Triple Crown Lite
This message is from: Michele Bigelow [EMAIL PROTECTED] From the Triple Crown lite Bag: A pelleted feed to provide minerals and vitamins for horses with restricted grain intake. Fortified to provide protein, essential amino acids, vitamins, trace minerals, macro minerals, bacteria and enzymes. The ingredient and analysis are extensive (and I should be finishing making the math departments algebra final), so I will post the web site and phone number. The folks at this company were very helpful. I am very pleased with the results, as is my farrier (feet have never looked better) and vet (about time they lost some weight). My retired Paint mare consumes 4 lb. a day, and looks as fit as she did when I competed with her years ago. So it is not just for overweight horses, but also easy keepers. www.triplecrownfeed.com 1-800-451-9916 Michele
Re: Triple Crown Lite
This message is from: Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED] I agree with Karen McCarthy, the least made of it the better, but it needs to be addressed most importantly in a timely fashion, I also agree with her description of how they buck the end of the couch-like lift. When I first started riding the Fjords I actually thought it was cute, because it was so un-energy-like I don't think its cute anymore, usually all I have to do is use my voice or a stronger leg and its a one time deal.I have to admit I don't do alot of trail riding, I have a great girl who loves the outdoors and puts the miles on our training horses. I spend 20 min's to 1/2 an hr in the ring with them, depending on what we're doing then their days off from me is with her on the trails. Its a good arrangement, we both like our jobs. Pat and others - How exactly do you handle a buck to get the point across that it is not aceptable?

This message is from: Don Jane Brackett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pat and others - How exactly do you handle a buck to get the point across that it is not aceptable? My mare will occassionally buck if startled or in a really exuberent mood. They are small shrugs and I just push her forward and growl (well, try to growl) Knock it off Osa. She waggles her ears at me and continues forward without fuss. But I sure don't want it to esculate into a real stiff legged buck. Thanks for the input. Jane
Re: Triple Crown Lite
This message is from: Pat [EMAIL PROTECTED] Michele could you write down and message me what the tag on your Triple Crown Lite says. Sounds like an interesting feed, I assume for overweight horses? I've had a couple horses do the head toss, as a matter of fact a mare I just started to the cart today was doing it, I think generally I tend to ignore it unless it becomes a safety issue, I'm fairly certain the other mare did it out of frustration of being made to do something she didn't want, you also might want to check his teeth and I even thought I read an article once about sunlight and horses shaking their heads...can't remember all of that, maybe someone else does. As far as bucking it should never be tolerated even if they feel good, when someone's on their back, again a safety issue.
