Hello Lavinia, I hope this finds you well and doing well!! I would be grateful for any recommendations you could offer to tweak my trimming job of the hinds. Her left loin is always sore.

Karen, I'm so sorry that you had to say goodbye to Haydon. May your happy memories of him sustain you during this sorrowful time. R.I.P. Haydon Josie Davis CA 06/09

Kare, I'm so sorry for your loss. Although not easy, it sounds like you made the right and only choice for your boy given the circumstances. Fly free, Haydon. Blue skies and green grass forever. --

If the horses are/might be IR/PPID, you can create an album in the Photos section of the case history sub-group yourself and upload photos there. Since you already have the case histories for them,

Susan, I added some birds eye to my pipe corrals over the existing compacted footing. I also have crusher run in parts of my turnouts where I need to supply traction during muddy weather. Larger

I'm terribly sorry Karen. It's a heartbreaking thing to do, but the kindest choice. There isn't really anything I can say to make it any better. Thank you for being such a loving and good steward

Oh Karen, I'm so sorry for your loss. You did everything you could for Haydon and then made the hardest decision we have to make. I'm glad it was peaceful for him, but I know how much it hurts.

Hi all I am writing this with a heavy heart - Haydon was laid to rest two days ago. The infection had gone into the navilcular, coffin bone and tendon sheath. He had not responded to any treatments

Hi Lavinia, Sorry - I had forgotten to set up my signature for this group. I've already posted case histories. There have been a few changes to their diet in the last 2 months that I need to update

Hi Susan, For the horses' feet, the best thing to use is 4"-6" of 3/8" pea stone. Generally, horses' feet will adapt to whatever footing they spend the most time on. That they get tender footed points

I'd like a recommendation on the type of gravel that I should top my turn out paddock with. There is already a 1 foot base that had some bigger pieces of stone in it and some finer gravel. Most of it

Thanks, Lavinia. I know there's no one answer and agree completely with what you're saying. Devils Claw+Boswellia provided such dramatic relief within 4 days that it turned this skeptic into a

Hi Kathy, The fact that you're seeing a difference in the muscling between her two legs plus the lameness would be a good indication to me that it's time to get the vet involved - even if it's just a

Hi Cass, What the injury might be is going to depend on what she was doing when she happened to remove the shoe: stepped on it from behind? by the opposing foot? twisted it off during a spinning move?

I'm aware that cellulitis can return & become even chronic so far that's not the case here. What I was interested in knowing is if the swelling from cellulitis could cause unknown damage to the hock,

Years ago one of my horses pulled a shoe and she injured a collateral ligament on the inside of her fetlock/pastern area, front leg. I had her checked by my favorite "leg" vet. She recovered just

I should have mentioned the swelling/filling is reduced except for on the lateral side right above the quarters. -- Cass, Sonoma Co., CA 2012 ECIR Group Moderator Cayuse Case History

Does anyone know of a predictable soft tissue injury from a horse pulling off a glue on shoe? I didn't see the act. On May 15th, my Diamond pulled a new to us glue-on shoe, the Easyshoe Compete, with
