True... to a point.

All of my leaking Rambos fit perfectly, have no tears, caused no rubs and never had another horse touch them (absolutely...

[ryansgirl]

I hate Rambos - their waterproofing is a joke. I've had SIX leak over the years (all Wugs or Original with Leg Arches and all sheets/no fill, bought in...

Wow. What a way to make an entrance to COTH. Don't come on this board in a panic asking for advice and then ignoring ALL advice from everyone looking...

[ryansgirl]

This is what worries me - the badly limping part. Sure I might ask my farrier friend but she's also a vet - she specializes in everything related to the...

[ryansgirl]

This.

To be on the safe side call the vet - they can get a much better look at the wound than we can from a photo. Hard to tell how deep...

[ryansgirl]

Did you call your vet? If you haven't then right now is probably a good time to call them....

If the Manna Pro is primarily oat hay I wouldn't feed it. Oat hay is typically much higher in sugar. Without knowing the NSC or much else about the product...

Check out Bucas - I swear I saw a fly sheet from them that was just velcro in the front. Maybe they have turnouts too?

I had problems getting Standlee Chopped Alfalfa quite awhile ago. Contacted Standlee and they said there was no shortage. Managers at Tractor Supply would...

She needs to be on pergolide (Prascend). Please tell your vet to read up on what happens if you don't put a horse on it. No clue if it affects the topline...

I've scanned through this thread and my only suggestion at this point is to get his back xray'd to rule out Kissing Spines.

This horse is...

It was a wet year in my area too. My hay guy lost about all of June due to the wet weather and didn't bale any. He won't bale unless the weather conditions...

Going the "natural route" for Cushings is setting your horse up for an early death. And a lot of pain and suffering along the way that can be...

[ryansgirl]

Lots of really good advice already here. I just want to add that I've saw a decent number of horses euthanized while I was working at an equine hospital....

[ryansgirl]

They are fine for their teeth. There are feeders with a metal grate on the top that the horse has to pull hay through to eat - these can cause problems...

[ryansgirl]

I have a navy one that I use when I handgraze my mare. She does get a little sweaty under it on the really hot/humid days but it helps a ton with flies....

[ryansgirl]

Neck issue was my first thought too. I'd stop riding her immediately and get her checked. And yes show your vet this video.

[ryansgirl]

I've ordered from them for years and never had an issue...until recently when I had to return something due to manufacture defect. It's settled now but...

Third person in MA has unfortunately died from EEE....

[ryansgirl]

I've always heard it referred to as "Triple E" on the news - much easier to say. While rare humans do and can get it - that's been known for...
