Another lo-cal question

[mtj]

I noticed a couple of people commenting on their horses going loopy on Baileys lo-cal.

Can anyone clarify what type of behaviour occurred?

I bought a Connie in April as a companion/light hack . he is a brilliant companion, a joy to handle, but rather spooky. His previous owner (openly) sold him because of the spooking. Having spoken to the owner before that regarding some soundness issues, she was a bit put out that the horse had been sold on and rather surprised when I said it was because of the spooking.

He was fed lo-cal by the owner I purchased him from, and i have continued this, but wondering if i mighthave rather more sedate hacks without!

He had a 2* vetting when I bought him, so his eyes were checked then. Back, saddle, teeth, bitting have all been sorted.
Obviously, any pain from his spavin might also be contributing.

Any feedback very welcome

I have recently put my pony on lo-cal balancer and he certainly is on his toes ATM but because him going on this suppliment coincided with others things (Alfa A Oil, clipping, cold weather etc) it's hard to tell if the lo-cal balancer is to blame.

I can cope with his excitement out hacking and I love his new-found enthusiasm for schooling so will keep him on it for now but if he gets any worse I will investigate further.

It seemed to get in to his system pretty quickly - maybe you might see a difference quite quickly if you stop feeding it?

Good luck
