    I love my 6 year old Azteca to pieces, and up until recently he acted as he felt the same. He was super sweet, loved pets, was a dream to ride, and love cuddles and kisses. Last week, I was bringing him in from the pasture when I noticed he seemed uncomfortable. He looked agitated and was...

    I have a 5 yr old 15h buckskin Azteca gelding, and after lightly lunging him I noticed his flanks have drawn up on both sides. I don't know how long its been there, but I haven't noticed it before. I already performed the pinch hydration test, which was normal, and after I put him away, he...

    My pony has been acting up so I did a little assessment to look for pain. And I found this. It’s hard like a scab and it’s coming off in chunks with the hair. I haven’t pulled anything off of course but it is coming off. Like I said it’s really hard to the touch but the hardness doesn’t go under...

    Hello, I keep my horse(s) at a barn and one of them just passed away from a bad case of colic that led to twisted gut. I won’t get into it much right now because I’m still incredibly upset with how it was handled. But thinking it over, I’ve noticed that at least 3 different horses have had Colic...

    Hey there, I’m new to the community and I hope I can find some good advice here! I’m just gonna go ahead and apologize for the long post, but I feel that all this info may be needed.

    Hello all, I may be getting a little baby of only 3 months old. She is being weaned early due to current owners circumstances/reasons. I'm considering getting this baby as I'm already getting a 6 month old colt from close to the same area anyway and the two would have each other for company...

    Hi I may look like an absolute idiot posting this however I haven’t seen it before in any horses eyes near me. Does this look normal to you? I am just concerned about the white ring and the slight blue tinge to the pupil and obviously first thought is cataracts! It’s in both his eyes (pictures...

    This is not a troll. I am dead serious. I have recently bought a new mare for breeding but it has a problem. It has a VERY oversized clitoris and vagina which extends down from top to bottom about 2 hands or so. This clitoris itself remains well hidden while it is not in heat. But when she is in...

    We bought a gelding P.O.A. and halflinger cross for my kids as a beginner pony. We were told he was 12 but looking at his teeth I just can’t tell. I honestly don’t care either way he’ll have a great home for the rest of his life regardless, just curious. 🤔

    I just adopted an ex broodmare back in January so I'm new to this side of the horse world but have been involved with horses my whole life. The mare has an (almost calcified) buildup on her vulva... I can clean her up several times a day which helps with her itching out her tail but it doesn't...

    Hi, I’ve just moved to a new property where leeches are quite abundant in the paddocks. My other pets are fine and unaffected in general, but my two mini horses constantly have leeches on their feet/legs. I go out in the morning and their fetlocks are covered in blood. The only good thing is...
