If you want, I can ask mom the scientific name of the plants she has

All three horses are on it. Oklahoma and Rocky get either 10 or 15 grams, I forgot. Denali is on 20?

Anyway, mom has one adult bush that provides the bulk of everything and several younger ones growing. Still had to buy some over the winter 'cause she ran out

That'll blow any other product out of the water right there. How many plants do you guys need to feed Oklahoma?

Got herself a grinder and she'll grind up the leaves/seeds once she's dried them.

I don't know what mom has, but the preference is for home grown lol

Which brand are you using? I have all of my 20+ mares on it and like the results. Was previously using Su-per Chasteberry, but switched to Bulk Supplements since I purchase other products through them.

Oklahoma is on chaste berry to regulate her hormones. Without them, she basically goes into perma heat due to having her ovaries out

Love smart ponies. I have a bred mare this year. Lord willing she carries to term. Started her on progesterone and trying to decide if we should move to the injectable or not. I know she does best with 20mls but she has to eat it, can't do oral with her and she's a finicky earter. So I'm struggling atm. Kinda wish she was smarter, but chances are she's outsmarting me...

He's got a sweet personality at least. Highly intelligent

Ahhh People be Peopling. Nice that he's younger though. Most of the time the horses are older.
The Old Gods
04:23:04 Void Malign
We're suspecting he's younger than he really is. He's supposed to be 10ish, but he acts a lot younger. Guy turned out to be a shady horse flipper

Aw what a bum. Horses really test our sanity.

It's because of the sugar and salt in it

...Who is still dealing with an injury of his own making. The idiot decided to get fresh, slipped on a rock, fell, slid about 20 feet. So, now he's been dealing with a bruised up hoof for about a month and a half

Farriers May 16, 2025 11:28 AM

It's so incredibly hard to find a good farrier which sucks because good feet on a horse is everything.

I have had the same farrier for two years now, and at first he was great. My horse's feet look great, and all was fine.

Lately however my farriers quality has gone down. He has trimmed my OTTBs back feet so incredibly short that my vet was concerned, and he destroyed the feet of another horse for my trainers client. I have been looking for another farrier, but in my area there is a small pool and most of them don't show up for their appointments.

People just don't want to put in the work anymore, and it's frustrating.

Yikes... I started doing my own farrier work 12+ years ago for that very reason. I read lots of books, some being the ones you would read if you got the certificate. I don't trim other horses since I'm not a professional, but I'm the go-to on trail rides when someone gets a crack or needs a touch-up. My horse chiropractor is also an equine vet and she compliments my horse's hooves every time and asks for my farrier's info and then I remind her it's me =P I think she has the same problem you are having.

I couldn't tell you why farriers start to decline other than their age and physical health. It would make sense. I am incredibly sore after doing my two horses and the second horse usually has a slightly worse trim because I wear out in 90 degree temps.

I'm not sure where you can look for a different trimmer. I used to have a certified barefoot trimmer come from another state and split the travel fee with other horse people in the area.

Maybe check out "the horses hoof" site for trimmers in your area. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post directl links on here.
