Hi Bev
Weve recently taken over a small yard in Randjiesfontein, we "inherited" a horse and owner, who has paid once, in march, and nothing since.He refuses to sign the contract we sent. The horse had laminitis,which seems to be fine, and was incredibly thin, so were trying to feed him up and are giving probiotics, suppliments etc and its costing us a fortune. Is there anyway we can either force the owner to pay, or sell / give the horse away?

Hi Bev, are there any horses available for re homing at the moment?

Hi Gloudi,
I can't really advise on your horse's diet - it all depends on the work the horse is doing, and his present weight condition. I have found that good quality fodder is one of the most important aspects of diet.

Hi Bev.

It is great to see all those cart horses doing so well.

I think that I am finally winning the battle with a tb that I purchased off the track. But after adding some full fat soya on top of his diet he is doing much better. He is 9 and gets bran, molasses, 14%, lusern and full fat 2x daily. Think I should add or take away from it?

Hi Spirit Riders

If you can find X-bug that normally helps as well.

Thank you will let you know the results

Hi Spirit Riders,a good bath with Aquila or F10 normally helps for manage.

Hi, I need some assistance. I recently took in an old pony. He is lovely but he has a problem with his coat. I have been told it is a form of mange what can I use on it? Do you have any idea what might help? We really would appreciate any suggestions.

naby Meyerton, Noddy.

hey, waar is julle gelee?

Any time you like, Shalaine, you are very welcome!

Hi Bev, I am currently an Equine Science Student and I would love to help out with anything at the HHCU. When will it be possible for me to come over and help out?

Elize, contact your nearest SPCA too - they may have heard or seen something.

Elize: let us have the details please in email?

Also, there's a "stolen Horses" forum on the Neigh-Bours site: http://www.neigh-bours.co.za/ - definitely put them on there with photos if you have ... literally hundreds of SA riders and horse lovers from all over SA chat there every day

Hello. Can someone please give me information on what to do if your horse has been stolen? That is besides contacting the police and the livestock theft unit. Thanks

Hello Mina! Please speak to Ashley about this - 016 3609900/1

Hey guys, kinda new to the site and love it by the way! I just want to know what is OBP horses and are they at the HHCU premesis? Does the same rehoming policy count for them than fo the other HHCU horses that up for adoption?

Hey guys, wto the site, mst say it's terrifc! I just want toknow what is OBP horses that need homes. Are they at the HHCU and will the same rehoming policy count for them?

We have had to put the apaloosa down. Post-mortem shows liver failure

Yes, they love them Whiteflower!

Hi Bev. Can the horses at the unit eat apples, in terms of their dietary requirements?

We are having major problems with the apaloosa - condition wise he is thin, but not as thin as some we have seen. We are concerned that he has a virus of some sort, we are calling the vet out for the second time today.

oh and do I wish you had not learned that - those poor horses and they will look so stunning once they have gained weight ...
