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 :))

Horses are not afraid to get a drink. They are afraid of possible poor footing that might make them fall or get stuck. They are afraid that the creek is a bottomless pit that will sink then into the...

Bob, I may have exaggerated just a bit..............

Oreo, we want to see pictures then!

Nickermaker, I'd buy this one: Zipp is a 10 year old Registered AQHA Gelding Assuming he is sound and half as good as they say.

I have been riding trails on a regular basis for 44 years. Dang I must be old. I actually never thought of wrapping their legs. I'm glad to hear all the support saying that I am doing it right. I...

Boots and shorts look great together anyway. Well, at my house they do. Another thing about flipflops. If you go around horses, you are going to get very dirty feet.

Alex, you've got this all wrong. The man loves to clean. He hates dirt. Leave the mess till he gets there. Hand him a vacuum cleaner. He won't be a bit bored while he visits...............

Denise, I hope that you will be ready to ride when the nice fall weather gets here.

When it cooled down to a balmy 85 degrees, the DH and I went for a short ride. 2.2 miles. It was quite a ride though! The Princess was hyped up. She wasn't bad; she was good. Rather than wanting to...

We have a creek that the horses cross fine when they are in that pasture. Add a rider, and they are hesitant. I think that carrying a rider changes everything. They know that their balance and work...
