Due to the pain and discomfort and urinating in short bursts or very infrequent it can lead to a kidney infection. If you notes your gelding regularly standing with his sheath hanging out or is tender around the kidney area or even starts playing up when saddled and bucking, it could well mean the poor lad is in discomfort. Some horses will let you check them, you can sometimes push/squeeze the peas out but in server cases you should get your vet out.

HOOF HARDNER KEROTEX top^	250ml 24.00	Strengthens poor quality hoof walls helping horses to keep shoes on and ideal for horses ridden unshod or to help in the transition from shod to unshod. (If your horse is in at night or stabled long term straw is the best form of bedding as it does not draw the moisture out of their hooves plus it will help keep the hooves out of the urine as it is the urine that weakens the walls (as well as bad nutrition) which can hinder the transition from shod to unshod.)
HORSE BEDDING top^	Free	This is just an idea I have recently read an article as regards horses hooves and they found that straw was one of the best as it did not draw moisture out of the hoof
LAMINITICS top^	Free	This is just an idea And I think a very good one recommended by a friend Natural Trimmer Mel Richards. For horses prone to suffering from this very painful problem you might like to think about a way, to allow them out to graze 24/7. This is called TRACKING, regardless of the shape of you field you want to put an electric fence box/circle in the middle using a few wooden posts as anchors . The horse/pony is kept on the outside (track) of the box/circle, the width of the track should be up to 4feet wider than the horse/pony is long , the more horses the wider it needs to be ( a few feet per extra horse) and/or make the corner areas bigger. This idea will encourage the horse to walk pretty well constantly and at the same time restricting their grazing but allowing them to graze ‘naturally’ improving their circulation and above all mental wellbeing. The inner area can be grazed by horses that are not prone and the prone ones at restricted times or in the winter.
LAVENDER OIL top^	100ml 28.00 10ml 4.00	I personally think this is the best midge repellent as they can’t stand lavender you can mix it with any base oil, aloe Vera gel or in water to spray or as a wash, put on the tail including the tip as they can then waft it around, mane and especially underside as it is here the get attacked as the midges lift up out of the grass. PREVENTION is better than cure, If the horse is affected by midges, What ever product is used it is better to start using it before the problem starts, any mild days put whatever on even as early as January. Midges, unfortunately don’t die off in the cold weather they just go into hiding ready to attack at every opportunity regardless of the time of year. With Lavender oil you don’t have to put on constantly, once a day or every couple of days depending on weather. I put some in the rinse water when washing the horses as it is a nice relaxant. Rub the oil along the CORONET BAND to encourage growth. (I wash with lavender soap throughout the milder season which prevents me from being bitten) It is worth keeping a little bottle in the house as if any one gets bitten then the oil will calm it and stop it itching. Other uses for Lavender are Burns, Inflammation, Cuts, Wounds, Eczema, Dermatitis, Nervous Tension, Infections, Bacterial conditions, Sores, Ulcers, Acne, Boils, Asthma, Rheumatism, Arthritis, Muscular Pain and Spasms.
LIMESTONE top^	1.50	Excellent form of CALCIUM. Recommended dose 20-40g daily
LINSEED SEEDS top^	1.80	One of the best natural feeds available. Linseed is a rich source of omega 3 fatty acid, alpha linolenic acid and omega 6 in the correct proportions.

It’s lignans support the immune system as well as circulatory and structural system. Linseed is a conventional plant source, an alternative to fish oils. (personally I don’t think that any animal and fish product should be fed to horses or any herbivore). If your soil is sandy then the linseed will help remove the sand from the gut. Recommended Dose: Seeds must be brought to the boil and simmer for up to 8/12 hours. Ideally if you have a slow cooker bring to the boil on the stove then put in the slow cooker over night. I tend to leave them soak for 24hours then cook them. Dosage is entirely up to the individual but if the horses manure starts to become loose then cut back on the amount.
