Re: Do you know this mare?

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When our list members tell us to go to a picture site, is there any way to have assurance we are not picking up more advertising (spam)? I am inundated with it already. Steve has a good program to stop it but picking up more is a pain.

This message is from: "Bob Stahr of THS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> There was once a happy little fly buzzing around a barn one day, when she happened upon a large pile of fresh cow manure. Since it had been hours since her last meal and she was feeling hunger pangs, she flew down to the irresistible del

Re: white stuff in cleft of frog

This message is from: "Jean Gayle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Seems to me some horses have deep clefts of the frog and others hardly any. Unless you get into the depth of the frog all the lotions do not work. When the farrier works on the hoof you can usually smell the infection. Like a long dead critt

RE: white stuff in cleft of frog

This message is from: "Skeels, Mark A (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I think it may be one of the stages of thrush. Thrush also has a black pasty stage. The smell is part of it. I usually carve it out with a hoof knife and spray lysol or a thrush spray on it. I think it is mostly due to the horses bei

This message is from: Debbie Treydte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Lars has a little bit of white crumbly material in the cleft of his frog on one foot. It is only in one cleft. What is this? It has little odor. It isn't thrush. Has anyone seen this before? Should I be worried? Deb

Re: When to geld

This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Our gelding who is now almost 10 years old, and who we have owned for two years, was gelded when he was 3 1/2 years old, and my personal feeling is: "that is way to late," as he is a real pain when our two mares (1 arab, 1 QH) come in heat. He will l

Finally, at 11:00 p.m. last nite, Ashwood Mona presented us with a lovely colt, the first boy out of our Stallion "Bodil", and he came prepared for our mix bag of weather, with a long coat of hair. It was our first Spring like day between the Snow, Rain & Hail. We received 6" of Snow last Su
