You might want to check with the seller and see what they know regarding the mares' previous offspring. If you can get the names of ones that have been shown, you can have AMHA do a query on each one ($5 per horse) and it will give you their show record.

My whole pasture is fenced in no climb horse fence. I had it put in after the 2003 tornado came through and took out all my other fences. It's done a great job here keeping dogs out. I do have to watch and make sure nothing digs under it. As opposed to Charlotte, deer do jump mine and they...

Do most of you feed your weanlings individually or are they group fed?

It takes more than the normal adult human dose of Zantac to heal ulcers in horses. For an adult miniature in the 250 lb range, I may give 3 - 150 mg tabs 3 X day. For a weanling, I would probably give 2 tabs - 3 X day. I've had great success doing this over the years and combined with...

I can see that Triple Crown Growth and Senior are very, very similar. However, not all feed companies are comparable between their Senior and Growth/Junior feeds. I'd want to be sure the right balance of vitamins and minerals are in those for young growing horses. I do want to add that one...

I would absolutely use Ranitidine (Zantac) along with your Sucralfate and UlcerGuard. UlcerGuard works on stomach ulcers and Ranitidine is effective on intestinal ulcers, so a combination of both is most effective. Hoping your fillies get better quickly.

When I've treated for suspected ulcer cases, I"ve given Sucralfate and Ranitidine at the same time before feeding. Twice a day (Ranitidine sometimes 3 X day). Then I give Ulcer/Gastro Guard a few hours later in the morning. I've had really good luck doing this when I treat aggressively. I've...

Thanks everyone for your input so far. I find it interesting that some of you feed Senior feeds to young, growing horses. And Laurie, those articles are really interesting. Makes me go hmmmmmm........ especially since most commercial feed products have both soy and beet pulp in them!

She's very pretty! Congratulations!

What do you feed your weanlings? Grain - pelleted or textured(sweet)? Growth formulas? Ration/Diet balancers? Protein content? Additives? Hay? Pasture? What works best for you to keep them well filled out after weaning and keep big bellies off? How long do you keep them on a weanling...

Jane, I think that would depend on what else you are feeding with it. I have 'grown' my yearling show colt on Progressive Nutritions' Grass Balancer and Timothy hay, pellets and compressed from Standlee. Both are 8% protein but the Grass Balancer at 30% protein, balances it out nicely.

I feed my show horses the Standlee Alfalfa/Timothy cubes and they work great. I generally feed them soaked and they are easy to pull apart. They are also easy to weigh dry. I would be very interested in seeing this product and will watch for it at my feed stores.

I use Standlee compressed alfalfa bales and Standless compressed Timothy bales. Love both products! Top quality hay in both. The alfalfa does get a bit powdery, but I feed it in a bucket or tub to not lose any. The compressed bales are different than cubes. I also feed Standlee...

Thanks for posting this info!

It was a really fun show and I hope to see lots more of them not only in Oklahoma but across the country!

Congratulations on your placings! That's awesome!!!

I'll be there. Hope to see everyone else there too!

Muffntuf, yes it's a pellet. I've had a yearling colt on Progressive Nutritions' Pro Advantage Grass Balancer since January this year. I was having some leg issues with him earlier caused by the variety of products I had him on. After visiting with one of the nutritionists at Progressive...

There are a number of facilities across the US. For me, personally, I have had sold horses quarantine at Nedpoint Quarter Horses in Oklahoma, Shortview Export in TX and EZ 2 Spot Ranch in TX. There are many others.

Right on, Dr Taylor. I coudn't agree with you more!
