Well, I guess we have X's "problem" solved -- I've been giving him the ProBios like the vet told me to do ..... his manure is normal (even when we ride) ...... everything looks OK and the vet has given him a clean bill of health. NOW, it COULD be a combination of neither of us being nervous together anymore ... PLUS the ProBois ...... don't really know but I'm sure happy that he isn't sand colicing or anything (the vet took a sample of his manure and had it checked). Of course we'll never know for sure unless we had him x-rayed ..... but, things have smoothed out and he even LOOKS better now. I hope that's it now. --- * Origin: "Baby" - Gone But NOT Forgotten!!

Of all the states I've lived in I think I -> and CA have been best. I'm willing to try NM and AZ though. I don't like -> shoveling snow. My husband is from CT and was always telling me how great -> having four seasons was and how he wanted to get back to that. He even aid -> that he wouldn't mind shoveling the snow. They sent us to Northern Japan -> where the only thing between us and Siberia was water. He shoveled the snow -> twice then I had to take over. NEVER AGAIN. It averaged 180" of snow a -> year there. BRRRR Shovel snow? Now why would anyone want to do that? I did that when I was a kid but have gotten smart in my old age. I found out that there are people around these days with plows on the fromt of their trucks that like to get up very early in the morning. If you are willing to pay them they will come and push all of that snow right out of your way before you even get in the ower! It snows an average of probably 100 - 120 inches or so here. Now about 80 miles from here is a place called Barnes Corners NY. They normally get about 400 inches a year. I have seen pictures of the place after a big one and it was of a guy standing next to their only traffic light.

Adendum.. got her trimmed today and we found a nail in the hoof (nothing serious nor deep).. and I'm going to play wait and see.. Talked to the vet and she wants to do a full exam... I'd prefer to wait a touch and see if it's needed.
