    Showmanship Halter

    I am in the market for a leather showmanship halter with silver. I have found several, actually ordered one but ended up returning it because it was way to small. So curious as to where everyone is purchasing them. I have seen some really nice ones on the live feed from AMHR nationals.

    AMHR Nationals Qualification

    So I was reading the rules on qualifying for nationals this afternoon. I am kind of disappointed, here is why: Each year I get 10 days of vacation from work, no more no less. (Tough deal but work is what pays for the hobby of the horses, feed, care and showing.) Living in a pretty remote area...

    Pellets or Shreds - Anyone have feelings one way or the other? We accidently purchased 4 bags of the shreds. I soak them, I think they smell terrible. Have one horse who would prefer not to eat them! (He eats beet pulp pellets with no problem) I forgot their beet pulp at home at the horse...

    New Driving Horse

    We we have been ground driving our "non cart trained" horses for a year. This weekend we decided it was time to start thinking about the cart portion of the training. We built a travois from a pattern and instructions we purchased from Tiny Acres out of Idaho. Have to say it works great and my...

    Mud and Manure Balls in coat

    So I just got a new horse, he is a little guy at 28" he is a silver buckskin colt. Problem is he was in an unusual sitation and his former Mummy was not in a situation to get him groomed etc. I have a feeling that he was kept in a mud and manure filled pen with no where to get dry as he also...

    Gelding - Aftercare

    I am going to be gelding my five year old black stallion this spring. I plan to do this before the flies get bad and before he goes to my sisters ranch. It has been a long time since I have had to deal with gelding any size horse. I wondered what you have experienced as fat as the aftercare...

    Gas Colic in Gelding

    I have a gelding who doesn't drink a lot of water and when the weather is colder even though he has a heated bucket to keep the water from freezing he drinks even less. I thought that perhaps giving him beet pulp shreds that was really well soaked with water would help his water intake. We...

    Weaning

    OMG I am so mortified. I just caught my (almost) yearling nursing! Not just on her mother but on a mare that hasn't had a foal since I purchased her in 2007. Now I am trying to figure out what my choices are to remedy this situation. The weather is bad and our barn is attached to two...

    Hauling Miniatures in a "Big" horse trailer

    So those of you that use a full size horse trailer to haul your miniatures how do you do it? Aren't the dividers high enough they can go underneath? Do you tie? Do you leave more than one loose in the back?
