@DinahC Thank you!!

When you have a moment, please look at @Matt-Support questions below.

@Kathy Here is a link to Standlee’s nutritional analysis of forage:

It was a blood draw at 1 PM. He had his soaked hay and SBM around 8 AM. His ACTH was good. Yes, the real result is having a little Morgan that is no longer in pain and wants to move and play.

I’ve kept a journal during this 6-year quest to find help. (It’s an interesting read.) I truly believe THA saved Wren’s life and I tell everyone I… Read more

I found this Rounds particularly valuable, not that the others aren’t, but this one just refreshed the core issues with a diet high in sugars. Great analogies you’ve used to explain concepts simply Definitely one to listen to multiple times.

Thanks for rebutting the facts. When you have time I hope you can get to the alfalfa part of my Q after finding that Texas A&M study.

Thanks for the viewing tip, I haven’t seen “The History of Food” and will look for it.

I’ve been in those amazing limestone steady-climate caves in Kansas City. They are pretty amazing and warehouse almost everything you can imagine. The downside to working there (and there are tons of offices) is the lack of any sunlight.

Oh Goodness! @Kathy – Where do I start?

1st, I think my message is getting out because these articles show discussions about protein. But regarding the quality of this information, I would never trust what they say. Anything written by a grain/feed company (Blue Seal) is biased. I need to see the Texas A&M study, but I must get to work right… Read more

In this “human world,” a… Read more

@Olivia.THD – when you have a moment, please update us on the hair loss or if you change the diet again. @Kathy mentioned today that blanket rubbing is possible for your horse’s hair loss. Thoughts?

Could that possibly be from a blanket rub during shedding season? I find that my horses will lose their shedding hair much faster in certain spots where a blanket or a rider’s boot are causing friction, but once the rest of the horses gets around to shedding out all looks even again.

Hi Linda, this is Matt, and I help with the tech side of things. Out of curiosity, is there another online meeting platform you prefer? What is it about the Zoom platform that you don’t want to use/download? I believe there is an option to dial in by phone as well, but it is not as functional as the full Zoom app. If you have ideas on how to… Read more

Question:

Are you as against feeding the straw portion of barley, wheat or oat straw given that it is the part without the seeds? It’s the portion of the grain plant that doesn’t carry the significant proportion of the sugars. So if finding grain free grass or forage is difficult at a particular time of the year, would you recommend feeding… Read more
