Tribeca, you and Dazzle look great together. You and she both look like you are having a lot of fun.

Not every pony matches every kid. My daughters grew up loving their own ponies and hating...

In humans there are some studies showing that shaving increases the chance of infection. Clipping hair with scissors is not a problem. I used to stitch a lot of people scalps at my job. I tried to...

The doors on my Sundowner are designed so they can be left open. My Sundowner dealer told me to leave them open as needed, and I have not had a problem in the 12 years I have owned the Sundowner. My...

I would want a blood test for EPM and a good neuro exam done. Do you have a vet school near you? Often, vet schools are a good place to see a vet surgeon who spends most of his or her days seeing...

Talk with a local rescue and see if you can borrow a horse if you need one. You may need to do paperwork now so you can get a suitable rescue horse quickly if you need one.

We have been fortunate that we have been able to keep track of almost every horse who we have sold. The ponies stayed within a few miles of our home, so we were able to visit them regularly. When...

My guy used to get a 6" diameter swelling after EWT vaccine. This year, he only got a small swelling. I try to use a 1 1/2 inch needle for his injections instead of a 1" needle. I think that helps.

If you can't bring him in during the daytime, can you get a run in she'd that will keep the bugs away? My horses would go crazy too if they were out with the bugs and sun in the daytime.

Anne Desrochers at Morven Park in Leesburg is an internationally known ultrasound internal medicine vet. She is amazingly good at figuring out complex problems.

I think coffin joints are pretty simple, just like hocks. I think navicular bursa require digital x-rays and a little more expertise. I have gone to the race tract veterinarians at Charles Town, as...

My friend hauls her 1400lb 17h warmblood in the one horse Brenderup, pulled by her midsized Lexus SUV. He seems quite content in the Brenderup. At low speeds, the rig does well. When I am in her...

I would first put them in stalls, next to each other, for at least 1 night. Then, I would turn them out in adjacent paddocks for a few days. Eventually, when they seem bonded to each other, I would...

Thanks for posting. What an amazing recovery.

We have 1 skinny older horse and 3 extremely easy keepers. Our old guy is a picky eater. After he has eaten a food for a while, he tires of it and won't touch it. Our best choices have been...

Rambo Excel/XL blankets might work. Smartpak has them on sale now.

Good luck finding a good farrier north of Frederick. Good farriers in that area are scarce and extremely busy.

If you are sure you are going to go back in the spring, you might ask if she would consider letting you pay a holding fee to guarantee she will find a spot for you in her barn when you are ready to...

MDHorseGirl, don't blame the local vets for not coming out for an emergency when you had never used them before. Too many of the emergencies from new clients are people who will never pay their...

My friend has a lovely gelding by Banks Fee Daniel. I don't know if all of the BFD offspring are that nice, but her gelding is a nice horse.

It has been over 3 years since I lost my horse to laminitis. Finally, I have some days when I don't think of him. I bought a new horse a few months after he died, which was probably too soon. The...

Congratulations! Another job well done by a well bred Irish horse.

I love the ramp on my about 9 year old Sundowner. It is long enough that the angle is not too steep. It has a nonslip surface. The ramp is light enough for me to lift it with one hand. Horses...

We did Serevent and Flovent inhalers one year. They were expensive and helped only a little.

Lucerne Farms Dengie instead of hay, opening the barn up like a run in shed, cold hosing once or twice a day on hot days, Ventipulmin 10cc twice daily if needed, and dexamethasone 10mg once daily for...

I don't think there are any cheap places to get Flovent 220. You can comparison shop and see if QVar 80 is cheaper. There are charts available that compare the potency of each form of inhaled...
