It's difficult dealing with all of that. And exhausting.<br /><br />I'm no help on the supplements. I know nothing about them lol.<br /><br />You definitely need to get video of the Lusitano. I'm dying to see him. :)<br /><br />I love MTG, so I think that's a good idea to get. Just test it on a small patch of skin to make sure she isn't sensitive to it. Some horses are very, very sensitive to the sulfur in it or something. Be sure to shake it up well too or you'll just be getting the oil on her and it won't do any good. For hardening the feet I spray them with salt water. It helps kill/prevent thrush too.<br /><br />Good luck with your Parelli lesson. I'm sure it will go great. I always do my best with trainers because they give me confidence. :)Achieve1dreamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15401246064499148344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-8220154832368122052011-04-18T10:52:47.423-07:002011-04-18T10:52:47.423-07:00If you want to use a hyaluronic acid supplement, y...If you want to use a hyaluronic acid supplement, you might want to try Flex Force, which you can get here -- http://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=24d80303-77bf-4447-8fbd-4b660a0e629c&gas=flex%20force%20ha It's the same as the super expensive HA supps but at, like, 1/8 the price!<br />For the stone bruises, I would try Magic Cushion and/or Keratex Hoof Hardener. And my "horse guru" told me that Keratex Hoof Gel is the BEST thing EVER for protecting hooves from muddy, wet, ickyiness. Good luck!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-15892600428631500632011-04-18T10:13:44.790-07:002011-04-18T10:13:44.790-07:00Hey, we used a level 2 parelli and she gave us gre...Hey, we used a level 2 parelli and she gave us great homework back in Oct. I think the biggest thing, is it gave ME the confidence I needed to work with Laz and not freak out and shut down when/if he freaked out. She had me hang in there and convince me and it's been working great for us. It's support..I think you'll like it. :)Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-37575182274247848352011-04-18T06:50:46.851-07:002011-04-18T06:50:46.851-07:00It will be interesting to see your thoughts on Par...It will be interesting to see your thoughts on Parelli work!!

My vet recommended it as well, and I'm glad she did. I may take her off it for the summer, but I think I'll always add it back during the winter months just to support her.Muddy Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07937615888562277779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-86348968514458884832011-04-18T05:15:33.158-07:002011-04-18T05:15:33.158-07:00I had Gogo on Cosequin ASU when I was heavily ridi...I had Gogo on Cosequin ASU when I was heavily riding and competing and it really does make a difference. It's mucho pricey so when she went into turnout I put her on SmartFlex Repair. She was on SmartTendon for the past year and a half while in rehab.... obviously THAT did a load of good. I mean she healed well, but she reinjured just as quick... honestly, tendons are avascular structures, so how does anything you feed them get to them anyway? Maybe I just like wasting money on my horse... lol.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-52371353161094311.post-42166325689407267882011-04-18T04:34:24.095-07:002011-04-18T04:34:24.095-07:00A product I have tried is supposed to be REALLY go...A product I have tried is supposed to be REALLY good for joint/ligament health. It's called Rapid Response HF + HA (HA = Hylarounia Acid, which is what vets will inject into joints to help lubricate them). <br /><br />My mare has a hock injury and I tried it - it didn't really help me but others seem to have had a LOT of success with this. I also only kept my mare on it for 6 weeks because I was not seeing any results and it is insanely expensive (around $289 for 6 weeks). If you are desperate and money is no issue then you could give it a go. I won't personally vouch for it's effectiveness, because I didn't see any results first hand, but a LOT of people recommend it - in some instances it has even saved horses that were going to be euthed. Might be worth a go if your desperate - it seems to have helped a lot of horses and people.<br /><br />Good Luck =)Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12952212732988277090noreply@blogger.com
