    Help!!! Is anyone up at this hour? Newborn foal eye problem

    Thanks for all of your posts. Sorry it's taken me so long to post an update. Conjunctivitis is exactly what the vet says it is. The eyelashes are not causing the problem. He said that the trauma from birth made the conjunctiva swell and push out from under the upper eyelid. Then, being...

    BIRDS!!!!!

    This year has been the worst for starlings nesting in the overhangs of my barn. Of course, the mess is unbearable since I like to keep my barn clean. Does anyone have suggestions of an inexpensive way to get rid of them? I have tried scouting them out and shooting them. I have put screens at...

    Show Halters - any with closed ring?

    I'm looking for a new show halter for our yearling colt and would like to get one with closed rings for more control and that he's less likely to "slip" out of. I know that there are Victory halters that have a closed ring. Do any of you know of any other brands/makers of show halters that...

    Here is the latest update. I have my vet and the girls in his office working with me. I drove by this morning to take pictures but he was inside his tiny, rundown shelter. Hopefully I will be able to get pictures after school today. I also noticed boards with nails sticking out of them in...

    horse abuse

    I like the picture idea. However, is there any legality complications such as an invasion of privacy by taking pictures at a private residence?

    I have been keeping my eye on a full size horse at a residence in whick I pass each day to and from work. It looks like it is not being fed properly and doesn't have the proper shelter.
