I think many of us can attest that is not true. I had a similar problem with a purchased horse got rid of the lice and voila he has a super coat. I will be checking carefully this spring. He appeared to be the only one of mine that was affected although several pasture together. (And before...

I wasn't saying that mini's won't lay in the snow, just that mine won't. They are that prissy about getting icky and wet!

My philosophy has been they are designed to be outside, that said in the winter I bring them in every night and allow them time to dry completely overnight and eat their own food (no sharing). Once inside their body temperature actually dries them pretty quickly. By the morning they are ready...

I found it on ebay also! I will wait for the staining report before ordering any. Thanks for being being the crash test dummies on this one girls!

Medicine to treat these insulin resistant horses can get expensive and perhaps this isn't within the reach of the current owner. Investigate if the horse is on medication and if so what the cost is. We cared for a insulin resistant national show horse, continued to show him for quite a while...

Every horse I have ever owned here in Montana including some I brought with me from a boarding stable environment will lay down quite a bit inside and out. They just seem that relaxed. They do not however usually choose to lay down in snow. But will certainly bask in the summer sun quite a...

He looks a lot like my smokey black (Tested) so I will go with smokey black. My black horse never fades that much.

IE and I can get to the page where you enter the information that you want I put in registration number under hall of fame and get nothing but and error message. I put in choose classes under AMHR (SPR works) and get another error message.

So does the black saddle soap leave any residue that would come off on a pinto, grey or white horse? I have never heard of black saddle soap before interesting read!

Can anyone tell me how to get the Hall of Fame and All Star results to come up from the registry on my computer. I just keep getting an error message. I have tried it several times over the last few days.

I had a similar problem last spring and I used a powder and worked it through his long coat and I also wormed with ivermectin. I repeated in 10 days for both and volia the pesky little critters were gone. PS edited to add that I treated every horse on the place not that they showed any...

I have a wireless cam that I got from Riversource through the marestare web site. Used it to have cam hosted on marestare and now with no mares due use it locally to watch a sick horse or just to check in. Our barn is probably only 100' from the house and the picture is great. Yes when we run...

Thanks Dr. Taylor, your words are (always) very encouraging, you can rest assured there will be no kisses on the lips for this gelding!

I agree rabbitfizz about not withholding the feed and since i see poop what we have been doing even thought the vet said withhold feed for a minimum of 12 hours since we see poop we give him a good size handful of feed. And then repeat every three hours or so or every time we see poop. When we...

Thanks for all the thoughts and ideas. He does use a little nibbler haynet, maybe he finds that frustrating so I will try feeding him some hay on the ground and some in the feeder.

Another note to add: Since he is right as rain this morning and the excessive gut sounds have stopped he received his breakfast. There were three untouched (un-eaten) piles of poop in his stall this morning so I truly believe he eats the poop because he was hungry and didn't get fed last...

Ok answered the questions asked in red to see if additional information helps.

Have been doing quite a bit of reading and seems that beet pulp can indeed create gas. So I think that we will drop the beet pulp until such a time as the snow and ice melt and we can do forced exercise and training again in the spring and try reintroducing it then. We do feed sand clear one...

Nothing has changed in his housing, pasture mates, stall, buckets or anything in two years absolutely nothing; other than the normal seasonal weather changes and that two days ago we added soaked shredded beet pulp to his feed. Horse has appropriate amount of weight on him not to fat not to...
