What to do about horses with diarrhea

A helpful Q&A from SmartPak for those with similar challenges:

I have a 26 year old TWH that has chronic diarrhea. He had vet work done last year, when it first started, with his blood work coming back normal, fecal exam okay and teeth are okay. No feed or hay change. Actually, his stool will be somewhat normal, not firm apples but has some substance to them, for most of the time then about once or twice a month it gets loose to the point of liquid. I had him…

Profiling the Connection Between Horse and Rider

 

This is such a good idea.

 

SmartPak is visiting different barns to profile horse rider connections.

 

As riders, we know there’s a special connection between us and our horses that’s hard to put into words, but this bond is so strong that even non-riders can sense it. In an effort to better understand this relationship, our staff Photographer, Kristi (one of the few non-riders at SmartPak), will be visiting a different SmartPaker’s barn each month to…

Your July Horseyscope by Lauren Bode





Cancer  June 21 - July 20



 I believe this year will be a hot one for you.

You will be moving so fast, it will be impossible to

stay in touch. Keep up the good work. You are giving your horse

a lot of attention and affection.  He needs both at the moment as

he is just coming out of a serious training period.

Leaving the past behind may be good for you, who really knows?

It will depend on your…
