Cribbing/wind sucking for sure. Just offer a lot of forage and try to keep him busy... But once they pick up that bad habit it's near impossible to stop.

I've never driven on one, but at the top of my wish list is a country road cart from Country Carriages USA. If I had somewhere to store it, I would have it by now Countrycarriagesusa.com

Your ponies will be fine.

Your ponies will be fine.

What are you feeding it for? It's more of a"natural thing" that is widely believed to not work for fly and internal parasites, so most horsemen don't bother with it in favor for proven things. If you don't like heavily deworming your horses, then have your vet do routine fecals and deworm only...

More options can only be better.

Hackney people don't prefer a wide chest... They look for "cleavage". ;-)

A long, sloping shoulder is important for any type of big front-end motion in a horse of ANY size, from miniature to draft. You can find good examples of shoulders in Hackney and Modern Shetlands, since they're bred specifically for big front-end action. Miniatures are not always bred for...

The horse will be way happier as a gelding and WAY more "loveable"!

While a buddy might help some things, a horse is always trying to hope for alpha in ALL members of the herd. Now that he's alpha over you he's not going to want to give up that position easily. Please find a trainer to show you how to be the herd leader, whether your herd is just one horse or...

I do clip in winter... Trace clips at the least... But the coldest we get is MAYBE high thirties overnight. I'm not sure I would clip in super cold weather.

The first horse I bought, the seller had kept him all by himself on a huge property for a couple years. I brought him to a boarding stable and he was beside himself to see other horses! It did make me so sad to know he had been in solitary confinement, seeing how happy he was to finally be...

Some horses thrive by themselves, and some are social that get depressed without a herd, so in my experience it depends on the individual horse.

What does the feeding instructions on the bag say?

I believe many people with therapy horses do use a simple harness (not a driving harness) to keep it in place and comfortable for the horse since it gets a little heavy when manure is in it.

Here, I live in a city and I don't know anyone around here who lets horses graze for even an hour... We don't have any sort of pasture. Horses are very lucky if they even have a dry lot for turnout daily. 95% of horses I know here get a flake of hay twice daily, and not usually any grain. The...

I'd tell him that any future vet bills related to colic or death will be sent to him. Also, I would post "no trespassing or feeding horses" signs on your property.

I'm confused with the five days of training. Five days? Unless you meant five months, there is no way I would consider that to be trained. I'd suggest you find some help to get both of you trained better

Depending on what shows you want to do, you may need to put on an overcheck (or side check). It can be adjusted loosely though. While you don't need to use one, the horse might have been trained to rely on it and that will take additional training to "unlearn." There are pros and cons to...

She was NATIONAL reserve grand champion, or just reserve grand champion at an AMHR sanctioned local level show? Clarifying your details will make better ads and help buyers understand more about her. But if she was National Reserve Grand, that will up her price quite a bit! Use the Nationals win...
