I was talking to my barn owner tonight about Mona's diet and how it was going and she commented that since we are going to be dropping something like 30-40 degrees tomorrow night, she will be feeding

Thanks Linda. Okay, I think I finally got my history posted - Stephanie Kansas is the file name and horse is Mona. It's in wordperfect as I don't have Word right now and Acrobat acted up when I tried

Hi Jaini, Sorry I missed this post earlier. No, I just buy it online and they ship it via USPS mail, takes about 10 days. This is the first I've heard of that. I know that shipping ALCAR to Canada

Please excuse this off-topic post, but I do not know where else to turn. I joined this list because of one of my two horses that has developed Cushings. Now I turn to it because I do not know where

I think most of us here absolutely agree with that,Marian. And I suspect that the negativity that surfaces from time to time is somewhat icegerg-like. There's a lot more where that came from,but we do
