Please can you ask how to treat small cuts and grazes please? 2. Is it okay to share tack/grooming tools between horses? 3. What's the healthiest snack for a horse and in what quantity can I feed it? 4. How do you tell if a horse has an allergy to fly spray or some other product? I've heard of horses having reactions to citronella, but what are some other common ingredients that horses may have a reaction to? 5. My 11-year-old mare is "clicking" very loudly in her hocks. She is moderately exercised. Last year she drank quite a bit of water and peed a lot, I thought. Does she need the HA shots to the joints? What would you recommend?
