Well Thanks Heidi for posting the topic! I have learned a ton from reading the posts and have a list 2 post its long of things I need to research and buy! :-) One of you brillant horse people should put together a master list of all the products that you use, how to use them and for what...

What is the dose for the 5 day Safeguard trx.?

I think I would keep vigilant Heidi-the one mare that I have had foal has always done so during a storm. Usually at night but a storm is a storm and it might be Peanuts thing. By the way, she looked absolutely gorgeouse last night. She must have had her spa day...wish I cleaned up that good...

I have read some BAD things on the internet about the west nile vaccine causing some serious issues in pregnant mares. ANy experience with this?

How accurate is the blood test for pregnancies? I have asked my vet about it because one of my mares gets extremely stressed with teh US and they told me that it is not very accurate. What is your experience and any other alternatives to US to determine? She is tricky because we had her...

Thank you Marty and everyone else! I have looked at other feeds but am never sure of what to get and when my husband goes to TSC he always comes home with the SALE bags. We are thinking of ordering our feed from a feed mill to get exactly what we want in it. Any experience? The stallion can...

Heidi-I have missed a lot of posts lately but still watching the cam. Have you changed Peanuts stall partner again? Or are my eyes going bad? I am sorry that she is being a meany to you....we always take out our frustrations on the ones we love the most. I think a stern talking to her is in...

Thought some pics might help all of you understand what I am seeing.... This is the stallion that I am concerned about. And here is the yearling that I am concerned about...I need to make sure he gets what he needs. Does he look ok to you guys? ] Thank you for everything

Again thank you so much for all of the info. I do need to alter my original menu though,,,it felt like I was typing a story and I quit but realized that I left some things out. The stallion that is starting to look 'wrong' is the same one I posted on before about not being able to breed. I...

Thank you for all of your answers. I am still somewhat confused and need to reread and figure out where to start. it sure would be nice to be able to just follow the same regimen for all of them but that is not going to happen. I have 3 mare (2 that we are trying to breed) a yearling gelding...

Who put on the low alert alarm? I can't see anything on the cam except a huge ball of sunshine.

Just curious-I see that someone mentioned the AMHA closing the registry? WHy and when? Thanks

I do not breed to sell, actually I have yet to get a foal but am hopeful for 2012, but i am curious about the pedigree (what the sires and dams of my horses) look like. How do we go about finding them? Is there a way to search under registration numbers and see pics? Thanks

Well there has been alot of talk about protein and bellies, etc . I do not have any show horses (yet) but we do have 6 minis that we love and want to be as healthy as possible. 3 of the came to us very overweight as they were kept on very green pastures. We have since leaned them up to normal...
