I bought gloves years ago that were lined with thinsulate. They were warm. I just don't recall who made them......

This is tricky for us too as I believe someone previous rushed my guy's training to put changes on him. Our small ring 20x40 also is limiting and he seems to anticipate what to do. I totally agree about trying it outside of the ring - - - my largest paddock has trees so great for suppling and bendin...

Thanks RTR - I just looked up lots of good stuff about pumpkin for dogs. I will definitely give it a try. He is alert and mobile for his age - still beats me going up the stairs. I know this needs to get resolved as it has gotten worse this past 2 weeks.

I figure this is a problem fairly common in elderly dogs. We have a rescue pom mix appox age 15-16 years old. He has had his fair share of health problems in the past - bladder surgery twice to remove stones and put on special diet for years until he refused to eat it. He has been having diarrhea on...

oops - missed it. Can you move this post there?

As musicalcomedy requested - Would it be a good idea to have a new thread just for us 'senior' gals (over 60) with 'senior' horses? :) I just turned age 59 and ride a large pony - Connemara gelding who I purchased at age 10. I had previously retired and then lost my heart horse. I hadn't planned to ...
