Yep! Thank you. While he is still has a bit of a crest, his weight is much better than it was last fall. We have had a few hay analysis reports done on what we are currently feeding. When he was on al

Kirsten, Thank you for the suggestions and extra info on iron results. He is currently separated - day 3, and he’s getting very grumpy 😬. He’s still refusing any beet pulp and supps or meds despite no

Thank you! Will you please remind me the proper calculation with the iron results? We will omit the alfalfa. Is there a good protein substitute. As a side note, I noticed that the Stabul 1 has alfalfa

Thanks, Martha. At my request, we increased by a half dose this time last year and sustained it through spring but saw no improvement. I’ll chat with my vet and see what she thinks.

Lorna, Thank you! I want sure if the hulls would fall into the inflammatory category as well. Thanks for the clarification. I’ll see if I can round some up.

Thank you - yes, we have the vet out annually and as needed in between. We just chatted this week, and wondered why we hadn’t revisited those tests. It’s on the list for the next visit. He’s not well

Thank you for the suggestion - any concerns about them being inflammatory?

Thank you, Sherry! The soaking of hay is a bit of a conundrum. He is one of four horses in a dry lot in the summer and one of five horses and two donkeys in a winter paddock. We primarily feed netted

Hello, It has been a while since I have updated or needed some support. Unfortunately, Frodo is in the midst of a laminitis flare-up and has been terribly lame for four weeks. The laminitic episode st

Thank you, Lavinia! Yes, she is coming back in less than two weeks to continue with Sooz and Thunder and touch up with Frodo (his trim opened up an abscess too). She did trim what she could on Thunder

Hi, For anyone who'd like to see an update, I've uploaded pictures of Sooz and Frodo after their trims today - links below. Thunder was unable to be fully trimmed because he is working on an abscess a

Thank you. It was a very scary few hours. I'm mostly thankful it is not likely to be an outcome of starting Prascend because I'm so hopeful that will help him in the long run. I suspect he has an absc

Thank you. That eases my mind. We were finally able to get him up, and he's not bearing weight on his front left. He's a hurting guy, but at least I have experience in how to address the lameness. Tha

Thunder started with a 1/4 Prascend a day 4 days ago. Today, we cannot get him up. Initially, I thought he was resting his feet, though that would unusual. He ate his beet pulp. He has gut sounds. He

Hi Lorna, Gosh, sorry. I have hit a point of overwhelm with all the information, it seems. I'm not connecting dots! I did see the list of members - is it best to contact one of the people directly? Do

Thank you, Lorna. I read those files when I joined but am struggling a bit with application to the information I have. I'll keep plugging away. It's a lot to take in! Thanks,

Hi, I've attached my hay analysis results at the end of my very long signature. As I continue to digest the information myself, I would appreciate any help with interpretation and balancing as this is

Thank you! We did put our hay fields back into a crop rotation for two years to eliminate a minimal amount of hoary alyssum, and that has worked to eradicate it. I'm working to cover all my bases to a

Lorna, Yes, the case histories are up-to-date if I'm understanding correctly. If I'm not, please let me know. All of their hay, feed, and supplements are listed. I meant I will update as we get the ha

For sure. Thank you! I will update once we have results. In the meantime, it would be neglectful of me to not cover all possibilities. If anyone does have information on this or other plants to look f
