i know i'm a little late but just in case you were still wondering.. it can cause colic but only in a very sensitive horse. we saved two mares (mine and my sisters) and put them both on the same pasture didn't think much of it but mine escaped multi…
Def not true...our horses stay in the pasture day and night. Ours usually try to colic when they are bad and break into the feed room and gorge themselves with sweet feed.
Yeah colic is usually caused when you change their diet.If your going to change their diet do it gradually because if you do it all it once it can shock their imune system and make it week allowing parasites to get in. One of my horses actually got…

Dearest Belles & Bobbie..
I seriously doubt they would consider using the money that was raised for Bosco to help make up for the ingnorance of our city's leaders spending habits. They would be in a world of shit I'm sure. Too many people know how…
You need all the sourpusses you can get if you want money from them. Any fundraiser knows this. And any good fund raiser realizes that if you isolate anyone, even the difficult ones - you will never get a dime. I've had the most difficult of people…
