Is he actually sucking off the syringe? If he is not there maybe an under lying issue and you may need to get the vet involved. If he is actually nursing on the syringe that you need to get him to nurse off it moving it closer into the bucket each time you feed him. If you understand what I...

I have seen those feeder in small size. Here is the link to Country horse supply www.horse.com/Abetta-Feeder-Large-BRH23.html They have something similier they come in mini sizes. This one is slightly different but I have also seen those same one in mini size. I knowi saw those in mini size it...

Being new to the minis I have a few questions on the whip. As Throughbreds and Standbreds have tightend rules on whips. The whips can only be so long and someplaces there are no snappers. Whips can only be used in the stretch and you have to have to hands in the both lines at all times. I find...

I would never use any chemicals to kill weeds. Especially with young horses and foals regardless of what the lables say. It is to risky to find out down the road that it cause some kind of cancer, abortions or brain damage. I prefer the old fashion way by mowing the grass higher than a lawn. I...

I few suggestions not know eacatly what the wound looks like or if it aggrevated by the splinting. There are two products that come to mind that I have used successfully over the years. One is Derma Gel excellent product that heals tissues and skin very fast it can be bandaged.I swear you can...

hi, Just wondering if there was any news on your surprise. I hope that everything is good with her. It's hard to believe people just dump off horses, and just don't care. If you find them I hope they get brought up on cruelty to animal charges. Good Luck to you and her.

Hi All Our local 4-H club asked a local jumper farm to add some mini classes to thier shows. The date is August 15. If you didn't make to the Ohio show then come and have some fun. The show is at Clover Valley Stables in Easton, Ma. It is not to far off of 495, in south eastern Massachusetts...

I couple questions out of curiosity. Is he a gelding or stallion? Does he actually bite and chase himself? My reason for asking this is, I have seen a few horses do this, and the vets can't offer any explainations as in your case. I always thought that is was a pain issue related to ulcers. I...

Hi, Yes the person who bought him also pulled the coggins so that rules out the vet. He also tried to find out how he ended up down there, but he couldn't get any info. There were a few in the sale that day. Nobody really offered any info on him as to weather he drives or not. I thought if I...

I have trained standardbreds for many years. I think what would help a great deal would be to have two people on either side with long lines to keep her straight. This way she cannot turn around or not be allowed to back up, or lunge forward. The lines should be held not to tight but enough to...

Hi, I am looking for anyone who may recognize this fellow. A friend bought him from a auction in New Holland, PA (I think). He bought him within the last week or so. He was a stallion and was gelded before he was shipped up here to Mass. To make a long story short he was being shipped all over...

Sorry I haven't been on to reply. I am assuming that you had the old straps left from the big blanket. I would reuse them if possible. I use a stitch ripper to get them off. You can do the same with the bindings. Just rip them out and sew them on to the "new" blanket. They are all ready folded...

Hi, What I have done in the past is use a winter blanket for a pattern. 1) How you do this you lay out your fly sheet flat. 2) Then lay your winter blanket folded in half (so that is like your looking at it from the side) on top of the fly sheet material. Make sure that you lay it in the...

I just did the same thing for my daughter. The day the horse was coming we told him by the way we have a new horse coming this morning. If you saw the look on his face when he saw the sharp looking mini stick his head out. That was priceless. LOL Good for you I am in the same boat as you. Good...

New England has lost its first cutting and when it gets cut it will probably end up being mulch hay. I am paying 9.95-11.95 at the local feed store. Local hay is 4.00 to 6.00 if you can get it but it doesn't look good because it been raining forever. I paid 11.95 for first cut out of New York...

Thankyou so much. The classes will be led. There won't be any driving classes this time around. We have to wait and see how it goes and then maybe we could add them in. Thankyou all again.

Can any one tell me how far apart you space cloverleaf pattern and pole bending poles? And how far the distance from the start to the first barrel or pole should be? Thanks for any info we need it for a up coming show.

I wish we could make it, my daughter is studying for finals. I am origianlly from Southampton it would be nice to get back to my roots. However there will be a bunch of mini classes added to Clover Valley Stables in Easton Ma (south shore) for August 15 and September. The class list will be out...

Sorry for your loss. I have trained race horses for many years and sadly 90% of racehorses have ulcers. I have used many different products trying to treat them. But it wasn't until a few months agoI started using Gastro Gaurd. It really made a believer out of me. It is very expensive and you...

I am a newbie so maybe a little outside perspective may make some since. I think what you would be referring to would be called breed evolution. In the last 25 years horses have been breed to into refinement in order to get the smaller size. That is not to say there is anything wrong with the...
