I would encourage the owner to have the vet out for an objective opinion.

Kyrabee, I hope your mare didn't have a leiomyosarcoma. That is a rather aggressive smooth muscle cancer. I know - I had it. In humans, a large tumor...

I had a chestnut horse (non TB) develop what looked like Birdcatcher spots after a serious illness. He was sick in the winter and when he shed out in...

To me, it shouldn't be that big of a problem. I, and most riders I know, tend to memorize the patterns and the letters mostly serve to help the accuracy...

I have not thought to even wish for overall heat in the barn where I board! What I have dreamed of is some spot heat - maybe infrared aimed at the crosstie...

Went out to the stable today to play with my horse. My back is acting up, so decided to do ground work. I lunged him in sidereins and did some groundwork...

[MsM]

Sounds like you are doing the right things. I know at least some vets would want to tube with activated charcoal in this situation, but you may have...

Congratulations on your new horse! Hope it all works out well for both of you.

I have seen it go both ways. First, it is really hard to...

I have a doggy door for my two small dogs - including a bad back dog. My house has a stockade fence around the backyard. Due to the configuration of...

I thought of this thread today and laughed in the shower! I rode my horse this morning in 85 degrees and humid weather. When I got home afterward...

I think you jinxed me! (But not too much) I was riding my very quiet, sensible horse. Suddenly he spotted something in the bushes and did a...

My horse treated his corner feeder as a toy. He destroyed two of them! Tubs on the floor were also treated badly - thrown around and squashed....

[MsM]

In the case of the barn I know of, it is an active training/lesson/showing barn. They want their boarders to at least take lessons, preferably more. If...

[MsM]

The barn near me that does this specifically states that the fee is to be used each month. No rolling over to next month. No refunds. I think you could...

What is the most cost-effective way to add some cushion to indoor arena footing?

The footing in the indoor is okay - not very dusty. But...

[MsM]

Interesting to read the descriptions. Then read the vet summary. On some of them, I drew very different conclusions about their potential uses!

[MsM]

Well that's rotten luck to have an injury on your first fall! I fell many times before my first serious injury. I broke both bones in my lower arm and...

[MsM]

Boarding barns around here wouldn't last long with those hours. Most owners are working people, usually 9 to 5 ish. That would mean they couldn't ride...

Ever read the "All Creatures Great and Small" books? (If not - do it! Then you will know about "stagnation o' the lungs") Anyway,...

Thank you for helping her!
