Silly filly!!! The Traumeel is a great start. I would use Arnica rather than the DMSO but that is the anti chemical me speaking. I would get her some Rus Tox and Ruta Gravis for ligaments and tendons and hose three or four times a day. She will ...

As far as my filly goes, I am absolutely distraught. Going to try get a 4x4 paddock up today to try contain her a little more. She is in a paddock of about 20x30 and as soon as she feels better then she motors around and we are back to square one....

We actually had a Boerboel who had arthritis and used to chew her joints as well. She was permanently on MSM and a joint supplement to help her. And while on these supplements she no longer did this. Definitely a sign of pain. Sometimes I tend to ...

This is quite shocking as Bute only masks the problem. One would think that in the UK more could be done to discover the 'whys' of the problem. Whilst I am not in any kind of hurry to ever use Bute unless it is essential and there is no doubt at ...

On a completely different track to your filly, but also with regard to Bute : I correspond with a friend who lives in the UK and has a very aged ex-hunter/ TB who chews his joints. He is on 2xBute daily, as the vet says he is in pain. When he is o...

I think Andree has the answer!! Make it a triple. On a serious note the wisdom with regards to the use of anti=inflammatories and pain killers for such an injury is very debatable as they certainly can do more damage when not in such discomfort -...

Dalene gave me Pharmacalm to use with my old Arab mare as an alternative to Bute, as she was worried about the effect on her kidneys. It worked very well when the farrier had to lift the very sore back leg to do the hoof, and also when she went an...

My filly sprained her off-fore quite badly on Monday. I called out the vet as I knew that she would be needing anti-inflammatories. She could hardly put any weight on it. The leg was so swollen that the vet suspected that she had injured the deep ...

Yay Flynn was so much better. could ride him yesterday. Such a treat as I have not ridden him since the SANEF dressage. Thought he deserved a break. The swelling on his leg has come right down and he is not lame at all. Taking him for a hack this afternoon. Hope the weather holds...

Hi there. Tis surely a dodgy one!! I have commented to her asking if she has horses. If not she will be banned from the network just like the other one who was trying to market her internet stuff. I don't think that it is a virus, I think that it is more likely just someone trying to get leads to market to but having said that I am not about to try the email address.

Sad that we must think in this defensive way just to live a normal life!!!

Hi Nevenka! Nice to see you here..

If you would like some help with clicker training NO PROBLEM!! Just make a lesson time with me, I have tapes and books but they are very precious.. maybe I will lend them.. however there is nothing better than watching and learning first hand.. I should set up a course for a few people at a time... do you think it would work??

Hi Nevenka.

Claire asked me to answer on her behalf. Bambi now belongs to Kathryn Hemmes - Kat on this site.

Are you interested in her for someone? Your timing could be good as I think Kat is thinking about being ready for something else.
