THAT'S THE ONE !!!!!!! THANK YOU!

Looking for what I was told was a cornonet racing bit. It is a loose ring that looks similar to a french link but instead of a flat link in the middle or an oval "peanut" it has a open oval piece ( like this 0 but horizontal of course). My new mare loves it. It is very mild and my trainer has...

OH HOW I WOULD LOVE A THREE HUNDRED PAGE FILE:) I got a simple one which was great and am ordering a couple others. Please tell me all about it when you get it! Kim

Go to civilwardocs.com and you can order copies of all his civil war records ! I have recently used them and was very pleased with the results!

Are you still taping her ears? When the ears are cropped into a long show crop it takes alot of taping to get them to stand on their own. It took about 4 months of taping to get our boxer's ear to stay standing. They were taped for 24 hours and then untaped for 24 hours. Since the breeder had...

Thank you. What is the weather like in the winter? Sheffield is along the lake so I am wondering about lake effect weather

Hubby going to Sheffield Ohio on the 27th for a job interview. It's his if he wants it but we are very happy here in VA. Just wanted first hand accounts of the area and what it's like to live there. Thank you for your input. Kim

I think area and the individual horse has a lot to do with it. I think it is a general instruction saying try it after it looses it lushness ( In my part of Va , it is "lush" around Mar. even though it is not green,tall,or appealing at all!) BUT if the feet hurt then off. Hogan got his muzzle...

Same thing just happened to my gelding. The thyroid stuff is Amazing isn't it. Anyway vet said, no grass EVER except with grazing muzzle and Thyroid med. FOREVER. So no muzzle - dry lot, grass- muzzle always and meds always ( unless vet tells you other wise). Once they have had a bout with...

Have your harness laid in your bag in the order that you will need to put things on. When ready to harness lay out your harness on a fence rail in the order that you need it. This helps me tremendously. I can harness and hitch in about 3 mins or less after everything is laid out. Laying out...

Thank you. I was of the same opinion myself. My driving pony can be encouraged with long and low ( though not too low) as it really rounds him and lightens him, my riding mare on the other hand is the opposite and it only make her heavier or evasive. Thanks again. kim

\ Courtney, Does developing "long and low" help with driving from the rear? Kim

Thanks! I am looking at purchasing a Bashkir Curly with these bloodlines and I was wondering what the performance background was. I found the pedigree but couldn't track down any performance records. Thanks Again. That helps. Kim
