One of THE most difficult conditions to treat, in my opinion, is scratches. Known also as dew poisoning, muck itch, pastern dermatitis, cracked heal, greasy heal, and probably a bunch of other names I haven’t even heard of – bottom line – it’s annoying, chronic (comes back over and over), and progressive (gets waaay worse without treatment!)… Continue Reading

Dear Harriet…

HORSE PEOPLE – Have you ever been swimming with your horse? As you can tell from this picture, I hadn’t. (I’m kinda excited… and nervous! … Continue Reading
At the Green Barn, I really work hard to provide the most natural environment possible for the horses in every way I can. This means LOTS of turnout where the horses are free to roam and graze on free-choice grass/hay.

Although it’s been a gorgeous 80 degrees and sunny this past week, we ALL know the hot, muggy summer is forthcoming……….
Anhidrosis in horses is a VERY dangerous problem. Anhidrosis refers to a condition when horses are unable to sweat.
