I don't get frustrated too easily and I want to pull my hair out! I gave up on the yahoo group years ago because I had so much trouble using it. Now I am trying so hard again for a different horse. Ma

Thanks Claudia for understanding. We are on such a tight budget so we have to pick one or the other hay analysis and mineral balancing or CTM. I do like the plus, have had decent results for that on o

Thank you so much Maggie for all your help being tech challenged on the yahoo and group sites. I did just upload the file. I haven't figured out how to add rows or put in past supplements for example

I feel for you and you have taken on a tremendous job! Size 11, HOLY COW! I hope it is ok to comment here and if it's not just toss it out. I could not do without the extra foam mats fir them to stand
