I have just learnt that a lot of supplements are not what they should be, or proclaim to be. Also, that not all companies that sell supplements are nutritionists despite their claims. I have just discovered my 2 horses are deficient in selenium. I know this, because I have just had them blood...

Hi all, My first time posting on here but I’m just looking to see what people think. I took on a horse for full loan in June 2024. A contract (we used the BHS Loan agreement template) was put in place and signed by both myself and the owner (+ witnesses) the day I went to collect him...

Today me and my young horse took a major step back 😥😔 he got into the summer paddock which is still meant to be resting and I tried to catch him but he kept running away, he’s NEVER done this (only takes a step or two back, or lifts his head, before letting me put the head collar on) and I know...

Hi. I have a 10 year old Belgian warmblood gelding that I bought 3 years ago to do some dressage on. He is a nice enough mover but he is a bit short striding, particularly behind. He was fully vetted when I bought him, and he's had lots of vet and physio checks, and a professionally fitted...

Hi all, Just wondering what turnout boots/magnetic boots people recommend for their horses that help with windgalls?. Must be able to be turned out in them as my boy is turned out 24/7! (Does not like the stable) Thanks!

Hi, I have around 50 sachets of bute leftover after my horse has passed away, I only bought them a few weeks ago so it seems like such a waste to dispose of them! My vets can’t buy them back, they can only destroy them so is there anything else I can do with them instead of binning them...

Hi, Finally able to buy my first horse. Was wondering what are some of the products you can't live without? Or wish you had bought sooner! Thank you! ✨

Is it possible for cattle to spread pneumonia to a horse? As I know it spreads through the herd but not sure about infecting a horse.

Hi, Bought my mare 4 years ago and still have the change of ownership form oops, her passport has since been water damaged but it’s not too bad there’s nothing totally illegible but it isn’t great! It would cost me approx £25 to have the passport replaced as well as vets fees on top, it’s...
