I bought the one without the fringe. It worked in as much as my pony wasn’t bothered by flies but he got so hot he became overheated. I used it twice.

Melusina.. a French water sprite

I have been to the feed shop today and looked at some sprays. If I have remembered correctly NAF Deet and Carr Day and Martin Extra have 20% Deet w/w. ( whatever that means ) Phazer has 5.5ml per 100ml. NAF is £18.90 for 750ml. 500ml CDM costs £14.98 and 500ml Phazer £16.50. I have ordered...

I bought a 6’ Busse zebra fly rug and neck last year. Still have it, used twice, horse not impressed.

I have used Biteback Neem with reasonable success for a couple of years. I have just ordered this, a newish product. https://bitebackproducts.co.uk/products/biteback-superfly%E2%84%A2-ultimate-insect-repellent-spray I will try and remember to post how effective it is.

I used rubber matting with some shavings on non draining concrete. It stank. Underneath was rank. I couldn’t lift the mats and OH, who is the most helpful and obliging a non horsey person could be, eventually rebelled and refused to help move them and clean underneath. I changed the bedding to...

No need to dispose of bags here.😀 When my rugs are washed at the end of the winter / summer season they are put away in their bags for storage.

I bought some long sleeved wicking tops in the sales. One was for running, one for riding, the other, cycling. I did have to stitch a collar on one otherwise the air jacket rubbed my neck.

No firmness intended.😀 I had to look it up again to make sure I had remembered correctly.

This is what I meant. Explained in paragraphs 2-6 I think. https://www.aqha.com/widget/-/how-does-omeprazole-work-and-why-does-it-matter-

My pony had 6 injections in his rump. He was also given sucralfate. The first, which was done after scoping, cost £250. This was fine as he was still dozy. The last 5 I took the pony to another vets. The next 3, £170. The last 2 were 1/2 doses and were cheaper. The second and 5th injections were...

How frightening. I am glad you are all OK though. I had a fright caused by a stallion too. I rode with friends on an open hill. The other horses were geldings. The local hill stallion, we had no idea he was loose, decided to try to mount my mare. Fortunately one of the geldings was very good at...

I have a skip, rubber gloves, short handled plastic shovel and a stiff hearth brush in the horsebox. My pony, so far, has happily whiddled into the skip shortly after loading to come home. Usually there is one poo per journey. I will have had the ‘box for 4 years soon and I doubt it has been wet...

Rest day today, gardening instead. Hacking tomorrow and a brief lesson on Saturday. Maybe we will manage a trot this week. Probably another longer hack on Sunday then on holiday on Monday, hopefully flight will be fine. Finan will have a week or so off unless he begins to get plump in which case...

So sorry

I don’t think it’s clear from my first post but Finan is still at livery and will probably remain there.

Some of you may know that Finan had ulcer treatment and 2 scopings. After the injections were finished I moved him to full livery. He had over 3 months off so exercise began slowly 12 weeks ago. 3 weeks ago we tried canter for the first time. Today I took him home and rode round ‘our’ woods. We...

My vet wouldn’t prescribe gastroguard or sucralfate without scoping first unless the horse had previous ulcer history. He said he needed to know he exactly what he needed to treat.

Thank you. That explains a lot. My balance is not great, inner ear I guess as I am always travel sick. I have left side lower back pain from horse accident 20 years ago, doctors only prescribed painkillers, and my body spatial awareness is poor. It was only recently that I realised I had been...

Sorry @sbloom I ‘ve been following this thread in the hope of finding what to do. I have back pain and ride lopsided. However I need a translation for this.

So sorry

Dudgeley?

My pony colicked 3 times. His other symptoms puzzled my vet. I had the pony scoped. He had grade 2 ulcers. After 4 injections he was scoped again. The ulcers were nearly healed so 2 more injections were given. The investigations and treatment took 5 months. He was restarted 2 months ago and all...

Any one else getting this at the bottom of the page again?

I expect each horse may react differently but my nearly 17 year old Connie has been scoped twice this spring without any apparent concerns.

Oh, tempting. I have wide feet, any good?

Just saw this. Will it affect Badminton? https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.uk/news/regional-news/m4-traffic-live-coach-fire-7042637
