[IceHorses] Flygone 7000

2007-06-02 Thread Susan McKenney
I recommended Flygone 7000 to my vet who has a horse with summer eczema, and
she thinks it's great but finds it expensive.  She would like to buy in
quantity and perhaps be a distributor.  Anyone have a contact I can pass on
to her?

Re: [IceHorses] Peppy is in jail

2007-06-02 Thread Pat Grimmer
Oh boy,  I can relate to this Wanda!  I have one (Icelandic gelding) that 
somehow manages to figure out how to get out when he is allowed to be in the 
pasture with the other horses too.  The other horses don't get out with him and 
we have not yet figured out where it is that he gets out.

  Hot wire IS what I have in my pastures...I think he has figured out that 
there is just enough slack in the line that if he ducks and goes really fast, 
he just gets a quick zap and then its over.  He usually doesn't get out until 
they have been in the pasture for a while and the choicest greenery is 
obviously on the other side of the fence.  I hate to have to separate him from 
the herd, but when he gets out he then gets confined to the area where I have 
corral panels.

Let me know if you figure out a reliable way to keep Peppy in that doesn't cost 
an arm and a leg

I believe this must happen in the dead of night.  Dagur has a
beautiful double mane, and it's chopped and ragged and yanked out.  It
might be just a product of the boys wrestling and not caring what they
bite.

If you find a way to put a stop to it...let me know.  Last year,
Dagur's mane was nearly chewed right off.  There were just stubs
left...and it looks like the same thing might be happening this year..

 Wow...according to this article an Icelandic Horse

Doesn't that depend on the horse.  I am not sure
Scooter could carry my husband for long.  He weighs

Wonder if it can be ordered by the gallon?!!  How about just putting it 
in Trausti's mane so the rest don't chew on his mane?  Or all the manes 
being chewed on?

The main ingredient in Bitter Yuck is rosemary extract so I bet if you 
bought a small bottle of pure rosemary oil and diluted it with water in 
a spray bottle, it would go a long way.   It only takes a few 
drops...you can taste it to see how bitter you would like it.

It looked like several had been trimmed today - plus Melnir's tail - I'll have 
to see who isn't getting a haircut, and then I'll know who did it.  Buck gave 
Falki a cute layered shag last year.  For some reason, I suspect it's either 
Landi or Isak doing the work this year, but I'm not sure.

 Melnir is so much fun to ride.   I've had a bum hip for a couple of weeks,
 and he's one of my smaller horses, very easy to ride because of his size,
 gaits, calmness... and just because he's my boy.

your horse is VERY flattering ;)
