ASK THE EXPERTS
In association with GET IN TOUCH BY MAIL
Always be prepared
I want to create an action plan in case of a strangles outbreak on my yard. What are the steps I should take and how should we manage the yard?
On a loop
What are the benefits of using a horse walker?
Mini me
Is a Shetland pony a suitable field companion for my 16.2hh competition horse?
Subtle signs
A livery on my yard keeps donkeys as well as horses. How does a donkey’s behaviour differ?
Agree to disagree
My farrier said something I didn’t agree with about my horse’s management, but he’s a trusted professional. Should I address it or ignore it?
And relax
My new horse loads well, but doesn’t seem very relaxed in the trailer. Is there anything I can do to help him feel more comfortable?
Get studying
I’d really like to go into equine vet nursing, but I’m worried I don’t have the grades to go to university. Are there other ways to train?
Happy hooves
My horse had a couple of foot abscesses over the winter – should I be worried that he gets them repeatedly? And is there anything I can do to prevent them?
Sedative savvy
Are there any sedatives I can give to my horse at home without a vet needing to administer them?
Making changes
I’m going to start doing cross-country with my horse over the summer. Do I need to let my insurance provider know about the change in use for my horse?
New shoes
Can I use hoof boots over metal shoes? And, if so, what would be the benefit of this?
Up or down?
What’s the benefit of using a hay manger as opposed to a haynet?
Loosen up
My horse is currently out of work, should I still do stretches with him?
Step outside
My friend watched one of my recent dressage tests and said my horse isn’t working into my outside rein on a circle. What does this mean?
On course
My horse struggles to stay straight into a fence. How can I improve this at home?
Balancing act
Are there any exercises I can try to help me rely less on my hands for balance when I ride?
End of the line
A lady on my yard always leads her horse with a lunge line – why might this be?
Management know-how
