So extremely sorry to hear of your loss. Please know we all share in your sadness, and know you did everything humanly possible for Jesse.

Hi Kandace - I am not an expert here by any means. But I am familiar with Ultimate boots. My horse was also at a vet school in October of 2017. Because his venograms were good, he was put in Ultimate

I thank you for sharing as well Pat. So good to see the happy endings. Your horse is absolutely breathtaking!!!

Anne - I never had as bad of a situation as you describe, but Scotty was up and down for almost a year. He did get hock sores. I bought Hock Shield Ultras...not cheap but better than bleeding hocks. T

Hey Sherry...thank you for that link on searching. I often cannot find things when I try to search for them as well, and so I often don't ask questions because everybody that responds here is so busy.

I also use Midwest Agri non-molasses beet pulp and I echo the sentiments of Julie above. Once when my supplier ran out, I substituted a bag of Standlee and ended up throwing that out as soon as my Mid

Thank you to all who replied. Scotty has been on jiaogulan for quite some time. I recently increased it from a tsp twice a day to about 3 tsp twice a day since he gets it top dressed. I do think it ma

This is a 2-part question: 1. Does anyone administer APF on a continual basis and is there a harm to doing so? 2. If the answer to #1 is yes, has anyone found an alternative to the very expensive APF

Kathi - I was in your shoes a little over 3 years ago. At somewhere between 35-40 years old, and 2ml of sole on right, and 5ml on left (fronts) almost everyone thought I should have put Scotty down. T

Heather - I don't know the differences between C and F temps, as you go by C and we go by F. But yes, I watch my weather channel app constantly, and adjust blanketing as needed per the app. It's actua

Sharon - When I moved my 35-40 year old horse to our own home/not boarded 3 1/2 years ago I never in a million years would have ever thought he could never eat hay again. After boarding, I thought tha

Angie - When I started Flax I was buying the pre-ground as well. It was very expensive. I learned here that most people grind their own and it is WAY less expensive.

A few people have asked me how Scotty was coming along and I took a few lateral pics today and added them to his photo album. I know I don't take the best pics, but I think it is obvious how very far

Cathie - When Scotty had a bad bout of that in a boarding situation/change of hay, the only thing that worked was daily probiotics and a change of hay.

Rose - I think each horse has individual hoof shapes/sizes and based on their natural anatomy one kind of boot works better than others. I loved the Cloud boots, and he wore them exclusively for almos

Just seconding those opinions...Vinnie looks wonderful!!!

Bobbie - Scotty is estimated to be around 40 (we have no records, this is by equine dentist, vets, and UW-Madison vet school.) I have owned him for 17 years, and was told he was much younger than what

Love this idea as I am a visual person, and love putting a face to the name. Unfortunately, the original link was blank, and I am unable to print the pics that were added here later. As this idea grow

Also Nina - I started Scotty on 1 mg Prascend and he is now on 5 mg Pergolide. Don't let the numbers scare you as they did me.

Nina - I have often said that my Scotty (40'ish) has lived so long in spite of my best efforts, not so much because of them. I too came here feeling like I had 1,000 pound weight on my shoulders, beca
