RE: [IceHorses] Re: teev flanks
Hi Kaaren, >>They even have an Icelandic Mineral & Vitamin powdered mix formulated especially for the needs of the Icelandic horse, also free choice. I will have to try the MOP next time I order minerals. I am also going to add free choice Kelp again as an option. I do have Redmond Salt - loose salt but have come to realize that the way our horses scrap the salt block with their incisors actually helps wear them down so we don't have to do much incisor work with those horses. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com
[IceHorses] Re: teev flanks
Advanced Biological Concepts has an array of mineral powders that you leave out "free choice" so the horses can take what they need as well as an awesome loose salt & an herbal+ pro-bi mix called MOP that's an excellent de-tox in case they get into something in their hay or pasture. They even have an Icelandic Mineral & Vitamin powdered mix formulated especially for the needs of the Icelandic horse, also free choice. I love the fact that anyone can buy from ABC..no memberships/no multi level marketing/ no minimum orders & they take phone or on-line orders. Robyn Hood recommended them to me 14 years ago when we bought our first Icey . I think the horses prefer to choose what they need based rather than top dressed whether they need it or not. It's a lot more economical that way too. Kaaren

Re: [IceHorses] Walter Feldmann
Niels West, the breeder of our two mares was working on the same thing. Although I thought it was encouraging that a man in his 90's would want to develop a new breed, he had wonderful Icelandics and I couldn't quite see the point. Our Tosca, 3/4 Icelandic, 1/4 Peruvian Paso, is the result of one of his crosses. She's quite a nice mare, good mind, good learner, nice mover, but at ths point I still prefer the purebred Yrsa.

RE: [IceHorses] teev flanks
Hi Nancy - Wanda I have seen horses break ice in troughs and drinking holes. We have an automatic waterer that has a ball - it sometimes gets slightly frozen and the horses knock it with their foot. Some of them take their foot and hold the ball down and to the side so they don't have to push it with their noses. I still break ice when I see it and take it out of the bucket or trough if there is no heater. Robyn Icelandic Horse Farm Robyn Hood & Phil Pretty Vernon BC Canada www.icefarm.com

> Dogs are amazing... The vet called last night. He said, "She's one tough little dog." But he didn't hold out a lot of promise.

He said that if it was a cat, then their mouths contain "stuff" that makes infection more likely and the wound was full of grass and dirt and debris.
