Ok...so I went ahead and bought a half cheek french link with copper link from mini express. Ive bought some stuff from her and have always been happy. I figured I would try that first. I was trying to stay away from a mullen mouth. Just dont think I would like how it would feel for me and...

I have a 19 year old well trained driving pony. I'm in need of choosing a new bit for him. The bit I have came with his harness used and is pretty old and is getting rusty. It's just a plain half cheek snaffle. He does pretty well in it but I was wanting to try something else. When I had...

No I have not. Is it still in the price point as a steel?

My 40" mini has been shod and padded to help with his arthritis and being driven on the paved roads here and help with the concussion on his joints. The smallest shoe my farrier found locally was a pony 0. But had to cut some of the heel off to make them work. Anyone here know where we could...

That's what I'm afraid of. He is totally fine walking under cart. But if I asked him to trot that's when he shows the lameness. I'm afraid now that he would be walking and lite driving sound only. I have made my farrier aware of the situation now and he is coming Monday to trim him. He has a...

No she didnt. I don't think it was very big. But it was there. She seemed mainly concerned with the arthritis and did say the adequan will help.

Vet said owners do the shots. And it's a shot every 4 days for 28 days then once a month thereafter. She asked me of I was comfortable doing them because the owners do them. I know alot of other people who use the adequan and they do it themselves.

My gelding came up lame so i called the vet to do a lameness exam on him. Xrays showed arthritis of both knees and fetlock joints. Right was worse then the left. And a bone spur right in the DIP joint or on the top of the coffin joint. Does anyone have experience with this? I'm thinking of...

Yes he had done nothing for about the 8 years my friend had him. Before that he was used as a lesson pony and driven. The vet has him on bute for 14 days to get the inflammation down. She said that he can still be driven and may or may not need bute beforehand. I've been thinking about...

My guy was diagnosed yesterday with mild to moderate arthritis in the knees and fetlock joints and a bone spur in the rt front coffin bone joint. I assume hoof boots won't provide any cushioning for joints and hoof?

I do not drive those miles but when my gelding limps over all the pebbles on the side of the road because there is nowhere else to drive and his feet get sore then I would have thought boots would help him.

Where I live all we have all of our roads are paved with very little grassy roadside. I am looking into getting hoof boots for my gelding. Wanting something with a good rubber sole. Would love the renegades but of course they don't make them small enough. What do you use or have had...

Also express minis in citra florida has them also. Just ordered a set FRIDAY!

Sorry haven't been on here in a while. Yes I got it and LOVE it! So very comfortable.
