Pedigree Query

Mine did it for 23 years....LOL! He teeth were checked yearly.

Rain scald--Is that also known as rainrot? I would like to know how to treat this. I have a horse coming in that needs some TLC...Thanks!

WOW! Thanks! I don't have access to records...Can you tell how many lifetime starts he had? I was told he was raced this year too with no success. Just want to know how hard he worked...

Could it be she has bugs. Our rescue came OTT and was swimming in the pool--a great place to catch parasite. My vet took a hair sample. I applied a liquid cattle/horse remedy like Advantage for dogs down his mane and topline. Treated it and the eggs two weeks apart and a 3rd application just to make...

I had a TB dipper. Personally, it is a healthier way of eating. This type of horse will never colic as they take in more water...
I don't have automatic waterer. I would disconnect his waterbowl and only have a bucket. Clean his water regularly--much easier if it is in the front of his stall.

Was he bred in Florida? It seems he started his racing career late then. Wilf thanks for that info I PM'd you. I found him compact, nicely put together, very friendly and mild mannered.

Hmmmm----that didn't help me much. Can anyone tell me if he raced extensively since he was 2? So he raced twice? Did he race in US and Canada? I already got his pedigree info from the website. I wish I had the opportunity to speak the the owner OR trainer for background info but he was discarded lik...

I have heard it said if they are deficient in minerals they will eat/lick the mineral blocks. I found mine lasted forever and some didn't even touch them. I then switched to the blue cobalt salt licks and finally they are using them. My old mare though, tends to exagerate the eating of them. It is l...

I don't have any experience at treating bowed tendons. I am going to look at a horse next week who bowed 4 weeks ago on the track. Left front--any recommendation of how to treat would be great. According to the 'new' owner he is pasture sound and is on turnout 24/7 with a companion. It was treated i...

Most people I know level the stalls and put down limescreens. Then they level and pack them. It hardens somewhat and they put down fitted heavy mats. It actually drains nicely and there is no smell due to the limestone.

I gather he wasn't so Speedy. I am going to see him next week and considering rescuing him. I would appreciate any background info on this horse. Like his racing record. Any incite or information would be greatly appreciated to better help and understand him. Thanks!
