*New* The FreeRepublic Saddle Club - Who's Who *pics*

This is a horse chat thread where we share ideas, ask for input from other horsemen, and talk about our riding and horse-keeping. We have a lot of different kinds of riders and horses, and a lot to share. In the previous threads we have had a great time talking through lessons, training, horse lamenesses, illnesses and pregnancies... and always sharing pictures and stories.

I always have a link to this thread on my profile page, so if you have something to say and can't find the thread in latest posts… look for it there and wake the thread up!

I also have a ping list for horse threads that are of interest, and Becky pings everyone most mornings. Let Becky (Paynoattentionmanbehindthecurtain) and/or me know if you would like to be on the ping list. As FreeRepublic is a political site, our politics and other issues will probably blend in…. There are many issues for horsemen that touch politics… land use, animal rights/abuse cases that make the news…. Legislation that might affect horse owners.

So... like the previous threads, this is intended as fun place to come and share stories, pictures, questions and chit-chat, unguided and unmoderated and that we come together here as friends. There are lots of ways of doing things and we all have our quirks, tricks and specialties that are neat to learn about.

"I Can't Tell You Why" is one of my all time favorite "make out" songs. What fun high school memories.

[PayNoAttentionManBehindCurtain]

We just fed dinner here too ;~D Two hours earlier :~D

I just went and ordered and I had forgotten that I switched from Fort Dodge vaccines. I order the Encevac TC-4 + VE which is vaccine for healthy horses against Eastern, Western and Venezuelan Encephalomyelitis, tetanus and influenza subtypes A1 and A2. 1ml IM annual booster. One dose syringe is $9.59. It is shipped next day air so there is a charge of $12.00 for that. Like I said, I order the 10 dose vial since I have so many.

[tuffydoodle]

Nite all, I'm hitting the sack, too. I have an early dentist appointment tomorrow, I have dang cavity. Blech.

[Duchess47]

Grand baby pictures are always welcome.

To my knowledge West Nile is an individual shot still. Been two weeks since I saw the vet but it was then. I don't think it has been out long enough for be in a combination, plus there are arguements as to it's safety on pregnant mares (amongst horse people - vets say it's safe)

[CindyDawg]

can yall see anything else beside the west nile that I might need?

My server went belly up so I had to sign back on via AOL but what I posted was -

You need West Nile; a 4 or 5way vaccine which is the sleeping sickness, tetanus, flu vac; and you should keep on hand penicillen and tetanus antitoxin. These all need to be refridgerated.

[Duchess47]

This is a reasonable price for a feed store/tack store. That's why I order online because I just can't afford that for the number of horses I have.

I order through http://www.valleyvet.com

[CindyDawg]

Ok. It looks like everything there except the West Nile. Do you have to have an RX? I see they have PCN so I'll pick some of that up too. Horses don't require rabies?
The reason I'm asking all of this is because I got caught off guard. I had no idea what all the vets had given. I want to do it myself so I know what all they get this time.

[CindyDawg]

17.95. How long does it take to get here? A 10 dose vial would last me 5 years:')

[Duchess47]

You don't need a Rx for penicillen or tetanus. You would need one for Banamine which is a good thing to have on hand. That's about the only prescription med that I can think of that you might want to keep around. No - I take that back, Bute is a good thing to have on hand too.

Your vet would have only given yearly vacs, which is the 5-way or 4-way (all the flu stuff) and now, West Nile.

Horses generally don't require rabies.

[Duchess47]

It is shipped overnight. I just ordered tonight so it will be shipped tomorrow and I'll receive it on Friday. You wouldn't want a 10 dose vial - two single dose syringes are all you need so figure $32 with the shipping.
