A pony at the barn had ulcerated melanomas on his sheath, which were interfering with his urination. I cleaned him daily and applied (at the vet's recommendation) a mixture of swat, dmso, and dex. ...

KnK,

I'm with Tif_Ann


If I were you, I'd go pay her a visit and say, "I read your note. I understand your concern, but it really isn't healthy for the pony to be in his stall 24/7. ...

Thanks, Tamara.

Tamara,

Question if you have a minute...

The barn's regular hay supplier ran out of his normal hay, so he bought round bales from up north, unrolled them and rebaled the hay. It's green, but...

It's excellent for hard keepers - smells like Candy Corn. It put weight on my gelding when little else would. As a bonus, he's the shiniest horse in the barn.

It's a lot less expensive if you...

You're kidding me?

The trainer at my barn has been telling us all that bits with copper (or Aurigan) mouth pieces aren't legal, but totally copper bits (rings included) would be. We've been...

My sincerest condolences.

I'm so very sorry. You have my deepest sympathies.

Indeed.

Today I found out that the girl's other horse sold in February. That was not the last time their feet were done. It had been two cycles prior to that, so back in November '08.

I've...

Just a quick update...

The horse had his feet trimmed this morning. The farrier was very gentle and competent and will be coming back right after the first of the year to work on him again. ...

No, I don't. That $60 is gone. He's never going to see it and he should have written it off on his quarterly taxes. The owner was his client. The horse was not responsible for the bill.


He's...

My gelding came within 1" of having his hip broken from a kick with a shoe. As it happened it missed but caused an extremely deep gash which resulted in over $1000 in vet bills. The vet told me...

The "Heirloom Hoof Pick"? It's in my current BiTS catalog. $29.95.

I bought a wooden tack 'locker' from a girl at my current barn. It's about twice the width of the Sportote, so my saddle goes on one side and my bridle hangs on a little rack attached to that side's...

Cashela, I was thinking the same about the price this morning when I saw it, but then considered that Dover's small hay net, that everyone loves, costs $17.00 + $337 shipping :D .... It may...

I have the Ultimate Hoof Pick and the Oster pick. The UHP is very comfortable, very weighty in the hand, and very sharp. You need to be very careful with it.

I had the same concrete-mud problems...

Thank you for the suggestions!
