Re: Balancer needed
clbroyles55
I can't speak for all the other balancers, but I don't monitor all the messages on the main list. I just try to keep up with the highlights, and that could be days after they are posted.
If you need a balancer, contact someone directly on the list. You are more likely to get help faster that way. Carol B. SW Ohio August 2007

Re: California Trace Plus
bigwhitevan2002
I have used Cal Trace for years when I could not keep a large amount of hay to test, its better in the trace minerals then anything commercially produced, my PPID, IR horses did fine with it, and it was pretty cost effective, I did notice a difference in using the Cal Trace over a commercial supplement. I am back to a custom mix again but wouldn't hesitate to go back to cal trace if i needed to I live in Oregon and feed local hays.It balances them pretty well Julie Oregon 06 ---In EquineCushings@..., <cbernstein@...> wrote : I suggest you contact California Trace directly to ask Sally Hugg the question.

It could have to do with IR, yes. That needs to be ruled out first of course! :)

Re: Update on Dixie and Dexter...need help with depressed mule!
This brings me to a question that has been haunting me for some time. I have read that vasoconstriction and reduced blood flow to the capillaries inside the hoof is an adaptation to the cold to protect the hooves. 1. Is this correct? and then
2. are we causing too much heat loss by keeping the blood vessels dilated by using Jiaogulan and therefore potentially causing more harm? Especially when horses are standing in deep snow all day. Just wondering. Claudia Ohio NRC 1108 NAT 2010 (?)

Re: Reposting: Chaste Tree Berry Powder Dosing for Overly Marish Behavior
Hi Sally
99 percent sure you want to dose to effect. From Dr Kellon in this fist message Most owners here with proven cases have used at least 1 oz of the dried powder/day. Dose for the liquid in my trial was 10 mL/200 lbs body weight and the UK trial titrated upward from that to effect, using as much as 120 mL/day. /128825https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/EquineCushings/conversations/messages/173039 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/EquineCushings/conversations/messages/119160 https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/EquineCushings/conversations/messages More threads within the above threads.

Is this joint supplement safe for IR horses?
Does anybody know if the supplement "OCD Pellets" is safe for IR horses? A friend of mine with an elderly horse with arthritis is raving about it. Would like to try on my older IR horse but not sure if it's safe. Thank you, Jennifer Fleet & Shahtahr Clovis, CA Joined 2012 OCD Pellets (Optimal Cartilage Development)

Re: California Trace Plus
I suggest you contact California Trace directly to ask Sally Hugg the question. She's very responsive to questions. I've never seen ESC + Starch on California Trace Plus and would like to know the answer myself.
FWIW, Uckele Equine's U-Balance Foundation is an alternative that covers not only trace minerals but also major minerals. It's palatable, at least to my non-picky mares who ate it right out of my hand. It's comparable in cost to California Trace Plus. http://equine.uckele.com/u-balance-foundation.html If you ask an ECIR balancer to look at your hay analysis and factor in U-Balalnce Foundation, you might find that it's a good fit with minimal tweaking.
I trial-balanced a couple of my orchard grass hays using U-Balance Foundation fed at one ounce per day. It did a reasonable job of balancing horses from 850 lbs to 1100 pounds. You will still want to add a few things for tightly balanced minerals. How far it is from ideal will depend on your hay.

Hi... I posted this question a bit ago on ECHorsekeeping, and was asked to submit it here instead. Hoping for a reply as I have read that CTB can be helpful for extreme Estrus behavior.
Thanks very much, Sally in N. AZ April 2013

Re: Update on Dixie and Dexter...need help with depressed mule!
It could have to do with the insulin resistance if the cold is causing painful reduced blood flow to his feet related to high vasoconstriction or previous vascular damage from the IR.

Re: Bermuda plus pellets from mnt sunrise
And this nutrition manager's experience with how many IR/PPID horses is ???
The problem here is not the molasses level per se but the overall sugar and starch which in the posted analysis is too high for some IR/PPID horses. It is also only a spot analysis and other batches could be higher. No guarantees from the company that this is a ceiling. Mineral levels will also vary from batch to batch, no guarantees. If you think this company can guarantee safety of each batch (sugar and starch) as well as correctly balanced minerals in each batch, invite them to post here with the details. They could pick up a lot of business! Eleanor in PA www.drkellon.com

California Trace Plus
Stephanie Stout
Hi All, I just did a search on this, and didn't get much(but it might be the operator here). Does anyone here use CA Trace Plus for their IR & PPID horse? Is CA Trace Plus safe for IR(with previous rotation)? I know that the hay needs to be balanced, but wondering if it will at least help since I don't have the finances(lots and lots of vet bills) to have someone balance it right now. King's currently getting R/S/R beet pulp, some soaked ODTB cubes, and flax/salt plus low sugar/starch grass hay. Cushings controlled with 4.5mg of Pergolide and IR was tested last within the 'normal' range from Cornell. Stephanie Oregon Oct 2014

Thank you Jennifer in Germany, He does have a mammoth Jenny for a buddy and she is a pistol but they haven't been as active as usual. Our weather is cold again...3 degrees. I think I will halter him and play some games....just to give him something to do! I was just wondering if it had anything to do with the insulin resistance. Thank so much, Jacque White in Alaska

Re: Bermuda plus pellets from mnt sunrise
lj friedman
I called mountain sunrise and spoke with the nutrition manager. Again he is strongly suggesting the Bermuda pellets for horses with cushings . He does agree there is molasses but it is only as a carrier for the vitamin supplements and the molasses content is one half pound per ton of pellets. LJ Friedman San Diego 2014

Hi Nancy,
Yes, I have had my minerals balanced to my hay. Kathleen did that for me. Maybe I should just check with her to see what she recommends. Thanks a bunch, Rita ---In EquineCushings@..., <threecatfarm@...> wrote : Hi Rita I don't think Is saw that you were balancing the minerals to your tested hay.

They also add iron, in addition to what may already be in the hay, and iron is not included in the analysis at all.
