Right I'm ranting! I'm over it. I love my horses but this hunting for hay is killing me!. Why is it so hard to get hay for a horse with special dietary needs???? So many options but none seem to be good for my horses. Duke is normal and Royal is cushings. Royal as some would know has cushings...

Hi all, sorry I've been away for awhile, school is crazy busy and my horse was just diagnosed with Cushings. :((((( Not going to lie I was sort of expecting it, and I'm actually relieved it's that and not something worse. My vet recommended Pergolide to control his symptoms, saying that...

Hey, My sister has a Morgan that appears to have cushing's disease. She's very skinny and has lost weight and muscle. However, she absolutely does not lack in energy. She also seems to be shedding her winter coat just fine. Her teeth have been floated about a year ago (The weight loss began...

Hi Guys, I have a 12.2hh pony who is roughly 23 years old, she has in the past suffered from many bouts of laminitis, she has been quite good up until recently. She has had an xray and one of her pedal bones has rotated slightly, the misallignment with the hoof is ever so slight. She is...

I have viewed a pony today that is perfect in every way for what I want. He does however have cushings disease which he takes half a tablet a day for. The seller says it is only mild and he doesn't need restricted grazing etc. He is up for £600 but I think this may be too much for an 18 year old...

I posted recently about an older are we have who was acting weird. Well turns out she has cushings. We have her on a special diet, and on medication as well, we are also trying to keep her stress level as low as possible! From what I've read online and been told, about all you can do is keep...

Two years ago I acquired a 15ish year old mare from a bad situation. For the first six months, she wouldn't even look at me straight on, and even now, two years later, she has come a long way, but I think she will always have trust issues. About four months ago, she began excessive...
