What a lovely kid, she handled it so well. Great character building 😀😀🐴🐴

Thankyou lar that’s very interesting because the farrier, who is first class thought he had a abscess behind, 2 days later he was very bad with laminitis. Only had pads in front then 😀

Thank you all for your replies, so lovely to hear of the recoveries. Mine had pads in all round and only mild rotation. He is 17 so happy to retire if needed but he is so well in himself, bossing around his feild mate we thought we would ask the vet. He was lame for three months, sound for two...

How long after your horse was sound after laminitis did you ride them. We are going to speak to the vet on Monday but just wondered if anyone had experience, thanks

Ŵe have a new one, who are people using in Cornwall for second hand saddles supply and fitting. Very wide Connemara. Thany you 😀🐴

Hi is having dengie hi lite mixed with his Bute, I have ordered a no molasses mix dengie now. I worry all the time about ulcers etc

That’s what I thought, but was trying to take everything on so didn’t think of it till later x

Thank you all very helpful, when he said reduce hay to 4.5kg all I could think was ulcers. Luckily he is annoyed but not stressed

Thank you that mirrors my thinking, my vet is not advocating movement, my boy has been in the stable for over three weeks, luckily big stable and rubber matts x

Thank you so much for your reply, the dengie is the one the vet wrote down but I will order the molasses free one. He was already one the Baileys lo cal for laminitis. It is minefield I will ring the vet re getting tests done ASAP x

Thanks

Thanks, will get him sorted once he Is sound, daft thing is we have been so careful the last 18 months because he was older, have kept his weight down fed everything suitable for a laminitic. He has been seen by vets for injections, I always ask what they think not one has said he was too fat

Trickle net at night hayledge nets in the day, although he is ripping them. I think I will try and get another opinion

Yeah that what we worked out, 7.5kg as right, I understand he wanted a rapid weight loss initially but seems hard to continue after three weeks. He has no others signs of Cushing but thinks insulin resistance, thank you

Yeah I thought 6kg would enable him to lose the rest of the weight more slowly. Yeah all hour is soaked for hours

Thanks it’s so hard, like a doctor you just accept what they say but I have to be sure

He told me to feed carrots and turnips which I thought was odd, I only saw him today, just odd that others have been told to feed ad-lib soaked hay

Thanks I will look at the blue cross. Yeah vet advised carrots and turnips which surprised me. He is 16hh and the other half is cob 😀 just seemed odd that other people seem to half been told ad lib hay. Thanks all, I have never had. Horse with it in 40 years of horses.

He is just under half a ton, he is a connie cross so a heavy type. The vet wants him to lose more weight. He is now having carrots and turnips. He has 2 feeds of hi fi lite as well. I just think he lost enough in a short time?

Hi, my 18 year old Irish boy has gone down with laminitis, vet staight there pads on feet. Three weeks in he is still on Bute but massively improved. My question is feeding, he had on vets advice been on 5kg of soaked hay a day. He had lost 55lbs so looks pretty thin. The vet had says to reduce...

Your manager is letting you down, you are being bullied your work environment is becoming hostile. This will impact your health if it goes on. Trust me I know my mental health suffered greatly. This situation needs to be dealt with by the yard manager. Remember ‘ don’t kill your self for a...

We bought a newer 7.5t lorry in January, young horse travelled fine for first 15 times. Then one day coming home he was kicking stressed travel boots in pieces, moved partions, bit better but still not standing up downhill. My husband removed the head boards, which were bars not solid. Took...

I have a very short 19foot long daf, luv it now but took years to be confident. Just go as slow as you feel comfortable

Many thanks��

Sorry a question going autumn hunting first time for years, can I wear a white stock with tweed or do I need to buy a shirt and tie?

My language was worst������

Thanks all I was so upset and angry as him and his horrible wife couldn't see the problem. ������

Thanks, I will report to the bhs as well, I know that they won't do anything but if he does it again they might��
