I've got a friend that has a couple cows and a horse, the other day I went by his house and his cows were gathered around a bale of sudan hay and his horse was right in there too. I've heard sudan is not good for horses and I told him that but for the life of me I couldn't remember why.

Have you checked his wolf teeth? Sometimes that will cause one to sling their head? Just a thought? Maybe it's been covered already. I've been absent from the boards lately and might have missed it but it's the first thing that popped into my head while scanning thru all this and trying to get...

Not sure about its use on horses but I had an old dog one time that got down and was bad sick. Couldn't get up on his own and I was sure he was all but dead. Hit him with a dose of LA200 and that afternoon he was gone. Not dead but gone. I searched the surrounding pastures for his body but never...

I've gone about it a few different ways, from leaving a halter and lead rope on them in a pen and let them drag it around a week or so, to just tieing them up and letting them fight it out, but what I found on my last mare I did, was to get her used to wearing a halter first, then put some...

Till up the area about 4-6 inches deep, dump some lime or portland cement on top and re-till, mixing it up real good. Wet it, pack it and let it dry. Both lime and cement stabilized bases work good for road beds and this is basically how it is achieved. After you mix & pack it, it will be lower...

I'd talk to your vet about it if you already haven't.

I've got a mare that has some Peppy San Badger in her background, actually her name is Vigorous Peppy :shock: ,which would lead you to think she is fiesty but she ain't. She is a good cow horse though, and will probably end up being my little girls horse in a few years. I will have to say this...

I might have posted this question before but I'll ask it again. I have a mare that is a very easy keeper. In fact she is overweight prety bad. She is on pasture grass only. I plan on the next few weeks and months to get her back into riding shape and start using her again. I know starting and...

First thing I noticed about him too. :shock:

I'm assuming your farrier is one that you have used before and is good at it, if so, then I'd just chalk it up to uncoordination and laziness. Kind of like the big tall lanky kid back in school that grew real fast but it took him a year or two to get accustomed to it. Practice him slow and...

I posted this question about cattle so I'll ask it about horses too. How long should you keep the mare and colt separated before allowing them back together in the same pasture?

to wean your colts? With cattle it seems to be about the same for everybody. I was just wondering what your thoughts were on horses. :D

I think this problem is being made out to be harder to fix than it really is. Getting into a "who's stronger" contest is in my opinion the wrong approach. The more you try and restrain a 1000 .lb animal, with enormous power, you can get yourself into trouble. Yeah sometimes it just comes down to...

How old is she? Did she just start this or has she always set back? I assume she is halter broke?? How about to ride? What is causing her to set back? (fear of ??) Horses are a fight or flight animal, which you probably already knew, but when a horse feels threatened they either stay and...

The key is to keep the hooves clean of manure, not so much mud. I've heard it said that rusty hoof picks cause thrush, :o meaning they are not used enough. The thrush bacteria is anerobic, meaning that the presence of good old oxygen kills it. Kopertox is good for thrush but be careful because...

I have a mare that foaled back in March. She has always been an extremely easy keeper and I was just wondering when I should start working her to pull some weight off of her? I know I have to start out slow. It just seems like towards the end of pregnacy she got real big but after the colt she...

I thought I was the only one that knew about that... ;-)

Skinny? :???: ..................Ok whatever you say????? :? Interresting pony you got there. I like her. :nod:

I just sold a stud colt at the Stephenville horse sale. Got 775 for him. He was registered but I sold him as not registered (don't ask long story) and a 3 yr old. Broke as they come and ready to go to work. There were a few that went pretty high, 3400 is the highest I remember. The young...

I picked up a mare w/ about a month old colt the other day. I 'm not sure when she was wormed last, but I was told it's been 6 months or better. Should I just worm her now or wait for the colt to grow some? Will it hurt him to do it now? The mare is healthy. She eats good, not under weight, has...
