My mare was getting recurrent eye ulcers and eventually was seen by a specialist who found a tiny tumour in the underside of her eyelid which was rubbing and causing the ulcers, just mentioning it as a possibility other than allergies as it really wasn’t something that had occurred to anyone...

I had it done for what turned out to be suspensory issues- showed up some minor hot spots on front pedal bones which vets didn't feel worth investigating further, then he had blocks to the hocks which led to diagnosis of the suspensories. So probably should have just had the suspensories...

Robin Harding is great - he's based in Cheshire I think.

Also definitely not qualified to answer your question really, as I think the answer is probably very individual and depends what your horses foot balance is currently like, but I did notice an improvement in my PSD horses movement when his back shoes had a lot of lateral support. He also seems...

Meant to add, hope your vet visit goes well - it’s definitely worth waiting for a really good lameness vet for this kind of issue!

Just posting my experience of toe dragging/lameness, which hasn’t been entirely a disaster - mine was diagnosed with cruciate ligament damage, 3 months box rest and it mostly improved though never entirely disappeared. He had a few years of low level dressage, then was eventually diagnosed with...

Sorry to say I also haven’t had a great experience - mine was diagnosed with PSD and he’s only come back to light hacking and the odd groundwork session after shockwave and 3 months one rest. He has days when he seems sounder than others and might cope with slightly more work but he doesn’t owe...

Thank you! I’ve been really struggling to work out how they can actually eat from the feeders ?

Also a (probably obvious) question about the feeders - how do they reach the hay at the bottom!?

Thank you, I’ll have a look at the various feeding systems, there’s some I hadn’t heard of! Should have said, she already has soaked hay so is having as much as possible already, she’s just extremely greedy! I like the look of the Hay Pillow but the bags I’ve seen really don’t seem to hold...

Hi, I'm looking for suggestions on alternative ways to feed hay for a greedy laminitic cob who can no longer have hay nets due to repeated eye injuries as her eye sight isn't great now since she's an older lady. The obvious solution is to feed her from the floor, which is fine in the summer but...

I like it, my good do-er 21 year old has been eating it for 10 years now! It seems non-heating and she gets a lot of compliments on how shiny she is.

I don’t think so - I’m fairly sure I did my Stage 1 pre GSCE age!

I had a fab experience with the Hoof Boutique - they were incredibly helpful as I also had no idea where to start! It very much depends on the shape of your horses feet which will be best, I ended up with Equine Fusions which I'm really pleased with.

Fingers crossed it is something simple like the saddle - I had a new saddle and had to get it adjusted in only a few weeks after buying as the flocking settled much faster than expected (saddle fitted suggested 3 month check), and then had to have it re-topped up a few weeks after again so I...
