my minis are all lunging very well and follow on leads. Now what ? I need some really good videos for training more advanced moves with minis. Any suggestions.

I watched the whole service too and was very moved by it all. I'm glad it was kept respectful especially with the children right there. Did you catch how "into' the service the daughter was? You could just tell how much she loved her dad even before her speech at the end. I especially hate...

Has anyone ran into this? My male dog was neutered the first week of June. Today I found him "tied" to my female that I did not want him bred to. I'm sure he's infertal but am surprised that he would be capable of a tie.

I wouldn't take any chances with coyotes. In my area, they regularly take down deer, sheep and any dogs or cats that are left out at night. We live in a nieghborhood that is next to a wild field area and they come right into your yard. they have plenty of other wild animals to eat but our...

thanks for the advice. Since I'm a newbe, I hate to bug the vet with every little thing like an overprotective mother. lol I have been giving them some apple pieces at night. Do you think that did it? He is now eating, grazing and acting like his old self. I did see a green discharge from...

that what I thought but what do I do? Just wait and see, give him something or take him to the vet?

one of my minis is acting strange this morning. When I let him out this morning, he was not been eating like usual. He tries to eat but then stops and looks at his rump for long periods of time while keeping his tail very still. I've rubbed on him and he doesn't seem to have a painfull spot...

Had that problem with my yearling. Vet said to exercise him through water, sand or tall grass to make him pick up his heels. I didn't have any of these so he said to walk up and down a pretty steep hill that we have. We have not had any more problems since. Vet said its pretty common and if...

thanks, I'll try the stick idea tomorrow. Since they are just starting their training, I'm having to tap on their sholder or butt sometimes to get them started so I'm already too close. One of my horses got a little attitude about the grass. I'll keep working with them.

I'm working with my under two year old on halter training. He is doing much better with walking and stopping but keeps walking too close to me. When I push him over, he seems to be confused. What am I doing wrong. I'm holding the lead about 8 inches from the halter. Also, is there a way...

Is it right, we have to wait until they are 3 years old to start lunging?

does your type have a replaceable battery? I notice the other brand does but the parmak is much cheaper.

no need to be sorry, I'm the one who asked the question. I appreciated all the helpful advice, just thought one responce was a little put downish. (not yours) I didn't realize that my tiny stallion could become so dangerous. We will certainly take the necessary steps to keep everyone safe...

Didn't ask for any appology. Just one responce got to me by saying that if I knew so little, I shouldn't have a stallion. All the other responces were great and appreciated. How does anyone know how much I know or don't know. I've seen plenty of simply, easy questions on the forum. No need...

my horse has never "come at me with open teeth" He just tries to lip toward my shoes and I don't give him the chance to lip,bite or nibble. My daughter is 9 and has had two years of horse handling/riding lessons. I closly watch what she does with them. I have read/watched many, many books...
