Dear Friends: I have never had this problem before. I bought about 12 bags of sweet feed about a month and a half ago. I opened one of the bags today and it has weevils in it! Can anyone tell me: 1. Did the weevils likely come IN the bag from the feed store or did they come from my place? 2. Will it...

I let my vet, Dr. P, know what I was feeding Bri, she said that was OK. Here's the article she wrote for Horse Illustrated on Cushing's Disease: http://www.horsechannel.com/horse-health/equine-cushings-disease-24321.aspx She only gets 1/2 flake of alfalfa a day. Her grain, Integrity Lite, is...

[quote user="walkinthewalk"] That is a great article and I copied the link over to my local messge board. Now that I have an EMS horse and realize how subtle and insidious Cushings can be, I am trying to raise awareness. Dr.Posnikoff must feel your horse isn't in the severe Cushings category...

I've heard of feeding garlic to repel flies, but how much? Also has anyone ever heard...

I also have some picky hay eaters in the age ranges you mention. In fact your horses sound like they are my horses! I live in a state where hay is so dear that I had to do something. I put everyone's hay either up in a bag or in a feeder. I use bags instead of nets because there is way less danger...

We have just moved back to Utah where we lived a long time ago. My horse, Briahna, won't be here until next week. I've got the opportunity to keep her in a pasture of a friend of ours. She's got Cushing's, but it's controlled by a daily dose of pergolide and her diet. She'll be...

Practical Horseman just did a story on this in the September issue (Health Update, p. 16). In a nutshell, the six substitutes outlined are bagged, chopped forage; hay cubes; hay pellets; "complete" feed; beet pulp; and soybean hulls.
