I loved them when I had them, but unfortunately the winter took it's toll on them and they both caved in from heavy snow...actually they've done that every year for the past 3 years. I finally gave up and let the horses roam in and out of the stall on their own so they can go in there for...
I've used the double-blanket idea too. Fleece underneath another blanket seems to work well. I've always been a big advocate of "stuffing" them with hay when they're cold. The digestion process works the best at warming them up from the inside. Sounds like you've already done what you can to...
Just thought I would mention this...my sister's horse was "scared" of the blanket because it actually hurt...the static electricity was causing him to continually get "shocked" when the blanket moves around and especially when it's taken off. It took a while to figure it out, but it made...

I figured someone would have to say that after I re-read what I wrote. He was a very nice man and a great vet, and I'm sure he will be very missed by his family. Any end to life is sad. Don't automatically assume the worst of someone by a single post or a subject line! :arg! :arg! :frusty...
I'm so devastated! I called to make an appt. with my vet yesterday and found out from his wife that he died of a heart attack (while working on a horse of all things) back in March. I only use a vet for emergencies and surgeries, so I haven't spoken to him for about a year. Thank goodness I...
