    Recently a few things have happened and I have wondered if we are loosing compassion towards horses. My horses are the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing at night - we may not have mega money but they are all cared for. I also spend a huge amount of time worrying about them...

    I do not have any rib injury history. This has never happened before. I was cantering and suddenly every time i went up and down in the saddle my ribs would feel a pain. So every 1 second my ribs would feel a pain. I didn't even fall off the horse or anything, I was just riding as normal and...

    Hi everyone, thanks in advance for reading! We have a wild brumby stallion that we rescued from a meat auction. He’s about 3-4 years old (guessing by his teeth) completely unhandled and the only experience he’s had with humans before we got him was being rounded up and scared to death at an...

    Just bought a standardbred and found a hard lump above her hock. Looks like a splint but I can’t find any info on what it is being above her hock. She also has a runny nose which I was told was from bad hay. It’s in both nostrils and mostly clear. Other than sell it does anyone have any ideas...

    So. This is going to sound like a really dumb, probably obvious question- if you know it. So here goes. Has anyone ever heard of... Sternum breaks? or something similar? in TWH's? Ya know... all that exaggerated high stepping? Pretty sure if i tried that, i would most definitely knee myself in...

    Shameless plug for survey answers here :p I'm part of a team at Cambridge University investigating lameness, and we're running a survey looking at it effects on horse owners. It only takes 2 minutes, and you can exit at any point. If you could spare some time to give it a shot, we would be...

    Hello, all! I've been in the market for a new horse for some time, but really just taking my time to find a horse that suits me. I'd been interested in this OTTB mare at a nearby rescue, and finally, I got to meet her and see if I wanted to move on with the adoption process. I made it quite...

    Hi everyone, A few days ago I noticed a little lump on my mare's front right leg, the leg that has predisposed problems. At first I was very concerned. The first day it was very hot, but she showed no lameness so I used a "wait and see" approach, knowing it wasn't one of the bigger...

    I own a 14 year old Trakhener gelding, and he had an injury to his fetlock last year that left him lame for several months. After his time off, hes been used for casual light riding and has been great. He's recently developed a medium sized lump on his fetlock where the injury occurred last...
  18. Member Journals
    Hello everyone and anyone. After reading through (and loving) many journals I thought I may as well start my own, and create a place to share/vent/laugh/cry about all things to come! I guess a little back ground to start with: I'm 25 now, I started riding when I was around 4-5 years old, my...
