Hi, Anne, I hope we ALL look as good when we're the equivalent age! Unfortunately, we lost Jeb this past fall to complications of squamous cell carcinoma....
I just looked at the picture of the horse that is 39. He looks really good. I have a mare that I love dearly 28 yrs old. I am praying every day that she lives...

I have mid to late 20-ish Percheron, who until the last two weeks, was doing great. Now, he is having trouble getting up. The first time it happened was two...
I know how scary it is to have a horse not able to get up. For both of you. Are you pretty sure its joint pain causing his difficulty? Has he been evaluated...

I had not been soaking the feed because I did not know she has had a problem. BUT the vet said to wait a few days until her throat heals - then start soaking...
I agree with the suggestion to soak. We soak all our seniors' feeds with just enough hot water to cover. With hot water, it takes about 20 minutes to get...
I have mostly older horses too and have been down the "choke" road several times. I have two of the metal bucket heaters in the winter and while I do my...
