I purchased a Wahl Stable Pro Clippers about six months ago, I did not use them for horses last year, but I did use them on my mini Schnauzers. I used the same blade for them for a long time, I had it sharpened and purchased a second blade to prepare for clipping my minis. I bathed my mare...

Thank you all for the information, I must say that I am sorry for starting such an debate . As for the colt he was removed, and I will carefully watch the mares. IF for any reason she may be bred, she will be properly cared for. I want to give a special thanks to nnadams for understanding the...

I have a mare that I have trained to drive. She is green broke, but very stable and a natural in the harness. However it is a battle to get her bridle on. I do have other driving horses that accept it fine. When I trained her last fall, I gradually increased the time in the bridle (her just...

I purchased a mare that has jumped before, I did not have much interest in it, but this morning I was working with her and was curious. I used 2 cement blocks and a board about 1 ft off the ground trotted her to it, told her to jump and she flew over it. My 8 yr old son was watching and is so...

I was reading that you can dye the mane and tail back to its original color to eliminate sunburn. What type of dye is safe to use? Also how do you keep it tidy, I have a buckskin...

Just wondering if anyone has a different feed plan for expecting mares? and at what point in her pregnancy that you change her diet? Thanks!!!!

I am new to horses, and this summer I purchased a stallion (crazy, but he has taught me a lot) He would act up by also rearing up, trying to bite, and all around pushing me around. It did take me a little while to relize that it was me not standing my ground and he knew it. I would do the same...

I know this may stir some debate, and I do have a basis for genitics as I have raised other types of animals, we called it line breeding and there were "rules" to follow to try to prevent problems. So I was wondering what the stipulations are when horses are double bred ( have the same horse...
