I'm wondering about your comments below. I don't understand how the whiteline can become stretched from diet or metabolic insult? It seems to me that a horse...
What I mean Karen is that when I see a stretched or damaged WL down on the sole when trimming it usually means that diet has created laminitis. I¹m talking in...
Hi all~ If anyone has a trimmer that is up in the No Calif area, can you please contact me? One of my horses has been sold and they would like to keep up with...
Well, yes, I've seen those case studies (you'll find some comments from me on one of those BLOGS). Was there a particular one you wanted to comment on? I'm...
Sorry if you receive multiple copies but I'm posting to several groups that I'm on. The barn where I board my horse is changing feeds (they've become a Nutrena...
No none in particular maybe the first one though, UGH. She trims in my area and I¹ve gone behind her. One horse was so foundered from the trim it was ...
First of all if he has no real special needs he really doesn't need anything besides grass hay. Flax seed is OK in moderation and if the area is selenium...
Hi, Kim. On Finn and in that album that says you think he's unweighting the foot. You can definitely see the pulling on the extensor process at the top of the...
Personally, I would get an analysis of the feed so that you know how much of everything you're feeding for the amounts that you give your horse. Then, you can...
... anything besides grass hay. Flax seed is OK in moderation << Please be careful with Flax Seed unless you're balancing the calcium/phos with something....
Hi Karen: Yes I agree with you, was supposed to get xrays last week for fun but the vet ran out of time. Now after going to the local Equine clinic and ...
Sorry, Karen, I thought it was in my original email. He's out 24/7 and is a trail horse. We're still in the groundwork stages (I'm not quite ready to ride...
I had always heard it was rice bran that would unbalance the calc/phos ratio. Thanks for the warning--I'll be checking into it. Kathy =^..^= ... anything...
If he is not doing much right now then I would give little to no grain as possible. Too much protein can cause a world of trouble. Grass hays are the best to...
Nope, just a really big Paint (breeding stock). He's at least 16 hands and about 1100 pounds. Not really a good endurance prospect, so I've been told. I'll...
But, there are several "stabilize" rice bran products on the market that have added calcium. Just look for one of those. Alfalfa is also inverted. Karen ... ...
I is definitely the exception and not the rule that a big horse can succeed at endurance (unless you're talking about limited distances and not 50-100 mile...
Yeah, Paints, QH's and so on that are the stocky QH type usually don't work well in endurance. My Paint is more TB bred and looking. I used my Mustang for...
Depends on what your goals are and how much of a challenge you enjoy :- ) He'd probably do Limited Distance (25-30 mile rides) fine. But, for 50-100 milers...
This is a very good idea--I'll be thinking on it! I add the ACV for health benefits (I think I'll be getting stuff with the mother in it for the future) but...
Thanks, Cindy. I think I'll be looking into the hay pellets--sounds like more of what I'd feel better feeding him. I'm in Michigan (severely selenium...
Just call Eckele. I think they're much more responsive over the phone :-) Karen ... for health benefits (I think I'll be getting stuff with the mother in it...
So Kathy, where in Michigan are you at? Fred Fenner www.Emerald-Acres.com ... From: Kathy Krudwig To: barefoothorses@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, November 05,...
Hi there, I have to feed hay replacer pellets quite a bit. Partly because I have such easy keepers, I can't break up a flake easily as I feed only grass hays....
Hi Rox, They are manufactured by Mountain Sunrise in Utah. I pay $7.50/50 bag. I know the feedstore where I buy from sells the straight alfalfa, the 50/50...
Thank you very much. The closer dealer is in Gilroy. I will have to call and see what there prices are and what they carry. Thanks again Rox Denise Frick...
That really depends on what part of the country you are from. There are many pellet dealers throughout the country. Here in AZ we get Equidine and Lakin. Both...
