I bought a mini mare in December from a slaughter pen and had her quarantined for roughly 25 days, after which I started using the same water buckets to cary water to her and to my qh gelding. A few days later I put them together. She had a snotty nose for awhile and some discharge from one...

Hello, my horse spudicus is almost 5 years old and currently had strangles, but he is not foaming at the mouth, wat does this mean?

I'm moving my horse on Sunday to a new stable. The previous stable, which he has been at for about 3 years, did not believe in giving vaccinations to their horses. Now the new stable requires Distemper, tetanus, and virus flu shot. I have someone to administer them, I'm just wondering if these...
