Pedigree Query

We have a filly who's recently been diagnosed with this problem. We have changed her diet drastically, but have kept her in work. I was wondering if anyone here has had experience with this in racehorses?

Okay, You've taken bloods to determin that she has actually tied up on you? Just checking....anyways, Vitamin E w/ Selenium is fantastic. It can be bought in a powder form from a company called Prime Performance (I think they're states based) And it's worked really well with our "stiffies". Also, I'...

oh my...teb, that is the most beautiful story!!!

Oh, that article made me go all cold and teary...it's so good to know that there are people out there doing something. The yard I work in, we are so careful about rehoming our retired horses. I mean, we would rather just charge the current owner a reduced fee and keep the horse till a suitable home ...

Um, could you clarify "back sore"? I've never heard of the product but I may have some other ideas?

okay, thanks....mmm...I think that's stupid (boys vs girls thing)...and I'm a girl.... anyways, thanks for clearing that up for me
I think that the death of ANY horse...is tragic.

....WHY is there such a massive uproar over Eight Belles? okay, I dont really follow American racing, but obviously she was fancied...(i guess)....but while this whole thing is truly tragic - as has been stated - it's not the first time this has happened...I mean in general...horses breakdown in rac...

For my nickel's worth - I've run 2yos with nominal success and also held back seemingly mature 3yos to fully mature and run as 4yos with similar results. Yes, the early maturing types can certainly get out and go young. I recall living in Louisianna when they ran the Jean Lafitte Futurity at DeD in...

Thanks!!!

lol...that's her name, a 2 year old filly by Joshua Dancer...now, the yard I work in so does not produce Juvie runners, but this filly, she's just magic, I backed her last September, and she was so easy, I had her backed and trotting in 2 weeks....she just took everything in her stride, literally......

May - August is my favourite time of the year....it's the Natal Winter Season and we host some of the biggest races in South Africa...I love it! and it's cooler....lol....although, i dont like it much, but the horses enjoy it more!!!

yeah, well, kind of....he still has his moments, and you never really know, when he walks out his box if he's going to have a "good" or a "bad" day....lol, but at least he goes to work...mostly, there's certain openings on the tracks that he WONT go to without ALOT of persuasion...but, on the whole,...

Well...it's been almost a year since I posted about old Taps...he's now four...lol. and he FINALLY WON A RACE!!! *happy dancing* in May last year he injured his back rolling in the box, so that took 3 months out of his training....we gave him a run about 4.5 months after the injury and then, he got ...

Thanks for all your replies!!! We pull the first string out at 4.45am so those fillies were pulling out then....The one, Lara has been sent away on holiday for 6 weeks....which will hopefully help to de-stress her a bit. We're definately going to try the beer thing on Princess though - she'll eat AN...

Hey, thanks for the replies.... Ascot Stud, I'll mention that to my boss, not sure if the fillies would eat their feed with it in though...Princess might, she's a real glutton, but Lara is as fussy as they come! This One AC....is there a link I could follow to check it out, or could you tell me it's...
