Our farm is located near Red Deer, Alberta and 2 weeks ago our 2 year old filly came down with Potomac Fever. We just about lost her. It came on very quickly with explosive diarrhea and depression. We watched her for 1 day and then called out the vet. We had ro give her 20 liters of electrolytes by IV along with mega injections of antibiotics several times a day. On the 4th day we added Kayopectate to the other meds. Fortunately she came around and it looks like she is going to be ok. She is her sassy self again. We asked about inoculating agaist Potomac Fever and were told that it is not a common illness and there was no need to do it. Needless to say we will be inoculating the other 3 horses next spring. This illness came be fatal - so it your horses are showing depression, diarrhea, unsure footing and dehydration - please get your vet out. Thankgoodness our little girl looks to be on the mend Sharon Knipe Early Riser Farm Bentley, Alberta

Re: Archives girth strap and stumbling ponies
This message is from: Karen Keith [EMAIL PROTECTED] This stumbling thing is interesting. My gelding stumbles. I'll have to consider saddle placement, as well. Cheers! Karen If you are setting the saddle over his shoulder blades, he is apt to stumble. It will impede the movement of his shoulder blade and affect hisstride.I see a lot of pictures of Fjords under saddle that have the saddles too far forward. _ Sell your car for $9 on carpoint.com.au http://www.carpoint.com.au/sellyourcar

stumbling
This message is from: Janet [EMAIL PROTECTED] the seat on the 4beat saddle, is a 'web suspended, leather ground seat' what ever that means! but seems to suggest the weight must wind up distributed somehow if the rider is not just directly on the bars. It is correct to describe this saddle not as a flexible tree, but as a flexible bar saddle. Janet
