Helen W re headshaker. THis is a notoriuosly difficult problem to diagnose and treat correctly because there are a number of triggers, one if the horse has had EHvirus that may have sensitised the trigeminal nerve. Rakelin is one product that can be used, especially if it is a form of photosensitivity. I think it is a seratonin inhibitor. Certain herbs have a similar effect as natural seratonin inhibitors also. Valerian is helpful in cases where the problem is caused by fluctuations to blood flow in the nasal passage. It acts as a vasodilator and helps relax the horse that is really bothered by the stimulii. Melatonin is also a supplement that has been known to help as well. We do have some additional information if you would like to contact us at info@hiralasb.co.nz

I think I need to get a synthetic saddle for beaches ans swimming in as Foz went nuts when I put a crash test dummy on him bareback. All was sweet for 10 minutes and we started out in the yards too. Then the lad trotted and Foz went for it and even got the lad in the chest with a rear hoof as he fell. I am really glad I made him put on a back protector! What brands of synthetic saddles are out there with changeable gullets and decent wearing? Any recommendations? I have seen Wintec, Status, Kincaide, but would like to know what people think of them (as beach saddles not for full time use) and which would be the most versatile for my mix of wide gizzybred to med/wide TB's with withers.

I would go via Greenhithe - not so windy as the Coatesville-Riverhead highway. You head towards Hobsonville and basically follow the road then turn left to get onto SH1 just before the road becomes Constellation Drive, then I guess off at Greville and follow SH17 until you get to Landfill Rd on the left. Probably the least windy route. Edit: haha snap Ellie! As far as time goes it takes me about 25 mins to drive it normally from Westgate.

yep, one I tried out which was "extremely quiet and well mannered" reared and nearly went over backwards down a hill. Damn thing was so stiff that when you asked for the slightest bend it had a tanty & threw the toys out of the cot. I basically baled off when it felt like it was going to do it again. The owner wouldn't even get on it to show it to me and I should have twigged that there was something iffy. Got bucked off another I tried out once! Hmm, porkies like that are not fun when you land on the ground.

THANK YOU so much to whoever it was who posted the recipe for the chicken pie the other day (2 soup pkts, curry, cooked chicken, pastry). It is the best. My kids say it is their favourite dinner. Took me 5 mins to put it together (then cooked) and VOILA. I put sliced leeks in the top to add a bit of green. It is awesome and smells fantastic cooking.

Things which are awesome to discover: That your rego still has several months on it (thought it expired in march! nice surprise), and that your truck has heaps of oil so you don't need to disassemble the luton & tip the cab to fill it. Yay.
Things which are not so awesome to discover: That you're already 3 units behind on RUC :( poor wallet.

Has anybody got McCallum Brothers sand on their arenas and put anything with it, like rubber? I have the sand only but it needs a top up and I find it moves quite a lot (especially when it's this dry). I've been warned against rubber getting hot and 'sealing' the base of people's arenas - is this true?

Worked at Laughtons for twelve years and rubber was sold for arenas for at least ten of those Yogi and not once did I ever hear of that. There are many happy horses and riders that have sand/rubber arenas.

Righty, took Shaasta to the vet today to sort out her lameness issue. She doesn't have anything wrong with her pelvis, hips or sacral joint thank goodness. Fortunately for her and unfortunately for the vet she wasn't as lame today as she was a month ago when I first discovered her lameness. Just made it harder for him to diagnose. He thinks she has strained her suspensory ligament in her hock. I have two options, one is to put her into full time work and try and make her more lame, take her back up and do nerve blocks as she just wasn't lame enough to be worth while today. Or confine her in a small flat paddock and treat her as a rehab. So either lead her off my gelding or do 10mins of hacking on flat or rolling hills.

So we have gone for confinement and rehab riding. She hates being confined too so it will be interesting. Also means my poor gelding will be on his own which he hates. I'm just happy it was a pelvis/hip or sacral issue!!!

Ok I have a 3yr filly that is meant to be going back to the trainers next week, I don't think he is going to like me much...she has been spelling since October & I am sure that I can see a set of horns growing on her head to go with her overgrown tail that has a pointy bit on the end, put on a very spectacular display when I was moving all the horses around this morning would have done a classical higher school dressage horse proud!
