I'd like an indoor area specifically to work horses for conditioning, do a little jumping and work on driving basics. Bitting rig and ground driving mostly and having the ability to work horses no matter what the weather outside. We have access to an awesome indoor arena nearby that is 70X170...

Don't worry about the "formal training" right now. In my opinion horses AND kids learn the most when they don't even realize you are teaching (or training) and it will pay off for you later if right now you focus on playing around and having fun and getting to know her better and building her...

I shouldn't even post because I know nothing about it, but I can't help but laugh a little about the fact that with humans it is called "in-breeding" and everyone is horrified when they hear about it but in horses it is called "line-breeding" and people are proud about it and promote it. I have...

Those of you that work your horses and drive a lot in the winter, what do you do? We worked and drove two horses this week that have full winter coats and though they were not worked that hard, both of them were soaked and sweaty in a very short time. I'm wondering if part of the problem was...

I bring this topic up every time the weather gets really cold and hear from everyone - the forum, other horse owners I know, our vet, etc. that the horses do just fine and are happy and very healthy as long as they have access to a run-in or shelter from wind and from rain. I just read an...

You gave him honest, thought-provoking, mature advice and you probably saved him years of denial and torment. You may have sped up his decision making process but I highly doubt what you said or did "made him gay" and anyone that says or thinks anything along those lines is an idiot. Try not to...

Thanks to everyone for your kind words Our family had such a great time this past year. It was amazing and overwhelming to receive the all-star results and to see our final placings. I am so proud of my kids and of our horses and I am throwing the horses a little all-star aka rock-star party...

congratulations to you....versatility is quite an accomplishment, it shows you can hold your own in everything - halter, jumping, driving.....

OK...I I have to admit I got a little bit weepy reading your post, it's late and I'm tired but there is more to it. I absolutely agree with you that all-stars DOES mean something, it means a lot about your hard work and dedication. I've heard all the same stuff you have and I've been in the same...

Congrats to you, you have beautiful horses and Monte Carlo is so striking, my son always points him out -- he loves those big spots.

CONGRATS to you...it says a LOT about you to do well with the young ones. I see so many that don't handle being in the ring well with being naughty or short attention spans, etc. I love to watch the little stars that are well mannered and attentive and obviously you have one -- beyond the...

What a cutie!!! Congratulations, isn't it exciting!!! I'm betting it is just the first of many.

Congratulations to you on your success! Glad to hear you were able to get back to the show ring, I bet it felt good getting back into it and you should be very proud that a horse you bred and raised did so well - - that is what every breeder big or small should be striving for. Also, Peeping...

OMG........I LOVE him! I've seen him at several shows.....he is my favorite color and overall look but beyond that, he has fire and personality ++++ and is full of himself and I just love to watch him in or out of the show ring. I predict this award is just the first of many. CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats to you! Could you post a pic of your chariot horse? That is a class I love to watch and think is soooo cool and have not yet had the courage to participate in. We've got an awesome potential chariot horse in the barn, problem is, I can't stop him.

Congratulations Adam! I've always been so impressed with all your horses. You do such a great job with every horse you show - they are all always trained, conditioned, prepared and groomed to perfection and treated wonderfully in our out of the show ring. You are also someone I always enjoy...

Congratulations! It wasn't that long ago that we got our first all-star and I remember how thrilling it was (and still is) and with your beautiful mare it will be the first of many. I love the look and spirit of the Windwalker related horses. If all goes well I just might be seen in the show...

There have been several posts lately about drunk drivers. My husband does commentaries for the ABC affiliate in Minnesota and went after drunk drivers in his Tuesday commentary. If you're interested, here is the link ... Drunk Drivers Commentary

................news, information, gossip, advice, updates, events, etc. from your state or province to be considered for inclusion in our next AREA VI Journal column. We are working on the column now and the deadline is December 30th. Thanks to those of you that have already taken the time to...

Awesome price...but only if the wormer is still effective and I have no idea if it is or not. Does anyone else know the answer or is there anyway of knowing for sure? I think I saw this question once here on the forum but I couldn't find it when I searched. They have a couple of cases which...
