I use Jim Warner style hacks and skips Bitless Bridles are great, my boy does not care for bits but does not seem to mind a JR cowhorse. Gunnar is a righty so he does get a little pissy when working to the left, I don't know if your horse is like mine? Just a thought:)

You need to get the Serum from Bob Glass... Your vet should be able to get it also SynBiont AG wash and Fungus Free Plus oil... I fought it and won over a year ago.

Vet said to put my horse on a dry fat supplement like cool calories, but I have heard iffy things about it. Any recommendations? We think she is saddlebred or...
Katie P. replied:
I like cool calories the best so far. I also use the cocosoya oil in the summer because it gets like syrup in the cold. Right now I'm trying Cocosoya Ultra SP™ you can buy it from https://www.smartpakequine.com/mobile/ps/3525#Overview It's alright. It smells good, all of my horses like it, but the scoop for it is HUGE. I'm using half a scoop right now because I feel like a full scoop is just way too much. In my opinion cool calories gives you more bang for your buck. Even the big bag of cool calories is cheaper then the cocosoya supplement and you use less per serving.

I highly suggest putting him on Animal Element Detox and Cissus. Will help him have a quicker recovery while making him healthy. Also the cissus produces collagen for ligament and tendon repair and also is good for pain!!! Very affordable!!! http://www.animalelement.com/ contact me for info!!
Has alfalfa cubes ever caused a horse to colic? My mare gas coliced tonight and we can't figure out what caused it. Nothing in her diet changed. Same routine and...
Becky B. replied:
eating has changed considerably – even a horse living at grass eats a different diet from his ancestors. National Equine Health Unfortunately for the domesticated horse, his intestines have not evolved to meet these changes and, as a consequence, he is susceptible to digestive upset. A horse’s digestion involves fermentation of which a by-product is gas, which can easily distend the gut causing problems. Horses cannot vomit to get rid of toxins, or indigestible food. The gut has a large absorptive area (needed because the animal is a herbivore) which leaves the horse susceptible to toxins being absorbed quickly. Also, natural feeding habits mean that nature designed the horse to be on the move, grazing on the way. This is known as “trickle feeding” whereby the horse eats large quantities of low-energy food throughout the day, typically spending 16 hours a day feeding. Today’s management of horses often indicates two feeds a day of hard feed, rationed hay and stabling for eight hours without exercise or food. This is obviously very different to the life the horse was designed to lead. This change from the natural and ideal situation means that horses can react to any added stress on their lifestyle, which is often the cause of colic.
Who do y'all order your vaccines though? It's such a hassle to get the vet out now a days since I work so freaking much. I'm thinking I'm just going to do my own.

Anybody on here an equine vet technician ? I'd love to pick someone's brain on a good school and the pros & cons of actually becoming one and what schooling do I need ?
Can anyone recommend a vet clinic that does crypt surgery? I have a mini horse and surprisingly can't find anyone willing to try it. I am in the NE Ohio area.
