My first guess would be overwatering also. May want to water in early morning if needed instead of evening so you cut down on chances of powdery mildew and use a drip hose to water roots and not...

I am solo in the morning too. A trick just recently shown to me - take a large halter, turn it upside down, slip the nosepiece over the foal's head with the unbuckled throat latch part toward the...

Day 353, and still no foal for us... Seems to be a common theme this year

Not done this, but could be fun, depending on budget http://biltmore.com/visit/equestrian/default.asp

What about Don Alfredo?

Coal tar creosote and used oil are also a problem

I'm with SportingSun - I rarely post also. Last time I just asked a simple question and got what I thought was an rude response from someone who assumed it was about them. It wasn't. I avoid even...

We've stayed at Wilderness Resorts last fall http://www.wildernessresorts.com/rentalcabins.html
But don't see the cabin we stayed in listed anymore, it may have been sold or no longer being rented....

Delivery is expected on Saturday.

Asked them today to send one to me. It's 1st cut timothy and some really nice, leafy 2nd cut orchard from northern west VA.

I have found someone selling premium timothy and premium orchard (leafy and beautiful) that can deliver to the Knoxville, TN area around Nov. 11th. I believe they also have alfalfa. If you are...

Good to know. Was this for pasture, hayfields or both? This is something we might consider in the future using HVH's method of reseeding some annually. We did drill some of our pasture with pure...

Realrush89 - hush, Bermuda tends to be a dirty word around here. Seriously, I wouldn't mind having a Bermuda pasture and overseeding with annual rye and/or wheat/oats for cooler season forage, but a...

This has been very informative and in looking at studies that are posted on the internet, it does appear that recent studies suggest the endophyte is present in the plant stem during the summer and...

Thank you for your kind replies. We really don't want to compromise the mare/foal health as this will probably be it for her, and our vet would like to see her off pasture sooner rather than later....

Wow - I don't believe we've ever met, Tamara. There are quite a few people around here selling hay, and you have been recommended by several people. I appreciate the fact that you are a reputable...

We have a pregnant mare, due in mid-March. We live in east TN, hence will need to remove her from fescue pastures soon. We plan on putting her in a dry lot and feeding hay - she does not do well on...

I was told by the large animal Theriogenologist at UT vet school that I could use bute on my mare (up to 1 g/day) as needed for pain due to injury. This was when she was 60 days pregnant. Last...

Crossbow works too after berry drop in fall or just leafed out in spring.

Kel Manning is also a barefoot trimmer in the area. LC Feeds in Lenoir City and Agrifeed in Knoxville both sell Triple Crown. Don't know much about the boarding situation as I keep mine at home....

Tim Gradous in Waynesboro, GA, right outside Augusta. He does an outstanding job.

Nobody?

Want to get opinions on Sinatra Song. Some of his foals in the U.S. are now starting undersaddle - how are they doing? What does he bring when crossed with an Arabian mare. I have heard good...

Geologist here with graduate degree in sedimentology, also married to PhD in geochemistry/clay mineralogy - the term clay in our world is based upon particle-size, independent of mineralogy. The...
