    2024 Hours Driven

    I don't know what to think about the cause really. It does seem to be a newer malady, I never heard of horses having this 50 years ago. Or maybe they did and we didn't notice, but I think it would've be noticable. I wonder about the vaccines too. There are so many to give now, and every few...

    2024 Hours Driven

    The EOTHR (I always get the letters out of order!) is a mean thing. I didn't know much about it until it happened to Oatie. The roots get huge and bulbous causing pain. Oatie seems so much happier with the teeth out, of course he's still on some banamine but he's chewing great and is feeling...

    2024 Hours Driven

    Billy is a smart boy to stay away from politics 😁 ! 1.5 hours ground driving Peanut this week. My Cappy and Oatie both had teeth out this week, it's been awfully stressful. Cappy had a recurring sinus infection from a root and had to go to Tuft's university for surgery. Then when he...

    Calming Paste For Mini

    He looks like a smart one! He'll catch on to the idea of clipping quickly I bet. My three actually enjoy being clipped now. We make a big deal out of it, lots of love and pampering. I clip slow cause I have bad hands so I give them a break and do it in sections. He's gonna do fine!

    Calming Paste For Mini

    Hi Guy, I've never found the calming supplements to work. Have you tried any desensitization with the clippers? If you spend some time rubbing the clippers over them (while they are not running) until they are comfortable with it and then slowly introducing the running clippers, they usually...

    Allergic reactions

    My welsh pony is 500 lbs. 5 citerizine pills once a day work well on his hives.

    Seeking ulcer treatment advice

    If you can get Purina Outlast in your area it works well for ulcer prevention once they are under control. My mini gets 1/3 measuring cup twice a day. It can be given 3 times a day if needed. It also comes in a bags of 2 sizes, the smaller one is about 10 lbs and lasts me about 6 weeks. Costs...

    Grooming question

    If it's just for a day or so, like a photo shoot, I've had good luck with baby oil.

    Walking/Hiking with your minis 2024

    Walked about an hour with Oatie this week, it's a guess. I'll have to keep better track.

    Driving Discussion 2024

    Thanks! We are all a work in progress, lol. Hubby and Mom go for tests in a few weeks and my mini Cappy goes to Tufts for a CT scan of his head on the 22nd. His sinus infections returned and he may have a fistula from between a tooth or his gums up in to his sinus. And I get my back injected...

    Driving Discussion 2024

    Well, I've been doing a little ground driving over the winter, just enough to be able to enter some online classes "Walk Only" dressage classes to alleviate the boredom. Some days it's just throw the harness on and video between the rain storms and crumby weather, but we get it done. Sometime...

    2024 Hours Driven

    Well I've been ground driving Peanut occasionally and hand walking Oatie practicing our "Walk Only" dressage tests for the month. Probably about 2 hours total for April. I have to start keeping track better but things have been hectic here and I just plumb run out of gumption :D !

    Billy

    They look long but not long enough to take 1 1/2 inches. That seems like a lot of hoof to remove. Even for a big horse that seems like a lot of hoof. Do you have any pictures of his foot from the side, on the ground? He's looking pretty darn cute in those ears!

    Hoof abscess or laminitis?

    Ouch! Bet she feels better now!
