Those are GREAT shots. You'll be able to keep that memory for a long time, lol!

And for the record, if it is a collateral ligament injury and you injure it further with jumping (which is the prime cause of those injuries -torque!), it might take a year rehab in order to resell,...

How frequently are folks thinking of double-dosing?
Given the Zimectrin Gold stories, would anyone double-dose that?
Would you double-dose yearlings?

This is very interesting how the pieces...

My understanding is that stem cell fills in tissue -- a tear, etc. I don't know that it would work on an older injury, unless your MRI says there is still a tear? Otherwise, I think folks are...

Breathing deeply...

She's okay!! At least as far as I can tell in my trip to the barn before work. No swelling, sound at walk, looked fine in a tight turn in the wash rack, willing to weight all...

Okay, so I looked the other way last week and she was an angel in turnout. Did that after every ride and life is great. Did it tonight before we rode and I had a banshee on my hands. Squealing,...

My 2 yo is going out for training in May. He is a Appy/Trak gelding, 15.2h, expect to be 16.2h. I thought I was going to spend 60-90 days getting some of the basics in ground work (long-lining and...

Eileen,

How thoughtful of you to post a picture, too! That is a big help for me. But I agree with others, it was kinda hard to notice the bit (or browband) with that photo -- a stunner!

J-Lu,...

Thanks, Iride!

I was reading the text and not looking at the picture. I *did* notice that the DS picture was displayed in a "hanging" position, but duh, didn't click.

My horse seems to be a...

Does anyone know what the difference is? I can't seem to find it

Thought I'd chime in with my mare.

Her lameness began last June, stall rest for July didn't work, MRI diagnosed the medial collateral ligament injury in her RF hoof. August through November was...

My new favorite wound care came from another CoTHer: Banixx. I used it on my yearlings cuts and when his lymph node ruptured. Much faster healing than betadine, furacin, neosporin, alushield, etc....

I am not a lawyer.

If your parents paid for training, either can argue that they have an investment in the horse and thus if they need to split assets, the horse must be sold and assets divided...

This website reviews user-submitted "cool tools" each month, and then archives monthly recommendations by category. I have my best riding shirts, headphones, tick removers, and portable radio from...

not again,

wow, i like your system. It is clear, it doesn't lay any moral judgement about their non-barn activities, they know consequences and you give them the opportunity to call without being...

Ask for the video to be unedited, and have them show footage of them catching the baby in pasture, bringing it in and doing whatever normal handling the baby knows how to do right now: leading,...

Maybe she should have Mondays off and work on Saturday? LOL

If she is competent the remaining days of the week and this is just a Monday thing, and you haven't said anything -- she might think...

Flying Heart,

My vet at Alamo said that a medial tear of the collateral ligament of the coffin bone is usually the problem if it's in the hoof and all xrays and flexions are clean. Somehow I was...

What if you are the buyer and have a coming 2 year old -- would you xray everything just to have a complete record?

At the office, if I hear a colloquialism, I point out when it's horse-related:

"no point beating a dead horse"
"that really gets my goat"
"when I'm back in the saddle"
"handed the reins over to...

OMG back at you, Rubs. If there is anyone who deserves this comeback, it's you. You've been so good about all this. I am very, very, happy for you!

I haven't done anything since our first...

Boy, I sure didn't want to click into this thread.

PM, EL, (and TT) -- I think you were all trying to protect us from how bad it really was. Thank you for your assuredness and calmness and hope...

Thanks to everyone who helped clarify. Sheesh, being a mini-owner is harder than being a horse-owner (or cat or dog-owner); being off feed for 24 hours doesn't have such serious repercussions.

If...

I read the article, but am a little confused about how this develops. EL, (or anyone else) do you have a firm understanding that you can re-explain?

If I understood the article, it seems like it...

Sorry, I'm just thinking about him again -- any chance it's something to do with his extraction? An infection setting in?
