Just a comment or two....poniesrule, it should be noted that there is considerable WEIGHT atop a ridden horse(saddle, rider)...this isn't the case with a driven hors. In my observation, some degree of padding may be desirable when using a harness saddle w/o a 'tree', or lesser quality, not as...

Vickie...I could surely get on board with a ban on brainless Hollywood celebrities!! My list of 'bann-ees' would start with the 'K's....but would be LONG!!! ;-)

I'd give her a big pat on the back!

Marty, as usual, you have the gift of going right to the point and saying just what needs to be said!! I couldn't agree more!!

Well, I certainly hope that AMHA will step up to the plate and do the same thing(put the dwarf testing results on the papers(and amy fee SHOULD be small, IMO!)

Thanks for the replies! I did some online 'research' myself, ended up with a Wahl model as well as the Andis 2's to suggest to my friend who asked. She had also 'settled on' the Andis model based on some checking of her own...is ordering those. I will be interested to see if they live up to...

This is long-anticipated, WONDERFUL news!May I add my thanks to John Eberth...and will say, if I were still breeding, I'd be at the front of the line to have all of my breeding stock tested; hope all dedicated breeders will!

A QH person posted on a fb page for NM horsemen today that she'd gotten an email from the NM Livestock Board saying a case had been identified in New Mexico.

Yes, this is ALL only our individual opinions at this point, and Marty makes a good point re: an X-ray. Minimor...with all due respect--isn't it a bit overreaching to state unequivocally what this is NOT, based on your experience with a couple of other horses; even though you may be in your own...

I would agree with BSharpRanch. Looks to me as if someone started trying to 'correct' by hoof trimming after the 'toeing out' was already established...that is, once the filly was past baby foalhood...and by then it's not really possible to 'change' the condition, and you end up by 'turning' the...

I know there has over time been discussion of clippers here; I have been asked for a recommendation of what are considered good 'starter' clippers, capable of doing a 'whole' horse at a time, but light, effective, and user-friendly. I have Double K's, and have had Laubes in the past. but it's...

When I was still actively showing(in AMHA), I never saw anyone drive a pair or any form of hitch of did two or more at any breed show I attended. I never went to a Regionals(didn't have to; had enough points to go to the Nationals(now called 'Worlds")without having to make what would have been...

Generally, ebay isn't the place to buy harness. That one doesn't look to have proper proportions;straps(such as the neck strap for the breast collar and support straps for the breeching, are very 'thin', might well be prone to undue stretching or breakage.Ozark Mountain is one vendor who has...

I recorded,later watched,"Blackfish", recently. I'd heard about it here and there. I was impressed by how evenhanded it seemed to be; was anticipating some PETA rant. Really gives a lot of food for thought; I've been to Sea World in San Antonio; loved the killer whale show, but don't think now...

To me, there really are no scenarios that make any kind of sense from ANY standpoint. Pilot decided to commit suicide, disabled co-pilot, somehow also passengers and remainder of crew? Terrorist, or 'simply' some sociopath, commandeered plane somehow, ordered pilots to fly until plane ran out of...

On my list of movies to see are: Dallas Buyers Club, Philomena, 12 Years A Slave(in no particular order). My kids gave me a Netflix 'trial'? subscription back around the end of last year, but it has run out...drawback for me was it being mailed, as my mailbox is a way down the road...not fun to...

One of the airline security experts who have been being interviewed on major network TV, when asked about the transponders even being ABLE to be turned off, said it was because they needed to be while planes were on the ground at major airports...something about interference with other vital...

What an absolutely 'bang-up' idea, LaVern!! I agree 100%! Anyone worth their salt as a judge should be required to be able to clearly state what they are looking for and what their parameters are....

After this latest piece of information,IF it is valid,I am leaning toward the likelihood that this could be some sort of hijacking...but for what purpose? I really feel badly for the hapless passengers, who had no choice in whatever happened....

I feel SO bad for what all of you having so much cold, snow, ice, and wind to deal with; I could simply NOT cope with such anymore,at my age and stage in life. Nature surely seems to have NO sense of evenness; out here, we have had, for the most part, an unusually warm and VERY DRY, winter--we...
