Maybe we should rename it to un-comman sense cause its gettin kind of rare, like some of us cowgirls who know that these other gals are square. They walk around with all there high falutin ways. Ive seen um all, tangled with a few but when it comes down to it there horses never last as long or have the life that mine have had. Never much to do but check on them trim the odd toe here & there. Never had one day of sickness or any stable vices.Just this fall I put down 4 old friends all well into there 30's my old mare was 38 she never liked the taste of grain loved the native grass. That is where I laid her & my other dear friends when they came to pass. Now I will ride by & never will they roam away from the only place they called home. I really loved what you had to say if only more of the facny gals though about things this way. Think of all the happy hosses that they would have to play. Bless you & yours & have a happy day Cowgirl Jenn Well it sure is nice to see that there is still some good old fashioned comman sense out there!

After watching my mare go downhill year after year while she was in a corral because of a founder episode (before I got her), and then finally listening to my vet who said "kick her out into a pasture - she needs to live like a horse." I introduced her to grass gradually, 10 minutes a day, 15 minutes a day, and so on, and finally when she was up to 3 hours grazing a day, I kicked her out to pasture. Wow, what a difference that made. She had been a chronic colic horse up until then. She no longer coliced, her feet got better, she was happier horse, and a healthier horse. We try to do what we think is right and sometimes we are doing too much, and trying too hard. Too many supplements, too much grain, etc. I have her on a fresh herb & veggie & fruit feeding now, and being turned out to pasture 24/7 has made a world of difference in her coat & body condition. Go to: www.horseridersinfo.net to see the difference in her. The images are on the index page towards the bottom. Check her out. Now she gets grass hay in the winter (which we are having right now), and her fruit, veggie & herb breakfast, and she is doing fantastic! AND, she is very HAPPY to be living the life of a free horse in a pasture. No more confinement. Hi,
