I think you need to soak it. How about getting some extra hay nets and soaking the hay then hanging it to dry out of the sun but somewhere with decent air movement. She can then just take down a net

Since receiving my first hay analysis Friday i've connected with an ECIR-referred hay balancer in my area, posed the following question to her and she suggested this might be one for Dr. Kellon. When

I know it used to be there but I can't find the instructions on how to add a row in your case history. -- Rhillranch Stephanie and Traveler PPID IR Jan 2018 Harvard IL. Usa Tucker, Wilson ,Black

My mini did great after his trim on 8/17 and continues to do so. I added some post-trim pics to our album last week. I received the sugar and starch results on the 3 lots of hay that I have on hand

Ok, good. I'm guessing each capsule contains 1mg. 1 gm would be way too much. Just a suggestion....breaking the capsules apart sets you up for losing some of the drug. It also means that,unless she

Hi, Nancy and LeeAnne. Thanks for all you do, btw. For the first time ever, Cayuse's leptin tested normal and she's compensated IR. That's the CH I'm working on. It would never have happened without

The pasture could be an issue if she has high insulin. If she doesn't, it's a matter of balancing minerals to pasture analysis instead of hay during those months. Until you can get her tested, at

Hi Lavinia, Did you ever get a chance to review Dancer's photo's I posted? I know you're busy, but the farrier is coming Sept 3rd for her next trim and I thought I would give you a little heads up.

Hi Lorna Geeze ... I must mean mg. They made powder in capsules. Each cap has 1gm (I guess). It’s at the barn or I’d look. They’re very small and hard to pull apart to empty in mash. -- Pat

What about her being out on pasture 24/7 she can’t be stalled up do to high stress separation anxiety and being prone to colic from said stress. The pasture is maintained and kept cut pretty short

I didn't see a sugar and starch analysis for the Hygain so would stop that. Could replace with Maxisoy. Definitely stop the barley. You shouldn't need the lupins. Replace lucerne with plain Teff. --

If you tell us where you are, hooking up with other members can also have big benefit for buying hay lots together, alternative storage sites, working with local hay suppliers to hold/store XXX amount

Even if she's not IR, your mare is a poster child for a diet that badly needs to be balanced. Until you can get a hay analysis I would suggest: Stop all grain and Remission Start flax (or Uckele

We'll be looking into this going forward as we work out a new CH form but for now, Cass, would be great if you can keep everything. I have a pipe dream that I 'll collect and compile hay anals from

I board as well. I have them soak the hay and then rinse it -- Rebecca and JJ St Louis Aug 6, 2018 Case History JJ's Photos Ω

Hi Dyane, Not sure I’ve solved the problem completely. But it sounds promising. Glad your bronco turned into a great trail companion. Karin & Inky Forest, VA IR/Cushing's July

Hi New to this group and do find it a little hard to navigate I have a 2005 model Arabian x QH mare. I bred her and I've had a history with her of with laminitis in the last few years. As a young

Go with the 10 day interval. I don't know where that 30 to 60 days to full effect came from. There are similar comments out there about pergolide but there's really no detailed data to back it up as

Hi Cass, I believe the idea is to keep all hay analysis in the files for research purposes. Nancy is this still the case? Yes keep everything (feed, hay type, amounts, blood work etc) you ever

Just a quick reply before I head out for a ride. I read your first post about your horse having laminitis. I assume that you and/or your vet believe your horse is IR? Your next step should be to
