I only got my beautiful cob mare last August, she was sound up till January and i started to notice she was very slightly lame in the school on her front right leg. She was on and off lame till march when she just became lame 24/7. She is completely sound in walk . It only shows...

Hi guys, my mare has a rather large hoof cast on . So far she has had 3 weeks on box rest, she has another 4 to do :( So far shes been an angel and really seemed to cope with the big change. My vets advised me to get her on a high fiber feed. I have got her on Allen and page fast fiber . My...

Hi just wanted to update people on this . My girl has hairline fracture on her pedal bone ! All this time she's had it and it would only get worse in time . So she's got a hoof cast on . She's had an painkiller injection and she's on box rest for 6 weeks! the vets seem very positive at this...

Yes she is insured thankfully. I shall be ringing again first thing Monday morning to see what's happening with her scan . Thanks guys .

Hi everyone . I just wanted to post an update on here for some advice .nothing happened since my last post regarding her MRI scan. I am still waiting for my vet to refer her which is annoying. I have kept her barefoot and she is now turned out 24/7. My vet said no shoes till her MRI results ...

HI everyone . Ok so she had the x rays yesterday . Everything is where it should be , no breaks or fractures, but in her right foot her side bones have started to grow (forgot the medical term) . He then x rayed her left foot . On the inside on her left foot she has a huge side bone! I've never...

I've had my farrier the day after the vet . He's took her shoes off as the vet adviced and given her feet a good trim . She was not happy about her right front foot being messed with . My farrier was quite on the defensive if I'm honest and sept not to happy when I told him about the x rays ect...

Believe me I'm kicking myself for not getting the vet first . When your on a livery yard and everyone on the yard is telling you you don't need a vet just a physio to check her back, and me being quite a novice to owning a horse I just went with them. But its a learning curve and and in future...

Hi everyone, to cut a very long story short, my horse went lame in January on her right front leg. She went sound one week then lame another. She is extremely lame in the school but not out hacking. Three weeks ago, she wasn't showing any signs of it improving so i got a physio out. He straight...

Yes I have a school I can walk her round in first . I won't be hacking her now till the weekend but i've got a good friend who knows what she's doing to walk out with us . She's even putting me on the lead rein to start so I feel more confident !

Thanks so so much . She's not on any feed just plenty hay and a mineral lick . Vet has said just to bring her back to work slowly . So I'm going to turn her out for a bit then pick riding up! . I've lost my confidence though so ill definitely have someone walk with us ! Just upset me as she's...

HI everyone . So last year I sold my problem horse as I haven't got the knowledge or confidence to train him . To cut a long story short he did some incredibly dangerous things on the road that could of ended up fatal . After selling him I found a gorgeous traditional cob mare . She's very calm...

My mare is currently on dengie hi-fi lite. And dengie natural vitamins and minerals . I've recently introduced mud defender by hilton herbs . She's stabled a lot at the minute and not getting ridden much ! I used to use hilton herbs calm and condition for my old horse and this worked really well...

Ok well i got my mare in August, she is a gypsy cob. In the past she has been fully clipped, hogged and no feathers. When i got her these were in the process of growing back. Her legs were massive, just big chunky cob legs .Anyway about a month ago I clipped her again, took her feathers off and...

So I have had my mare since August. She is a Irish cob , built like a tank but is very calm sweet and very well behaved. She has took everything in her stride and there isn't much she doesn't like. Anyways the past 3 weeks her personality has changed so much, she is very very moody. If another...
