Thanks for your help Chloe. Trent Park was one of the places I was looking at. I have seen the other on a search I have done as well. We are looking at living in Saint Johns Woods or Hempstead from what I hear both a not to far from Trent Park. Thanks again for all your help. Niyani

Hi Chloe,
My name is Niyani I am sajel's mom. We are moving to London in June and I see that is where you are from. I have been trying to find infromation about Barns that sajel can ride at and take lessons. She rides Hunter Jumper in the states. She is doing 3ft as of right now. I have heard that in Europe that they only do Jumpers. Would love to get any information you may have. Thank you for your time. Niyani

hi chloé. thanks for the add.

Thank you,Chloe, for your help. The ideas you put forth were certainly valid. Unfortunately, they don't really pertain to us. The horses are all barefoot so that rules out shoeing problems. The pasture is on sand and clay soil and there are very few stones and no rocks. The vet really didn't have any ideas except to say it could be weather related. Since we have had hot dry summers and cold wet ones and the abscesses still appear, I tend to think maybe its not the weather.
I appreciate you taking the time to answer my query. My husband and I will keep on looking for answers. Thanks, Sue

Chloe. I just read your blog and found it interesting. I wondered if you would have more info on recurring abscesses in the equine foot. I was wondering if there might be something in our soil that causes the horses to develop abscesses. In the last 4 years we have dealt with these annoyances in 4 different horses. The last one popped an abscess in each foot within 2 weeks. We treat them by soaking the foot in epsom salts and painting the foot with either iodine or Koppertox. They are on pasture all summer and get only grass to eat. No grain. We are most frustrated by it as the horses are lame from these as well. Any ideas????
