We Have A Sick Horse, What's Involved?

[@redeyedmongoose2963]

Scoots is certainly enjoying the snow !

[@michellepollino4986]

Good to see Joel and Gavin back together.

[@amberv1986]

Sunday 12:30pm I arrived at the barn, got sriracha from the field, noticed he was standing off by himself (odd for him) brought him inside to do his hoof care and apply mtg for the upcoming snow we were getting. 1:30pm noticed he would not take his favorite treats. Continued to try other things because it is very unlike him to not take his favorite treats. 230-3ish informed Dawn I thought something was going on with him, he would not eat his evening grain or drink water. Walked him around the arena for over an hour in case of colic. Brought him back inside and we took his temperature, 104. Immediately called the vet, had blood work done and antibiotics and banamine administered. I will let the follow up wait until the next video for Joel to go over but wanted to go into a bit more detail about the discovery and process the day it happened. 🙂

[@leannekenyoung]

Such a scary time when an animal won’t eat his favourite treat thank you for adding the detail it’s good for anyone else to learn these things that can be done when unsure what might be happening. Experience is so important during times like this. I pray he will be okay and won’t have any lasting disease like Lyme. Hopefully it was a tooth abscess or just a virus. Praying but was so reassured to see all the grain and hay gone from his stall. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@sandrarhea2328]

Excellent job on the video today. You both did a great job as always making it entertaining & informative.

[@margiedevries5736]

Always nice to see Gavin. He's my favorite. 😊👍

[@beckyslife6307]

It's so good to see Gavin with you!!

[@lilly-fq1vb]

Who is Gavin? Is he related to Joel?

[@kens.3729]

@@lilly-fq1vb Gavin is a Friend of the Family that likes to help out on the Farm. A young man by the Name of “Petey” is also a Friend of the Family and he is on the Veggie Boys Channel.

[@reneejmj]

@@lilly-fq1vb They are related by marriage. They said a couple of times (might have been on Veggie Boys channel). Think Gavin's mom married Joel's uncle on his dad's side. It could be dad and aunt instead of mom and uncle. Either way they are kinda like cousins.

I guess William told you. Wow at all the wonderful gifts you are receiving. It isn’t cheap buying supplies for all those horses but it’s heartwarming to see folks helping. You have an amazing group of folks watching. I read most comments that get posted and I’m glad there are still kind people in this world.

[@kimlindsey5178]

I can not tell you enough.just how much l enjoy your channel. I love seeing you and Gavin work together. Gavin cracks me up By the way, saving 10 seconds every manure day x 52 manure days a year means that you guys are saving over 8 minutes a year!! More Joel & Gavin! 👍🏼

[@DragonflyArtz1]

YAY a Gavin Day!! (I saw you jump on that round bale!) If I had a horse, I'd ride Western. I went Horseback ridding when I was a young girl. I have always wanted horses. But it wasn't meant to be. Great Tractor skills there Joel! Love yous guys!

[@oldladyfarmer7211]

It's nice that the Joel & Gavin team are together. I always enjoyed my work more when I was working as part of a team, even if it was only 1 other person. The work went faster, we got more done and we actually didn't make as many mistakes or forget things because someone always remembered. It's fun to laugh & smile while you work too! It gives you a happy heart. God bless. (Western or bareback - there's no other way. ;)

[@michellerichardson2545]

Tip on the big squares...if you don't want them to explode all over when you open them...cut 2 strings leave the rest on. Take the 2 and tie them end to end. Slip them under the remaining strings and place at the point you want hay. Take the strings around the back of the bale and tie. Cut the remaining strings. This keeps part of the bale contained. I fed 1800 lb squares one winter and this kept me from having a huge mess.

[@samstevens7888]

I grew up riding English saddle, to be expected as I was born there lol but I always rode western at my dad's farm in florida. I think both are great for different reasons. I think there is alot of flexibility with western saddles but with all the straps they take longer to put on. For comfort I'm going to say western. When I was alot younger and I did 3 day eventing I was always in English saddle. I think there is alot of grace and elegance to the English riding. I'm not sure you really needed all this but alot of people don't really know the differences especially if they haven't been around horses. But I was on horses before I could walk so I think I have a good perspective.

[@leannekenyoung]

Thanks for sharing that I always rode western and wondered what the difference was. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@bige.3474]

Glad to see that Megan likes haluski. For anyone that doesn't know, it's cabbage, wide egg noodles (sometimes dumplings), butter, and onions. I also like to add ham or bacon chunks. It's spelled haluski and pronounced halooshkee just like Megan said.

[@leannekenyoung]

Thanks for sharing that! I had to turn on closed captioning to make sure I heard that correctly. Then I wondered what in the world it was?! Lol! Thank you for sharing that information. I wonder what the origin of the dish is? Guess I’ll be checking out Google. 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

@@bige.3474 I LOVE PEROGIES!! I learned how to make them from an old German lady who learned from a Ukrainian lady when she moved to Canada. It’s labour intensive to make them but I love making them at Christmas time for my family and they homemade just can’t compare to the factory made ones! I made potato and cheese and we sauté them with bacon and onions and serve with a dallop of sour cream. I also have made the ones with ground beef and onion. One of my all time favourite are mushroom perogies! They have such an incredible mushroom flavour and are inside those little pasta pockets soooo yummy! 🥰❤️🇨🇦🙏🏻

Bye bye have a great nite see you around

[@fairytale_after_dark6696]

Hey, Joel 👋 In the UK dairy cows are in the sheds throughout the late fall, winter and early spring time...they can develope hoof issues like rot and pressure points along the white ring. Vets glue on rubber and compound blocks to the hoofs to relieve pain in the cow. It is supposed to be like one of the inserts humans wear in shoes to help with plantar fasciitis. Do horses have such things available to them when they develope the same issues? Or is it expected the problem fixes itself on its own. Great and funny video today. Gavin is such a hoot and you are a natural teacher infront of the camera with an excellent personality! Take care and all the best from the UK 🇬🇧.

[@beckyp9700]

💜💜💜 Gavin in the videos

[@KnittingmommyArts]

It's been a long time since I've ridden at all. But when I did, it was mostly western riding. Mostly trail rides. I think I've only sat on an English saddle a few times when I was a kid. However, I do love watching horse events and when I watch, I watch both English and western riding. I love watching the riders do both show jumping and dressage just as much as I love watching barrel racing. But my favorite events to watch are reining and cutting. I just love watching a horse being put through their paces. They are truly brilliant animals.

[@wassabuck]

The Dream Team back at it . Good to see the Ladies. Great video as always.

In answer to the question, I have only ridden western. My three horses have only had western saddles. As a fairly novice rider, I like having the saddlehorn to help when going to trot. I haven't ridden enough to develop a good seat yet.

[@Digeroo123]

Perhaps you should have given the weedy hay to the cows, they are now quite so fussy. The design of the hay feed is excellent. The side comes of so easily. What about the copper from the copper tox ending up in the manure? Is that an issue? I do hope that Sriracha does not have Lyme disease, but he seems to have perked up quite fast, so hopefully that is a good sign. I worked at a company where one of the employees got it and it took ages to shift it.

I always enjoyed riding both. My horse was not very good on the eyes, a cribber and didnt like most people or other horses. With that being said he was amazing at jumping and was extremely fast and good at gaming! He truly was the best friend I ever had in life. I was the only person, outside of my dad, he wouldnt put his ears back at. He reached the rank of supreme grand champion during our showing days and spent his final years at the farm he was born at. I miss that guy!

I love riding western it’s how I grew up riding as a kid and I’ve not gone in a few years but I hope one day I’ll do it again in the future. There is nothing as special from seeing the outdoors from atop a horse and walking through the forest. I absolutely didn’t realize when I was a kid just how lucky I was to have all those experiences. I loved every minute of it. I love seeing what wonderful care and attention you give to the horses. I hope the vet gets back to you with great news and it’s nothing but a simple virus. God bless and thank you for sharing your videos! 🥰❤️🙏🏻🇨🇦

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

Many, many, many years ago we had horses and mostly rode western. We were in 4-H and we participated in horse shows, county and state fairs. Several of the others who had horses boarded where we were, rode english and a couple even did dressage. Those were some of the best days in this Grammy’s life. Some of the other girls are still my friends to this day. We absolutely love your enthusiasm and seeing your horses. I’d be very interested in hearing about the horses, are they all yours or are they boarded, what types of breeds are there? Do you ever ride? I also love how the horses know which stall is theirs. It’s a lot of fun watching and it takes me back to my youth every time I watch a video. Thanks for sharing with us! 🐴
