I've known 3 horses that would colic from banamine, so I can't imagine it is ALL that uncommon, though those horses were odd and sensitive about other things too.
Have you tried Equioxx? In the...

Wow, someone was JUST telling me about this today. She said to use the White-Wash in a bucket of water, and hold the tail in the bucket of water and it apparently works great! I'm going to try it! ...

Totally different perspective here, as a rider who gets on a lot of unknown horses I would be keeping my heels way down on him, he is built to buck! Anyone else see the big butt, downhill build,...

I think the Klimke II is the model I saw last year and I was not impressed. Cheap slippery leather, no real knee rolls, shallow seat, etc. Sort of looked like an old Wintec Pro with cheap leather...

I am on the other side of this story here, I have very little money and have had the opportunity to lease about 4 horses over the years and show them, and it has been a positive experience for all...

Both people I knew that used it got it from the local pharmacy. Neither horse got too bad about the treatment, maybe a little flinchy towards the end of it. Some of the sarcoids we were treating...

mroades, xterra is a zinc based cream, I think, which might discourage sarcoid growth or shrink it but I haven't used it. Aldara is a human genital wart cream, very potent, and will remove the...

If you work her harder, can you get her lame enough to block? Otherwise it seems like you could just spend a lot of $$ without really being able to say what you are treating.

Yup, I have seen it used on a number of horses. It does work well, you have to be prepared for the sarcoid to get raw and oozey before it falls off. I would guess that you might need to give the...

I love using treats to teach them to stand while mounted because it is easily transferrable to a busy environment like a show! My current horse seemed very touchy about mounting and he throws total...

Does the horse have any stifle issues, or have the stifles ever been looked at?

It does sound like weak stifles. I have worked with a couple of horses who had this issue, and it honestly takes MUCH longer than you first think to get the ligaments strong. It took a whole year...

Unless you pay the folks at Dressage Daily enough to announce every time you win a training level ride, LOL.

Thank you, this gives me a GREAT place to start looking. The saddle already has been adjusted as much as possible. It is not pinching anymore at least.
For now I am shortening my stirrups and...

I have a horse that really needs a wide tree- he has round withers and wide shoulders and the medium trees pinch him. So I have been riding him in a wide saddle. However, he is so uphill that he...

Could it be that he is cribbing when the sugar levels in the grass he has available are spiking, irritating his ulcers/stomach? It would make sense that the grass is high in sugar when it is first...

I know two horses that have had them on, and both have done very well with it. Both horses were exhibiting behaviors that were going to get themselves hurt or bust their stalls down, both were...

I love my vet, she is rational, sane, knowledgeable but willing to do anything to learn more if she feels she needs to...and she knows the difference between me calling and saying "can you check so...

Limelight :-D !

Me too, and I can put hunter braids in fairly quickly, but now I feel like my dressage braids could be better. I haven't heard of knotting them, would love to see a pic.

Those braids look stunning, but they also kind of look like hunter braids with tape on them? Like they are folded instead of rolled. Interesting. They really show off that horse's neck.

Wow, he is gorgeous. I don't have the ability to take another dog right now, but surely someone will fall in love with that face.

I would love to see everyone's best/favorite examples of dressage braids, on any horse. Close ups would help!! I need something to aspire to with braids. Also, I need motivation to not hack my...

Make friends with a vet and buy doxycycline at cost!!!

Because the treatment is long and you can expect about a 200% markup buying directly from the vet's office.

I wish someone had given me...

A few weeks ago when we had weather like this, I turned out in the closest paddocks to the barn, thinking it would be easier to bring them in after a little while. I put a nice calm little mare out...
