Re: [IceHorses] Icehorses sweating
http://www.taktklar .de/taktklar/ documents/ 18082000- 01.htm can you give me the gist? So in conclusion, the horse has more normal concentration of sweat glands around the neck. Thats the veggie tray to the insects. The dessert tray is under the belly and between the back legs where the sweat is concentrated and in warm or humid climates, the sweat stays in its sticky form longer, thus irritating the skin which then you see the sores develop. Thats probably why washing that area then covering with SWAT or other barrier type topical seems to help, as well as fans or windy days to keep insects away and to dry off the sweat faster. Ashley

[IceHorses] Fjord crosses for adoption
_www.theanimalifarm.com_ (http://www.theanimalifarm.com) Now I am a PMU adoption person, I adopted a horse two years ago raised him and sold him to a good home. He was a QH colt. I have a friend that is adopting a Fjord x Percheron I believe. Here is the link to anyone that is interested. My horse was great and sound a beautiful. I bought him direct from the farmer in Canada and then when they had a full load of colts and fillies they shipped at six months. I bought him as a new born from a picture on the website. My colt got over 15 hh and was still growing at two. After I gelded him he sprouted like a giraffe. I gelded him at two. Now the cross that is what my friend is adopting will not get but 14 to 15 hh. This is not where I bought my colt but this is where my friend is buying her filly..Sylvia ** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
Re: [IceHorses] Icehorses sweating
i would guess sweating, because sweating attracts gnats, right? smelliness attracts gnats. a moist environment attracts gnats. Because even when not sweating my horse's eyes attract gnats, and their sheathes. Where things are moist and also can be smelly :) Janice Actually, if my very novice reading of this article is right, this guy did biopsies of the skin of icelandics and found that some have fewer sweat glands in their skin, which is a great survival mechanism if you live in a really cold place like Iceland since less sweating means better warmth. These are the horses which tend to not sweat alot when ridden on long rides, you'll see them panting rather than deep breathing when they get hot or have been ridden on long rides, and they tend to sweat most heavily in the neck area. The fewer sweat glands means that when they do sweat, it is more concentrated with all the things in sweat, and it is more attractive to insects and also tends to irritate the skin of the horse, so you have 2 issues to deal with when these horses are moved to live in warmer climates where there are more bugs, and the skin stays wetter (humid areas). He goes on to talk about a product Dinoprost that when given to a horse makes it sweat. A horse not prone to summer excema would be sweating heavily in 5 minutes(normal concentration of sweat glands) and a horse prone to summer excema would sweat mainly in the neck area in about 20 minutes. He says the application of this Dinoprost is inexpensive and quick way to determine likelihood of developing summer excema before exportation. Ashley

[IceHorses] Re: Pleasant Hill, OR 25 yr old Mare NEED HELP
Yes, it is a shame that all horses on the planet can not be assured of getting caring treatment until the end of their lives. Even in affluent, Santa Ynez , Calif.. I have seen quite a few older horses go through a slow, neglected decline because of circumstances beyond the control of the families that brought them into their lives. It wasn't bad enough that the ASPCA could get involved, but neglect none-the-less. Divorce occured, tragic cases of job loss, cancer etc in some..just busy lives with children grown up moved on in others. It is a warning to us all to put aside a fund for each of our horse's the day we buy them that won't be touched no matter what. If you forego 1- 2 weekly lattes @$3.00 for 20 years, that would be enough to tide your horse's extra care over for the last 5 or so or to go to a rescue agency for their care if all else fails. If the horse passes on before you need to dip into it, then it is your new horse fund. I personally feel that it'a a far kinder solution to euthanize an older horse IF all other placement options have been exhausted than to let them suffer neglect or worse..being passed place to place until they perhaps end up in the sales yard which guarantees an end in a US slaughter house if they are lucky (Juarez if they are not!!).

Re: [IceHorses] Re: Pleasant Hill, OR 25 yr old Mare NEED HELP
We have a friend who recently retired from a long career of teaching jumping to little girls. Leslie had a wonderful string of hunter/jumpers, many of them quite up in years. I never talked with her about what she actually did when she retired, but about a year ago she said she would be having the horses put down because she couldn't guarantee the level of care for that many elderly horses. And on that same note, we just bought a very young African Grey parrot and I have already arranged for her future and plan to leave a small trust for her care. She will surely outlivew us both, unless we live to be 110 or so. Nancy

That makes me wonder if Scooter is for sure imported. Lorraine the way to tell if they are imported is to go out in winter and instead of feeding them grain or hay or anything, just put some dried herring out on the ice for them and if they wolf it down, they are imported. has to be herring, dried, not pickled. Pickled gives them bad breath. Tivar is from california and he will not eat the herring i put out in his water bucket when it freezes, but he likes nut mix with dates and sunflower seeds. nasi is from texas and he does not like herring but he likes dried beef jerky. My mccurdys are from alabama and they like dried pig entrails. Jaspar is from florida and hates herring but loves smoked mullet. Herring and mullet have a lot of omega three fish oils in them which is good for their skin. Thats why icelandic horses in iceland dont have any skin problems, they eat a lot of fish oils in the herring. when they come here they develop skin problems because here its just not within our culture to feed dried fish to horses in winter when the skin is dry from the wind and cold and dry winter air. Sometimes you can buy cod liver oil and smudge it into the skin or put it in their grain if they will tolerate it. nasi and Tivar hate cod liver oil. But nasi seems to like the way it makes him smell! Janice-- yipie tie yie yo
