McKee is the mini that's always keeping me on my toes. We've added a new direction to his training that has been a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy this video of him:

As long as we're sharing feel good horse videos, thought I'd post the latest. Some of you will recognize McKee, Handsome, Mantra, and Magnified from other videos. My filly, the little buckskin is Moonshadow. Can't believe it's been 3 years since I posted about her. Hope you enjoy. Peggy Hogan...

I could really use some input from those who've experienced a dental issue with their mini. Handsome has a molar root that apparently has become infected and has ruptured through the bottom of his jaw. To be clearer, the tooth has not ruptured, but the infection from the tooth created this "blow...

OK....couldn't resist. This is a totally silly video of Mantra being "eaten" by a tree. It's good for a laugh....I hope :-) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2LTt0UDKfk

This is McKee. I've actually taught him to do "scent work." He walks around looking for the mat that has the lavender scent, and then he indicates that this is the correct mat by pawing on it. It is very fun to teach this and I plan on expanding the behavior to include more mats. Hope you...

Grabbed my cell camera to take this picture of our barn kitty JUST as Magnified started to walk over to investigate what on EARTH I was trying to give him for dinner LOL.

Hi gang, I finally put together another video in the series of Mantra and the cart. The link is on the driving discussion section. Enjoy!

Finally got some time to put together a video of using clicker training to introduce the cart. I know some of you have seen and enjoyed the first video; I hope you enjoy this one too.

Hi Gang, Just posted a new video on teaching your horse to accept eye care. Hope you don't need it for an emergency, but it's always good to train for this ahead of time. Peggy OK Tried to post the link AGAIN (arrrggh!) I'm also going to put it in this original post. (edited)

Hi gang, Posted a fun video on training a horse to station. Just got this filmed before the big rains. At least we got some outdoor time. enjoy!

Hey Gang, Many of you have seen this video, but it's that time of year again! Hope you enjoy Handsome's contribution to the Salvation Army. We're headed out again tomorrow to see if we can help raise money. What fun!

I know you all feel this way, but my blood absolutely freezes at the thought of someone stealing my minis or horses. It somehow seems worse with the minis (just don't tell my big horses that). It just scares me silly to think about experiencing that kind of loss.... But then I'm preaching to...

Just got some details from Laura: The minis appeared suddenly in a (completely fenced) back pasture, with a new 8' hole in the arena they'd disappeared from. They hadn't just gone out a hole we'd missed -- that wouldn't explain the tracks in the yard, etc., and no one can miss a local burro's...

Urgent Notice: Potential Danger of Horse Hair This is a public service announcement. In a press release today, the National Institute of Health has announced the discovery of a potentially dangerous substance in the hair of horses. This substance, called "amobacter equuii" has been linked with...

Hi gang, I'm hoping someone knows the answer to this question. When I got Handsome (after years of owning full sized horses) I was so excited I just HAD to send in his permanent papers the minute he was eligible. So the other day I got his papers out and looked at this winter-coated-fuzz-ball...

Hi Gang, I posted a video link on the photo section, but also would love to discuss the topic of what people do when they give a cue and the horse doesn't respond. To the wonderful site monitors....I hope I did this right....don't want to post in the incorrect areas... :-)

Hey gang, Still working on improving cue recognition. Just made a better quality video for those who'd like to see it. Also, I would love to read about what other people do when their horse either doesn't respond to a cue because of other distractions or because they may not know it well...

Sorry, I meant to post this in the other Forum....a well....still appreciating the complexities of this great site... For those that still want to join in the fun, the bath time challenge has been extended until next Sunday. Here's the link to the video showing the challenge. hope you all...
