    Filly is acting dominant towards mare

    I witnessed an interesting situation this morning while out graining our 3 horses. We have a old gielding, a 10-12 year old morgan mare and her 3 year old filly. The girls are always glued to each other all the time. It always seemed our older morgan mare was always the dominant, "in charge"...

    Question about Timothy Hay & Horses

    We ran out of our round baled hay for our 4 horses and since it's the middle of the week, we will be unable to get more until this weekend. Which means we had to buy some expensive square baled hay from the local farm store...it was about 3 or 4 times more expensive than what we typically pay...

    Need tips/suggestions for dog's dry skin!

    Does anyone have any tips/suggestions to help our dog's dry skin issues? The weather here has changed, it's cold outside equaling dry air inside. Our 90 lb Lab mix has been very itchy ever since the weather changed and he's up to date on his flea treatments, etc...so we know it's not that...

    Dog bite or something else??

    I'm wondering if you could help me figure out what this is and what I should do (if anything) about it... Today I noticed right before leaving for a appointment, that my 10 year old mutt had a swollen lip/cheek area. So I felt it...warm to the touch and hard and swollen. I pulled it up to look...

    Question for dog people: Why is my dog shaking her head?

    It's 5am...my med sized beloved mixed breed female who's 10 yrs old, woke my hubby and I up (VERY unlike her) by shaking her head every so often (the noise of her collar/tags when she shakes). She's had ear infections off and on in the past...always related to allergies. She's also been bitten...

    AGAIN!!!

    I can't believe this...it's deja vu all over again. I went out to the barn this morning to feed the horses...instantly noticed my old gielding's eye was swollen and he was holding it closed. My heart sank when I got a better look at him...here we go again, another horse, another eye problem...

    Korean Lespedeza Hay & horses...Is it ok?

    Hi there. Anyone familiar w/KOREAN LESPEDEZA HAY and horses? The guy who sometimes supplies our hay told us today he has some hay for sale w/this in it. He said he doesn't know how horses would do on it but just wanted to tell us he has hay w/it for sale. We share the same vet, so I plan on...

    Attn: Horse people...Teeth floating question

    Just curious, at what age does a horse need their teeth to be floated? I've heard it's not necessary w/all horses, anyone know if that's true? And what are the signs to watch for, for when it's time? I know one sign is if food is falling out of the mouths excesively...anything else?

    Update: Filly with Eye Infection...long, sorry!

    Hi guys. Here's the update... I've had the most exhausting, stressful day ever. Well, the vet came out. First of all, my little sweet filly was not acting very sweet. They had to sedate her, when that didnt work, they had to halter her, then twitch her, then it took 2 men to hold her. Wow. What...

Went out to feed the horses/goats this morning...found my sweet little 4 mo buckskin filly w/a very nasty eye infection.

    Clover in Hay...safe for horses/goats to eat??

    I just got a new batch of grass square bales for my horses and Pygmy goats, yesterday. I opened up one bale last night...looked just fine to me. The guy did tell me there might be some Alfalfa mixed in too and possible some clover. I dont know much about clover...as far as if it's safe for my...

    Problem w/Filly or just my imagination?

    Our filly will be 3 mos old pretty soon. When she was born, she had low immunity levels which caused the Vet concern, so we watched and tended to her closely. We kept her and her mother in a small isolated lot until she was about 7 weeks old...when the Vet said it would be safe to introduce her...

    Anyone have any experience w/Collic in horses????

    Does anyone on here have any experience with Collic in horses? This evening I was up at the barn, fed everyone as usual including my filly (she's almost 2 years old) and as usual she gobbled up every last bite of grain. I went about my chores, about 15 minutes later I noticed she was looking...

    Baby Robin in our backyard...where are his parents?

    Ok, this doesnt really fit in the "pet & livestock" catergory, but I found a little baby Robin in my back yard this afternoon. So I pulled the dogs indoors (luckily they hadnt discovered him yet) and have been listening to him "talk" and call for mom & dad ever since. Every so often, I have gone...

    What do you do for a living? Anyone work w/animals for a job???

    What does everyone do for a living on this board??? Just curious. I am a pet sitter (of course since I am a huge animal lover) and although I wish it paid more (with gas prices that kind of puts a dent in it in a major way) it's a fun job to have. I wouldnt call it a "career" as I dont make...
