Computer didn't refresh. Asked and answered... Sorry

Why don't you put an ICE number in your phone? That is what runners and cyclists do. Easy to identify and emergency personal know about it. ICE = In Case of Emergency My phone normally locks and you need a password to get in it but I remove it when I run or cycle so anyone has access to the...

I agree judges should be training judges. There are enough breeders that are judges out there to accomplish that. Why do you think trainers should have a say in the direction we are going? As far as "stay at home if you don't like the judge" sure that would work in a perfect world. I tell a...

I disagree that amateurs should be able to be judges but I do have an issue with trainers on LOC for 2 reasons. First, breeders should be the ones that are dictating where the breed is going.

I have never seen a controlled study that backs this up. 70% of a horses immune system is located on the GI tract and therefore good microflora balance helps with overall digestion. Not just fiber. A far more common assumption why horses (and dogs and cats) eat their own feces is due to a...

Actually, weanling mares need 2 points or must have made a reasonable effort to qualify (placing 1st under 3 judges without enough horses to accumulate points). Also, you must have the qualifying points for the class. So you would need a point to show in youth. Just because she is a weanling she...
