Equimins Advanced Concentrate Metabalance formula 2 is iron free and formulated for UK forages with input from graduates of my NRC Plus nutrition course. Until you can get a hay analysis, that's what

I would strongly suggest you titer first. A horse with a titer of over 1:1600 should not be vaccinated because of risk of severe reaction. This titer is also considered protective so no vaccination is

I just got the Low Starch feed by Triple Crown. The TB can hardly walk this morning. Now he is getting the Low Starch as well to be sure his diet is ok. I am soaking timothy hay cubes. What should

If she wasn't fasted, those results are reliable. They look like fasting numbers though and if that's the case you need to repeat without fasting. There are some IR mares who experience problems with

Hi Lisa It sounds like you have started Carl on pergolide only recently? Some horses are more sensitive (especially when starting it) than others. Have you read Pergolide

I'd stop it, get the APF on board as soon as you get it, 8 mL. You're not supposed to cut the Prascend in quarters so get a prescription for 0.25 mg capsules. Only order a small number. You can always

D&H 'Daily Vits&Mins' has 2000mg/kg iron, which would make it a bad choice in my book. Formula4Feet is alfalfa based, which might be a problem too. Jennifer in Germany Laramie July 2011

Hi Zoe, I imagine you saw Jaini's reply? Message 171448. I'll let the hoof people speak to her feet,but the other thing is Jaini's suggestion about mare's and their cycling.It's possible this is

Hi Zoe, I should have just gone to bed last night instead of speaking up. I have just now got your numbers,too,although I also managed to have 2 other different results with the calculator. I

I would keep him on the emergency diet until you get your hay tested, and then balance to the hay. Did you read the files section here? :) Jennifer in Germany Laramie July 2011

Hi Lorna, I punched these numbers into the IR calculator and the ratio for me came back as 31.80 where 10 and above is normal. Did I do this wrong or am I using the incorrect units or something? I

Lisa, I don't have anyone with Cushings yet, but I have read others' experience with the "pergolide veil" and I think some take the dose way down to tiny amounts and build up very slowly along with

Hi pony addict, The main thing is to look for waterproof/breathable. That way rain or snow won't soak thru and if it is a little warmer, it will breath a little. Cool fall weather may only need a
