She actually tried to stop to flirt with a gelding while I was on her on Sunday. She got a swift kick and a job to focus on, and didn't try it again...she was great after that.Promisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12338935046262804307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-19484180679919986652011-05-03T14:10:19.175-06:002011-05-03T14:10:19.175-06:00O the woes of owning a mare.

I've gotten mine through Valley Vet (Mare Magic) and I'm now trying out HorseTech's raspberry leaves to compare. There's a nice raspberry leaf tea for humans, too - I like the Yogi brand best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-54450651024618088732011-05-03T10:35:12.959-06:002011-05-03T10:35:12.959-06:00I get my raspberry leaves at herbalcom.com.

It definitely helps take the edge off of Rose's cycles, but doesn't get rid of it all together.<br /><br />-DS<br /><a href="http://adventuresincoltstarting.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Adventures In Colt Starting</a>DockStarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17166194299966339760noreply@blogger.com
