Thank you for responses! Much appreciated

I opened a claim with my insurance company and my horse will be getting the full work up.

joiedevie99 - I agree with you! I don't want to just inject...

I am devastated!!!!

It is not a stone bruise. I ended up having the vet look at him yesterday. We decided to block his foot to confirm the stone bruise diagnosis. He didn't block out on his...

Yes, the farrier did hoof test him. He was a little sore in the center of the soles on both feet, but didn't test super positive.

I am not sure what the product was, it typically goes under pads...

Donkey - thank you for your response!

This horse has never had to go in pads before (used to be barefoot and fine) and I would like to keep it that way. Of course if he needs pads, I will put...

I am starting to worry. It has now been 2 weeks since the pads have come off. He was head bobbing lame at the trot today. Walks completely sound.

Order of events:
4/12/12 - full cover snow...

I love the euroseat because the seam is not on the inner thigh. When the seam is on the inner thigh, I usually only get 6 months out of a pair of breeches because the seam starts wearing really bad....

My horse had full winter snow pads on this winter. They were removed last Thursday. Now he is foot sore (ouchy) on the hard ground. (I am currenly doing the rain dance in New Jersey - lol) What do...

There really isn't a cool place by the feed room... The tack room across the barn is cool, it is an old cow milking room and is completely concrete.

I just want to make it very easy for the barn -...

I live in New Jersey - will it have a smell when it sours?

The speedi-Beet pulp would be good, but the barn is not willing to soak - not even if it takes 5-10 minutes.

Can I pre-soak beet pulp?

My barn is not willing to soak beet pulp. What I would like to do is prepare the beet pulp in water before hand and all I would need them to do is scoop it out of a...

My husband has caught on to most of the lingo over the years pretty well. But in the early days he did all the typical things: blankets were coats or jackets, leads were leashes, halter were...

I have had both - well sort of...

I bought a brand new 1999 F250 V10 and loved it for many years. It always did its job (almost). I just had the basic service stuff done - brakes etc... The only...

Last fecal was in November - negative.

Yes, 50ct was for strongyles.

Thanks

eqimax last fall

I got my very first positive fecal sample back. 50 eggs/gm. Should I be worried? I am going to let the barn manager know about the positive fecal sample as well. Any suggestions I should give her...

Anyone know where to get molasses flavored bute from?

This is the only kind my horse will eat and it is super expensive with the vet. The vet gave me a scipt.Thanks!

I counldn't agree more, I love the suggestions, but hoping that I picked the correct one and not wasting another 30days...

I think I am going to see how he does on 7lbs/day for 30 days. If still...

Yes - He used to only get 3 flakes at night and a little hay was left in his stall come morning... But now he gets 3 flakes when he comes in and 2 more flakes at night check because with the 3 flakes...

I totally feel you on the own farm thing...

Can't really help you with the feeding - I am having similar problems though.

He is a 7 year old 16.2 hand throughbred.

Thanks everyone!

I spoke to the barn owner today and we are going to up his feed to 7lbs/day and wait 30 days. If he is still thin after 30 days I will up him to 8lbs/day. I know, I know, but it...

Thank you for all your knowledgeable responses! I really appreciate it!

Waymire - I am regretting taking off his hair... But, there isn't much I can do about it now. Why I did it (trying to...

Still struggling here...

After 30 days of increasing his feed to six lbs/day he did start gaining weight and looking better. Now after another 30 days he is losing again... I did body clip him...

Rode with a small bat today and we were not lazy at all. He got a little nervous and jiggy though. But, he was moving off my leg - or more away from the bat, lol.

I was told by my barn owner that not all parasites have egg counts in fecal samples. I was courious if that was true??? I ended up worming, even though I really didn't want to because my horse had a...
