It's been 48 hours, so perhaps I shouldn't worry yet, but this poor mare's bag looks like a cows. She's just on hay, and hasn't gone off her feed, but wish there was something else I could do for her. I'M uncomfortable just looking at her like that! LG

Thanks for the advice. We just got the call that they'll be coming for him in the morning, so I guess we'll take it as it comes.

We have a mare with a yearling, and they'll soon be separated when he heads to a new home. He still nurses occasionally and she has a noticeable bag. We're looking for suggestions to ease any discomfort she may have when he leaves- thanks, LG

Last week we went to a show and watched a liberty dance horse dance to 'William Tell's Overture', a neat switch I thought

Thanks Songcatcher! We found a picture of Hobby Knoll's Premier, a son of Jim Dandy's, whose coloring is very similar to your horse.

We're wondering if by chance any of our mare's relatives are/were owned, or known by any of this forum's members. We'd love to see pics. Please just holler out if you know of any of these horses: Hobby Knoll's Premier 10143A Williams Half Pint 72815A William's Rusty Tuckaway's Jim Dandy...

Ok, now I get it Thanks to both of you for your replies!

Our Quicksilver show halter arrived in the mail, and since we've never used a show halter, and I haven't been able to reach quicksilver this morning by email, could we please get some advice from those of you who've used them before? When placed on the horse, the larger removable ring of the...

I do! I do !! plese share- LG

Ok, our foal is going to be in his first- and only show for the year, next weekend. Thanks for the great tips in getting him groomed up and ready. We tried to gently get him used to the clippers (we have only a dog clippers to work with) and today had a 'big horse' friend do the actual clipping...

So how do you all wean when you have an "only" foal? We have just one mare and her one foal. Mom isn't dragged down from him. As long as he has a human with him, he doesn't mind being apart from mom, and mom seems to care less when she's out of sight from the foal,( when out driving, for...

Thanks for your replies. The shirt only has short fringe across the front chest seam; none on the arms. Since it will be her only show for the year, I think we'll use it unless something better turns up The suggestion for hair up tight is a good one-

Is a tasteful ls western shirt with embellishments & fringe along with black pants and black boots a good choice for a child to show in a halter class?

Sorry, not familiar with the the terminology. It's our club's AMHR sanctioned show.

I forgot to ask also- what is required for show halters? The show halters I've seen were very expensive, and since DD may not show them (again/often) I am looking for a less expensive option. Someone sells beaded show halters on eBay for around $20- and there are alot of positive comments...

My DD would like to show her mare and foal in one class each next month. This will be the only show they go to for the year. Our grooming experience consists of brushing, bathing and hoof picking. ( and I only own a good dog clipper with a #10 blade) We live in the midwest and the mare's coat...

We bought these from Horse.com, and like them. However, our mare can knock it around a good deal, sometimes right off the fence. I think if someone was handy, they could make these Abetta®Half Barrel Feeder High impact poly feeder with welded steel hay rack. Mini feeder features a...

Our 13 week old colt has started to rub his head and his hinder against anything he can. We though perhaps he's just losing his foal coat, as the hair around his eyes, ears and muzzle have shed, showing a darker color underneath. However, he has rubbed the hair totally off a couple spots on his...

We bought an EE cart when we bought our horse, but I'd like to look into getting a lightweight cart also. The Hyperbike looks interesting, are there other suggestions out there also? thanks, LG

We live in central WI, and my daughters & I got our first mini just over a year ago. The north eastern WI club that meets near Green Bay is very active- lot of friendly folks. They have 2 shows coming up in Pulaski- July & August. There will be a fun show in September and a fall clinic in Oct...
