Do you train?
Why do you feel compelled to trivialize an honest discussion?
No doubt....wanting to start an argument over a basic training discussion.....for what?   |
"....and remember, the best thing about kids.....is making them."
Golf. Nothing needs more be said.

If you think you can learn how to train a horse is by reading "friendly posts" on the internet - you are the type of person people want to race against.
That post was so weird. Bad news and good news, I suppose. It may have been a compliment. Post went up ... then a Conditioning/Training Official Forum was born.  |

Most trainers are more then willing to share their opinions when you ask for advice. Perhaps there are some proprietory formulas that won't be devulged but all in all most trainers are pretty good guys. (and gals)

Just a little note to throw out there.. When you know that a long ship is on the schedule the old timers would give the horse a drenching with mineral oil and a strong shot of bute or banamine to make the trip a little more enjoyable.. The horse would usually get to it's destination no worse for wear and usually ready to eat whatever was put in front of it... an ounce of prevent..........  |

The Conditioning/Training Forum is here to stay. I'm enjoying this. I'll keep up with what little I know. Congrats fellow posters!
Thanks John W for joining in. Good suggestion on the pre-ship treatment. At some point I'd like to discuss Bute vs. Banamine if others are interested (little deviation from your point but may be a good discussion). Welcome, all the same.

Well, He has had time enough to recover from the ship. I trained him in 201 on Thursday last half in 59 last 1/4 in 29 and he is in to go on Tuesday. Preferred pace but he drew inside. I hope I get a nice check

I put him on omeprazole. The vet gave me generic made by precision pharmacy. He finished a nice third in the preferred. I can't ask for better than that as I expect him to be a winners over horse. He is a very nice horse and I am happy to have him. |

Ten years ago if someone told me horses got ulcers I would have said that "MY HORSE GIVE ULCERS, THEY DON'T GET THEM" |

Samstar, Suicide Mare is right, time for the papaya juice: http://www.stomachsoother.com/article1.aspWith so much emphasis placed on competition and performance, many horses are developing gastrointestinal problems. Anything that causes stress such as hauling, competing, stall rest, or breeding can lead to problems with the GI tract, including sour stomach and ulcers. Several symptoms of gastrointestinal ailments include going off feed, colic, weight loss, poor coat quality, sour attitude, lethargy, or abnormal behavior. It is important to consult your veterinarian regarding these symptoms to ensure they are not life threatening. Many horse owners who have observed these symptoms in the past have relied on alternative supplements to help keep their horses’ gastrointestinal tracts healthy. Now there is something new to try.i]Okay, back to home remedies. Before the Holidays, I sent my hubby on a mission to find what is now being called "Potpaya" juice ... (the hubster loves twisting words for a chuckle). Cannot find Potpaya juice anywhere. We're using an over-the-counter mint-flavored ant-acid. Horse loves it. He never was confirmed with ulcers but sometimes has the symptoms so this is preventative. Our search for the illusive "juice" will continue. |

For human consumption it's available in some health food stores in California (and maybe elsewhere) but the easiest thing, Mare, is just buy a whole potpaya  at the local grocery store and put it in a blender with a little water and make your own. |
