Our foal is two weeks old, and his knees have gradually become more swollen the last week. The mare is on grass hay, and they are in a large pen. He is over at the knee now but was born straight.

My 18-year-old Thoroughbred had been pretty athletic and was a show jumper. He was overworked, tore a tendon twice, and is now retired but ridden lightly. He is getting better, but it seems his stifles are now "popping" as his muscle tone in his rump is low. I had been riding him very lightly in straight lines at a walk and trot and walking him up and down small hills to condition him, but the snow has hit, so riding is out for a while. Any ideas?

I have a warm-blood (Hanoverian) colt whose dam and sire are 17h. I think he'll be about that size. What is your opinion on when a horse of this breed/size should or could be broke to ride?

I have a three-year-old Clydesdale/Percheron mare and am starting to train her. Is it O.K. to lunge her, or should I work her ground driving? I was told that you should not lunge a draft horse. I want to use her to ride. I have already saddled her and ridden her at a walk and trot around the farm, and she does well. I just want to do it correctly.

My 10-year-old Missouri Foxtrotter mare with a mild case of Cushing's disease grass foundered five years ago, but with rapid, excellent treatment, her feet are fine. She has a cresty neck, stays fat on nothing, and did not shed well this summer (first time). I have noticed that she is not as muscular along her topline and hindquarters, but I had been contributing that to not enough riding. What can I feed or administer to her at this stage to avoid full-blown Cushing's disease and help with the current condition? I've read about using Chaste Tree Berry, other "natural" products, and pergolide (which I understand is expensive and must be used for a lifetime).
