Thank y'all! He has improved immensely since i brought him home and i cant wait for him to settle in completely! Considering that he hasn't done anything but come into the barn for the farrier and occasional vet check i should give him more credit I guess ;)

Hello everyone! So I just bought this drop dead gorgeous buckskin stallion who is half brother to my amazing show gelding (I just couldn't resist having another from the same great sire!). But anyway, I am having the hardest time keeping his behavior in check when other minis are around, even...

Hi friends!! After some medical issues with my gelding last year we have decided to basically retire him:( with that said, it's time for my young gelding to step up! He has shown before but mainly in halter. He is FULL of energy.....and I mean full..... he is almost four so the baby excuse...

Oops! sorry for not including that info! she is on about 3 cups of legends performance pelleted a day! She is getting regular grass hay which she gets about 2 flakes daily. I don't give her any supplements either. she is really just skinny on the top-line and booty :)Thanks!

Hi all! I have some questions! QUESTION 1: I have a mare that gets stressed over little things. For example: When herd members leave for a show ( even just for a few hours) and when she leaves for a show. She will go start laying down and get up and down for a while, will act fine and then...

Hi all, For the two years my gelding has been having some slight lameness problems, only turning tight to the left now and especially in the cart. when it first started the farrier noticed that he had some hoof wall separation, so we fixed that over a few months and now it is gone. I kept him...

thank you for your responses! unfortunately I cannot turn them out at night We have tons of coyotes, fox, dogs, etc. otherwise it would be so much easier! I have heard about the fly sheets, they don't work?

Hi there! So here is my dilemma, I have two jet black horses and one black and white pinto horse. I turn them out in the morning until about 11 then turn them back out between 4 and 5, I don't want them out in the harsh part of the day because of the heat and the sun bleaching so they get...

Hey y'all! I live in the bipolar weather state of Virginia where at the moment we have 6 inches of snow (again)! I am dying to clip my munchkins and next week it will be above 40 all week, being 60 on Wednesday! Would it be an OK idea if I clipped next week with the good weather, let them get...

Hey all! My Black gelding has the worst time not getting sun bleached! I hate turning him out in the summer in the day time but I cant turn them out at night because of the coyotes I turn him out for a few hours in the morning and few hours during the evening until dark. But yet, he still gets...

Reward is always awesome! My gelding who is lazy gets treats and then a pad of hay in his dry lot after practices. My...

Hi again! I am hoping to breed my mare in the spring and I want some thoughts and info on AI. How many have had luck? Costs? Do you know of any farms I could look into? Thanks again!

thank you guys for all the info! I am going to keep it, I bought her with her baby at 1 week and it was a blast training him and watching him grow and I am excited to hopefully do it again!

So I have this awesome mare that has had babies before, I bought her two years ago with her last baby. She is 12 now and I was just throwing around some idea of maybe breeding her again, not that I will, just thinking. I have heard that it can be dangerous to breed a mare after a break from...

1)I cut my buckle off! it got stuck between the slats of my cart and while I was trying to get it out my horse was green and freaked out! it was a rough experience for both of us, in my book, buckle = Bad. I went to a show last year and she had her reins buckled together and her horse freaked...

My gelding is a cart horse, he does well in halter but he loves to cart, and is pretty good at it:) But I want to keep him fit. I have heard from other trainers that they cart 2 miles 3 times a week, other trainers say that they lunge and others just cart like they were in a show...... what is...
