    Tongue over the bit

    I think you are talking about 2 different things. A nose band attaches from one side of the bridle to the other over the nose, keeping the blinders in place. The cavesson is for keeping the mouth shut so they can't get the tongue over the bit. the bridle should always have 2 wrinkles in the...

    Any tricks to get used to the clippers

    I have heard some people use battery operated massage balls. However the only way for them to get used to it is to keep clipping. Most of them get better the more they are clipped. I almost think it is the actual noise that bothers them. If you have to use tranquilizer so be it. Some times they...

    Having the touch.

    I usually have them in the cart with in a week. It depends on the horse thou. Imo people spend far to much time line driving they get goofing around and don't pay attention. I believe they get board and can pick up bad habits. My horses all walk, trot and back and of course steer. Horse learn...

    Light sensitivity?

    I have a 4 year old mare. Who this morning passed out on the ties, fell down and got up a little wobbly, and then acted fine. I am almost certain that it is caused by changing in light? I happened once this past winter when it was extremely bright taking her out of the dark barn she got wobbly...

    Mystery buckle

    The buckle is not for hanging hopples for racing. Actually it is used for a trace. The rest of the trace part is missing. If you look on the other side of the mystrey buckle is another d ring that is where you would put a thimble. You use the thimble and the trace attached and you don't need to...

    Need some help

    Hi Miss Molly, I do not agree with the fly biting theory. I live in New England as you do and it is not possible to have flies up here this time of year as it is far to cold. I have a gelding that has the same thing. I believe they are a type of mite. He has had them before. This is how I treat...

    Creep Feeding

    I am wondering do you creep feed your foals? I have always creep feed our large horse foals. Do you do it the same way or is one way better than another as far as setting up a pen? Pic of how you do it would be great.

    Worm Resistence

    horrific case of neglect

    That is the sickest thing I have seen in a long time. I hope the owners are arrested and sent to prison where they aren't fed. I cannot believe how people can do things to animals that love and trust you. It is sickening. Prayers

    Houdini

    I have seen them do the same thing. They manage to pull it off over their heads. Smart cookies If you cross the leg straps and tighten them up he should not be able to do it. One more thing is to tie a string ( I use baling twine braids) tie it to the back d ring under the tail and to the...

    Questions about Thumps

    My race mare had the thumps and actually it happens quite a bit in racehorses. I started her on a calcium supplement called Dia-Cal and she never had it again. My mare also had anihidrosis. She would not sweat. The heat really took a beating on her. I started her on a product called One-AC and...
