I suppose, given our weird wet/dry cycles lately, the clinches could have loosened more than usual. It's also possible first shoe was a fluke, second was that the cycle was a bit too long as in she grew a bit more foot than normal or farrier didn't trim her as close as she normally is. It's hard to ...

myleetlepony

I'd be PO'd. My farrier takes it personally if a shoe comes off, even when it's super muddy, and is back out within 48hrs, no charge. I wouldn't have even given the first guy 6 days...that's asking for bruising or abscesses. Give this Anthony guy a chance and move along if you need to...there's plen...

Do they make fuzzy girth covers for western cinches? I'd probably be inclined to try one to pad over the lesions. It's likely from sharing cinches or it's possible she had a reaction to the neoprene; I've known a few horses that would react to it, especially if the area got damp with sweat at all, w...

What about trying one of those horse "pacifiers" that mount in the corner of the stall? I think they have a wheel on them to keep them busy. I'm actually thinking to get one for my moose...he's very toddler-like and EVERYTHING has to go in his mouth. It's how he explores and I think it kee...

Um, how are these people not being arrested for identity fraud??? 5,300 employees fired over this so far?

I've read stories about how mares will give you their heart and soul once they bond with you. I hope this is true.

It is true...just takes a lot longer than with a gelding!

myleetlepony

My mare LOVED having her udders cleaned daily. I kept a pack of baby wipes (Aldi has them cheap!) and just made a wipe-down a part of our daily grooming routine. Wipe between the nipples, on each side of the udder, and under the tail and underside of tail. If you do it regularly, it's quick and easy...

I get Chicago local news on my Roku using the News On app. It streams channel 7. I also subscribe to Sling, which also live casts NBC and Fox, including their newscasts.

I've checked his midline and mane...also all over when grooming. Would sweet itch pop up as tail itching only? There is litetally nothing anywhere else.

myleetlepony

Definitely look into the Keramend, too. It's a beeswax base but you can mold it like playdoh to cover the resection area. Might be worth using in between White Lightening treatments for a 1-2 punch.

myleetlepony

I forgot to add above that I use Healthy Hair Care daily to brush his tail. I switched to the leave in thinking he might be dry, but I've never seen any flakiness. He's also on 3 cups of flax per day (1600 lb horse). Sweer Itch didn't cross my mind since I see no signs of it elsewhere, but it might ...

A client dealt with a milder case of white line that also included a resection. It's believed to have started because he was jabbing his toe on that side (front foot) due to how he was moving to compensate for a broken pelvis. That started a crack and it went downhill from there. One thing she used ...

I feel for you...I can't stand hearing people eat (unless it's something intentionally crunchy, like chips) or open mouth chewing. I'm probably harder than I should be about table manners with SO's son, but I've always felt this was a basic life skill. I generally sit with my back to the crowd in re...

BLM is not the first movement by black people but in and of itself it is rather new. I think they have a legitimate bone to pick. I don't know the exact numbers of justifiable/unjustifiable shootings are - and I doubt the true numbers are immediately available - but the videos that I have seen - th...

People REALLY REALLY need to educate themselves on what use of force is, what is acceptable, and when escalation is appropriate. I second and third this. The law as it applies to peace officers is different than non-peace officers. Peace officers do have a significant burden that goes along with ca...

myleetlepony

Regardless of that, there have been too many incidences of cops shooting black guys including way too many that were without any justifiable cause whatsoever that it easy to understand how they came to be. Actually, the majority WERE found to be justified. People REALLY REALLY need to educate thems...

What are your favorite tail rubbing remedies? I've dewormed twice since getting him in May, cleaned sheath (pulled out two LARGE beans), tried leave-in conditioner, Listerine, and regular washing (not all at the same time). He's now hairless at the top of his tail :( I'm not a fan of MTG since I'm u...

myleetlepony

Congratulations!

myleetlepony

I'm so sorry to hear. I was a fan of his even though I never got a chance to ride with him.

myleetlepony

lol. :lol: Okay so the crazy thing is that I typically ride 1 horse a day. I just run through breeches relatively quickly and most of them aren't real leather. I tend to either wear through the faux full seat in the crotch/thigh (they start to fuzz up) or The pants stretch out over time. Also, I al...

I'm thinking more and more that the issues this guy came with are trust based more than anything. At first, he REFUSED to pick up his hind feet, and required sedation to get him trimmed. I've continued to work on picking up the feet, using a rope if necessary, and now he knows that front foot goes u...

myleetlepony

Thank you, everyone! I finally was able to get on him yesterday! He is very inverted, has no forward and frankly he's unsure of his balance. I suspect that he's grown a bit in the past few months and he's still getting used to his mass. He also came with a Vit E deficiency first thought to be shiver...

About a month ago, I got a message from a friend that a horse she was riding occasionally needed a new home. His owner received job transfer papers and was to report for her new assignment in three weeks, with a follow up reassignment about six months later. She was concerned with finding him a good...

I've never made kabobs before and my first Butcher Box came in with grass-fed sirloin kabob meat. I'm loving the Butcher Box because I am stepping out of my comfort zone, however, the recipe card that came with it calls for a honey-sweetened marinade and well, I am pre-diabetic. So what are your fav...

I don't believe the horse is wearing glue-on shoes. It's normal shoes with these Italian bell boots: http://www.doversaddlery.com/italian-jumper-qrtr-bell-boot/p/X1-04254/?eid=X18A00U1000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=MerchantAdv&zmam=1460880&zmas=1&zmac=114&...

And heard on the radio this morning....police are reopening an investigation of the incident to determine any endangerment or neglect of the child. I'm wondering what cell phone pictures and videos are out there that the media doesn't know about because people were smart enough to go to the police a...

Happy Birthday!

I don't know if the mother was at fault. An onlooker made a statement that the mother was attentive to her child but had other children with her, and the child crawling into the enclosure and then falling happened in a matter of seconds. Hmm, now I've heard multiple reports that the mother was busy...

myleetlepony

Man, now I miss jumping again! Glad it went well...I love that they are using the polo horses. I think they are fantastic for beginners and re-riders!

myleetlepony

Wait, what? Polo was what that place was built for! Are the polo fields still there?

myleetlepony

That first picture is hilarious...like he's saying "you're going to do WHAT?!?!"

myleetlepony

Paula, that's AWESOME! I used to work for Dean and Tracy years ago in Barrington, and I'm sure they run a top rate barn. Maybe you should take a few polo lessons.... :mrgreen: And if you want to keep with the old school hunter princess theme, I have an old FLAT Crosby jumping saddle you're welcome t...

myleetlepony

Paula, where are you going to be riding?

myleetlepony

Chisamba said it best. I ride one horse who's bridle is a crank noseband (built into the crown piece so can't be replaced). I leave it so at least three fingers can be placed underneath and it's fine.

myleetlepony

If that is normal for her when she is on Dex, I would not worry about it. I've known a few horses that had odd scents when on meds or supplements, even non-stinky ones.

myleetlepony

Paula, what brand is that?

myleetlepony

I would look into learning Hanna Somatics for Equines, especially if there is a plethora of massage therapists in your area. One of my clients does Somatic work on horses and her most popular clients are the racehorse trainers.

myleetlepony

Paula, if you pass by her booth again, do you mind posting samples of her work if she's ok with it?

myleetlepony

I use Baucher bits a lot...ALWAYS with a straight noseband. Flashes are used to either stabilize a bit or clamp a jaw shut. A Baucher is extremely stable as the cheeks do not move independent of the mouthpiece.

myleetlepony

That turned out beautiful, Leo

A donk in suspenders...OH MY GAWD!!!! That is just awesome!

myleetlepony

I did not have good luck with them on my mare, and I found that they easily got dirty and muddy (I didn't think washing them off would be a good idea). I do believe that different repellent formulas work well or not depending on the variety of flies you are dealing with and the horse's own body chem...

myleetlepony

I've never heard of it...if you find out more would you mind posting about it?

myleetlepony

Are you sure she wasn't talking about Pentosan?

myleetlepony

I am struggling with this concept right now. I have started a new job with a no kill cat and dog shelter which I thought would be wonderful. Yesterday was my first day. Previously I have worked in the social services field. As I was being trained yesterday on the amount of veterinary services being...

myleetlepony

Thank you, everyone. I'm still taking things day-by-day. I had her for almost 20yrs, since she was 3 and I was 18. It is very strange to no longer be a horse owner and not have her be the driving force behind time schedules, budget, weather watching, etc. The hardest part is never being able to give...
