I would never do it either..could never figure why you would do it and then show the horse so it blooded up and then try and make it stand still properly! They stand all wide bhind or squirmy or plain out kicking..the reason a horse flags its tail is exurberance..or a great croup..nope never my...

I will not get into this too much, but any horse that with NATURAL TALENT AND ABILITY does not need any extreme measures. Please people open your eyes to her ability, that shoulder roll is not man made. I do not know this man, so I cannot vouch for his techniques, but without her conformation...

Nigel, I have been to L'ville many many times and have had only a couple horses make the hair stand up on my arms like this mare. She came from nowhere, has a 2 yr old colt and is trained by a gentleman from the Arabian world. She caused a HUGE buzz in winning her mare class (beating the odds...

This is a mare that showed at Louisville in the Wolrd Grand Championship Fine Harness Horse class. She was reserve champ, and listen to the crowd tell the judges different. This mare came out of nowhere, is a broodmare and is the true version of a Fine Harness Horse Park Trot..enjoy this very...

I had one, Diarmuid and I was fortunate enough to meet up with the Budweiser crew and they told me about "Castille (sp) Soap) and "keep them clean every day"!! It worked, here is a picture of Diarmuid from his first show (with my first attempt at white feathers) and he caused quite a stir...

Agree with Leia..also check his back and stifles/hocks. Any horse I have been driving that suddenly refused to go forward has ended up with either sore stifles/hocks or back. It takes a while for the soreness to actually show in their gait, but they are feeling it when they have to engage the...

Oh my..Dona you KNOW I fell in love with Apache when he was a bitty baby and I still love him. He is so stunning and correct, man I wish he could come and live with me in Canada! Love him love him love him still..you outdid yourself Dona with breeding that boy, talk about a great culmination...

Hence the need for DNA, there were many many instances of hackneys that had one so called bloodline but in acutal fact were not or where used as shetland outcrosses. Once DNA was introduced it to our breed it made a huge impact on the breeding to a standard with traceable bloodlines and...

LOL Leia, no he is not a compulsive hand washer LOLOL Here is a description of OCD What is osteochondrosis (OCD)? Osteochondrosis is a form of developmental orthopedic disease that involves a local or generalized failure of endochondral ossification affecting the epiphyseal and/or...

Poor Winston is out for 6 weeks. He was getting a little hitchy in his rear when showing in harness. So I made an appointment with our local "leg man" vet for a lameness exam. He did all sorts of flexion and pony trotted off with a 2 to 3 on lameness scale (out of 10). He also felt grinding...

well, I've always had the hackneys and got into minis by accident. Had many a good one, broke a ton to drive for others, enjoyed them alot, but in the show ring I was bored and found the zillion halter classes too much. Hence sold the last of my minis, bought another hackney and convinced my...

I broke and showed Winnie last year as a roadster and although green he was competetive. This year he has matured into a driving machine. I ordered this photo from Shane Shiflet. This was last weekend at the Syracuse International Horse Show were Winnie and I garnered a 3rd, 4th and 5th in...

IMHO having children is a life changing choice that hopefully has had some thought put into it. Jon and Kate already had one multiple birth. Maybe (I could be wrong) the doctor told her how many at one time were viable. Surely to heavens somewhere one of then thought about the number of...

This is how I increase motion.. Drag work..by the time these little farts are ready to pull a cart or go in halter class they have chest and butt muscles that will improve their motion. I use leather dog collars on all four feet. They walk walk walk in the drag and then trot a couple mins and...
