Reply to A great new option for eye protection
Thanks @SandraC – I saw this at your farm and was really impressed with the construction and, more importantly, your mare’s willingness to wear it. The mask stays away from the face and eye and the amount of air flow prevents the accumulation of sweat. I also liked the way the fly mask fits perfectly over this device preventing flies…

An “end stage tooth” extracted in a senior horse (>26 years old). Teeth erupt continuously throughout life and at some point, in some horses, the tooth just comes out of the socket. In this case the tooth was stuck between two other teeth and needed some gentle persuasion to come out.

Reply to Podcast comment on "Houston..."
Thanks @KarenM for this perspective. I probably would not have revived this subject because of its painfulness for many horse owners, but then the email came from the AAEP.
It is interesting the differences in the generations. I am reading a book on how the brain works and I am starting the chapter discussing the generations of the last century…

Reply to SBM available from Southern States
Southern States SBM is abundant and has been discussed a lot in the FB group. It is produced by Cargill which is the parent company of Nutrena. They have the warning not to feed this as the exclusive feed to horses but our group investigators found that it is the same SBM as in their horse feeds. They just don’t want the horse owners to stop…

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…

Does good nutrition equal a shiny coat?
I’ve seen on Facebook recently, horse owners asking how to get a shiny coat on their horse. Many people have responded with coconut oil or chia/flaxseed. Some say forage is key. What if your horse is getting all of the necessary nutrients and minerals, but doesn’t have a shiny coat? Does that mean they aren’t healthy? I’m not sure why…

Welcome @JulianneR I love this quote from you: “My goal as a horse owner is to keep learning all I can to keep him healthy, sound, and happy into his golden years!” This is exactly the reason for this website and my goal as well. My job is to cut through the misinformation and then translate what is good for your horse in a way we all…

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?
