I have a 41/2 month old foal that has been eating a mare and foal pellet since he was a week old. He was eating four cups daily but he has recently stopped eating it. It began last Wednesday morning. He turned his nose up to his am and pm feeding. I didn't think too much about it because he was eating...

I worry about Laninitis (founder being the extreme end of laminitis) any time grain is fed. Beet pulp, shredded, soaked, rinsed, soaked & rinsed again is a much better alternative to any grain. The way we feed our horses (twice daily, in most cases ) and what we feed them (sugar & carb loaded...

I am in the same boat you are in. I have a 16 month old Oldenburg that is also about 700 lbs and 14.2 h with mild Physitis. I have been reading and learning all I can. I called an Equine Nutritionist named Jayne Dewey with Porgressive Nutrition. She has mapped out a personal feeding plan for my horse...

I let my vet, Dr. P, know what I was feeding Bri, she said that was OK. Here's the article she wrote for Horse Illustrated on Cushing's Disease: http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-health/equine-cushings-disease-24321.aspx She only gets 1/2 flake of alfalfa a day. Her grain, Integrity Lite, is...

[quote user="walkinthewalk"] That is a great article and I copied the link over to my local messge board. Now that I have an EMS horse and realize how subtle and insidious Cushings can be, I am trying to raise awareness. Dr.Posnikoff must feel your horse isn't in the severe Cushings category...

I realize there are well documented poisonous plants for horses, but does anyone know what human food is not the best for equines? I recently had a horse colic...she survived thank goodness...however I am racking my brain as to its cause. A day or two prior to her most severe symptoms, I remember finding...

"If you choose to introduce beet pulp do it a little at a time and with some kind of tastey addition.. We add flax seed and rice bran. Even my pickiest TBs like the beet pullp." Barbara, Don't want to hijack this thread but I'm curious about the flax seed. I feed Briahna a Cushing's...

I also have some picky hay eaters in the age ranges you mention. In fact your horses sound like they are my horses! I live in a state where hay is so dear that I had to do something. I put everyone's hay either up in a bag or in a feeder. I use bags instead of nets because there is way less danger...

I am new to this site also. I own a 9 year old Buckskin Quarter Horse mare named Winona Rider (Whinny for short)and she is what you call an "easy keeper". Like me, she loves to eat. She gets no grain, just hay in the winter and grass in the spring and summer. I love using a grazing muzzle on...

I have a QH mare that I keep on hay only. Due to having to change boarding stables twice this spring, we are having trouble getting her access to free choice hay. I have her eat hay only as she gets hot on grain. Her latest boarding facility wants to add hay stretcher or grain to her diet as she is slightly...
