i can see where if there was a large amount of clippings it could cause a problem, especielly if the horse had not been on grass, but this was a very minute amount of clippings, the horse had been on grass all summer with the exception of the last 2 days, and i don't think there was any foreign...

these were just fresh cut, only a few minutes old and the horse had been on grass all summer with the exception of the last 2 days, so they were not fermented.

sunday i mowed our yard, and blew a little bit of burmuda grass clippings into a small pen we have with a yrlg gelding in it. he immediatly came over and started eating the fresh grass clippings. well the next day he was blowing diareea, (which was monday) we treated him for it, but tue. he...

last night we had our last baby for this year. 20 fillies and 8 colts!!! now it's time to wean babies and start showing them!!! i believe this is the best overall foal crop we've ever had!!!

one of my favorites is PLAIN OLD FRESH GREEN GRASS, it works every time for me, i don't think i've ever had a horse refuse it. (can't find it) i hear---- you may have to walk a ways to find some around an arena, but it's there somewhere.

at Rocking M Farm, we very seldom show a weanling that has not been weaned. but we do show tons of babies that we have just weaned at 3 mo. old and we very seldom have a problem, even if they have been weaned only a week before the show. BUT we always put at least 2 weanlings together in...
