I am going to go check them out now...well, in just a minute!!!<BR/><BR/>I am going to send another blogger over here, or at least tell her about the EPM stuff. He horse may be suffering from something like it, and she was told to put him on a diet for EPM ( I will be sure to credit YOU though!)<BR/><BR/>I am interested in the stuff that you also take...the Vita-Mix?

I have used another product called "Prouds Off" that will literally eat proud flesh off. A person has to use care with it because it will eat up healthy tissue too. But I did use that on a gelding years ago that came with an old wire cut that had not healed well due to proud flesh. I washed the area well every day and reapplied until the crud was gone and healthy, pink tissue was there. Then I doctored with furicin until the hair grew back. That was long before I had ever used wound powder-but if your mare's scabs are not responding to the wound powder that is another option.<BR/><BR/>Callie-Lampley's Formula 7 is a concentrated B-vitamin product and he says not to use it on nervous horses. Instead we used the Horse Sense and that helped calm my gelding's nerves. According to Frank, most nervous horses are that way because of a thyroid problem(I think Ulcers has a lot to do with nerves too). The Horse Sense fixes the thyroid.<BR/>I don't have a lot of experience with nervous horses-my gelding, who I fed the Horse Sense too and he stopped pacing his weight off and the new black mare we got-and she has improved tremendously by just being kept in her own pen, but next to other horses. Most of her anxieties are food related. Now that she has had time to realize that she can be next to other horses, but she doesn't have to fight for her food, she has really come around.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-35351490960859884612008-10-22T08:44:00.000-06:002008-10-22T08:44:00.000-06:00I am really going to have to check some of these p...I am really going to have to check some of these products out.

We are feeding a blue grass hay right now, so i give the boys a small ration of Safe Choice, which was recommended by our trainer (the Cowboy).

Neither of ours have ever been supplemented, but she's acting exactly like one of the other older horses in our barn, and he was much better once they started giving him some joint supplement, Finish Line I think. The thing about the mare is we got her as a rescue and I don't know what kind of life she lead, but overall she's in decent shape. So I will try the MSM for 10 days to see if that helps. <BR/><BR/>Do you re-rinse the wound powder each time you dab it on or just keep dabbing over the already applied stuff? I've asked the vet that comes out to the barn about the scarring and wound site and since my mare isn't a show horse (yet :) ), he doesn't say much and just says don't worry about it. But then he's not really personable and I don't think he likes us anyhow. lol Thanks for the advice. I will try that.ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-63715408184329708122008-10-21T11:16:00.000-06:002008-10-21T11:16:00.000-06:00Ezra-I think the external rub and wound powder wou...Ezra-I think the external rub and wound powder would help that if it is still crumbly. Sounds like a bit of fungal infection in there? I would scrub them clean, apply external rub-let set for a couple of minutes and dab wound powder on it-every day at first and then if it seems to be working in a couple-three days, then you could go to every other day.<BR/><BR/>For arthritic conditions, I still prefer to start by adding pure MSM, twice a day before I start adding other supplements. Pure MSM is fantastic for helping the system to clean out any inflammation in the joints or lungs-I have used it successfully on heaves too. Try that for 10 days and see if it helps-if it does, then adding a good joint lubrication supplement will help maintain her joints and prevent further degeneration.<BR/><BR/>Out of the 30 horses we have only 6 of them are on any sort of supplements. And those are on them for specific reasons. Of course it took a bit of convincing to get my mom to tone down the supplements. I would start riding a horse-he would be going good, she would supplement the hell out of him and pretty soon I had a fruitcake on my hands. I finally had to blow up at her and tell her if she wanted these horses bouncing off the walls-she was going to have to ride them...she stopped-LOL.BrownEyed Cowgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03610547057139295854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-5001337223969432322008-10-21T08:05:00.000-06:002008-10-21T08:05:00.000-06:00Very very interesting. Thank you for elaborating ...Very very interesting. Thank you for elaborating on those items. It's really nice to hear when someone does or specifically does NOT recommend something and why for everything. We always have trouble at our barn because A)the barn owner razzes everyone and thinks feeding anything besides just hay or grain is nonsense and we are gullible (but if we ask, he'll still feed it) and B)everyone who DOES use something extra, uses something different from the next person. It's nice to get a generalization. Especially with the vitamins and stuff for older horses. We have a 23ish year old mare who I think is getting arthritis in her legs because she's kind of stiff until she's warmed up really good. Formula 7 sounds interesting as she is like your geldings with no no muscle along their backbone, but chunky monkey everywhere else.<BR/><BR/>Question on the wound powder. My other mare had gotten big chunks taken out of the cannon bone part of her back legs when she was kicked by a shod horse and although it was like 3 years ago and they are healed up, there is a little bit of proud flesh that is still there and sticks up, not flush with her skin. If I scrape that off (yuck, but it crumbles off if you pick at it), would using that External Rub and Wound Powder still work on something like that? And if so, would it just be used like every other day or so?ezra_pandorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04626213285612235702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6550515326326288148.post-50407441720203675282008-10-21T06:20:00.000-06:002008-10-21T06:20:00.000-06:00WOW!!

I am always interested in what other people feed and what supplements they use.<BR/><BR/>I won't go thru my list, but, like you, at first I noticed a difference with Source, but now, not so much. I am looking for something to replace it. The one thing I will say for it is that on it Poco lost weight and Jaz gained weight, yet they eat exactly the same thing. The Source label does say it has a "balancing" effect.Leah Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158981037468411293noreply@blogger.com
