This issue of just about anyone that can tell the public they’re a professional keeps on giving. I’m hoping more people have the guts to ask away and have the sense to question rather than take these charlatans on face value

GASTRIC ULCERS

Gastric, or stomach, ulcers are sores that form on the stomach lining. They are common in horses and treatment should include management modifications.

LAMINITIS 🐴

Small native ponies can be particularly prone to laminitis. They’re very efficient at living on sparse grazing, yet domesticated life often comes with rich grass, extra feed and very little need to burn it off!

Being overweight increases the risk, but even a slim pony can have insulin dysregulation. They don’t have to look fat to be at risk.

We need to feed the pony in front of us. A little native pony may need much tighter control of grass and calories than the horse next door.

That’s why I’ve made mine what I call a “laminitis paddock”, and why his small paddock is covered in carpet: to limit access to grass while still giving him time outside with his friends.

He still needs suitable low sugar forage, enough fibre and balanced nutrition. The aim is controlled feeding, never starvation.

He thinks I’m being unreasonable. I’m trying to keep his feet attached and his insulin out of orbit. 😂

Flash back to having the horse with no name for a month. Fresh from Newmarket. He stood in his stable for days despite the open field being there. This shows that horses wanting to be in a stable is habitual. It’s where they get fed and most importantly with race horses, they don’t know any different as they dont get time out of the rat race to be a horse in the field….so the stable turns into their only place of solace where the stress is so much less. Think about that.
Here sorento as I named him is calm, relaxed and now used to the flags, bunting, Taupaline and things not being a strict routine all the time. Here’s his first try of the bua saddle. What adjustments do you think I had to make?

Horsey life hax
Where we share ways of making the most out of life for our horses

MILES OF SMILES in the saddle
Flash back to recently moving yards, starting to take my ex racer out riding after him having many months of doing nothing, learning to be a horse living out and choosing when he wants to come into a stable or go out in the field.
Here’s our story 🙂

YES!!!! van insurance company! I was given a £1400 quote and paid half of it

I then went to cancel it 3 days later. I disputed how much they wanted to keep. Asked them to go back to Acorn Insurance & Financial Services trading under granite. Van compare ddecdes this meant I didn’t want to cancel my policy so they left it running! Planks! I rang up days later to say hello what’s happening?

Turned out that granite (acorn) under writers want to rip me off for
1) £37,50 set up fee
2) 45, cancellation fee
3) days insured doubled in price (the thing I originally was questioning)

Finally I get to speak to someone called EMAD in customer services and I’ve asked them to listening to our phone conversation to recoup all the days of insurance they mistakenly left running

And to ask the underwriters to reconsider how much they’re trying to rip me off for.

Disgusting

PAYPAL AND EBAY ARE SCAMMERS

Well even though I sent the proof to PayPal that the eBay parcel had not come to me, they’ve gone with eBay and dhl and taken the money from my account. Now I’m £104- on PayPal for a cam belt that never came to my address
:(((((
Original purchase was august 19th 2026 Transaction 47526914BV5121622 via PayPal

Then they refunded me transaction.
2L793913NT068545T

Now it’s showing I’m in the minus.
I never received the cambelt.
are the ones who had the contract with the people who delivered it to the wrong place and I’ve never received it.

😞

So I have a brain injury. Never lie about it, have excelled in what so many said I couldn’t. During my final year at university, someone really struggled with their studies. I, who’d got nothing and had no support helped this person. This person actually said these words: I didn’t expect you to be so clever. There she was, desperately accepting help from me, because she was struggling and had always looked down her nose at me then said that……
Past forward to my role in the professjonal field and the way i was treated by one saying “youre so slow its because yoy hit your little head” was astounding. She decided she would block me from progressing and those above her enabled it. What they didnt realise was others made statements to back up how id been treated. Those above were scared of me so they ensured I was the one who was outed by a HR woman who came and said “why do you tell people about your brain injury, you wear it like a badge”. Id asked if i could record the meeting. So i had. The way people will treat us is astounding. You wouldnt know i had anything wrong with me, until you spend a lot of time with me. I have emails and proof of how ive been treated and colleagues still tell me to take it higher. To top things off, i do my job better and with more care than most and i know im good at my job. Im not restricted to trying to be like anyone else.

Someone suggested this on Horsey life hax as I’m thinking at times I could do with warm water at the yard where the horses live out (can come into the stables to eat hay and can go out to grass when they choose)
