Chipping means it has been to long in between trims and the horse is self trimming. Cracking can be caused by a number of things. Hoof dressings will "clog" hooves so to speak and not let them be hard and dry which is what you want. My filly gets trimmed every 2 weeks in summer and every 4 in...

I bought my filly on a private treaty. Had a great experience with it and would do it again in a heartbeat. I honestly had never heard of a private treaty before I inquired about her. So to me it was all new. The breeder I bought her from only has 1-2 foals a year and tries to place the...

Thanks guys, I went to the show last night to see how they show. Some were in t-shirts and shorts and some were dressed to the hilt. They show western style in halter so I am thinking just starting with a leather halter with some silver on it. And go from there. I'm mainly gonna just go and...

I used to show 4-H as a kid and had the best horse ever. I know it will be fun and with hubby being 6'7" and my filly being 28in tall the pics will be priceless

So I was gonna start small and just do our local county horse club shows. They only have one mini/pony class and a 2 and under class for her to enter in halter. But I want to get her used to the hustle and bustle of things other than our house. I would need to get a halter, not sure which...

My parents live in NW Phoenix and I will be there for most of next year. My hubby will be deployed and I will be with my family while he is gone. I will have my mini there with me. The Bridle and Bit is a great resource, I still go on the website to jsut check out things back home. The...

A breeder I know was talking to the UC Davis lab about a filly she bought and had tested. She was told that since she had the paw prints she was homozygous. Well the lady at UC Davis said that there is no marking that will show a horse to be homozygous. Only DNA testing to prove it. She said...

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I will pass this info on and see if this helps her.

I have a friend that doesn't have internet access so I'm trying to help her out. She is looking for some pics or info on some horses. She is looking for information on: Kegleys Crusher a 1985 sire Fishers Painted Doughnut a 1998 sire Millers Double Red Kiowa a 1994 dam I have registration...

I have a Quarter horse gelding that cribs, and yes he does burp. It ahs been witnessed by our vet and he was astonished. If Ed cribs to much even with his cribbing collar on, air simply finds a way to work upward and out his mouth. He doesn't try nor can he control it. He is 34 and has...

I went looking for it too and even did a search and didn't get anything but shampoos. Do you have a direct link as I would love to see the pink blanket.

My trainer growing up had and still has a AQHA stallion. She would use a leather halter to breed and a nylon halter for all other purposes. The smell was different and he knew the difference before it was ever put on him. If you brought out his leather halter and went to put it on him he...

When I first started trimming my girl rasping was so hard. I thought it had to be my rasp and found out it was me. That and my filly has really good hard feet. A firend of mine that tought me to trim loves when I head her way cuz she uses my rasp, I don't mind cuz she helps break it in. Yes...

I've been trimming my own mini since she was about 2 months old. I learned from books and from a friend of mine that is a trimmer. Honestly I don't see where they are finding any difference. The only rule when trimming that you need to follow is...LISTEN TO THE LIVE SOLE. That being said...
