Hi Folks, I am looking for a natural probiotic I can feed to my horse as he is coming to the end of his antibiotic treatment for a deep wound he aquired by his hock. Any ideas on suitable products out there? Cheers

I totally agree with you...slapping a horse in anger or with agression is not ok. Looks like Linda is trying to get the horse to move his front end around (moving a horse sideways, backwards or disengage the hindquarters can help break the pattern of him wanting to run forwards, but you're not...

Would be interesting to know why you're considering using a traditional hackamore? Maybe take a look at International and Olympic Eventer David O'Connor for some inspiration on bridles and how to use them... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImzUgnhV-EU Just a thought... Best of luck!
