She got up on her own this morning for the first time in almost a week. She has been on pribiotics, so maybe that is starting to help. Owner is going to swtich her to alfalfa hay and put her on Tagament also.

How much Tagamet should she give the filly? And how often? Thank you!

Yes, she has been well cared for, shots and everything. Not West Nile shot though... Thank you for all these great suggestions. I will call my friend with Round 1 of your ideas!

Sorry, I don't have one at the moment. Will post as soon as I get one. What's also odd, is this filly when well, will occasionally sit down. When taken for a walk, the owner thought she was being balky, because all of a sudden she would sit like a dog. I've never heard of that before! She...

A friend's two year old filly is having a real rough time. About 5 days ago, she started laying down and she could not get up without help. The vet was called and he ran panel and said her levels and organ function looked fine. She does look real weak in the hind quarters. Very little muscle...

I own a mare from Rock River. She is a 28 inch bombshell! I can't afford to show much, but she's a star in my book. Tiff from Rock River has very fine taste in horses and puts great thought into every breeding. Rock River has been in her family for 3 generations. This is Rock River Chicquita...

Yes My husband and I show.I'm 51 and he is 52.

I'm not real good at color, but I bet it will be a beauty!

Thank you! A number of his foals have been marked similarly too!

What a beautiful boy!

Thank you! He is a very good boy!

Hay there, I haven't been on the forum for a couple years, and have gotten involved in driving during this time period, so first resolution--to follow the driving forum, to learn and see what others are doing! We have a pair of mares that have been going single for several years now. A friend...

Here is our new stallion, Little Smoochie! He is 35 inches and a real sweet heart. He is a very chubby boy, and we will be putting him on a diet, excercise program to get ready for show season. He is a lovely driver, very quiet and responsive. He will be shown in color, country pleasure and...

Thank you for the well wishes and info. Ziggy's jaw is relaxing and he is eating slurry on his own. He's much more alert and doing much better. He was vacinnated 4 months before the surgery, so falls within the 6 month rule. Thank you again!

She has been opting not to give the booster, if they have had it within a year. She called University of Illinois, since she has never seen a tetanus case before, and they agree with that stand, and said that in the rare cases that they see tetanus, it's on animals that HAVE been vaccinated! She...

My 2 year old donkey gelding has tetanus! He was vacinnated for it in the spring. He was gelded 2 1/2 weeks ago, and the bacteria entered thru the gelding wound. Vet's used to give an tetanus booster when animals are gelded, but no longer do, because the shot can cause kidney failure, and...

Great advice! Our boy is already nine, having spent his youth with the Amish. He acts like a young horse. Here is a picture of "Boones Little Buckeroo Fancy Pants, " sticking out his tongue in a color class. No pictures of him driving at the show, and now hubby's camera is broke! I'm having a...

Maybe he needs to hand-breed, not pasture breed then. After he reared his way thru a driving class at a mini show recently, (driven by my hubby, who is recovering from back surgery! Ouch!), a trainer did give him quite a lesson! We haven't driven him since, because he just had his teeth done. We...

Well, I have got my driving mare that has the 2 1/2 month old colt beside, driving again! She was first trained last fall and seems to remember everything!!!! We either tie the colt to a fence (with hubby right there and watching him) or who-ever is not driving, walks baby around. We have tied...

He is fabulous! A number of those action shots would make beautiful poster! He should be on a calendar! Or maybe have his own calendar!
