Ditto this, the tree looks fine. They even gave you a SN for the saddle, so I doubt they were trying to pull one over on you. If you're curious as to the saddle's exact details (like the different...

That really does sound odd, I can't imagine blanket straps doing that. BUT...I'd like to share something from our own experience to keep in mind as an observer at inspections:

We had a colt that...

Thanks JB, good points. This is what he's eating now:



He does get some grain currently (and vitamins), I just didn't want to increase the grain to get more weight on him - that's why I was...

Thanks HB - I thought it might be on the high side. He is currently getting free choice grass hay, vitamins 1x a day, and a small bucket of soaked beet pulp/alfalfa pellets (with 1/2 sc. grain and...

I have a youngster now that could use some more weight. I'd like to stay away from adding more grain/sugars since that can add to the risk of OCD issues. My feed store doesn't carry any ration...

I have a 6mo. colt who's older full sibling was diagnosed with mild PSSM while my guy was in utero (the dam won't be bred again because of this, but she was already pregnant with my guy at the time...

A few weeks ago, I noticed a round hairless spot on our 3 year old gelding's forehead. Yesterday I noticed another one (also on his forehead), this time it was kind of a small, roundish, flat scabby...

:lol::lol::lol::lol: This is fabulous.

We have a 17hh mare that gave us an 18hh colt and a 17.2hh colt when bred to 16.2hh stallions. If we breed her again, a 15.3hh-16hh stallion would be exactly what we will be looking for. I'm only...

I haven't heard much about diatomaceous earth, but that could be worth trying. Hopefully someone else here has used it and can chime in!

Baby seems less persistant about trying to eat the rocks...

Our guy has had a few days now with the salt block and switching the vitamins around. We've been letting him have supervised turnout as much as we can around work, but he still needs to be watched at...

Thanks for your ideas!

I actually don't know if he's swallowing them or not, he might not be. When he does manage to get some I go and clean them out of his mouth after a few minutes. He seems to...

All seems to still be on track (knock wood), after baby's trim a few days ago and some tweeks to his shoes, his hind legs look WONDERFUL - I am so pleased!

The swelling of his left hock is now...

Our one month old colt is just now able to have a small turnout area after having a very rough start to life that required keeping him and his dam stalled. We have the perfect small paddock to start...

At least it's not just that we put the splints on wrong or anything, that sounds like exactly what is starting to happen to our guy now. Our vet says that these happen with splinting sometimes. Poor...

Handsome colt! Thanks for sharing! Hairless spots wouldn't be the end of the world, this guy isn't destined to be a hunter or shown on the line (sound enough to have a career at all would be great)....

Our mare's temperature seems to be going down/staying down at last. Temps have been 99.5-99.7ish in the mornings and 99.8-100.2ish in the evenings. Yesterday was the first day she's really acted 100%...

Oh, and poor kid, the skin on the top of the biggest pressure swellings on his left hock is starting to peel off now (the right hock looks back to normal, it's just the left one that is still so big...

Thanks for mentioning this - I didn't even think about it. Our vet did an ultrasound on the stifle when he first noticed it and said he thought it was fluid above and below the joint in the tendons,...

That's really interesting, I didn't know that. It sure makes sense with what we're seeing with the mare. Our vet came out in the morning and her temp was back down to 99.5. Knowing that we're now up...

Mare's fever was back up to 103.5 tonight. :( I feel just flattened. Vet is coming out again tomorrow am to do more bloodwork...

Some good news at last! As bad as things have been this month, I'm almost scared to share a good update in case that will jinx moving in this new direction! But here we go:

Baby is looking great -...

The good news: we have made it now to 72 hrs after the equioxx OD, and baby is doing very well (knock wood). He had his iv catheter taken out this morning as well as his urachus/hernia surgery site...

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I keep thinking that even if he had just been a small pony, doing that would have only been a double dose, or if it had been our 3rd time using that...

*Sigh* it has been a long past 2 days. Baby's left hock is actually starting to look a bit straighter despite still being very large from the pressure issues. But our vet said that we shouldn't try...
