I would like to see some pics too.... I also have a large horse trailer that I would love to convert...

So if I soaked them overnight approx 8 hrs if I'm lucky then that should probably be fine then! Thanks guys I thought it would be but wanted some more thoughts!

how long can you soak alfalfa cubes before they would be considered no longer any good "fermented" or whatever? I am only wondering because I am thinking about soaking them overnight (at room temperature). Would that be to long?... Right now I am just feeding the soaked cubes in the evening (I...

At the time I read that MSG my emotions were so raw I think my feelings could have been hurt no matter what! lol so I apologize for taking offense where none was meant! Thank you for your kind words and prayers! They are greatly appreciated. Omg! I can't believe a vet said that to you when you...

As of right now the remaining seem fine. Yesterday we took everyone to a new highly recommended large animal vet to get established with another practice in case we have an emergency where we might have to call someone out. They seem really good and helpful. We learned a lot there in just the...

Thanks for the ideas! I have been given so many helpful things/ideas to discuss with my vet on this thread and I appreciate it greatly! I will defiantly be continuing to converse with my vet on this topic just to keep my other horses safe. So any and all thoughts and suggestions are greatly...

Oh I agree there are some wonderful vets out there. In all honesty our vet use to be one (he was very proactive & involved & helpful). The past year or two though he really has just dropped the ball so to speak. It's almost like he no longer wants to be involved with the large animal part of his...

Thank you. I did think about feed. While everyone was on the same feed. I looked for a recall and did not see anything , however I'm not taking any chances so its all going in the trash, but its a good thought to have it analyzed I will look into that before tossing the whole lot!

Not to be rude (my emotions are raw), I appreciate your sympathy, but did you miss the part where I said I was at the vet 3 times in the span of a week? AND there were multiple calls to the vet where I was ready to have him up or take my horses to him at a moments notice and well HE thought they...

******I am aggravated with my vet Dr. Taylor, but I do understand that he is only a mere mortal man and not a magician. The thing is that we were there three different times over the coarse of this whole thing and multiple phone calls and with each visit we were treated like "pesky flies" and...

Oh guys... I love you all. Why would any of you think a vet would have not already been involved? - a vet was called all horses saw a vet three times over the course of when colic symptoms started (11/21/12) and also as the symptoms got worse it was back to the vet and each time it was the same...

Equine Illness Original post: Calling all vets: What equine illness starts off with colic like symptoms then gets worse with the horse losing body function (urination & pooping). No eating, drinking... Very lethargic and mopey, but still have good color (wet pink gums & white eyes)... What...

I honestly think that kids lead by example so in my honest opinion (and it will probably be unpopular, but that is okay) adults should have to wear helmets too in ALL driving classes. So while I would say it should be mandatory for EVERYONE to wear a helmet in ALL driving classes regardless of...

I believe I agree with all of the above as well. It was just a shock because even my most aggressive mare does not get half as live when re-establishing her position with the herd as the Stallion got towards the gelding. I guess I am trying to decide if I should give it all another try or just...

I have had horses in my life for a long time big horses and in the last six years just minis. Now with my big horses they all ran together stallion, mares and geldings. No issues. In that setting everyone got along fine. Now with my minis I have never had a gelding till this year (and he is a...
