Re: Loose stools
This message is from: jern...@mosquitonet.com There is a product called Ration Plus which I have used with great success: Ration Plus Restores the digestive system to proper balance. Supplies Lactobacillus acidophilus, a natural prebiotic, to the digestive system where it provides vital nutrients to the beneficial bacteria found there. This helps to establish a healthy balance of digestive microflora. As balance is restored, your horse can better utilize his feed, leading to a multitude of health benefits, including weight gain, reduction of stomach upsets and diarrhea, reduction of low-grade ulcers and colic, reduction of hay belly, increased stamina and improved hoof, skin and coat quality. Each bottle is approximately an 80 day supply. A bottle cost about $27, KV vet, Vally vet, etc. Jean in Fairbanks.

Re: sale of horses, Private Treaty
This message is from: ruth bushnell fjo...@frontiernet.net what the heck does Private Treaty mean. I missed the original post. Private Treaty is not at all an uncommon practice in the horse market. It simply means that the 'seller' and 'purchaser' will work out the details between themselves and not publish them. (just as with selling a house, or car, or..) This practice is especially common when a breeding horse is sold as there will often be a contract drafted along with the sale, representing both parties. It might include some restrictions, eg: number of times the horse may reproductively be used, kinds of mates not used, etc. It might include some stipulation for the offspring, require their registration, or maybe a buy-back clause if transferred, etc. It allows for dicker space with a party of your choice, rather than a flat price for one and all.. as you might not want to sell to one John Doe. There are unlimited possibilities for crafting a deal in favor of the horse.

Re: sale of horses, Private Treaty
This message is from: Karen Keith kkke...@hotmail.com Dont claim to be smarter than Fred, but I did go looking on Google. Here's what it says at http://horses.about.com/od/glossaryofhorsetermsp/g/privatetreaty.htm Definition: A private treaty is an agreement or contract between a buyer and a seller or between a stallion and a mare owner. The agreement is made directly between the parties involved. Breeders or sellers may wish to use a private treaty when they offer different terms for different situations. For example, a breeder may offer their stallion's services to purebreds, part-breds orgrade mares, or mares of a specific type or bloodline at different rates. This allows the stallion owner some control over the type of mares they will breed their stallion too. Mares that they favor may be serviced at a lower cost to the mare owner, than those they consider a less desirable match for their stallion. I guess the partbred and grade mare stuff doesn't apply to fjords, but you get the idea. Different terms for different situations. Karen, No. VA My answer is only a guess: Private Treaty...asking and selling price not revealed?? Now, somebody smarter than I am: answer the question...

RE: Loose stools
This message is from: Debbie LeBreton tippiegi...@hotmail.com Hi; Could you please tell me the symptoms that made you know that it was gastic olcers? Thank you Debbie From: weeg...@hotmail.com To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: RE: Loose stools Date: Mon, 7 Jan 2013 05:01:00 + This message is from: Karen McCarthy weeg...@hotmail.com I came in a bit late to the conversation here but I was wondering if you have talked w/ you vet about gastric ulcers? They are so much more common than you would think. I have a TB mare I am caring for that I rescued in November who had them. It was pretty easy to diagnose w/ her as she presented the full repetoire of symptoms w/o hesitation, unlike our more stoic Fjords. We started out by giving her Ulcer Gard paste (at a discounted rate of $28 a tube!!) The active ingredient is Omprazole (active ingredient in Prilosec for human ulcers ) and then 2 weeks into treatment we switched to a product that was donated to us by the manufacturer, Ulcer Cure OTC which has the same % of Omprazole as Ulcergard, but comes in powder form. A one month supply is $150. The only caveat is that you must store it at the correct temp, close to 77°, as the Omprazole is fairly unstable. http://ulcercureotc.com/Hope this helps, Karen in snowy Oregon :: Karen McCarthy :: Great Basin Fjords :: Madras, Oregon :: Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l Important FjordHorse List Links: Subscription Management: http://tinyurl.com/5msa7e FH-L Archives: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw FH_L Shirts: http://tinyurl.com/8yky94l
RE: Loose stools
This message is from: Karen McCarthy weeg...@hotmail.com Debbie, The horse that has the ulcers here on our farm is a thoroughbred. She was found severely injured next to the highway that bisects the upper part of our farm. Due to the meds she was on for the injuries and her body score of 2, plus her rough coat, she also ground her teeth a bit, didn't clean up all her food (or is a really slow, picky eater) and she had some colic like symptoms. As soon as we got her going on the ulcer gard she started improving. I put her on it Nov 14th and a week ago we were all out of ulcer meds. So far, so good...I hope.I know Fjords are quite a bit different and their stoic natures can often conceal what we take as symptoms in another breed of horse.Karen :: Karen McCarthy :: Great Basin Fjords :: Madras, Oregon :: From: tippiegi...@hotmail.com To: fjordhorse@angus.mystery.com Subject: RE: Loose stools Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 03:19:01 + This message is from: Debbie LeBreton tippiegi...@hotmail.com Hi; Could you please tell me the symptoms that made you know that it was gastic olcers?

RE: Fjord Relo Help Wanted
This message is from: S Sexton ssext...@hotmail.com Hi All,Well, I drove down to San Antonio area Saturday and have been staying with family here. The weather has been lovely (as compared to southern kansas) but the locals keep commenting that it is cool or cold, or chilly. It's been close if not 60 degrees down here. Oh to suffer so in winter :) LOL I have found the rocky geological issue to be a bummer as I also like to garden and I can imagine the hassles there and also the issues when trying to set fence posts. For those unfamiliar, there are areas where the rock is right up to the surface if not just beneat a few inches of dirt here - very common in this swath where I am now. It means they don't have basements, they have flash flood/runoff issues and the gardening/fence post, etc type issues. I am headed to the Waco area to stay over with a friend for a day or so, probably around Wednesday. I'm told it isn't as rocky up there (about 3 hrs north roughly) and it shouldn't be too much colder overall, maybe 5-10 degrees depending on elevation and such. I'm considering a trip to Phoenix to see family there next, but I do think I'd miss the green grass eventually. I know they irrigate some and they can water for yards/lawns, but I just love the sight of a vast green pasture rolling along as far as the eye can see... maybe I have to suffer more winter to have that, dunno. Wichita is looking better and better some days, ha ha.
