Monique to us on a lease. 2003 was Monique's first year competing in eventing, so I am extremely proud that we had a great first year. We competed in six events at the Elementary level and even won 1st place at the Old hope Farms Horse Trial which was only our second competition. I also competed at Pony Club rallies with Monique in Eventing, Show Jumping, and Dressage. We also went to Pony Club Camp over the summer at the Quention Horse Show grounds and had a "blast" and I met many new friends and their ponies. I'm looking

Are there dangerous plants in your pasture?

Do you know what’s in your pasture other than grass? Foreign plants can colonize a pasture from remote sources of seed, sometimes conquering large flats in a single year. Fields that are poorly managed, previously flooded, overgrazed, or surrounded by overgrown fields may be prone to weed infestation. Horses grazing next to woodlands, roads, ornamental gardens, lawns, or orchards are at risk of eating a toxic plant. Pasture is the main source of toxic plants, but hay can be another. In fact, hay is suspected as a toxic source in cases where there is no pasture.
Fortunately, most horses won’t eat toxic plants because they are distasteful. Furthermore, it is rare that a
is most vulnerable to exposure to toxins during the first trimester of pregnancy, when major organ development takes place. The classic example is consumption of skunk cabbage/hellebore during the first equine trimester, producing a cyclops foal. In short, keep your mares away from ANY unusual pasture or plants.
Colic and Diarrhea
There are many plants that fall into this category. One common culprit is oak, which contains tannins, the toxic principle. Oak ingestion causes hard, dark feces and colic, later turning to bloody diarrhea, oral ulcers and signs of choke. Horses that wander into shrubs or woodlands, restricted from good quality pasture or hay, may ingest oak. Horses with bad teeth, given only complete pelleted feed, and young curious horses may taste leaves. Horses out on the trail may experiment with leaf ingestion if tied near a source. The summertime, when leaves are plentiful, is the most likely time to see oak toxicity.
Other plants that cause colic and diarrhea include:
Horse Chestnuts
Buckeye
Morning glory
Jimson Weed
Foxglove
Oleander
Pokeweed,
|
|
|
Treatment is rarely specific for individual plants. In general, your veterinarian will want to treat all suspected plant intoxications with mineral oil and/or activated charcoal to absorb the toxins, and intravenous fluids to speed the excretion of the toxic principle through the kidneys. Plant toxicities are discussed by the symptoms they produce.

At a recent meeting, some of us were introduced to bandaging for the first time. We focused on the two main, or most widely used types: shipping and standing. Members learned the key differences and the uses for the two different wraps, while a video discussing equine first-aid and bandaging was also viewed.
Key Points to remember:
· When wrapping, as a novice, always have someone supervising
· A shipping wrap needs to cover from the bottom of the knee to the coronary band and heel of the horse, so when traveling, the horse doesn't step on his or her self
· A standing wrap prevents a horse from "stocking" up, inflammation in the lower leg after being stalled after hardwork
· The pressure of the bandage needs to be evenly distributed, putting less pressure on the tendon found at the back of the leg, and slightly more on the cannon

bone, front of the leg
· Wrap towards the tail, or back towards front direction.
· Never kneel next to a horse! Always squat!
Everyone had a lot of fun practicing on a model.
