Terrible at searches

I am trying to find something I saw somewhere that can guide me to determine what work level (light work, moderate work, etc) and the feeding guide for this. I am certain I have seen this somewhere.

Re: Administering Prascend

I had horses that refused to eat the pill. I bought gel capsules size 1 from Amazon and placed the pill in there. I could just toss the pill in their feed and never had a problem with it. I highly

Re: Any experience with Mare Magic?

Just a quick note. I used to get Starwest raspberry leaf on Amazon which was way more economical than Mare Magic. I used a one oz scoop for the Starwest Raspberry Leaf for my mare. Starwest

Re: OK to let Quest walk around?

Hi, Carly. I don’t think rotation or sinking causes heat in the hooves. Or at least it didn’t for my laminitic mare. Jiaogulan is supposed to enhance circulation, so it should make the hooves

Re: Vinnie update - Jan 2023- Ertugliflozin day 2

Hi Toni, You will get a full welcome message shortly, but an insulin test is done to diagnose IR, not PPID. Did you have ACTH tested? If so, do you know the results? That's the test you need to
