Jewell my Quarter Horse mare that tied up is feeling and looking much better. My daughter brought me the mare from Wyoming, where she’d been riding her most of the summer to try her out for me. After finding out that Jewell tied up really bad about two weeks after arriving in Kentucky, Barbara talked to the previous owner. He said right after he bought the mare a few years ago she did get stiff one day after being out. A little bute/banamine and a few days off and she was fine. No more problems ever seen. So whether she had a small episode of tying-up at that time or not is hard to determine. Might have been just overwork, or it could have been tying-up.

So I got back the reports from Dairy One today that analyzed the three types of hay I have (Washington state alfalfa; Kentucky-grown alfalfa/timothy mix; Kentucky-grown grass hay)
