Ask the Vet - Head shaking, electrolytes, what to feed horses, and more! - July 2017

Is mowing paddocks with a lawn mower that leaves grass clippings behind harmful to the horses who live in the paddock? How long should they stay off the paddock after it has been mowed? #askthevetvideo

I have a question because I see a lot of misuse with tie downs andget confused with different answers. Could you answer how a tie down actually works and the pros and cons with them??? thanks!

FIRST COMMENT!!! Your answers were very helpful, Doctor!

My horse can frequently have what looks like a slight runny nose during the warmer months. The "snot" is never bloody and is always clear with no odor. Is this a normal occurrence in horses? P.S. My horse lives outside 24/7 in a large grassy paddock during the summer. #askthevetvideo

i have a question about supplements. can you answer the question, what are the best supplements for barrel horses? I have a 14 year old morgan cross that i am starting with barrels. Before i got her, she sat in a field for about years with little human interaction. Thank you!

The barn owner at my barn gives her horses a syrup with electrolytes and they love it 😂

Do I give my horse colicare to protect her? Or only if she has colic?
