Horrible pic, but this is me at a local trail show riding my daughter's crazy arab/TW mix, Jazz.

Terrible pic, but at least shows his eye. here is "Lays Mister Baby Blue Eyes". I am trying to find him a teal halter.

...whatever happened to "all created equal"? What a mess the world lives it to be so bored that they must create drama. Good thing my horses don't care what I sing when I'm riding them. I love Rudolph. It's also a good thing they don't know the difference between good and bad singing While...

How precious!!! Is the bulldog really young or perhaps a mix? I have never seen one so slender and I love it! I want one. I went bulldog shopping locally two years ago. I put a deposit on a litter that had yet to be born. The guy never called back and his number was disconnected, so I lost...

Yes, framed would be super. Why is it that I can get these of the dog but when I try to take pics of the horses, they are hazy, blurry, or just not neat? Everyone else seems to capture some of the nicest horse pics out there, and with all my fancy camera lenses I still get poo for pics. Oh...

It was a beautiful day on the Oregon Coast so I took the dog to play. Caught one neat pic of her running with a stick, just thought I'd share.

I think you all have me beat. I have a queen sized futon, 275lb fiance, 2 cats, 1 Westie, 1 medium/large mutt. The only thing that gets in my way is that the older cat insists on being right on whatever pillow my head is on. Early in the morning she will wake up to go out (no, she won't use a...

I think regardless of animal type, person, whatever, it is all a question of "right" versus "responsibility". Some people think they have the "right" to breed whatever, or the "right" to have as many children as they want, and others see it as our responisibility to think beyond our own wants...

I know I don't live there, but I am POSITIVE we must have the same friend, maybe twins (both evil)? My friend is identical in every description, except she shows horses and cares only for herself. I went through a LOT of trouble to get her a job and she has done nothing but embarrass me by...

I'm hoping to offer encouragement to you. I can promise you that if you think positive, throw away all negative thoughts and perspectives, you will persevere. I too come from a tragic situation, having lived in my father's truck when I was four, having a child at 15. From there I went on to...

Honestly the xrays were just a bonus. I had one person ask for a written statement from the vet that his teeth were straight (she was from out of town and wanted assurances). It just so happened that he needed a follow-up xray of his abcess on his nose so I had the vet do his teeth xrays since...

....and now a new worry ( I worry way too much). Vet gave me the number for the chiropractor and I called him. He says he doesn't adjust backs, he does range-of-motion therapy. Is this normal for a chiropractor? Is there any chance this is the way to go? Now I'm worried my vet gave me a bad...

I just recently emailed the lady I got him from to gently "complain". She says it is all my fault for keeping him in a stall and that I have ruined him. He is in a stall that is 20' long by 12' deep, gets turned out into a small paddock, has plenty of shavings so how is this my fault? She...

Thank you all for the advice and reasoning. In response to one question about "why" I offered him, the previous owner bred him and that is why I bought him, to breed. He was shown and I was told he was more than pet quality but I choose to allow others to determine if they consider him show...

I had posted an independent ad locally for my stallion in preparation for spring. Pics were of him parked out, standing normally, and just looking at the camera. He is fuzzy now because I just bought him recently and have no decent pics. While I realize that it would be more appropriate to...

First of all, yes I have a call in to the vet and chiropractor but am hoping for suggestions if you have experienced this before. I just recently obtained a new gelding with no history. He is supposedly around 15yrs old and was team penned. Breed unknown but he is gaited. He is medium height...

One more bit of advice that makes miracles on our ranch: make sure that you don't catch them every time you go see them, and make sure every time you catch them you don't make them work or do anything. Go out a few times an hour, give a treat, leave, give a treat again while holding halter but...

Just a note on the celery sticks: Not too big a deal, but celery has been known to cause health issues in many different animals due to the "strings" in the stalks. One giraffe at a local petting zoo choked and died on it. My vet says no for my horses but I am not aware of any specific horse...

First of all, the statement made "chances are you need to sell it more than I need to buy it" is SOOOOO very true. Buyers have the upper hand so don't be lazy. Second, one pet peeve I have is "well the market is bad so why won't you sell your already cheap $750 horse to me for $300?" Well...

Rain Rot is one of my LEAST favorite demons to battle. It took my big horse a year to recover fully, even under vet care. All I can suggest is to make sure you do not use a blanket at all (prevents good air flow), and do not "share" grooming supplies because it is contagious to other horses...
