Congrats Paula! That's my advise to the younger generation too. So easy to start, so very hard to quit! The sad part is the tobacco companies are putting more and more additives in to keep you hooked! I know I need to stop, but I lack the motivation and willpower to quit. You have done a great job o...

My mare was out in a herd for her first 5 years, she doesn't care about much! Rain, snow, thunderstorms, flies, seems not much bothers her, she loves being out.

Hayburner

Well maybe someone will design a helmet that looks very similar to a top hat

Hayburner

The kitten I found 2 months ago that seemed days from death also found a home!

The vet loved her and kept her! Made me so happy and worth my and my dear friends efforts.

Hayburner

Glad you were able to get to the, before they went to the main roads. Hopefully, your boy is fine and isn't sore from his adventure. I am OCD about stall doors and gates. I check, check again and recheck! Usually, I will even say the word locked when doing up my horses stall door at nite. I know it ...

Hayburner

Glad you took an inventory of what is in the house, be sure to take pictures too! Not to scare you but he may bring up the value of your horse and associated tack,etc. Just prepare yourself for that just in case it does get ugly. A friend is moving to another state and significantly downsizing and w...

Hayburner

Dresser, Please do not jump the gun and sell your horse! Your horse is support you will need In This journey. You may have to cut back on a few things to afford the horse for awhile, but things have a way of working out. I always felt God brought horses in to my life after my marriage as he knew I w...

Hayburner

Blob, my mare does this too. She does get bodywork every other month and she does get tight in her rump and her hamstrings. I work on massaging those areas.

Hayburner

Have you sat down and talked this thru with him? Would going to marriage counseling be of any benefit? Is he really done or is he shooting from the hip for other reasons? I have been separated for almost 10 years and a divorce will probably come next year. Unfortunately, I lived for over 5 years wit...

Hayburner

Exvet, that's kind of what I am afraid of, taking her off prescription strength hydroxyzine for a supplement that may not be as effective. Antihistamine wise, the Equishield would be stronger. Since my vet suggested the Equishield shampoo and spray I'll contact her for her opinion. I will add flax t...

Hayburner

Exvet, thank you for the reply and suggestions. I was comparing the PP and the Equishield SA. The Equishield has a higher level of Quercetin 300mg vrs PP 105mg. Which isn't the Quercetin a natural antihistamine ? So it might give more relief than the PP? The Equishield also has Vit E, MSM, flax, ric...

My poor mare is still quite itchy! This started at the end of July. Tried Benidryl, hyroxyzine and now switched to Zertec. Also purchased medicated shampoos and sprays by Equishield IBH added Spirulina to her feed and yet she's still itchy! Since I thought it was bug related, I thought or prayed tha...

Hayburner

You can also wear the Smartwool socks in the summer, they breathe. Love my Thinline saddle pads, for the summer I bought a contoured one which fits my mare nicely. I like full sized ones with the back on track for the winter months. Love those tiger tongue sponges! They are useful for many things! I...

Hayburner

I always liked green on my mainly bright chestnut pinto.
I love purple but not on him!
He also looked nice in certain shades of blue.

Why not get one with multiple colors and something super flashy for your pretty mare

Hayburner

Good luck with your surgery! My sister had it done and had lens put in and she also no longer needs glasses. She does need to wear cheaters for close up stuff.

I always ask my eye dr if I have them yet as I would love to get lenses in so that I can quit wearing my contacts/glasses.

Hayburner

Thanks Khall, I ordered Spirulina from Smartpak and also the Equiderma lotion . Her back legs seem to be the most itchy. With fall coming hopefully, this will all subside.

Hayburner

Very Nice!

I follow Cedar on Facebook, she does a great job.

Hayburner

Thanks for the link!

Hayburner

Good to know all is ok with you. Family issues always have to come first and they do consume so much of physically and mentally.

Katz is super stunning!

Hayburner

Blob, that's the odd thing she is not raw, missing hair or bloody. Tho, her back legs do have some scratched areas where she has nicked herself and caused it to bleed. Going to start a new post and see if anyone has had their vet recommend Apoquel. Also, going to contact my vet to see what she think...

Hayburner

Well, my poor mare is still super duper itchy! She's been on 12 Hydroxyzine 50 mg 2 times a day and I see little improvement, tho her attitude has improved! LOL I was reading up on using Spirila and I'm not sure I want to use it since it can be toxic if not harvested/grown safely. She won't eat grou...

Hayburner

Thank you Straightford, the saddle I was trying and think is nice (tho, fitter would not allow a few days trial) I had to work on Putting my leg in the correct position . It could very well have been because I was not having my legs nice and loose and/or an open enough hip angle. Not sure if it's wo...

Hayburner

Since I am looking for a saddle, just wondering if a saddle can really put you and your legs in the correct position?

Many Saddles state they put your leg in the correct position but do they?

Do extended stirrup bars help?

Hayburner

Oh my, hopefully she chimes in with an update and all is well

Hayburner

Exvet, you may also want to look at DP Saddles. If I had a rep nearby I would definitely try one for my mare.

Hayburner

Exvet. Did you look at Albion's Fabrento model?

Hayburner

Ok, so I asked after fitter texted me if I could trial the saddle for a couple of days to be sure of my selection, No Response. I to,d her I wanted to be sure I liked it and to make sure it did t fit like my other saddle that I didn't like. 2 days later she calls, we get disconnected and she didn't ...

Hayburner

Yes Blob, very funny how we both were using the same brand and model of Saddles! The seat on the model I test ride cannot be changed, tho I wonder if I could get Buffalo leather which would be a better grip than calf skin. Silk, thanks for the positive review of your Albion saddle. AmityBee, yes, I ...

Hayburner

Blob, I also have a Frank Baines Elegance that I will be selling! I've had it a good 10-15 years but really didn't use it much once I found the Wintec Isabell. It's still in very good shape with nice soft leather. I just didn't feel locked in enough in it. At that time I was doing more trail riding,...

Hayburner

Blob, BTW what did you end up buying?

Hayburner

Exactly Blob! I'm afraid that a 10-15 min ride isn't enough to make a firm and accurate decision on a saddle. Also, when spending 5k, I want to be sure I LOVE it. My Friend ordered a custom saddle after riding in the demo and when hers came her horse wasn't happy in it. He seemed ok in the demo and ...

Hayburner

The MacRider saddle I purchased off EBay will not fit my horse correctly. I tried a new MacRider and loved how cushy the seat was, I seemed to melt into it. But, I was worried about having it fitted on a regular basis, as I'm not in an area they typically cover. My Wintec Isabell is still working fo...

Hayburner

My older gelding also was a High shedder on occasion.

I tried the Strongid daily and it did nothing to help the situation, total waste of money.

My vet had me give him Equimax every 30 days for a few months. We retested a few times And his numbers dramatically decreased.

Hayburner

Heddylamar, when I bought my mare I had her Vit E level tested and she was low based on the recommendations of Cornell. I initially used high doses of the Nano E to get her numbers up, after a good 9 months on Nano E and having her retested her numbers were up so I switched to an easier to administe...

Hayburner

Wow those filzsattel pads look great!

Hayburner

Straightforward, Thanks for the link!

I was trying mine out and had some issues which she addressed.

I read thru it quickly so not sure if she mentioned phi e must be in airplane mode or not. That was one of the mistakes I made. You can use that or do not disturb depending on your phone.

Hayburner

Not weird at all unless I'm weird ; as I also have several contacts in my phone that are deceased.

I wonder why we keep them? Do we just want to keep remembering them?

Hayburner

Anyone use the shampoo and conditioner for a horse that is super itchy right now? I read the instructions and they suggest leaving it on for an hour! :roll: Good Lord, in this heat it would be dried on the horse quickly. My mare has become extremely itchy this year her back legs are the worst! I did...

Hayburner

Tanga. I need a few days where it is high 80-90 degrees! The Indoor can get pretty hot if there is t a breeze, LOL I also need someone to help me set it up while I get on and to use their tripod. But, I am excited to use it. As for dark horse, etc the horse image can be I,proved by using white polos...

Hayburner

With Pixo you need a camera and to be outdoors.

They have made significant upgrades to the app and have a Facebook page with tons of videos and advise on how to set it up.
Majority of users seem to like it.

Hayburner

I bought one a few months ago, I got the Silver version.

I haven't used it but have played with it a bit and it works!

I referred a friend to buy one and she loves it!

I bought one since it can be used indoors !

Hayburner

Thanks!

Hayburner

Is she destroying the blankets by biting and tearing them?

If so, put some chew stop on the fly sheets

Hayburner

I have had 2 recent issues with USPS, lost items being shipped to me.

One shipment came from NY 2nd day air and I finally after 20 some days got the shipment.

Hayburner

Thanks Silverado!

Hayburner

I'm really liking my new PS of Sweden reins! Way better connection than what I had with my heavier laced reins!

Hayburner

I bought mine from Smartpak and I am around 130 lbs and I've to had any problems with the band breaking. They are a few years old and still using them.

Hayburner

I use Neem oil on my flowers!

I wonder if you can safely add it to phyrana fly spray?

My mare was getting a bit itchy on her belly, I had some Micro-Tech spray And I put it in a couple of times, it seemed to really help.

Hayburner

Silverado, got your PM's and replied
