  1. General Riding queries
    So I’ve been feeling pretty run down the last few days, post nasal drip, headaches, low appetite, muffled ears/ ear pain, and a dry cough. Took a rapid test but it says no Covid. So I decided to cancel my riding lesson today with my trainer, due to not wanting to get her or her baby sick(he is...

    To start off with, I've had my haflinger (could be a draft cross, she's taller and wider than a lot of them) for four years now. Normally she's this super lively girl hopping and hollering after you, making sure everyone knows she's present. She has always been the boss of the herd in any herd...

    Does anyone know? In my herd of either the super young, or geriatric horses, I own a 22 year old Morgan/Welsh cross who we call Merrylegs. We bought him back in July from his old owner for about $200, thinking he's happy and healthy, but for that price I think we may have been mistaken. (Out...
  4. Horse Boarding/Livery/Agistment Queries
    New horse owner here - less than 2 years. I am trying to figure out if I am overreacting to a situation with the barn where I board or if this is legitimate enough to start looking for a new farm. Everything has been fine up until the last 3 months or so. Medium-large size boarding/training...

    One of our Hancock brood mares is sick and the vets can't figure out what it could be. If she decides to let her legs give the vet doesn't think she'll make it. She is roughly 8 mo pregnant. I found her in the pasture Friday, 3/13/15, morning with the following symptoms: -Standing still -...

    I have a 14 year old quarter horse mare. I took her for a ride and she acted completely fine. I cooled her off, took her back to the barn and fed. I hadn't changed my routine at all. When I was finished, I put her in her stall and she pooped. I gave her grain, she took a few bites, then acted...

    Hello all. I have a 20 year old mini. Has been in spectacular health since I've had her (about 3 years). Suddenly about two weeks ago, my husband and I started noticing her laying down quite a bit. Then suddenly she stopped eating and became extremely lethargic and showed common signs of colic...

    Just to clarify, this is not about my horse. It's about a horse I know of and just want what information I can get. The owner is calling the vet, but I would like to understand what is going on so I can help her out. The horse is a 10 y/o TB, who was rescued early last summer. He had be...

    My friend is boarding her horse at her family's property and one of their horses is sick. I was wondering if any of you have delt with something like this, I would really appreciate your experience and help. A few days ago the horse stopped eating and his gums were dark in color. Also when...

    I was just wondering if anyone on here has ever delt with a mildly dehydrated horse. I understand the skin tugor test and CRT with the mucous membranes and everything. I have routinely checked all my horses. However I also know sunken eyes is also a symptom of dehydration. One of my horses has...

    My horse has a really runny nose every once in a while. He doesn't act differently or anything, but it does worry me a little bit. It's not just a tiny little bit of liquid, but actual lots of clear mucous. Sorry if it sounds gross, but I just want to know if I'm over thinking it at all. Is it...

    Hi there! First of all, as a disclaimer, I would like to say that, yes, we are going to take him to a vet, but we're just working through what it could be in the meantime. Our (roughly) 16 year old Quarter horse has always had problems with keeping weight and staying healthy - he's a rescue...
