This message is from: "Robert Morgan" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi, In the Equus magazine during the past year or so there have been several articles on 'grass'. One was titled, "Danger in the Grass" the study came from Wales. It was very interesting stating that the sugar level in the grass rises during the day and decreases in the evenings. This had to do mostly with 'cool season grasses'. It stated that people with the smaller breeds of horses that are most susceptible to founder graze their horses late in the evening. Then in January and February 2005 there are the articles dealing with insulin resistance. The articles helped in our management, although I had been limiting the time on grass for a long time, my mustang has the same problem. Once he nearly foundered in January !! In Montana!! One would think the cold would lessen the chances.
Now, would folks be interested in sharing some of their favorite horse sites? We could probably build quite a list from our diverse membership. Just a thought. Bonnie Helena cloudy, some sun, rain since last Wednesday when most areas received over an inch! Hopefully this will slow down the fire season....or give us lots of fuel to when it dries out again.
