Desiree is right that there should be a strong Canadian presence again this year myself included. For all of you Area II folks (and everyone else) don't forget about the first ever Canadian Area II show on June 26-27. Triple points like any Area show, and a whole new set of competition for...

We have put some info about the recall on our practice website. We are big on client education and there is a lot of good info on the site if anyone is interested in having a look. McKee-Pownall Equine Services

The recall is in Canada as well although none of the reactions have been in Canada to my knowledge. I have given several hundred doses of Prevenile over the last 2 seasons with no problems but our clinic did stop using it after the word came from Intervet. We have gone back to Wyeth/Fort Dodge...

It is illegal for an equine dentist to administer sedation regardless of whether or not they are "trained" to do it. They are not insured to do so and you have no recourse if there is problem as a result. They also have no license to lose. If you have your horses insured and they are hurt or...

Very, very nice. Hope he can move like that with the cart! Are you guys going to get to any of the US shows with him? Lockport? Ashland?

Just got my stock trailer back from being modified for Minis. I know a lot of people like to see how regular trailers can be modified for Minis. All partitions are easily removable. Can take 3 Minis and lots of "stuff". I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Is there drug use in Miniatures? I would assume so, why would it be different from any other discipline? Examples that immediately come to mind: - sedation for clipping, trailering, minor emergency medical procedures or to relax horses for measuring. - antibiotics for minor wounds to prevent...

It may not be rocket science but it IS surgery and a potentially life threatening procedure if not done properly. There is no comparison between castrating a calf and a horse (Trust me, I've done both). Prices will vary tremendously but if you ask me less than $150 is too cheap and greater...

Feeding a warm bran mash on a cold night makes the owner feel better but doesn't do anything for the horses' comfort/warmth. It is most important to provide warm (or at least unfrozen) water at all times to be sure they drink enough. Bran does not have the laxative properties that everyone...

We are indeed having an Area show! June 26-27, 2010 in Milton, Ontario. Everyone is welcome! This show is being run by the MHCO.

I'm sure the vet knows the dosage for Banamine just probably isn't sure about the weight of the horse. Have a potential colic examined before administering any home remedies. You can't syringe enough mineral oil to make much of a difference to an impaction and accidental aspiration (of oil...

I don't mind that they don't tie down at the bottom as it adds to the challenge. It would be easy to find a way to secure the bottom if you want to.

We've been using the busy snackers for over a year. We can get 2-3 pounds in ours. They are standing up very well to the abuse.

Thanks for doing such a great job Shawntelle! Hope you had fun. Love the pic of Awesome with Captain Canada! Matt, I saw Mini blankets in Pleasant Ridge in a variety of sizes but I buy most of my stuff from Ozark Canada.

Under the direction of your vet Monistat can be used in eyes for fungal keratitis. You need to find out if you have fungus as Monistat will not treat bacterial infections and triple antibiotic will not treat fungal infections. Proper diagnosis is the key first step. Don't put anything in your...

Erick competed successfully in breed shows, Pleasure shows and CDEs in 2009. Next year I hope to travel to the US for breed shows and the Ohio CDE. Erick in Dressage Cross country

Yes, Yes, Yes! Great idea Mary Lou!

I have 2 Bengals and I just love them. Mine are strictly indoor cats as I don't believe in letting cats out in the city. Plus who wants that kind of investment wandering the streets unsupervised! They have very unique personalities that are even very different from each other. Both are...

I think this is the best I have ever seen. This 9 year old stallion gave me shivers I haven't felt since I watched the 8 year old mare Blue Hors Matine. Enjoy! ETA: Sorry for the repeat post. I just saw that Yvonne posted it on the back porch.

Ok Leia here you go! From our Dressage test at the Glencameron dressage and cones show. I don't have many driving pics from this year other than from this show. I can only get my private photographer/boyfriend to come out every once in a while<G>. Too bad as he does such a nice job.
