Welcome Kay!

Tyler is lovely. You will find a lot of information on this site and in our twice-a-month Zoom meetings. Remember to set up your consultation with Doc T. I will be happy to help you with that!

You are welcome! Thank you for being your Horse’s Advocate. Come back any time.

Katherine Williams – is Cushing something that is prone to particular breeds. Thick crested horses. Parts of the country. Feedings throughout a horse’s lifespan?

Carol S. Brewer – I would be interested in an extensive discussion of hay. Here in SC, they have “ coastal” hay which many refuse to feed fearing colic. My barn owner feeds it with a b… Read more

So sorry to see you go, Sandy. Matt will cancel your membership today. If the charge somehow gets through, he will get you a refund.

Hi Liz, Yes Geoff and I had a breeding farm in NY many years ago. Back then when we had broodmares we basically fed the routine oats & sweet feed combo. We always added Calf Manna or soybean meal to our mares and growing horses. Geoff can address this better but we did have issues with foals growing too fast. I have no experience with Growth but… Read more

Great news! And good job notating your observations.

Hi Patrica, (Would you go in and edit your user name so we all know who you are?😉). I think that this fence looks good and sturdy. I can’t see much of the back sides of the bolt but from the one pic, I think I see a length of bolt on the backside. I would get someone to hack that off. It could be a potential danger to a horse’s eye if they were… Read more

Welcome! Thanks for the pics! They are beautiful. Love seeing everyones beautiful horses. And it is always nice to put faces to names. I hope everyone feels will feel safe enough to share here.

I believe it had a good result but I also increased my use of fly bait with about 4 bait stations – using Golden Malrin alternating with Quick Strike.…

Sign up for the live webinar is necessary but the replay will be posted for all members here.

Welcome! Glad to meet you!

This is a very good question. I have never personally had a problem with SBM here in south Florida. I will check my next bag (I just threw one away!) to see where it comes from. Also, I did a search years ago for organic non GMO SBM. I found one place but not sure they ship by the bag. I will try to find it again.

Hi everyone! So excited to welcome you all to this community. It has been a dream of ours for many years.

To introduce myself – I am Geoff’s wife & Matt’s mom.

My main passion is horses. My first experience was on a farm in Ocala, FL where we prepped young horses for the track and sales. While Geoff was in veterinary school I spent my tim… Read more
