Hi I am wondering if the Julep cup is being show online?

You can get the class list here. http://www.equineevents.net/Horse-Shows---Page-2.html You can fax or email them to Missy. It is a very laid back show lots of fun for kids and adult alike. See you there :0

I think you are talking about 2 different things. A nose band attaches from one side of the bridle to the other over the nose, keeping the blinders in place. The cavesson is for keeping the mouth shut so they can't get the tongue over the bit. the bridle should always have 2 wrinkles in the...

I have heard some people use battery operated massage balls. However the only way for them to get used to it is to keep clipping. Most of them get better the more they are clipped. I almost think it is the actual noise that bothers them. If you have to use tranquilizer so be it. Some times they...

I usually have them in the cart with in a week. It depends on the horse thou. Imo people spend far to much time line driving they get goofing around and don't pay attention. I believe they get board and can pick up bad habits. My horses all walk, trot and back and of course steer. Horse learn...

She is getting straight timothy hay, and I feed Purina Miniature and Pony feed. Prior to that they were all on Strategy. They are on a dry lot. she is the picture of health and is also the boss mare in the paddock. Im almost thinking I should check her for Lyme's.

I have a 4 year old mare. Who this morning passed out on the ties, fell down and got up a little wobbly, and then acted fine. I am almost certain that it is caused by changing in light? I happened once this past winter when it was extremely bright taking her out of the dark barn she got wobbly...

Hi Miss Molly, I do not agree with the fly biting theory. I live in New England as you do and it is not possible to have flies up here this time of year as it is far to cold. I have a gelding that has the same thing. I believe they are a type of mite. He has had them before. This is how I treat...

I am wondering do you creep feed your foals? I have always creep feed our large horse foals. Do you do it the same way or is one way better than another as far as setting up a pen? Pic of how you do it would be great.

Yes I do know the weights of my horses and I do rotate my wormers. My vets feelings as he has seen more and more young horse with this problem that it starts when the mares are wormed while the are in their bellies. Just his thoughts on the subject.

I have a 1 1/2 year old colt. He wasn't him self for the last part of the summer. I was thinking it was the heat, as it has been extremely hot in New England this summer. He had a sinus infection which was treated and he seem to back on track. However I noticed he seemed to be bloated and...
