Hi, It's so nice to read that you are giving your old girl lots of TLC and that she's doing well. If you are looking for an older mare companion, I would...
I am posting this on many boards. I am acquiring a 27 y/o senior mare. She is 13.3H. She doesn't have a weight problem either way. She has a history of tying...
We have several Arabs here and they are fed basically the same as all the others. They require different amounts, based on how much hay/grass they are still...
I don't feed alfalfa to any of my old Arabs (I have four) ... my mentor always felt that it placed too great a strain on the kidneys of older horses. I know...
I agree, last year my hay was too high in alfalfa and my old mares were drinking a lot and it made the stall very wet. You may want to try a little wet beet...

My question is, this winter can I feed ... Hi, I have a 31 year old gelding who also wads up his hay. The vet told me that purina's equine sr is 50% alfalfa...
Many people feed alfalfa pellets and cubes soaked in warm water in winter, they love it. Combined with senior feed and soaked beet pulp and you are in good...
Thanks to all you guys so much. That's what I thought but I have never fed beet pulp and was afraid to do that. Anyway Thanks again for all the good advice. ...
From what I have read you feed can 9 pounds of beet pulp a day. I feed my senior horses soaked beet pulp. On July 26 we sent our 36 year old mare to the...
Hi: I have a 26 yo tb mare who is retired, last year we had very weather and this year a drought, now her hoof are splitting really bad, does anyone have any ...

Hi, I am new to the group. I have 3 TBs and 1 senior percheron cross who is 20. I would recommend putting front shoes on and bell boots. I have done this for ...
Yep, that's them! (There are other brands out there, sometimes called fly wraps, sometimes fly boots.) We originally started using them last year on Sonny...

Hi All, I'm new here but have a senior equine that the flies love as well as a poor little donkey that they eat up in the summer. I did fly predators last year...
I do use the predators also, my blacksmith says the splits are from wet to dry weather. Susan ************************************** See what's new at...
I am interested in the fly predators - where do you release them at? The other problem is, I am next to a boarding facility, would fly predators benefit me if...
We use them and have pretty decent results. They didn't do as well this year, though, which I assume has something to do with the dry conditions. The...
I thought the same thing, this year they did not seem to work so well. Susan ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com ...
