My farrier says his horse is allergic to soy. Can you try the hemp meal, is it available to you?

Hi Doc T. Thanks for making this webinar available for post attendence.

As you said, one of the ways to treat itchy skin is to keep flies at bay/away. Most commonly, we use fly sprays directly on the horse.

Since doing your nutrition course where you share the info about the microbiome of the horse and in particular, the holobiome, won’t… Read more

        24hr update.

Praline didn’t rub at all during the day yesterday. Came in from pasture to her night shelter /camp with no new rubs anywhere.

@AngelaM…. Sounds like you have the ultimate agility track made for you ;). Look forward to hearing your progress and seeing some photos.

Thank you Dinah-I think I am on the right track then-I use the dirt bike jumps that my husband made for little hills. And we hand walk over different surfaces-I should add the ground poles though. It will be 5 months with the diet before I try riding again (just based on winter here) so I am very interested to see how that goes-of… Read more
