I used boots with thick pads inserted , 24-7 for a couple months (cleaned often, with foot powder to avoid fungus). I haven’t read back far enough to know if you’ve tried this, just throwing it out th

Thanks for the support. I will remember your words the next time someone questions me. And the next time... and the next time.... (-:

I see - I named it wrong. the 09-26 is meant to be 10-26. Will rename or upload.

Ah! I think I had read under guidelines on exercise somewhere that anything under 30 mins with no sweat didn't count. I was probably misinterpreting it - I get now that it doesn't count as exercise fr

I've got her on tested hay, with amino trace + and j-herb, flax, salt. Regardless of her tests, I intend to keep her on this diet and no grazing. Forever. (-:

Thanks! Good to know. I don't mind not doing a lot of exercise but other people sure worry about it. I think I will have 10 mins of hand walking, ten mins of riding (just so she doesn't forget) and no

Hello, Will saw vet for second time on Oct 4 and vet says laminitic episode has passed. Took x-rays, these are posted in her album. We see a slight rotation. Vet took blood tests; results are in the O

Vet on Saturday says episode is over, recovery was quick. Evidence of previous episode about 8 months ago. (While at different barn, wearing shoes, in January, with no grazing, lameness not detected a

Ok, I am beginning to understand. The appointment today was to check her feet with the possibility of an IR test. I will ask that we do not do the IR test today. She is on full board some distance fro

Where are you buying the Ontario Dehy product in BC and... is it the one called "balance"? Thanks!!

I'm pretty far away. I can ask that she just be given half a flake (2-3 lbs) and no beet pulp or supps and that she is fed promptly at 7. Would that help?

Hello, Feeding: I have Willow at her new barn. She is having about 19-20 pounds of tested hay. (3.5 flakes, assuming average weight of 5.5). 3 flakes straight and one half in a hay ball. I've asked fo

I don't recall the brand. Where I bought it had the original ball from Germany and a knock-off that was $20 less. They looked the same and held about the same about of hay so I went with the knock-off

My Canadian also eats like this. When I had her on self board, I doubled one inch hay nets - she could still empty them in 1-1.5 hours. I recently bought a hay ball which holds about 5-6 pounds. It sl

I will be moving my mare on Sept 26. Any recommendations on how to reduce her stress?

Thank-you so much for the input. I'll check in with the farrier on increasing the schedule. She advised the foot powder and I started doing that this week. I have amino trace plus arriving tomorrow. I

She has been wearing boots most of the time since I took her shoes off July 1. She was very sore after removing shoes. Before I went on vacation, she seemed a lot better. I had the boots off for a cou

No grass at all for 3 weeks, since I returned from vacation on August 28 and found her so sore. She was trimmed on August 28. The vet - who is known for being good with metabolic issues - did not reco

Sorry meant to add, on the photos I have been using keratex on the lower half of the outside, i think a line shows there.
