It is a pleasure reading your articles. I have a comment/question concering your most recent article I saw in the digital “Horse” Magazine. As many owners, I have had encounters with sarcoids with my animals. I was led to have my vet use the injectable intratumoral drug, Regressin, on what was disgnosed as a fibroblastic form of sarcoid. It worked systemically; while the three injections the mare received over a course of 9 weeks, were directed exclusively at the largest tumor in the right mandibular area, the other two tumors, one situated far back on the right shoulder and the third on the left midsection of the neck, though a little smaller, were affected. Now, two years later, there is not a recurrence. The mare is healthy and I feel this drug is overlooked. Not all horses experiecne such a drastic success. But the recurrence rate with Regressin is quoted as being only a possible 20%, and this is a much better prognosis than all the other treatments I have researched. Your and others’ comments?
Thanks,
Donna Harrison

I have a yearling colt who had a 2in by 2in bleeding fibroblasic sarcoid on his neck and my vet recommended against surgerically removing it because it appeared to be very aggressive. So, I searched the internet and found a forum that suggested using Crest Whightening toothpaste on the tumor. I felt that I had nothing to lose since the autoimmune diet we put him on caused a near colic episode. It was a bloody, pasty mess for about 3 months, but now it’s completely healed and his coat has grown over the scar. I don’t know how it worked, but it did. I just thought it would be something to mention because it was so easy and nonevasive. Thank you for your time, Kim

I have an 18 yr. old mare that I ride on trail rides and just for fun. She is overweight and this year I am having a problem with my saddle slipping. Is that because she is overweight or because of a wrong fitting saddle . I have tried several different kinds of saddle pads. I have a lightweight trail saddle. She is Quarter/paint cross.
Also , how do I tell if she needs joint supplements or is just being lazy ? She does not limp.

Thank you,
Debi

In a recent one in The Horse, (Hyaluronic Acid and Steroids: Effects on Equine Cartilage Cells), you stated 81% of the 9.3 million horses in the US are in equitation or performance. I am working on a grant proposal for tendon research in performance horse and would like to use this statistic. Do you have the original source of the data or was this something you calculated yourself? Any source of reference would be most welcome.
Thanks so much!

I am the General Manager of Promat Inc. and we manufacture the STABLECOMFORT horse stall flooring system. Incidentally we advertise in HI and have for approx. 5+ years. In the article Nancy mentions rubber stall mats and suggests fastening these mats to the stall walls. I would like to introduce Dr. Nancy Loving to the STABLECOMFORT product as this is exactly what should be recommended in this article. We have many vet clinics and thousands of very satisfied horse owners using the STABLECOMFORT stall flooring system all over the world. When I read an article written by a vet and do not see any mention of this type of stall flooring I become disappointed quickly.
Please send this on to Dr. Nancy Loving so that she can become aware of the wonderful benefits STABLECOMFORT provides the horse mainly and the horse owner as well.
Thank you and please for the sake of horses throughout North America please send this message on.
Yours truly,
Andy Jenkins
