What's the difference between posting too high and 2 pointing? What =
about posting above the saddle without any contact with the saddle? My =
horse is too bouncy to not compensate and I can't yet do a motionless 2 =
point (my feet get numb), so I post above her. Before you tell me how =
terrible for my horse this sounds, people at rides that I was riding =
with, said that I looked fine. I'm not doing a full post, just rising =
and falling slightly. But is it harmful? It's very comfortable and =
stable.=20

Also, I posted the original gut sounds question. After reading all that =
has been written, I have some more questions. As for getting the horse's =
gut in to the best possible shape, isn't that what the probiotics are =
for? Not to mask any problems, but to prevent them? If I used them, =
could I mask a potential problem? I want the vet to see all that is =
wrong with my horse. Also, is it possible to harm a horse by giving too =
much? I know I'd be wasting money, but would there be any health =
consequences? How long does it take for them to "kick in"?=20
I
s there any diff. between Dynamite, ABC PLUS and the blue green algae =
stuff? Are they all mineral supplements? Would you want to use all 3 or =
is this an expensive overkill?

Thanks
