How long has it been since you started trying to encourage your horse's hair to grow back?? My gelding had bald spots from halter rubs (the place where we were boarding would not leave it off at any time, either in barn or when he was turned out). When we moved to a place where he was out on huge pastures where he never wore his halter except to come in for a grooming, the hair grew back quickly. I just daubed the rubs with Corona...

How much sugar/starch does Equilizer have in it? I was thinking about feeding it as a top dressing for vitamins with either Podium or Intergri-T. Then I will add oil plus probably some sort of calming supplement as well. He has had Tri-max before to but that also made him a little spun. Let me know if that sounds like a decent plan. Thanks everyone.

DOES ANYONE KNOW OF A MIRACLE CURE FOR HAIR GROWTH? While I was recovering from some surgery, somehow my mare was left in a halter which was a bit too snug last winter. After the month was up it had rubbed the hair clear off her nose and I've tried EVERYTHING to get it to grow back... including removing her noseband and putting her in a "dog collar" as opposed to a halter (she is a quiet mare to lead) What I have tried: *pure...

if you do this try also ensuring dust free bedding- (or as much time outside as you can muster- we did 24x7x365) but certainly no straw in the stall- he will eat it.

I think its just a coincidence. My mare is on MSM aswell and she smells normal lol.. never noticed any difference in the smell of her manure. I would stick with the Biotic and see how that works for her, it very well could be that her intestinal flora is out of whack and needs a little help.

I agree with Rachel. Cut out the HF/HF, most often HF/HF doesn't help to gain weight, its only roughly 7% fat. Compared to Elite which is roughly 9% and TriMAX which is 12%. (These are numbers off the top of my head, but they should be fairly close ;)) I am not a fan of sweet feed in any context. I don't find it helps to gain weight IME. Not to mention, I'm not a fan of mixing a ton of different grains. I'd rather feed one...

In my experience, the only way to cure an ulcer is with a course of omeprazole. Afterwards you can PREVENT ulcers with a variety of herbal products, aloe juice, etc etc. There`s oodles on the market. But I haven`t heard of baking soda... Chelly

splintex silver is for green hot splints. I am using the splintex gold for a large splint that was caused by trauma.(I now put brush boots on for turnout.) The furacin dmso did not work for my girl but when I switched to splintex gold, it went down by half. I am still using it and will continue to do so up to the max time. works best if you shave the hair. my horse did nt like the dmso furacin and would dance but does not mind the splintex....
