snoopy - 2014-10-14 7:23 AM He is an older horse so I started him on 1/4 pill of prevocox sp? a day, I will inject him in the spring, but even when he has run out of the gate he doesn't want to stop, and the other lady was right, no amount of muscle or strength will stop a horse if he doesn't want to, I have always tried to pull him to the left afterward, on the day of my wreck, someone said I wasn't sitting down in the seat asking him to stop, well I'm sorry but when it got to the point of him running away, my seat was the last thing on my mind!! I would try the open field, but again not sure he would stop, I might have to practice in the closed pen at home as long as I can before snow, then get him injected
Why do you want to continually work the horse at home prior to injections? This is backwards thinking, if the pain, inflammation is already there it is just going to make things worse. Get the horse injected then work on closed gate at home.
My thinking was that the prevocox would help with any pain he may have temporarily till I do get him injected. Didn't know if I wanted to get him injected this time of year.

Then don't work on the barrels until you can get him pain-free.

Have you ONLY given him 1/4 pill of previcox each day (57 mg)? If so, you aren't dosing it right. You need to give a loading dose of three 57 mg (or 3/4 tablet of the larger 227 mg tablets) for the first day, and then 57 mg a day after that. If you miss a day, you have to give the loading dose again.

But if you aren't willing to take this horse in for a complete lameness eval at this time of the year, then don't run barrels until you do. It's not fair to the horse.

I had this exact same problem with a horse I bought recently. She would kick into another high powered gear coming home that would scare the living heck out of you and I really was scared for my life. There was no stopping her either. It turns out that her teeth were horrible and on top of that she had terrible ulcers. Once I got those both straightend out and healed and she started to trust that it wasn't going to hurt anymore she started to listen to me and now she stops easily. I never even think about it coming home anymore. It was a pain issue and I think she was just running from the pain.

I did recently get his teeth done, but have not had him checked for ulcers. I may get him scoped.

Dont spend your money on getting scoped, the moneynthat cost will buyna months worth of compounded omeprizole. Same out come. Either way. Do thenomperizole and start on previcox. Bet u have a different horse.
