Yes Kathy is correct the replay link will be emailed out to those who are registered and it will also be posted here in the first post when it is available. After the call it does take some time to process and upload but should be within a few hours and not more than 24hrs later.

Jenny replied to the discussion Grams of Protein in the forum No Grain Challenge 5 years ago
Thanks for the article, it has given me the nudge I need to increase Jordao’s SBM. He was on 1lb for a couple of months and I’ve gradually increased it to 1.5lbs and was wondering if I could up it some more. He has lost his excess body fat and loves his SBM/ Alfalfa feeds. If he has 2lbs a day that brings his daily protein up to 835gms. The…

Reply to Fly control in the Southeast
Hi Zbear!
Personally I like the shotgun. I keep blasting away. Even though it isn’t very effective, I just feel better afterwards!
This is my way of saying how difficult it is to get flies under control on a horse farm. Let’s start by dividing the farm into 2 areas: inside the barn and outside the barn.
Inside the barn – The most effective…

What is the best way to control those nasty flies this spring and summer? Is it best to use a Rabon type product, Chitin inhibitor feed through, Fly Predators, or ????? I know manure pick up is a great way to control that is difficult to do daily… thanks!!!! also, any tricks to inhibit algae growth in water troughs?

Interesting! I have one horse in my little herd that has had scratches.
He is also the one that is IR (insulin resistant) and has recurring
corneal ulcer problems. Looking forward to Doc T’s article. -
Doc-t replied to the discussion Scratches in the forum Systems And Diseases 5 years ago
I’ll have an article on this by this Sunday evening. In essence, it is an immune suppression issue. For me, this is why only 1 or 2 horses get scratches in a herd turned out in the same environment. Topical remedies are abundant but until the underlying cause is improved, scratches (and rain rot) will continue. It is NOT the environment as…

Hi Lei – thanks for joining this movement to help horse owners find the missing horse owner’s manual. You might not realize this but this membership site is only 2 weeks old! We did a soft launch to work out the kinks (and there were many) and a major launch is coming the end of this month. Think of it this way – you are one of the first to come…

What are your first impressions? Overwhelmed by the design at first. Disappointed that why I joined at this moment had not been covered (looking for thoughts on scratches, the weather here won’t let my horse get dry so looking for some insight)
Describe your feelings with some detail of examples (intimidation, comfort, overwhelm, joy,… -

February 22, 2021
Hello everyone from Nashville, Tennessee! I’m on my final leg of my monthly excursion to some part of the US to work on the teeth of horses. This trip has been a bit of a mess due to winter storms with 3 days spent in a hotel room in states where they own no snow plows or salt.
Thankfully I’ll be heading south later today…

Hey everyone! Next Sunday at 8PM I’ll be hosting a Zoom meeting for members only (that’s you). I think I’ll talk about aerobic exercise and it’s role in insulin resistance. What do you think? Too much? Just right? There will be a Q&A after it and it will be recorded (if we remember to make that happen).
Matt will be posting the link soon.…

5pm UK time is much better for me, maybe you could vary the time from month to month? A recording of next Sunday’s would be excellent, it’s an interesting topic. Could we submit a written question is we can’t join the meeting?

Welcome Jax. Good to see you here! Are you in Italy? Did you take that pic of the Roman Forum? What a beautiful and ancient city Rome is. I was there many years ago.

Thank you ! Sorry about the horrible tardiness of my reply; I am still stuck in Trinidad at the moment just reminiscing on a beautiful memory. It really is, got the chance to go during a study abroad trip.

I heard from a client yesterday as I worked on her 26 year old horse just how well this horse was doing on SBM. She reminded me of one more point to add to the SBM story – how much SBM should a horse be ingesting per day?
The human range is 0.5 to 1.0 g per pound of ideal body weight. Body builders know this and use the 1g/lb as their target.…

Reply to Dried coconut as a treat?
In the near future I’ll be writing and podcasting on the effects of excess sugar in horses extrapolated from human research. It is critical to understand. I think the title will be, “How can my healthy looking horse be so unhealthy?”
Knowing what I know now – and that is changing even as early as this morning – excess sugar, especially in…
