Hey Y’all! I’m finally home with about a week more of floating before I take time off from going to barns. While it is technically a “vacation,” I’ll be at the computer doing things to enhance the experience here. Kathy, Matt and I have a bunch of ideas. But is there anything specific any of you would like us to add to this site?

A 2 string bale is about 40 pounds so 50 bales to the ton (2000 pounds). At least that was the way when they started baling hay regularly back in the 1960’s. This is because hay was sold by weight and usually by the ton. Now the weight of a bale can vary considerably and are sold by the bale. As late as the 1990’s I bought hay out of the field…

@Rosie What is a “scoop?” This denotes a volume and there are an infinite number of sizes or volumes for scoops. For example, there is a small scoop in my coffee jar and there is a very large scoop on the excavator outside.It is always important to measure food intake by weight and not volume. This will take into account density. For…

What makes a horse have “squirts” – what the profession now calls FFW or Fear Fecal Water – is the inappropriate bacteria in the gut being fed food that causes their overgrowth. This occurs in humans and horses when there is not a broad diversity of gut bacteria. This is especially common in older horses with chronically inflamed…

What makes a horse or human “gassy” is the production of gas by inappropriate bacteria in the gut being fed food that causes their overgrowth. This occurs in humans and horses when there is no a broad diversity of gut bacteria.
The best way to correct this is to remove all inflammatory ingredients (grain, grain by-products, treats, supplements…

Reply to Psyllium on the no-grain diet?
Psyllium is basically the soluble fiber cell walls of some dicots and all grasses. It is found in the hulls of the genus Plantago seed that are ground up into a powder. Within this structure of fiber (called xylan) can be found a clear, colorless, gelling agent called mucilage. When mucilage is exposed to water, it can swell up to 10 times…

Reply to Because I'm clearly not spending enough money...
I attended a conference last night that discussed leaky gut where they associated that with “leaky brain.” They said the blood-brain barrier is also leaking when the gut barrier is leaking and that is the reason for the behavior you state here (and we have associated with gut inflammation). I might agree with this. Now for their reasoning…

What do you think is causing the “Dark Remy?” The image looks like a well formed top line on him. Do you think this is associated with SBM?
