0:01:39 – Connecting With Horses – I am spending this week with Melissa and two students learning Horsemanship Dentistry. In this segment, I discuss how we connect with a horse within 30 seconds, not 30 minutes or 30 days. I’ll grant that these are not “wild” horses, but what we do is a bit out of their comfort zone. This is all about… Read more

Yes, soaking the hay removes all free sugar, which is at the root of insulin dysregulation and is present in horses with “tender feet” and certainly with laminitis.
The starting point for SBM is 1 pound (16 oz) per 1200-pound horse. 800 pounds is 2/3’s of 1200, so 2/3’s of 16 oz is about 11 oz. However, that would be the minimum to add to… Read more

I looked up the date…added soybean meal 12/02/22, and, yes, my farrier has commented on the good hoof growth. Wren’s feet have improved.
However, I just started soaking hay last night. Both seem to love it soaked! I’ll survive. It’s getting warmer in SC.
I’ve monitored his pasture time but never unsoaked hay. Soaking hay could make a… Read more

Welcome Wren, and thanks for bringing along your caregiver! LOL, thank you Linda for finding and implementing the information I have here. It’s exciting, but also frustrating, to see positive results with so simple a concept.
I did not see that you were adding soybean meal (SBM). If you have, then be patient as the hoof needs at least a year… Read more

I have a 17 year old POA gelding that I discovered has chronic Lyme’s disease. He is currently in a flare up and is back on doxycycline. Any suggestions in managing this to reduce flare ups.

Hi and thanks for asking this question. I’m between barn calls on a busy day. Give me a moment to get back to you on this.
In the meantime, would you copy and paste your question onto a new discussion in the “System and Diseases” forum? This will help others find this topic.
Is there another name you would like to use other than… Read more -
I’ll probably suggest improving the immune system and the best way to do this is to remove inflammatory ingredients and add high-quality protein. So in your discussion, please add information such as his use and his feeding protocol. Thanks!

Hello, my name is Linda. Wren is actually my Morgan’s barn name. He’s the reason I’m here. I have a dream of driving him in combined driving events…if I can only make him well. This year, I scribed for two driven dressage judges, and both suggested I look at The Horses Advocate.
Wren has a history of ulcers, problems with vaccines,… Read more

Doc T, my question for tonight is for our boarder’s horse. What is the best way to stop weaving/pacing in the stall? We have the mare outside as much as possible. She is a PMU horse. Hope you have some suggestions. Thanks!
