I have an Artic Cat 4 wheeler now and from the day I bought it 6 years ago it has been a pain to start and keep running. I think a side...

    We have priced fertilizer from a couple places. I am sure you all know how expensive it is. This is just mixed grass hay. ( Timothy, Orchard, Brome & ??) One place said we needed a ton of everything and priced at a fortune! This was from a soil sample a couple years back and we have spread...

    Horse getting caught in fence

    I have heard really good things about a product called "Underwoods" I think you can google it. It prevents proudflesh I believe. You still have him on Antibiotics right? They use SMZ's a lot for wound infections that you can dissolve in their feed.

    The things a horse can get hurt on, bad wound pic

    The vet hasn't looked at it at all?? Did your vet suggest a Tetnus shot? Can you cold hose it for the swelling? I personally would try Banamine for a few days because I think it seems to work better then Bute for certain things. Are the fly's staying away from the injury? If not, ask your vet...
