So it's time for my nearly semi-annual training question. I have a young pony who is a doll under saddle, she goes in a cute frame, engages herself naturally, jumps a course and all that jazz. She learned to leg yield off the left in minutes. But she will not bend to the right or leg yield...

I posted a while back (December?) that two of our horses had been infected with Lepto and had contracted uveitis. Well, we've now learned that all of our horses were infected, and one more has gotten uveitis. Thankfully the one who most recently acquired it is almost already ok and they can't...

Ok, I did something very stupid at work tonight and sliced my finger open very well. I put it under water and put a bandaid on it but had to get back to work. I don't think it needs stitches, it just hurts a lot and has been bleeding off and on since it happened (around 6:30). My problem is...

I'm look at career options right now, and I'm very seriously intrigued with the prospect of becoming a pilot. Is anyone a pilot that could give me their opinions of flying as a profession and also a hobby? (I'm getting my Private Pilots License anyways, but would love to talk to anyone who...

Just begging people to keep us in your thoughts and prayers - one of my horses contracted Lepto, just when the vet thought she was over it it reappeared, we're not sure if we're going to be able to get her over this, and we're scared for the other horses. One other mare has started having eye...

Well as some know, I went to the Canadian Arab National Championships in late august. I took my Arab/Welsh Cob gelding, Teufelchen. He was a little high strung. He was occaisionally dangerous, occaisionally brilliant, and always himself. I'll say this much, I -never- had to worry about him...

Well I got my four wisdom teeth out today, was wondering if anyone who's been through this had any advice to help?! I'm going to the arab Canadian National in a week so we're hoping I'll be reasonably ok then. They put me completely out, I was very VERY sick for two hours after I woke up...

I just needed to vent and put up a memorial somewhere for my cat, 'Bear', who we lost yesterday. He was a real character, we have an older kitten (5 months old) and Bear immediately adopted him - the kitten would jump onto "Bear's Chair" and Bear would clean him up as the kitten tried to nurse...

Ok, I tried to find this in the search but couldn't really find the info I needed. We have a VERY VERY long-haired cat, and yesterday I was petting him while watching tv and felt a bump on his head. Long story short he's got TICKS and LOTS of them. My mom pulled some out (well a couple fell...

So, we had our very first horse show of the year yesterday, and it went pretty well! We took our 6 y/o canadian warmblood mare 'Mia' and my 4 y/o crazy welsh/paint pony mare, 'KC'. This was KC's first time off the farm unless you count the stock auction we bought her at :o. She loaded better...

Well I'm feeling a bit frustrated, wanted to know if anyone else has been in this situation. I have a gelding who I ADORE. He's a big welsh cob/Arab and hauls me around (I'm 5'1" 95 lbs so not that hard for him) and is happy to also haul a trainer we have working around(She's 5'9" and 150lbs)...

This could be related to minis or big horses, but right now I'm in a "situation" and we're not quite sure what to do. We've had this pony for sale for ages, and yesterday someone came out to look at her. I got the impression that the horse didn't like them - she even tried to bite one of them...

I was wondering if anyone had learned a second language (not in school) and if so, how did you do it? I'm trying to go on a world backpacking trip next year, and would like to have at least the basics in some languages so I won't be totally lost! Mostly looking at audio CDs and software - I'll...

Just wanted to say such a big thanks to Bonnie, she did a reading on my riding horse and so we found out what was wrong with him. Poor guy was really out, but the chiropractor came today and fixed him up : Also wanted to say what an amazing woman Bonnie is! I'm so thankful that this is...

Well I know some of you have had tons of experience with big horses, so wondering if you had any ideas. I have an ArabX gelding who has a tendency to be a bit hot, but the last few times I've ridden him he has been so out of character and I'm kind of stumped. He's always had halting "issues"...

I'm out of commission for a while due to a riding accident, so been going over some show pics! Just wanted to share some of my pretty boy. Please excuse me in the pics...I've switched over to dressage now, but before I was a hunter rider attempting dressage :lol: As it was, my pony (horse)...

I've been working with this pony for two months, and had this brilliant idea to ask people about his one (large) problem on here, maybe someone will have ideas that I other people I've asked don't... He is an awesome little pony, and once he's under saddle and moving there's nothing wrong in...

I just bought an 11hh pony, and am hoping to train him to drive and compete in driving. Unfortunately, I don't have a pony cart. So I was wondering what is the size difference between a pony cart and a mini cart? We have an amish-made wooden mini cart that is used for my 32" mini, and it...

Hey all, Charizmatik is on Equusite today and would love to have your votes Thanks!

Not a mini, I'm afraid. This guy is a 2 year old Welsh "A" colt standing about 11.2hh. Moves awesome I love him, although I'll admit it's bittersweet: we traded him for our 2005 mini colt who I adore, but he's gone to be a surprise Christmas present for a pre-teen girl who adores minis. I'm...
