Thank you @JulianneR for this update. You must be excited to hear these independent observations as they help to validate your decision to take Remi in this direction.

This adds to my collection of others who have also seen these changes happen. I am truly grateful for this and am humbled when anyone becomes a messenger to others and… Read more

Here is the Wikipedia link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hay_steaming.

Here is the quote from that post: “Also the post-soak liquid from soaked hay is classed as an environmental pollutant as it has a high biological oxygen demand. A prolonged soak has been shown to produce a post-soak liquid 9 times more polluting than raw sewage[7] and… Read more

@Emily – Thank you for this intriguing observation. This sounds so exciting! for Bandit (and you)!

Also, thank you @Sandy_K for your reply as I too would caution to keep observing the eyes for problems.

Chronic tearing, crusting and ulcerations of the cornea needs an underlying cause. Both of these conditions can be associated with… Read more

Thanks for taking the time to give this very clear observations of your horses on no grain and no inflammatory ingredients plus SBM.

Even though I often hear testimonials like this I still get excited when I hear them – and so grateful that more horses are experiencing an improved life through your efforts.

Of course, you know what the price… Read more

Great idea!

I like the idea of recycling the water – important where restrictions are used (not here in south FL where it rained 2 inches just yesterday). Another reason is that if you drain the water in one spot you will either get mud or a permanent rust spot on the concrete (definitely here in FL).

This is FANTASTIC! Thanks for this. If possible, can you take pictures of the frame out of the water (unless it is flat as seen here)? How much does the pipe structure weigh (obviously enough to keep the bale submerged). Also add some info on the timer used and where people could get it.

You are in California but will you get freezing… Read more

I attended a seminar on molds in pastures and hay a few days ago. At the Q&A I asked about molds in soaked hay. The woman in the UK (Meriel Moore-Colyer) who also is a spokesman for HyGain hay steamers said that reports show that molds are actually reduced after soaking hay BUT they will increase soon afterwards (hours?).

My advice then is to…

Hi Chaela – my heart goes out to this pony!

Laminitis and fat pads would be the primary concern as this represents Equine Metabolic Syndrome (EMS). Add to this depression and “swollen eye lids” and you have some added parts to this.

My question is this – how does a pony get EMS if all she eats is forage? The answer is in this. Remember that…
