Hi, My name is Paula, and I am new to this group. I own an 11 year old paint mare named Bonnie who is n/h. I didn't know she had HYPP when I bought her; as a...
Ride to your heart's content. I know SEVERAL upper level all around event horses that are N/H and are out hauling/showing every weekend. Take precautions, be...
2007 has been an exciting year for Equine-Reproduction.com, LLC! We relocated from Northern California to Wynnewood, Oklahoma (65 miles south of Oklahoma City...
My 6 yr old mare, untested, collapsed in her stall - found out my husband had bought different beet pulp (had molasses in it!)...her eye lids got very strange...
Hello, Definitely avoid beetpulp w/ molasses in it. You mainly want to keep her potassium level to a bare minimum. Your diet sounds perfect (beet pulp (no...
Test, test, test! Test your hay...timothy and grass could be very high in K. Last timothy mix I got in here was nearly 3% K. Generally, berumda hays are lower...
This does , thanks! By keeping stress down does that mean not to show her? Also, is alphalfa/timothy a better hay choice than Tim/Orch? One last question-is...
I know many, many, show horses that are out there every weekend hauling not just to local shows but across the entire nation earning points for year end...
Would it be better to keep my mare off timothy mix if she is on paster 24/7...? In fact, would alphalfa be better than my current hay? Why is alphalfa...
I go by body condition. If my horses have access to a pasture that is holding up well (drought here this year) and they are in good body condition, I don't...
Actually, keeping stress down just means for you to get to know your horse and what things do and do not really stress her out. For my mare, she's been...
I thought I would introduce myself. I purchased a 5 year old Appaloosa mare in foal last year. After receiving her registration papers I found out she was...
I don't usually post ads on horses for sale, but this filly is probably n/h, not tested yet, haven't been worried about it since I treat her like she's...
My 18-yr-old N/H mare has been stopping on trail rides and it's getting harder to get her moving (she's moves fine on the way home). She has not had an...
Hello everyone! I'm new here, my name's Brittany and I own a 2 YO buckskin AQHA gelding that is hypp n/h. I had an idea what hypp was, but no idea that there...
How big are his parents? What is his body condition like? Small size may be in his genetic makeup, however is he a scrawny small size, or a fat and sassy...
Hi Brittany, It sounds like you are feeding a good diet. I highly recommend DAC products to add a vit/min supplement to his program (if you wish to add...
His parents are 15.1/15.2. His body condition is good, he is about 14.2/900 lbs. Definitely fat and sassy small size. I don't know how much in lbs. I'm feeding...
Then it sounds like he's just going to be maybe not as tall as his parents. It's not uncommon at all really for one to do this. I have an old QH mare here...
Due to the increasing costs of traveling, as of January 1st, 2008 the cost to attend will increase to $325.00 to attend a two day course and $425.00 to attend...
Hi all!! my name is Corine and I own a almost 3 year old N/H gelding. He has never had any severe episodes. On average I see him trembling some muscle about 3...
Corine, I have somewhat of the same issue. I put my N/H/ QH on Acetazolimide powder about three years ago. He had 1 episode, and that was ALL I needed to...
What type of feed is he getting? How much and how often? Also, do you test each batch of hay for potassium levels? It can vary per supplier and per cutting,...
Hi Stacey! Thanks so much for your reply! So with the meds I really wont have any problems anymore? He had another small episode this morning… Do you ride...
Thanks Tiffany! Yes, the hay is tested yearly and is always from the same farmer. He gets free-feed hay, and his low potassium supplements. That’s it. No,...
Corine, it doesn't necessarily have to be that anything in his feed changed. The HORSE can change. The only way I knew Pickle had hypp was that he was at the...
