Thank you for the response Doc and sorry for the late reply!

I’m planning on having my vet out for spring shots so I will talk to him about her behavior and possible causes as well.

The only grain she’s had since I got her(last July) is in the treats my grandpa gives her. I think he gives her one quarter sized treat every 2 or 3 days or whenever he…

Hello everyone! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to keep mares more comfortable while in heat?

This post probably seems silly to some of you but this is the first mare I’ve owned and I’m not quite sure what to think! My mare is so grumpy and difficult to work with right now and it makes me sad seeing her so unhappy! She’s extremely girthy…

My young mustang yawns every time I feed her. It’s a big sigh relaxing yawn that makes me think she’s stressed up until that point when I feed her. She is on a dry lot(hopefully the grass will pick up and she can start on pasture soon) but she gets feed hay at least three times a day. Of course I would love for her to have hay free choice but…

I know some of you are having issues with getting clean SBM but has anyone noticed an increase in the price? Ever since I started buying SBM, about a year ago, the price had gone steadily up to $8 more than what I first paid per bag. Soybeans are grown pretty easily here in Virginia and I haven’t heard of anything that would increse prices.…

I got my mustang gelding when he was 22 years old. Older, yes, I know, but for my first horse he was exactly what I needed. The first 3 years were easy, he could keep weight just fine on pasture alone and I had no complaints regarding his perfect mustang hooves or his shiny coat. His mane and tail never grew but they were decent enough. His…

Hey everyone! My name is Kaylee. I have a 29 year old mustang gelding, who I believe is a reservation mustang(he doesn’t have the BLM freeze brand), and a BLM Sulphur Springs mustang mare who is 5 years old.

Last year my gelding was really struggling to hold his weight. I tried feeds, supplements, different hays and read everything I could find…
