When I bought Frodo he had rubbed out almost all the white hairs in his tail at

So sorry to hear about your mare's injury; I hope she heals up OK.
Be careful if you are the one holding up her leg - I developed a bad

Hello all!
I need to chime in here on this mane/tail question. I noticed the other

Karen so sorry to hear about your emergency. I hope I can assure you with a
similar case - a friend of mine's appaloosa became inexplicably lame suddenly.

Both of my previous horses had flaky, itchy tails at times. The vet
