Good afternoon. I have a question and hope you can add some insight for me. I have an older gelding 15 - 18 ish...signed over by an ex boarder. I have his weight up, he gets alfalfa hay. He gets loose stool. watery so it gets on his butt cheeks on legs and tail (nasty mess) I give him a small scoop of dry bran which helps some. I have used a jar of probitiocs .did not help . Biosponge did not help. He is better when on pasture, but at the moment, the pasture is just starting to grow again, and I wait until it is about a foot high or higher when I put them back out, less worry about the sugars and founder and colic , and they still get some hay on pasture as I have more horses out than the pasture can feed. I have dewormed Ivermectin and the power dose of fenbendazole. I have soaked the feces in a glove and dont get sand. In 40 yrs of owning and caring for horses, I have never had a horse with this problem. Vet kinda shrugged, everything seems normal.

I still start laughing at random over the Einstein/Monroe crossing.
Thank you for great releaf :))

I could never give up the trail!

I am with the OP- I enjoy trail riding and being out so much that I don't really *get* how someone wouldn't want to. I also don't *get* how some people don't like chocolate. Just that they don't....

I'm coming to ride with you! Beautiful!

When I start my young horses, We do a couple of rides in the round pen. But once the horse has learned to give and has a stop. We head for a trail. It is a great way to teach a horse. And any horse...

The tone of moral superiority I'm hearing in many of these posts is disheartening. Pretty obvious some of you believe that people who don't hack out are reprehensible and cruel to their horses. ...

Who wouldn't want to be enjoying this? :D

I know not everyone will agree with this, but in my mind, arena work is in preparation for riding out in the real world. A safe place to ride and train while you and your horse figure each other...

This is me........but I ain't tellin' ya my name!:wink:

Hey Hunter thanks....ya I think , bc of my dad and dating a over critical guy just like him for 6 years, I have an issue dealing with people being critical of me. My DH says I've really improved...

Have a nice evening Lori. That's impossible. Maybe we could all sign our posts with our names for a while, so we can try to remember. As my name and screen name is the same, I'm exempt.
