You can also rub arthritis cream on his joints. It will increase circulation, keeping the joints and leg warmer. That may help make him more comfortable.

A good friend of mine has an old QH mare...

Just this fall I shipped my mare form PA to SC. She's 24. She made the trip just fine. She's normally a nervous hauler, but showed up here like nothing happened. She also doesn't always handle heat...

Sid, I can tell you from personal experience that it gets easier. I went through something similar in 08 and it took a long time to get over... and it wasn't even my horse, just one I had in for...

Serious ulcers will cause the additional problems you mentioned, but mild ulcers or excess acid often demonstrates itself most strongly in behavior IME.

A cheaper test... Buy some ultra-strength...

My TB mare also, while she does grow a decent coat, really can't handle the cold. She will shiver and she's a hard keeper already, so I don't want her to have to burn energy to keep warm.

I have...

I made one last year and didn't use a real pattern... just kinda made it up as I went. To get the sizing, I pulled out one of her sheets and lined up the fleece and got the length. Then laid a saddle...

No ideas on a diagnosis, but I rehabbed a gelding with the same symptoms. Very infrequent off on the right front. Most of the time, just a shortened step or resistance to move forward, but he'd...

I'd bet money on a little piece of thorn in there... a little splinter that he's trying to work out. You can go 2 different ways. Aggressive or passive.

Aggressive, you grab your clippers, clip...

I don't have a husband yet, or munchkins, but I have been in that spot... that barn is a chore spot. It's horrible. I did discover through that though, that being at the right barn really makes a...

Can you tell if the lump is soft tissue or bone? It could just be some scar tissue, and for that some consistent massage will help bring it down over time. If he's not objecting to any pressure,...

I agree with the others. And I think a waterproof sheet will totally freak her out. The noise and the texture... no way.

Get your hands on a nice cotton sheet, remove the back leg straps, and get...

I found them on Uship, but dealt with them privately (did I mention I had 6...

I just had my mare hauled from PA to SC by an amazing guy, so I wanted to go ahead and give him a COTH shout out.

The guy is Zachary A. Keith. He runs a small operation. He has a 4 horse that he...

Just because he feels a little better doesn't mean it's not colitis. It can flare up and settle down and flare up again, depending on different factors. And it can cause ulcers in the hind gut.
...

If he's comfortable and happy on bute, keep him on bute. My mare has been on a gram a day for the last 4 years. I also give her an antacid with it as she is ulcer prone... but we've had no problems....

I bought my mare when she was 11 and her tattoo was still readable. The letter and last number were a little faded, but you could make it out (I think it help that we knew what it was from her...

So final question: Would you recommend this? I have a 24 yo TB mare with ringbone, early stages but it bothers her enough to give her a definitive limp at the trot. This does not slow her down any...

OP, sounds like colitis to me. Which, considering other options, isn't the worst. It's manageable once you get it under control.

I hate to add more to an already stressed system, but... I'd add...

OP no need to worry about him and I know what you're going through! I grew up at a show barn and sheets came out when it dropped below 60*. I THOUGHT the horses needed them, but came to learn it was...

The worst is behind you, trust me! It's just like any other break up. The decision making and delivering the decision is the worst part. Now it's all just business.

She was taking advantage of...

Dear ZUZU,

I hope you feel better soon!! Hang in there, rest, and take the medicine. You're going to recover just fine. And maybe while you're gone recovering, some of us can try to pick up your...

Another member of the OTTB with "neurologic" issues camp. When I did the PPE on my mare, I was told she was neurologically unsound. Well she was more a rescue than a prospect, and my mom and I...

well i have a fly sheet already, but I've always disliked them. She'll be out at nights in the summer, so we shouldn't have a need. She's going to be right on the marsh and there is tons of tree...

12 is not at all too old to fix the canter/jump. I bought my mare when she was 12, had no training but the track, and we showed in the junior hunters a year later.

My guess is that if you've been...

15-20 is good enough for COPD, I assumed that was the reasoning. I've never had to deal with cushings, etc, so I wasn't aware that was something done for them too. Glad I learned something new...
