I’m not sure if I’ll be on the call Thursday but I’ll try to get home in time. I have several questions.

1) Thinking ahead…your thoughts on acorns. With the hay only and SBM diet he isn’t the eating machine that he was before, but he thinks acorns are quite tasty. We have quite a few oak trees, and in spite of my best efforts, some will… Read more

Sorry I missed this comment @Kayce –

Stress can be invisible to those not looking for it. Some of the simple things we have found are things like altered appetite, change in behavior or stable patterns, and physiologic things like body temperature, hoof heat, digital pulse, sweating, and overall changes in personality – and these are often… Read more
