I really do appreciate those trying to help me within my means and what I have. Every time I post I do with much hesitance wondering how much lecturing I will get. Everyone starts somewhere and I feel we have provided a nice loving home for him. I consult with Tony from Little America every week...

So sorry ((((((hugs))))))

Thanks for all your help and advice! Btw he is in a dry lot not a stall but its not big. It is big enough for him to romp around.

To answer some questions.. The gelding is two years old and my daughter is 10 and pretty small. It's her horse and so far we have never had an issue like this (since January). He has never lended that he would kick and has never tried to. He has been a pain about going out sometimes and does...

Today we tried to take Stoney for a walk as we try to do at least every other day. We go down our road and back which adds up to almost two miles. Our main goal is just de-sensitizing him and keeping good manners on lead. For some reason he seemed kind if spooky. As we headed out the driveway my...

I am looking for options to not clipping.. But helping him shed out before summer hits here in Texas, we had another cold snap but on warmer days its already heating up

Has anyone tried this? I have read it in a few books. You cover the horse in baby oil, leave it for over night and then wash the next day. Supposed to really get all the loose hair out and almost slick them

I was worried about doing something that would cause him to not want me to touch under him or make future sheath cleaning difficult. We are in the beginnings of clicker training so we can just add it in we have plenty of time for him to learn. Him nor my daughter will be ready to start showing...

So if I tap it with a whip or something maybe, would that be enough? I looked into it and most suggest to make them run or trot and they should pull it back up but that didn't seem to help. I think we will try both.

Sorry for the late response ... He does seem to be able to retract fully

Kind of a strange question but since our little guy has been gelded I noticed that I find his sheath more noticeable and I figured it was because he was shaved for his gelding. (He was a partial criptorchid) but also on walks he has been dropping and since we are walking he only drops a little...

Yes and bees, poor little bees, they are confused and there isn't any flowers :/ they always swarm my chicken feed looking for protein. Thanks for the clipper suggestions I am on the hunt now I made a separate post (I hope that ok!) I only have one horse. I don't want to spend a lot and also...

Thanks! There are so many different clippers out there it's so hard to know... Looks like I won't get away with spending less than $100. My dog is a GSD/collie mix but has a short coat. I think I will stick to extra baths and maybe try a baby oil technique I read somewhere (actually was for...

I am clipper hunting, I am trying to be frugal. I only have one horse and not positive we will get into showing or not. I just want to be ready to clip this little guy once it's time. It's gotten pretty hot the last few days so I may go ahead and do his head and neck. (I have never clipped a...

well the dates for Feb are the 9th and 10th which is the weekend so those are out anyway, I am just going to keep his appointment for next Wednesday and pray for the best. The weather has been amazing and it feels like spring

My Aunt told me this on FB I am not sure what she means, the vet didn't mention this. I don't want to sound dumb by asking but I am having a hard time finding info on it... Make sure that the signs are right before you geld him. It should be in the knees or below. Look in the almanac or pull...

Thanks, I would like to know too about the clippers above, but need to find in US

I am just wondering (and trying not to ask a dumb question!) is it better to clip or let your horse shed out in Texas? We are having a really warm winter most days are staying in the 70-80s. We are not showing our little guy and haven't even thought about investing in a clipper. To my...

Beautiful!!

We load him in on the side he can't get in the back we have a big couch back there that doesn't come out. He is 28" right now he is almost 2. I like the idea or a bag of shavings but I would be afraid he would try to avoid it and jump over it. I don't think he would come out we live out almost a...
