    Feral Rescue in Foal

    Take a t-shirt or hat that you have worn a lot and hang it in her stall. It needs to be one you have worn for some time so it has your scent on it. This will really help her get used to you.....just leave it hanging there for a couple months. I also like to sit with them while they eat their...

    Eye problem--at wit's end

    I love Vetericin Eye Wash and use it any time my horses have eye issues and I also use it on any cuts, scrapes, etc. Not sure if it will help your problem but it is worth a try if you haven't already done so.....

    Is anyone here camera savvy?

    Mine did the same thing, but it was still under warranty and they replaced it. I think you will like the Canon better anyway.....
