Hi Claribella, Yesterday I bought Triple Crown Senior, and my feed store is ordering an additive someone suggested (I forget what the name is, but they were out of it) that the feed store said I should start seeing results in around 2 weeks. I use a rotational wormer so they don't become...

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your reply, my feed store might have this stuff actually. It's always overwhelming there because they have rows and rows of products. I'll make a note of this product and ask them for it. What do you use for sand colic? Here in Florida, there is no dirt...

Thanks! I worm every month because I live in FL and there are a LOT of flies, Mosquitos, ticks, fleas, etc that spread worms to the animals like wildfire. It's only $5 a month for a good rotational wormer. I did consider Triple crown, I think I might actually get that for her because its a 10%...

Hello all, I recently purchased a mare, and she needs some weight. Her ribs, top line, and hips are very visible. She was on pasture with 14 others, and she was fed sweet feed 4 times a day (pound and a half). Most of the others, with an exception of her and a few, were healthy weights, so...

Wow, this is an amazing thread! I had never considered using a battery, we actually just ran underground wiring out to the horses from our house! How long does your battery last?

How do you sharpen the blades?

Did you make that nose band? I really like the orange and black! I'd love to learn how to make those, and where to buy the string for it, I bought a bracelet from a fundraiser that looks just like that. I've studied it a bunch trying to figure out how they melted the ends and such. I think I...

The polo bandages do make a beautiful accent color! I ride western, so I always forget about those. Thanks for reminding me!!! I will check those out when I go to the store later. :D

I know what you mean, I thought a bright teal would look good on my dapple gray, but it looked... tacky. Now its just collecting dust in the tack room. Black just looks so clean and it is really eye catching! I am grateful for everyone's advice! I think I will stick with brown and black, and...

Hello all, So I recently purchased a flea-bitten gray Andalusian cross, but she looks all white until you get so close your nose is almost touching her and you can see the brown specks. My gelding is a dapple gray Mustang, and he looks amazing in all black, so he's got allllll black tack...

I'm anxious to see the replies, I have a half clipped Mustang out back from attempting to use my husbands hair trimmers. Everything was going smoothly, and I even tried my hand at design clipping and put a heart on his hindquarter. Then we ran into trouble in the thick hair area around his...

I actually think they look ok. He's going to be a little light footed for quite a few months after coming off the shoes. Your farrier sounds amazing!!! But the hooves look great. They do look sort of short in the front, but I know that pictures of stuff like this are never accurate. Glad to hear...

My mustang was getting cracks and chips a lot, I put him on Biotin and now he has perfect hooves. The biotin is really good stuff. It's very difficult going from shod to barefoot, just remain patient and remember that the hoof taken care of today is the one you ride next year. It takes a year...

@micramadam My gelding was also a bribe. My husband promised me a horse if I agreed to move to FL, as it meant leaving my Tennessee mountain top home. I miss TN, but I'm glad to have my horses.

Ahh! Take some of my cats!!! Hahaha, they just keep showing up at my place and only leave to bring more friends! I swear, one of these days I will stop leaving all that cat food out for them... Darn things just pull at your heart strings... :rolleyes:
