Hi, I was wondering if you got any good info from the eye specialist. My stallion had the exact same thing happen --no visible marks to the eye, no signs of fever, inflammation, his eyes are fine, but all of a sudden he can't see. I had the vet out but she didn't tell us much, just that he...

We have a beautiful stallion from the buckeroo line who seems to have lost his sight. We are not sure if he hurt himself or this is something that has happened over time. We just noticed that he started freaking out in his stall at night and banging around and hollering all night long. We just...

I was wondering if anyone had really good info on feeding haylege to miniatures. We have a mixture of swedish warmbloods, throughbreds, standardbreds, and 9 miniatures so having lots of good hay is essential. We have the opportunity to get some really good haylege - it is actually beautiful hay...

I was wondering if it is common for a Mom to pass on colic problems. I have had one mare who has had two beautiful colts, one who would have been two this week but recently passed away. The owners found him dead in his stall in the morning. They said he was fine that evening when they checked on...

Hi, Since I just dealt with my first colic(thank heavens successfully) I am trying to get all the ideas I can now. I did not know to give warm water to my horse. How much water do you give? I would appreciate any help I can get. Thanks. Lynn in Nova Scotia

I found my 6 month old pinto colt Rocky in minor distress yesterday morning in his stall. When I let him out he immediately wasn't himself and tried to lie down so right away I knew something was wrong. He was still walking a bit and looked pretty alert. To make a long story short, I listened to...

Hi, I thought that oats had a lot of natural oil in them? Am I wrong to think this? I didn't think that you would have to add oil, but it would be an important thing to get right. My horses get lots of pasture and hay so I don't need anything except minerals right now but in the winter I would...

Hi, Thank you very much for the information. We have given our horses hay pellets but not beet pulp but I think it is a great idea. I know beet pulp is really good for them. Thanks again for responding. Lynn

I am wondering if someone could help me determine whether I should switch my miniatures to oats from a Purina feed called Equalizer (minerals). Or should I give them a combination. Equalizer is low in fat and protein and I just give them a little in the morning. I just seem to see everywhere...

Hi, Thanks. I already know about these halters as my vet is a distributor. I am sure that they do work and i might try them one of these days. thank you very much. Lynn

Hi, Thank you for all your information and help. Sounds like you did a lot of work with your horse. Good for you -he is a lucky horse to have you! You gave me some great advice too and I really appreciate it. I will use it and hopefully I can get Bria over this food aggression. I think she also...

Hi Andrea, Thank you so much for your helpful advice. I am going to do what you said and I feel confident that it will change Bria's behaviour. Her filly is really beautiful and sweet (I am having trouble putting a picture on because we are on dial up out here in the country!) and I don't want...

Hi, Thank you for your reply. Bria really hasn't become more aggressive since she was bred but I think it is just a food thing. As far as her registration, I bought her unregistered and had to hunt down her papers but have them now and am in the process of sending them off. Her sire's name was...

I own a 5 year old mare who has a 2 month old filly who is getting more and more aggressive. She was somewhat aggressive before she had the foal and before she was pregnant but really only when you go to put hay in her feeder she is in her stall at the time. I did not own this mare originally...
