    Dystocia Question

    I inquired on a mare that I am very interested in. However, the seller told me that she had a dystocia a few years ago. He hasn't been able to get her in foal. She had no problems foaling before the dystocia. She has a to-die-for pedigree and she's the most gorgeous black mare I've ever...

    Coughing and sneezing

    My mare has been coughing and sneezing every morning. She does it for at least 10 minutes. And its a harsh, loud cough followed by a sneeze. The mare in the stall next to her is shedding out really bad...could it be from hair? Its been windy here. I am body clipping the rest of them today...
