AP :>whats this got to do with horses???????????????????????? Quite a lot...if you know anything about horses and riding, you'll know that keeping oneself in shape makes for a much better rider.

JP :> That's what the vet said ... the flu -- but he never JP :>got the snotty/runny nose bit ..... just the elevated JP :>temperature, sore throat and all over "achies" .. Sure glad JP :>he's better now!! Sounds similar to what Fiddle had a few years back...remember? High fever, shakes, etc. But, luckily it only lasted about 24 hours. She was back to her normal self (eating like a pig!) right after. Scary though. Phew! Glad the X-man is better!

Well I'm seriously unhappy.. they've pulled DIpyron off the market. Apperently the cattle industry was abusing it and it was found in meat meant for the markets.

Hmm might ask the vet about this.. there are better ways to cool the horse down without completely getting him wet. Take a note from the endurance riders.. take a cool and wet towel and place it over his neck. You might hose his legs.. but I'd be wary of getting him completely wet in fear of a chill..... > twice a day the injections of penicylin ...... Bute 2 times a day (he > HATED that) ... of There is a BUTE paste which they don't mind as much as the pills. It has an apple flavor to it which makes it a bit more palatble to the horses. > course I went out to the barn umpteen times a day and night "checking" on > him ...... sure glad it's all overwith now!!

Straw in not a fruitcake.. he's smart.. and deliberate. Main problem is the extent to which he's spoiled which makes him VERY dangerous.

I had CJ out twice the other day.. man was she happy when she came out the second time. One of the gals commented on her looks.. "Now there's a happy horse".. chuckle. CJ is being put back into semi show shape. Got two of the four stockings clipped.. did her mane the other day.. nice and short. I won't do her ears becuase of the gnats.. But she's happy. :) BK --- DB A3000sl/001347 * Origin: * Conniption BBS * one fit at a time (1:102/861) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 243 HORSES Ref: E5Z00008 Date: 05/29/97 From: BOB KOHL Time: 03:07am \/To: MIKE MAY (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: VICKIE > -> If ANYONE talks to Vickie.. please pass this info.
