Really tough feeders. My drafts play football with it everyday and I don't mean just passing the ball. I mean kick for the field goal type stuff! Not uncommon to see that thing sailing through the air. It definitely isn't as pretty as the website after two years of abuse, but there are no cracks or chips at all. The only maintenance I have done besides wash it with the hose is filing off some tooth marks on the grid. Best money I ever spent. Actually, my DH & I were having a conversation last night about buying a second one for the big field.

The natural feeder sounds interesting. Are they tough enough to withstand the pawing?

I use Equi Analytical (dairy one). They will send you out a test packet so they make it super easy to do it. Send it in (postage paid as well) and they will email the results in about 5 days. ...

Horse has flaring, long toes, long underrun heels and looks imbalanced possibly also. Needs a proper trim now.

Katie,your horse is not a pet, it is a large animal always aware of its surroundings and predators around it and watching out for danger. You can't put human feelings into animals, if the horse...

Big hugs, MHF. Nothing I can say will make it better. Only tincture of time helps, and even then not perfectly. What a lovely tribute to an amazing horse. It's very clear you loved him deeply....

Well no, but I don't think getting clocked in the head by a pregnant, skeeved off mare sounds that fun, either. :wink:

Walk away. They are flat out lying to you. If he hasn't dropped yet it's unlikely he ever will. The cost to geld a bilateral cyrptorchid colt starts around 1K if it's straight forward with no...

This I find a rather ignorant and offensive statement. Just because people aren't jumping on your band wagon doesn't mean that we don't care or love our horses. Sometimes a shot or a needle is...

I used to slide my horse down powerlines. He literally sat on his butt and "walked" his butt down, then knee-dug up the other side. I did that bareback ---- when I weighed 118 pounds. Now it's...

Do you think he's underweight? Is he more modern built? Mine tend to go through a growth spurt in the 5-6 age range so they do slim down while they grow than once the growing is done, they'll pack...

I am not a human ophthalmologist, but I am a vet. Steroid + corneal ulcer = melted cornea. NEVER EVER give steroids with a corneal ulcer, especially in cats and horses!!

Your vet is in idiot...and from the sounds of it imcompetent. No vet says" its above the knees in both legs and needs surgery" as a diagnosis. What is the injury? Where is the injury? Did the vet...

Instead of all you armchair conspiracy theorists sitting about jacking your jaws, why don't you contact some of the parents who LOST THEIR CHILDREN? I'm sure they'd have some choice words for all of...

sorry to be harsh but I agree with Speed Racer. This little filly, as lovely as she is has not got a future. They spent $5500 on keeping her alive for what? a life where she will likely never be...

So Endiku, why was so much donor's money spent on ONE horse when it would have been better served to euth her and save 5 more in less physical trauma? That's one of the main problems I have with...

Frankly, for your own safety, you need to get rid of this horse. I realize that it sounds harsh, but her behavior is beyond anything you are capable of handling on your own and I won't offer any...
