Currently I am living with my Mother in Elizabeth, Colorado. We live on an acre which houses her 48yr. old horse! “Pogo” has been my mom’s companion for 31yrs. now. He is a gorgeous Roan gelding about 14 hands, a mix between a Welsh pony and an Arabian. His face is almost completely gray now and his teeth can’t be floated because of his age. He doesn’t need them to be! He gets fed and pampered three times of day and is in perfect health.
Currently he has diarrhea and we are looking for a way to solve the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Ess wandered around a 1/4 section (160 acres) for decades thereafter, ghosting up on silent hooves to hang his head over your shoulder, checking out whatever you were doing… We called him a ‘reverse roan’. He’d go dark in the winter and white during the hot KS summers. At the time of his demise you could put two or three feedsacks in his sagging old back. Not sure what this proves, but hard work wasn’t on HIS list 😉 … He ate mostly prairie hay with occasional treats of alfalfa. not so much special supplements! We still miss our equine ‘yard art’.
