Dear Sherry and Lorna, I haven't found the reference I remember (will keep looking), but here's another reason horses may feel more relaxed with their heads down while feeding. From Jim Masterson's bp

Good to know, Nancy. I use Mov-Ease for Blessing and have been wondering if it really helps. Maybe I'll try a test period without it and see if I can notice anything.

Hi Nancy, I've spent nearly an hour trying to log onto MightyCause to increase my monthly donation. I'm not succeeding. Can you tell me if you got monthly donations from me in 2019? I'm beginning to s

Hi Nancy, I think just increased my monthly donation from $15 to $25/mo on Mighty Cause. I hope I did this properly. My intention is to give one gift a month, in the amount of $25. If I end up giving
