Why take her off of a high quality protein source and replace it with kelp? Please explain. And also remember that goiter is common in horses fed kelp as an iodine source.
I also want to apologize for never writing about scratches. To me, scratches are a reflection of a horse with a high degree of body inflammation. I seem to be able to…

Reply to Iron in mined salt blocks?
Thanks @JulianneR and @KarenM – here is a long answer.
The hoof is mostly protein and with chronic protein deficiency, I would think the farriers, trimmers and veterinarians would be focusing on amino acid replacement rather than discuss minerals where there is no outward evidence of a mineral deficiency. The concern about minerals has come…

Reply to Does good nutrition equal a shiny coat?
I see a lot of horses with poor hair coats and almost all of them have a poor diet. Then I see a lot of horses with a “shiny” hair coat who are also on a poor diet. It is confusing. I then hear all the “remedies” people use to improve the hair coat including a lot of rubbing (no diet supplements). More confusion.
One of the first thing seen in…

The PDCAAS method (Protein Digestibility Corrected Amino Acid Score) is used in the study you linked to. As this was only an abstract, there are a lot of questions raised that the full article may or may not address. First question is what is the PDCAAS method?

Reply to Rounds With Doc T - "Trailering Horses - On The Road Again" - 2021 July 26th
I agree. Tires are usually rated by miles driven on them but there is also an age expiration. It seems costly to replace a tire that “looks good” but in reality, replacing them after a period of disuse is important.
Having “more truck than trailer” is a safety consideration especially with mountain driving. You will recoup the cost when you…
