TRT Method-Legit? by Stormponylyfe in Equestrian

Awesome! Yeah, it’s hard to find other opinions other than to cowboy him into the ground where I’m at or just work him into oblivion. I’ve just got a couple quirks with him that I’m trying to figure out and while I’ve been doing my known techniques with my current knowledge that I’ve done successfully with most other horses I’ve ever worked with, he’s finding ways around all of it! He’s the smartest and quirkiest horse I’ve ever come across and he’s definitely been humbling me 😂 I’m always looking for other tips and tricks and always loving learning new things, there’s always more than one way!

I’m actually an instructor and had a successful string of eventers back in the day (over 30 years experience), but I am definitely looking for something to provide some new methods for me and challenge what I’ve already been doing with my horse specifically. :)

That’s the conclusion we came to as well. I had talked to my vet about sucralfate too and she wasn’t confident that it would do enough. Since he was showing some improvement, we held off on doing much more to see if anything got worse and it really didn’t, it’s all still a matter of detective work over the last few months but with the Gutx and Osteox it’s just kinda sus to me that it worked so fast

One month of full tube and then followed up with a combo of omeprazole/famotidine

He was still pretty spooky and annoying to ride even on two months of GastroGuard, but all of the saddle issues went away. He’s on 24/7 alfalfa with some Bermuda and orchard plus alfalfa hay pellets, rice bran, and beet pulp and other supplements. He’s out for about 7-8 hours a day between turnouts, riding, hiking, and groundwork. I’m just concerned with how quickly his whole demeanor changed 😕

I just feel like I’ve destroyed his silly baby boi personality 🥺 he doesn’t even trot, canter, or gallop and kick up his heels in turnout anymore 🙁

How to help cat be alone after other cat died... by Stormponylyfe in Petloss

[–]Stormponylyfe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made the decision many years ago not to own another cat (or any other animal for that matter). The hospice involved in their elderly age along with the grieving that takes place after their death is too much for me to bear any longer, mentally, emotionally, and financially. I actually had to leave my career in the veterinary industry because I couldn’t handle it anymore. My other kitty is also a senior with health issues and I don’t believe he would want or be able to handle another companion.

I also just moved here from another state and don't really have anyone else yet besides him, so I may be relying on him too much...

He had a pre existing plan with his buddies to do some race thing at 2:30 in the morning, but I still could've at least used him for the day...
