so i just adopted a mare and surprise she had a foal so now i hit a wall what do i do to get her weight up now that shes nursing a foal!? i'm worried that putting her on mare and foal would be to much for her to fast cuz she is malnourished and was horribly dehydrated when i have her the vet is coming out tomorrow.

My friend found 4 mini's and a paint mare in the back of a abandon property where they where rescuing 10 pit-bulls. So usually i rotate between quest and equimax womers but with having 5 all of a sudden whats going to be cheapest? All but one have all ready been adopted but i want them wormed at least once before they go to their new homes

also what do you prefer the continuous pellet wormer or the paste?

Is their a way to get to the park from Seattle? im going to Seattle at the beginning of August and i want to spend one of the days i am there at the Olympic state park but the friends i am staying with don't have a car so i can either rent a car (witch i really DON'T want to do!) or is their a bus or train or anything i can take instead?

so i would like to lose 3.5 inches off my waist and 2.5 off my hips (and a few inches on off my bust would be an added bonus but lets be reasonable lol). if i am very committed on average how long dose it usually take to lose an inch? i would like to lose at least 2 inches off my waist and 1 off my hips in a months time is this a reasonable goal?

i know it will vary between trucks but just trying to get an average

so my freind dose rescue and we where walking into the shed where we keep our horse feed and momma cat freaked out and ran out so we decided that we would try and trap momma so we bedded babies down in in the back of the trap well it didn't trigger so momma took one of the babies. so we decided to put them back into the box and leave food and water for momma. here's the question we are pretty sure shes a barn cat but she is not ours will she move them far away or is it more likely she will just move them into a different building? if we keep feeding her do you think she'll leave them in the shed. the kittens are around 4-5 days old.

So i've been doing the transfer work for the horses we have on the ranch i work on and the horse i ride has the UGLIEST picture i have ever seen on his papers when i turn in is paperwork can i change the picture? I want to use this one.

also we have an APHA mare that needs to be transfered i know they are totally different organisations but she is our with our stallion (who is apha approved) is their a way i can do her transfer though AQHA or do i just have to pay the non member price for her? cuz i really dont want to join APHA for one horse?

So i have a trouble maker we've all seen in movies the pony that can open stall doors and such... thats my horse! Its really rather funny but not everyone thinks it is (his half brother is the same way about it). It seems as soon as i put one boot on he has the other one off. as soon as i turn my back hes taking off his neibohrs halter or untieing himself to come along w/ me or munch on some grass... until its a big mess. I've been getting ready for a lesson and come back to find 5 horses wandering around the arena... is their any thing i to dis-encourage him from being a brat?

so my friend and i are going camping this coming weekend but my horse and her horse have never met. my boss said i could use the stock trailer to take them but their are no dividers in it should i be worried about conflict? Both are pretty mellow but my mines still pretty young so is prone to being stupid.

My friend and i are hauling out horses over saint patty's day weekend! I'm super excited we're staying over night at a 4000 acre working cattle ranch. I have all the camping essentials (i live w/ 3 boy scouts) but what am i going to feed my friend?! we'll do pancakes or something for breakfast and pack sandwitches or something for lunch on the trail but what for dinner?!

My friend and i are FINALLY hauling out to go camping! im so freaking excited! so its going to be 2 for sure possibly 3 horses they will be stalled at the camp site. im takeing a spare halter for eatch and extra rains. Now my horse is a pasture horse and is currently on a round bail how many bails should i take for him? i was thinking just 4 flakes a day for him should be fine so could i get away w/ 1 bail for both horses (my boy gets alfalfa cubes as it it could i get away with just feeding alfalfa to him instead of hauling hay?)? i am of cource packing my grain. i always carry bute just in case and will be taking a basic horse first aid kit. what else do i need for the horses?!

support your answer! no stupid responses!

2 years ago i toured some of the state parks and in the process i hiked angle bright trail.... later i learned my lesson to always talk to the rangers before i hike out it was truly awful and i was nearly pushed off several times on my way back up! absolutely no hiking manors! so what are some other horrible trails?

so in the next few years i plan on buying some land and starting an Irish Druaght breeding program. So i thought what would be a cooler dog to have then an irish wolfhound?! are they good with other dogs/cats/livestock/children? obviously i don't expects them to be a herding dog i have my ACD's for that. i'd like to get into search and resuce with my next dog is that something a irish wolfhound would be good at?

So hes in awesome shape but i'd like to bring some definition to him. He can maintain all his gaits strongly for however long i ask him to. we ride year round. so tips on muscle conditioning exerciser?

So i currently have a doxie that i am fostering he is a registered 2 1/2 long haired sable dachshund and i have several adopters interested in him and i've had people who have asked about his papers is their any way i can get them? i know his original owners lost them and would of freely given them over to the people i got him from so how do i go about getting them? he is micorchiped will that help? i dont need them but they'd be nice to have.

I'm retraining myself back into runner shape i have a long road ahead of me. but hears the question i and over defined arch in my left right foot witch leaves me prone to tendinitis do the puma's have good arch support? i just baught puma street kosmos online.

A friend of mine is in rescue and she ended up with 2 ponies and a horse. Shes used to ride but doesn't know about taking care of horses if you know what i mean. so i come out and check up on the horses and make sure their all doing well and such. Her big mare has always liked to rub but since she moved her in w/ the ponies shes taken it to an extream and rubbed bark off one of the trees (witch makes me think their is some other skin condition going on). but today i noticed 2 patches where all the her is gone missing and its dry and almost looks like waves on her neck and chest. on her neck its about the size of my palm and on her chest its a little smaller. My friend is convinced that its just from her rubbing but it looks worse then that to me. Could it just be rain rot? she had rain rot pretty bad before we moved her up and i made sure that it was taken care of before we put her in with the ponies. and yes yes the vet is coming out i just am worried about her.

Ok totally hypothetical so you have a tb mare you breed her to a Irish stallion that foal can potentially be duel reg in jockey club and as an Irish sport horse right? so take that horse and you breed it to another Irish draught its still a sport horse right? well how many generation if ever untill that line is would be considers an irish draught again? just the random thought of the day.
