Hi, I have a silver bay gelding whose mane is getting darker as he ages leaving him looking a little unbalanced with his very light tail. Is there a way to lighten it without using any chemicals. I've considered trying lemon juice in the sun but have heard various things from "it works wonders...

I have a very itchy gelding who has come up with scabs all over and called the vet clinic. When I asked about lice she told me about a topical treatment called Silence that was supposed to work like Advantage does for fleas. 1cc per 100lbs along the back. I did an online search and can't find...

I have to find homes for my minis right away. In the spring I developed a rash that has gotten steadily worse which turns out to be an allergy. I never thought about the horses because this never happened in the past. Things got so bad that in this last month my eyes were very swollen and...

The reason I didn't want to breed my mare is that she has a short neck - a REALLY short neck. It's all of one inch longer than her head, otherwise she's a very nicely put together girl. Because I'm a curious type person this got me to wondering - How hard is it to put a neck on? I know from...

I have always heard that after gelding you were supposed to keep the horse separated from the mares for three to four weeks. My vet told me one week. He said that the three weeks was the entire healing time. So then what about all the stories about mares being bred and catching two and three...

I've had horses that kicked, bit, reared and I've never had a problem stopping them from being obnoxious pains in the butt.... until Chinook. I have no problem kicking a horse when it's tried to kick me, done it on more than a few occasions and had it cure the problem. I even had a...

The vet came out to geld Chinook yesterday and have a look at Shadow and I'm afraid to see the bill I'm gonna get. He started out with gelding Chinook whom I also call my Gingerbread man 'cause he's so spicy . My son, who has an excellent sense of humour, quoted a line from Shrek and cried...

I'm getting a little nervous here. I've only personally myself had one horse gelded before, a 5 year old welsh. He was gentle from day one so I have no real reference to go on. I've always been told by the big horse people that there is often a huge difference in attitude afterward, however...

She called my mare a chestnut, however she has lacing, roaning and a single small spot on her shoulder. She also has "brush strokes" on either side of her tail head, however the photo didn't show it clearly. roaning around her strip (no chin spot though) lacing down her back small...

Can anyone tell me what registry is the MHRE? I saw it on a fair entry form and can't find any info on it.

I was afraid with a mare on the property I might see more aggression in Chinook againand sure enough it's happening. Over the long weekend we had a ton of company. I couldn't stress enough to the kids that they could play with the other horses, but to stay far away from Chinook. He's fine...

I had a plan. I hadn't expected to buy a horse but Chinook needed me and I wasn’t overly busy for the summer so the plan was to get him healthy, get him trained and sell him to someone who’d love him forever. It was so simple. Yah right! Healing took a long time and with winter coming I...

I was looking at some photos taken about a week after I brought my little guy home. I can hardly believe this is the same horse. and the new Chinook.

Hello, I'm not new to horses however I am new to minis and since it's been quite a few years since I've done anything horsey at all I thought I better find some knowlegable folks so here I am. I had a 3 year old mini stallion delivered to me for temporary boarding when his owners had to...
