One of our retirees, who was 34 years old at the time, had a standing enucleation done. He had absolutely no problems at all and was very happy to have that eye removed. A friend of mine also had to...

We have a horse retired with us that was like this. His poor owner drove herself crazy and spent a fortune trying to get answers. After he developed an injury she decided to retire him. She warned...

What a relief - so happy for both of you!

Thanks for posting, I really enjoyed watching him as he always seemed to truly enjoy what he was doing. The article was a fun read!

Call Tapp tomorrow. They do that run regularly and I would trust any horse of mine with them, they're great. :yes:

Sounds like bloodwork has been done.

OP I have seen it a couple of times over the years where a horse will spike a fever for no apparent reason. The fever cycled up and down so sometimes it was...

I actually cried when I watched the first video. So happy for the mare and appreciative to all involved. Wish I had sent more than $20. And to think some people on this thread thought all of us...

I have extensive experience with horses with various types of issues, gas colics included, being shipped to my farm from all over the country, I say take him with you. I also wouldn't hesitate to...

It really seems to vary from horse to horse. One of the Cushings horses here sheds well, just a tad slower than the others and I've never clipped him (yet). Another one sheds out a good bit of his...

I'm getting ready to do a modified bib clip on a couple of the residents here that have Cushings and don't shed well. In mid April I'll do a full body clip on both of them.

Any chance he can go out with a small group of horses? Many of the retirees here simply didn't do well retired and being turned out with just one other horse in a small paddock. They needed a job...

My favorite part of that video is when Sky slows down to let Miracle catch up. She was a really great babysitter for Miracle.

I know many people on this board followed the initial story of Miracle's rescue & rehab. Amazingly on Wednesday it will have been one year since Jason & I brought her home to our farm. I wrote a...

The Brentwood/Franklin areas have a thriving horse scene for hunter/jumpers, dressage and eventing. Lots of barns, lots of trainers, plus the Brownland Horse show facility. There is also a...

Wait a second, your horse is/was on previcox, banamine and bute all at the same time?? If I read that correctly then simply based on that alone I would be seeking another opinion - especially when...

One of the retirees here is on fluphenazine. It has made a WORLD of difference. He has gone from downright dangerous at times due to his anxiety to pleasant to live with. This horse has been a...

There are quite a variety of tendon and ligament injuries walking around on my farm. Some were strains and some were tears. IMO it is impossible to generalize about recoveries. Some of the...

I run a retirement farm. Almost every horse that is retired due to soft tissue injuries is on, or was on, SmartTendon. It obviously did not help any of them. I think whether a horse recovers from a...

ChocoMare, this is the best thread update and best thread ever. So happy for you and Rachel. How comforting it must be to you to know that she was raised by such good people. :sadsmile:

I think when your vet said full recovery in 5-10 months she may have meant the tendon would have progressed to where it would be time to start the under saddle phase of recovery. I could be wrong on...

OP he was a beautiful horse and I'm glad he is at rest now. I am also stunned that your vet would start talking about more treatment options when he was there to euthanize the horse. I am so sorry...

It sounds like this has been addressed with the BO. I don't really have a good suggestion other than having another talk with the BO, wish I could be more helpful.

FG took the words out of my mouth. You ARE a hero Lori, and Katy is a lucky girl. Happy for both of you!! :):)

QA your mare is lovely!

What a fabulous photo of both of you. So sorry for your loss. :(

I have a lot of experience with both Brookledge and Equine Express bringing retirees here and have had nothing but pleasant experiences with both. The horses have always arrived on time, in good...
