When Timmy was born, he gave new meaning to a foal down on his pasterns.
If I had listened to the in-house farrier at the university vet hospital, he would have had Timmy in some kind of braces and shoes and wraps and that freaked me out.
Thanks to Judy at Zachary Farms, we got him up and going in record time, with minerals and once a week trimmings. This was attributed to a selenium deficiency. So, I made sure that the mother of the next foal would have plenty of selenium so I got her the selenium shot, plus fed her selenium vitamin also. However, foal #2 was also down, but just a little bit.
This time the pregnant mothers are on a ration balancer (Born to Win) + Omolene 200 + beet pulp spread out during the day in 4 feedings + fescue free high quality orchard grass hay.
No other additives
I'm hoping that nobody will be down on their pasturns at all this time around.
