Siting in the barn watching Scotty shifting, shifting, shifting and wondering if it is now time to end his life. Such an old boy, he has been privileged to have you as his carekeeper. I am not an advo

I'm familiar with these winter coat circular raised patches. I call them winter dapples. They do seem to occur in horses that dapple out in their summer coats.

Ah, thank you once more Dr. K. Now I will never worry about "long stem" again.

As a complete feed? I don't think pellets have enough, or any, long stem forage which needed for gut health. I wonder what percentage of hay in the diet is minimumally required

Normal time to administer Prascend is 5 pm. Now I have to go off at 9 am tomorrow (Tues) and can't return until 5 pm on Wed. Should I administer as usual tonite at 5pm and tomorrow at 9 am or just ski

Sweating produces moisture which attracts flies/gnats. So how to stop sweating when temps. are so high??? You could try therapeutic NEEM OIL, adding it to some fly spray. It is supposed to last longer
