Sport cut his fetlock about 3 weeks ago. It didn't appear too bad, so I treated it with disinfectant and Cut heel. Treated again and appeared to be scabbed over nicely. Brought him up 5 days ago and his whole fetlock looks like rough, pigskin. I looked, and it appears he has another deep 'split', crossways. I picked his foot up and the 'split' opened up. It is about 3/4 inch deep! Across it's 2 inches. He is secreting clear liquid from the wound. It is white looking inside, no blood. It appears very tough around the area. Not much swelling, other than just above the back of the hoof , the spongey like area. I have begun washing with an iodine soap, rinsing with water, then treating with Cut heel. He's not visibly limping, though he favors the foot a great deal when trotting in the corral. I'm keeping him in "jail" in the corral, so he won't injure himelf again or stress the foot. My question: Would it be a good or bad idea to use an Epsom Salt soak? Reason I ask is cause this is a fast cure for absesses and usually works well for him. I thought it would draw out any infection, as there appears to be some. I haven't phoned the vet at this point. I began treating him with powder antibiotic (Uniprim) yesterday . What would you suggest? (Sport is a 9 yr old gelding, 1200 lbs)

We provide safe, professional horse transportation for all who use our service! We have lots of references and our own website also. Since the econmy has slowed down, so did our business.

Owning a horse is not cheap if you want to give the horse proper care and a happy life. A happy life for a horse is what is best for the horse, not what man often thinks is convenient or the cheaper route. That's why there are so many horses living a horrible existance. SPCA and other like places are not often a good solution. They are over run and don't have the room or means to support thousands of horses being kicked to the curb. If you really want to help, get online, google this issue and start doing serious research to see what is out there. There are loads of 'rescue' places but not all of them have room for more animals. Just be diligent in your efforts and you will become part of a noble solution. There are scores of sources for adopting and racetracks are a good place to inquire. If you look, you will find them. Dont focus on the atrocities but focus, rather, on the positive side of loving horses and send that vibration into the universe! You'll get a much happier return on the positive vibrations than if you focus negative energy on "fighting the problem". That is a negative cycle. Instead of fighting the problem, HELP and DO GOOD fthings for the solution. It's a twist, but it is part of the law of the universe which returns same for same. Thank you all for loving and caring for the good of horses :) They are awesome creatures!
Hello Everyone, I just found this neighborhood and love it! I would love to start a discussion on how we (horse people) can come up with some ideas, brainstorm if you wish, on what we can do online to make that extra money we need to keep up with our hobby. Any ideas? I am exited to learn about them.

We have a stables nearby that "allows" the public to come and clean out stalls and bush horses for $25.00. So you can pretend it is your own horse. $25.00 each visit. And it is working...people are flocking to the stables. Just a thought...
Hubby and i looked at a cottage to rent as we search to buy a house... It was on a horse farm in Upper Freehold Twp, NJ...
The owner told us all about people killing their own horses an hour above Philadelphia cause they can't feed, sell or give them away!
This was shocking for me to hear! There has to be help for helpless horses!
Is this going on near you? Where are horses with these scenarios at?
Horse prices from my days have jumped up! She named how hay and grain has shot up too! Boarding rents are high now as well... By us it's $400 plus for full board.... Turnout and filler in feed was used in my day...
Any ideas for rescues, etc... for these horses?
I hope those horses get help soon.... Christie Hubby and i are looking for decent trail horses... We wanted to get a house first...
Hello, I am new to this so bear with me. I joined this neighborhood because it was suggested to me that I can make new friends here and also tell about myself and what I do.
First, I am an animal lover. I own dogs/cats/horses/cows. I also previously owned everything from snakes to gerbils. Right now, I live in east Texas about 40 miles outside of Dallas. I live with my hubby and 3 girls(17/10/8).
Secondly,I started making and selling my own jewelry. Can you please take a look at my items and tell me what you think. Both the good and bad are helpful to me. I offer free shipping on all my jewelry items. I just listed some of the pieces.
