    Favorite Part of a Horse?

    Same for me! :bgrin I'm also a long hair fan! Most of the horses I work around are QHs with short little manes and hardly any forelock, lol! : It's always special when I get to play around with a horse that has long tresses! :bgrin : There's this one 4 year old morgan mare at this farm...

    UPDATE on the mare I was trying to save

    Well, this mare is 30 years old, and has walked away with some big-time world champ show award like 60 times or something. :aktion033: Basically she's had a good full life, retired, and if she was to be put down now because of this health problem, it wouldn't be a huge loss. If, on the other...

    Trying to keep a horse from being killed!

    A friend/employer of mine has a 30+ year old Morgan mare with bad teeth. I haven't checked her teeth myself to see what the trouble is, but I will as soon as I see her again. Anyway, because of this problem, she is unable to eat enough and has lost a lot of weight. What with winter in Oregon...

    Where can I get decorative feathers???

    Thanks for your offer! :aktion033: If you do want to send me some, just PM me and I can give you my address. I think turkey feathers are the closest to what I'm looking for, since I was comparing different feather pictures on the internet. (Feathers are very hard to find where I live. I only...

    Where can I get decorative feathers???

    Yes, something close to an eagle feather. : Or at least the same shape, which I take it is about the same as a regular bird feather. (These are wing feathers by the way.) I'll take anything between 4 and 10 inches, with original coloring, or at the most - subtle added coloring. (Not fire...

    Where can I get decorative feathers???

    I can't seem to find anything on eBay. :no: I have seen the feathers at WalMart, but they just don't look natural with the loud colors. (I think their painted or something. It makes them look like toys - LoL!) : www.kitkraft.biz didn't really have what I was looking for either. : There...

    Where can I get decorative feathers???

    Does anyone know where I can get some cheap decorative feathers for tying in a horse's mane or tail? The cheapest that I've seen is 2 feathers for $2 (Basically 1 for $1.) at a fabric/craft store. And they only have one kind of feather. I've looked all over, and can't find feathers anywhere...

    Part-time lease question

    Does anyone know what kind of legal form I would need for a part-time horse lease? Or what form number (code)? This is so I can provide a horse owner with a lease form, if they don't know where to acquire one -- I would be the one leasing. Any help would be appreciated!

    Question about colors

    I guess this is kind of NMHR: Could someone please explain to me the difference between a Paint, Appaloosa, Pinto, Piebald, Skewbald, Tri Colored and Odd Colored? And why some of them are considered breeds, and others just considered colors. This would really help me out when it comes to...

    Getting Good Photos...

    Try a FujiFilm FinePix-A-205. It's a really simple digital camera, good for beginners. It's 2.0 megapixels, with a 3x optical zoom, 2.5x digital zoom, and a 1.5" D-TFD LCD monitor. My dad got one at Radio Shack for $100. (I think Wal-Mart might have it for the same price.) Here's links to...

    Should I work the horse before I feed?

    Not exactly. This horse was trained by his first owner, just for riding. He's still learning ground manners, so that's mostly what my friend and I are working on. He is a very good riding horse though! Well, thanks for the advice everyone! I think we'll just wait an hour after feeding to...

    Should I work the horse before I feed?

    This horse dosn't really eat in meals though. His feed in the morning lasts quite awhile, since it's his grazing - insted of grass. (We feed him his hay in the run-in shed.) But thanks for the advice! I'll see if I can do the round-penning in the evening sometime. By the time his food settles...

    Should I work the horse before I feed?

    I'm taking care of a friend's horse for a few days and I was told I could do some training with him. (My friend and I are training him together.) Well, my question is, is it OK to work him before I feed him? (This is a big horse, not a mini.) It's just ground work, no riding. Stuff like leading...
