Okay, so we've never measured the specific weight of our big horse's feed; we just used coffee cans, and then if they were losing/gaining too much weight, we'd adjust the amount of daily feed. Now I'm reading all of this stuff about having to measure in lbs. how much grain to feed. Please help...

22 fillies!? Congrats!

I tied him for the first time today! I tied him up while I cleaned stalls, and he did surprisingly well! At first he kept moving as far as he could, and rubbing and throwing his head, etc. But after a while of being ignored he settled himself down.. He never did stop and stand perfect, but I HAD...

Thank you both! I should say he is FULL of energy- he runs laps when he's outside. He actually started trying to run laps the DAY AFTER he was gelded. And he just goes and goes and goes. Maybe I should have named him the energizer bunny? lol

Alright, I have a coming 4 year old mini who was just recently gelded. When he was born I did the imprinting, taught him to lead, and even taught him to give kisses. Then he started acting studly. He nips, rears on the lead, etc. He doesn't do anything in an aggressive way, but that doesn't...

She is goooooorgeous! Congrats on your beautiful mare! And her babies are very nice

He's very nice! Lucky you, I'm jealous!

Just curious- what does the salt do? Do you do that for any hay or just suspicious hay? I think I may keep that tip in mind when we put up hay this summer.. lol

I honestly can't believe how you just got scorned for asking a question. ..Kinda makes me scared to ask my own questions. It may not be worth it! LOL Anyways, in my opinion the more refined a mini is, the more it looks like a miniature horse, and not a pony. The stockier minis don't exactly...

Um, are you trying to hurt me!? LOL Just kidding. Now, I don't but any of the products, but I do like a lot of techniques from different trainers. I have Pat Parelli's book, but it's to repetitive for me to get through, plus I'm super ADD. But our neighbor came and helped me work with my...

He's handsome! Congrats! Quick question though- what's the ring test??

You know those handy little carrot sticks Pat Parelli uses? You know, the SIXTY-SOME dollar ones!? Well, I'm interested in that stuff, but don't have the money to be buying one.. The other day at the feed store, I saw pretty much the same thing, but it didn't have a price tag on it. I took it...

Today we found out that it is her platelets. She has absolutely none. The spots are from her blood coming up through her skin because the platelets aren't there to clog the blood. Basically if she digs at the spots to much, or get cut or bruised she'll bleed to death. :[

I ordered this halter with the gold noseband: And I'm also getting this bit: It's 3 1/2", and $5.99. Now keep in mind, I'm not buying it just because it's cheap, but because I can't afford to much. I think it's pretty nice for training and such for now

My mom has a big, beautiful Newfoundland. Her name is Ia. The other day I noticed a stinky smell from her but couldn't figure it out. The the next day I noticed some blood on the floor. It looked like the normal blood from when she comes in heat. We put her up in the kitchen so we wouldn't...

We have a mare who was born with joint ill and has always had some problems since. She just randomly starts limping and could never go on long trail rides. Well recently, we (I had no descision or it wouldn't have happened) had some guys come to drill a gas well in the field. They made a big...

LOL Thanks both of you!

Thaaaaank you!

..to see if she carries LWO. I am currently filling out the form, I will probably send it in tomorrow. I am having one difficulty though. First it asks for her registration #. Buuuut it doesn't say which registration #. I'm assuming AMHA, which is what I put, but I don't know. Also, it asks...

OOh she's big! Pretty though. Hope your baby comes soon! Also, your little helper is very cute! What kind of dog is that? I thought it looked like a Swiss or Bermese, but IDK.
