Judymae, Did your horse start losing hair right after you de-wormed your horse? I only ask this because my vet told me that sensitive horses have side effects from the Zimectrin Gold. That's why I don't use it. My horse seems to have had the same issues your horse did/does. Although, he...

Could it possibly be cushings? Is she shedding at all or will the hair only come out when she is rubbed or pulled? I don't really know. What about allergies? You can look it up on the web. Maybe you can find a site about a horse with hairloss. Good luck.

Did you take any pictures? Would love to see them.

This is Bo, my 18 yr old QH. This is the best picture of him right now. Behind him is our mini horse Scout. Scout a little closer look. Checking out the snow for the first time.

How do you get the pictures to the post? I'm rather new at this.

OUCH is right!!! That is going to really hurt for a while. That is one nasty bight. Biting is really bad and you can't let him get away with that. You have to show him YOU are boss. When my horse acts up with the farrier, the farrier will jab him really hard in the gut a few times. Hard enough...

You should have your vet check your horses teeth once a year. This way you know if they need to be floated or not. When I got my horse I was told he was a hard keeper. Tried weight gain and other products that didn't work. He was somewhat of a rescue horse. He was under weight badly. Well, no...

Hi, I saw that same ad. That little guy is the cutest! Uh..... I wish I could have a mini donkey like that.......lol. My husband and I talk about it all the time. One of these days. I actually wrote the people telling them how cute we thought he was. Good luck to you if you do get him. He...

Ashmeade is right about the behavior change. Once your horse feels better he just might be a different horse. You want to keep an eye on that. I'm sure he will be a very nice horse but when animals don't feel well they aren't there true selves. A great way to bond is just to spend time with...

We bought a carport. Had the 2 sides enclosed. Since it was to expensive to enclose the other two sides we built a wall and door on back side and left the front side open. It's a 20 x20 run in shed/barn. It works great. Last weekend we built a 5 x 8 stall for our mini in there. My large horse...

MissDanni, When I got my horse he was very skinny. He was also called a hard keeper. A woman bought the horse and planned on nursing hiim back to health. Ended up that I rescued him from her. He is a 16 h quarter horse and was 15 yrs. old at the time. From what you have discribed my horse was...

There is a chart provided by the company that makes the dewormer Quest/Ivermectin etc.... It should be hanging on the shelf right there with the product. Its a seasonal deworming according to what bugs are out there in your area. Ask the clerk to find it for you. We stick to this rotation...

Today I built a large version of a cookie tin heater for my horse's water bucket. I used the top 1/3 of a steel 55 gallon drum, mounted a ceramic lamp socket on a 2x4 flat and fastened it inside the drum with the bulb facing up, added a short cord and plug, installed a 200 watt bulb and set the...

Understanding Beet Pulp as an Equine Feed by: Eric Haydt September 07 2009 Article # 14812 Beet pulp has been a popular feed for horses for years without many people really knowing why. Beet pulp is a byproduct of the sugar beet industry and is predominant in the upper Midwest, Michigan...

Sorry for the long post about beet pulp but it needed to be said. Too many myths and too many people willing to believe them.
