Melissa, you painted a very pretty picture in my mind's eye of your horses and bees, thank you. I love horses, I miss not keeping horses on my property anymore. But when my girls grew up, we kept their horses for many years, but too much work for so little pleasure. I had a beauty of a grey Arab that was mine, but she became very lame because of foundering issues. I ended up giving her to a woman who wanted a nice little horse to use for lessons for children. She was willing to work with my Arab and "fix" her hooves, she was a farrier and could spend the time and effort. It was a sad day for me when I had to give up trying to fix her feet, but it was just getting too costly with all the corrective shoeing that was required. This Arab always had issues with founder, colic, don't know why, but she just wasn't the healthiest of mares I guess. Oh well, gone off topic, but I can carry on. Have a wonderful day, love our beautiful life we live in. Cindi
CINDI There is a # of reasons why she was colicing. #1 Might of been the feed that you was giveing her. #2 Her insides might of been a little dry and she can not get all the feed down. I have a old horse and he did the same thing well theres a lady I help that was race horses. Well she told me to give him so corn oil ever time I feed him. After that no more problems. It was just his valves was dry. And we had to change the feed. We give him a sr horse feed lol. My friend had a problem with a horse eating to fast and colicing. So the vet had to come out and push the feed out of his throt. After that he can only eat mesh feed. Any ways you have a good week. And bee good
