- My horse has had a very painful left front hoof. He puts little weight on it. The hoof is draining now at the coronary band. He is walking better. What do I need to do now that the hoof is draining?
- My horse has stopped sweating. She hides in the shade in the pasture, this becomes worse after even a little ridden exercise. I have tried wheat germ oil and cheap beer. What do you suggest?
- My horse has terrible hooves with thin/brittle walls. She also suffers from constant abscesses and/or thrush. I have done so much to try to keep her healthy (including hoof supplements, regular cleaning, trimming, and keeping her stall clean). Right now she gets about 1.5 lb of 10% sweet feed daily and one to two flakes per day as well as pasture time. She is an easy keeper but is not overweight. She is also a well-muscled quarter horse with small feet that I believe lead to a lot of the problem. I was wondering if taking her off sweet feed completely may help, and, if so, should I give her something else? I was wondering about beet pulp. Also, different people have told me to try Safe Choice or Strategy. What do you think about them?
- My horse has white calcifations in both his ears, which make them very tender. Our vet says that there is nothing we can do. Is this true?
- My horse is 15 hands and weighs 455 kg. What should she weigh, and what body condition score should she be at the moment?
- My horse is being boarded in a pasture with a couple of aggressive mares that won't let him eat hay with the rest of them. They continue to chase him away. Is it a bad situation for him? He is a four-year-old gelding. I just purchased him a month ago, and he is not trained. He has not been totally desensitized, and I wonder if his being with these mares will undo any desensitizing that I have done with him.
- My horse is cribbing, mostly after feeding and when eating hay. I read recently that this can be a digestive problem. He is currently being fed a high-fat/high-fiber 8% pellet alfalfa and timothy hay. Should I change his diet?
- My horse is losing hair around around all four hooves. What can cause this, and what is the treatment?
- My horse is really old, and I am trying to put off putting him down, but his teeth are so bad I think it is too painful for him to eat. He is still at a good weight, but he winters really hard, and I can't see this being an easy one for him. Is there any type of feed that would be easier on his teeth?
- My horse knows how to walk and trot. She is four years old and is a Palomino/Dun mix. We have been showing together for two years. She can lope but not on the correct lead. How do I teach her to go on the correct lead?

- My horse seems to be losing weight in the topline area. Why is this?
- My horse stands in the snow for hours. It seems she is losing weight although she eats and drinks water.
- My horse suddenly stopped sweating. We had a hard work on Saturday and Sunday—no sweat. It has been very hot and humid. My veterinarian recommended One AC, electrolytes, and stall rest with fans. Where I live it has been unusually hot and humid, with a heat index of 110. He is only 3 and just started in rigorous training. Is this pattern of overheating on Saturday (he was very sweaty when we were riding), then not sweating on Sunday typical, and will he start sweating again?

- My horse will not eat and has some white foam in his mouth. What could be wrong?
- My horse's fecal egg count came back "0-1, rare, egg count for small strongyles". I deworm only if needed. He was dewormed in the summer with Ivermectin Gold. What should I use this time?
- My horse's hoof is slowly getting a very large red band. She has been lame on and off for about three months now, and most recently, the diagnosis was arthritis. We don't remember seeing this redness growing on her hoof before and wonder if it could be the cause? Is it normal for a hoof to have this? She only has one white hoof, the rest are black. Am I just seeing this because of the color difference in hooves?
- My horses are returning to PA after a winter in FL. While we were gone my barn manager over-fertilized my pastures with 10-10-10. It was applied in early spring. Is it safe to let the horses graze slowly on them?
- My husband wants to plant oats as a "mother crop" for grass. Do horses founder or colic on green, growing oat plants?
- My last question asked about the best grass choices for my pasture. The answer included white and red clover. Aren't clovers toxic to horses? Also, reed canarygrass was recommended, and I thought reed canarygrass was invasive and not very nutritious.
- My maiden mare has just started her ninth month of pregnancy. I've noticed one udder has some swelling and it's hard to the touch. Is this normal? Everything else seems fine and there is no discharge of any kind.
- My mare had a bad reaction to hock injections (upper joint hyaluronic acid, lower joint hyaluronic acid, and cortisone) twice. Both times the hocks swelled and were hot and painful. Should I consider injecting again?
- My mare is in labor. She is passing a large bag that looks as if it is filled with blood. She has been like this for about an hour. What should I do?
- My mare is showing signs of being in season, but when checked, she is not doing anything. Her ovaries are the size of small grapes. Is there anything I can give her to start her cycling?
- My mare seems to be leaking milk, however, she is not in foal and has not been recently. Why is this and what can I do?
- My mare suffers from encysted small strongyle infections. Last winter, her belly was bloated, and her weight generally shifted downward, making her look 10 years older than her young 10 years. The vet did blood work and she showed some kidney stress, so we lowered her protein. Then the vet felt that her problem was encysted small strongyles. We treated her by double dosing Panacur® for five days. She showed amazing changes in a short period of time. It's winter again, and she is showing the weight changes. I rotate dewormers (four times a year) and decided to get a fecal exam before worming, since she was looking different. Sure enough, she tested positive for strongyle eggs. I am assuming it is small strongyles again and wonder if a better way to worm her is available. My husband's gelding is cared for in the same way (except for feed — she gets MoorMan's® ultra fiber-low starch) and does not show any body changes, and his fecal test was negative.
- My mare urinates or squirts every time my daughter rides her in practice and competition on poles and barrels. She has even slowed down so she can urinate when running, and it slows her performance down. We have tried marbles and have now tried an implant. No change other than the mare's attitude and cycles have improved for her. We do not know how to control the urinating issue, as she has just gotten worse in the last two years.

- My neighbors have two horses on about 10 acres. During the winter, they keep the horses confined to a pen that is approximately 25 feet by 25 feet for each horse. That includes a proper three-sided shelter for each horse so they can get out of the elements. The horses are properly fed. My question is this seems awfully cruel to keep these horses in their pen from November to April/May. They seem bored stiff. Is this normal practice in winter?
- My paddocks are smelly. How can I get rid of the odors and associated pests?
- My pony kicks me when I put on the saddle. I just got him, but he has been ridden before. I don't know what to do. I really would like to ride him next spring.
- My pony stands out in the pasture and bobs her head constantly. Her teeth are fine, and it's not from bugs. What could cause this?
- My question is about a horse/child relationship. We just got a mini horse for our son, who is three. They are about the same height. She is showing definite signs of dominance toward him—backing up to him, pinning him between her and the barn, and trying to kick. How do we establish that he is the dominant one?
- My question relates to the incidence of EIA. I am wondering what percentage of tests done are positive? Many horse owners believe that there is no Equine Infectious Anemia around and therefore question the value or logic of testing.
- My six year old Thoroughbred mare's progesterone levels are too low and she has breakthrough heat cycles through pregnancy, so she is not able to carry to term. What can I do to ensure a full term live birth?
- My son was given a horse that was very underfed, about 25 years old and not taken very good care of. How do I feed her to bring her back to proper condition?
- My Standardbred gelding has hives on his neck, ribs, and shoulders. Are acorns toxic and could they be causing this?
- My three-year-old gelding Tennessee Walker's front hooves grow out and twist to the inside. What could be causing this?
- My two-year-old colt jumped out of his 4.5-ft. fence. He was out through the night, but I got him back to the barn with no apparent injuries. He now has an extremely swollen scrotum. I can't get a hand on that area without getting a foot thrown at me, and that is not his nature. He is in a lot of pain. What should I do?
- My wife and I have just signed a contract on a small horse farm. While she has owned horses in the past, neither of us have experience in evaluating a farm, its facilities and design, or in managing a farm day to day.
