Foundering on pasture and ear crud



Hi, Campers,

 My computer is in a snit, won't allow me to snip a line from a letter in 
ridecamp 575. Did I read Nancy from Maryland's letter correctly? That her 26 
yr old gelding will founder on PASTURE? Would this be because her pasture has 
been assayed at 21% protein? Or is this grass founder?? This scares me, 
because I'm about to move Jordan (22 years old) to full pasture....five acres 
all to himself!!  While my grass out here isn't that lush bluegrass Nancy has 
in Maryland, it can get pretty lush. I think it's mostly Idaho fescue, and 
rye grass.

Boy, I sure hope I read that wrong.

Also, re: ear crud. While it's unsightly, I never clip the hair out of my 
horses ears. They're as hairy as Great Uncle Joe's. My horses have never had 
a problem with ear crud..I don't think the flies are strong enough to fight 
their way through that forest of hair!
