Hi does anyone know when the seasonal rise should be for N. Ca?  I know it varies from hemisphere to hemisphere.  I would like to get one more draw in around the end of August.  Thanks

Hi, Maybe a strange question, but how old need the hay to be before getting tested ? need to be resting for about 8 weeks first ? Or can you test the hay right away ? Greetings, Zonne

So it sounds like even without the effects of PPID creeping in that IR could worsen to the point of trouble simply as the horse ages, assuming they are the IR type and are not grossly mismanaged to

Ah, ha! Thanks Linda. I wondered about that but I figured since the DE was expressed in Mcal/lb that the horse's weight should be expressed in pounds as well. Diane - MI 2003

I have a huge bag of Horsetech minerals. Probably three month's left of it. I read one of Dr. Kellon's posts here about them smelling like varnish when the flax base goes bad from getting too

Now most horses would be thrilled with 37 pounds! I'm sure the value should be in Kgs and not pounds, so if your horse is 1000 pounds, he would be 454 Kgs. Linda EC Primary Response West Coast May

This is of interest to me as well but I am not sure I am understanding this other formula. If you take an example of say a horse that weighs 1100 but should weigh 1000 the hay amounts by the various

Laura,can you link to your CH? I didn't realize P. was having lameness issues. Sorry,I've missed something. Is it navicular? Lorna in Ontario,Canada ECIR Moderator 2002 *See What Works in Equine

I am currently adding Move-ease to Pabatsa's ration in the evening. He is getting an IV (Drip) of Tildren this week. Does the Move-Ease interfere in any way? Laura Mollrich Laguna Beach,CA 1/2012

Hi Jean, Fasting results won't give you a true picture of where she stands.She isn't fasted normally,and you want to see how her body is responding to her normal feeding arrangements. Fasting is

Im having a new vet come out and do ACTH bloodwork on Lady in a few weeks to confirm the results of increase Prascend to 1.5mg. They said to fast her, but I know that this group recommends not

So...after my last vet visit for sping shots and my horse Melody being in the uncompensated range but not nearly as bad as she was before her 2 mg of pergolide, I made the mistake of letting her graze

I have a similar question. When my farrier comes next time, he asked me if I would consider giving my old guy some Bute before he trims, as Velvet has ringbone in his left front and arthritis in his

Ok. So Malika's doing great. Trim every 3 weeks. Diet totally controlled...soaked hay and ODTBC cubes. Weight good, no crest, not at all lame in boots..wears EasyBoot trails with pads and free

Hi Linda - Have had a chance to put a couple of markups in your

I have a 22 y.o. PPID mare with thin soles and ringbone in one front foot. She is not IR. She's been on 1 gram of pergolide for about a month and a low-glucosomine joint supplement for a year. A

Yes, that would work I think. Four hours from his breakfast but while on hay and turn out. It should give you an accurate read of what he's eating. Just so you know, the grass, even with a muzzle,

Hi Nancy-- Thanks so much for the quick and thorough response. I will do the tests you recommend. My next question is timing and prep. Would it be wrong to allow Cory to have his normal morning
