Oops pushed the wrong button really thats stupid what if you have a cold backed horse and you need to lunge before you get on it |
at my PC you had to have your C+ or B cert before you were allowed to lunge on the property
no one ever payed any attention to that rule though.

A lot of it's a space issue (at least at Auckland PCs it has been ... some have barely enough flat space to use as a warm up area), and unfortunately there have been people who have been unsafe with lunging before too.

Nupafeed MADE MY HORSE NUTS ! ! ! ! |
then he obviously wasnt lacking magnesium... Ive had Digger on it at competitions a few times and the difference was amazing! |
Yeah i was just trying it too see if it would make a differnce. He gets mag every day. If i stopped feeding this and gave him nupafeed do you think it would calm him down out and about?

Was more of a general comment 'cos the swabbable question has already popped up.
Can you confirm the baking soda thing? I can't find it on the FEI's database.

Huh, really? Wonder how long it takes to leave their system coz it's such a good staggers mix!

I've also tried Sedazine, but not sure that made much difference either.
Another (vet only) is rakelin, which is VERY good....I have used it many years ago on a horse that totally lost the plot in a certain situation. It is an intramuscular injection, and once in their system, essentially takes away the stress and anxiety. I do recall one vet saying to me that it ought to be used more often for some types of training (not sure if I agree or not), but it definitely works!
|
If it matters, both Sedazine (acepromazine) and Rakelin (reserpine) are definitely swabbable. I would assume most of the vet prescribed stuff is.

That's awesome
If the grass is causing a problem you could try Evelyns staggers mix? 1TBSP of: yeast, dried thyme, epsom salt, baking soda. You can double the yeast at the start too coz it's the main toxin binder. Works wonders with my mare who reacts a bit to the new grass
