Yeah, the stinky traps attract because of the rancid smell. HOpefully since that smell is more stinky than my tack room, they'll go to the trap, and never make it to the tack room!

I am going to get a stinky hanging trap tonight on my way home, hang it low just outside the barn and see if they won't go there instead of into my barn.

I spoke with Larry from Spalding (he...

Maybe I missed it in 20 pages of stuff, but why is AC4H still posting "available" horses on their Facebook page? As of 12 hours ago.

OP, just saw that you passed, probably a good idea! After having dealt with scratches pretty bad on the above mentioned mare, I would never knowingly buy a horse that had an issue with it.

I also had a mare with white socks and she got scratches pretty bad every year, even in dry fields. I added flax to her diet last spring, and haven't had an issue other than a few tiny scabs since....

The only time you would need papers would be to show at a breed show (Morgan in this case) or if you attend an open show and want to enter a breed-specific class.

For example, in Vermont our...

Hmmm....I will go to the store for morning coffee in outfits like that...leopard print pajama pants, anybody?! :yes:

I have been reading up, and I think the issue is that the barn is damp/higher moisture content, so stuff in the tack room (saddle pads, etc) have "organic matter" on them [i.e. a food source for the...

Larry, I PM'd you

I had a show shirt hanging in my tack room last year after a show, and THANK GOD I looked at it before just packing it in the truck for the next show because the creases along the collar and sleeve...

I really do not believe they are moths - I have yet to see a moth even near my barn, even when the lights are on at night. I can DEFINITELY see and hear the fly buzzing aroudn in the barn/tack room....

Where in New England are you? Anywhere near Vermont?! :D

With that small of a price difference, I would go with new.

Tack room is 12x12, and part of the reason I think they are able to get into the tack room is because it's not "finished" off - i.e. the walls go up to the floor beams above on the ceiling, but...

On the side of the throatlatch, not underneath. Think like where your throatlatch would hook on your bridle.

My friend had a gelding with strangles (confirmed wtih a culture) and it came out exactly where you are thinking throatlatch. It doesn't always come out under/between the jaw bones.

Unless you're hauling in reverse/by backing up, it shouldn't matter if it rains while you're hauling ;)

Plenty of trailers do not have top doors in the back above the ramp and horses haul in them...

Oh, and we are not getting him a helmet because the spot is actually far down enough that a helmet won't even cover it...

:cool:

So hopefully, he can be mindful of his soft spot... ;)

So Rusty is completely back to normal in regards to his personality/behavior - even with the cone on, he is trying to bite the Golden's back legs and chase him around...perfectly normal! :lol:

His...

Laminitis is inflammation of the laminae, so rads won't show that anyways (unless there is also movement of the coffin bone = founder).

Feel for the distal pulse and if it's pronounced as a...

I would guess I'm dealing with a house fly, not cluster flies.

Yes, I have never seen a roach on our entire property ever, and can hear and see the flies in my barn.

I am assuming if they were the same types that are found in houses, that they would be inclined to also be laying eggs on things in the house? No?

And they layed eggs in cracks and crevices - like, in the cuff of one of my show shirts that I had in my tack room hanging on a hanger...

Also they got into my saddle pad bag, and layed eggs along...

Yeah, these ones don't do this...they fly around solo, I actually haven't seen any just hanging out anywhere, just slowing flying around buzzing. Obviously they do stop and land somewhere because...
