Hi, I know this topic has been covered from many angles, and I started by searching around on the forum, but didnt find what I was looking for. See, Im a university student and Ive found a home for myself that included free horse board for my one mini! However, the pasture he gets has no...

Does anyone know if the western championships will be streamed online like it was last year?? Is there a link around somewhere in internet space :p

Be warned, I have to share a story prior to my question. My arena is about a mile up the road and for 5-6 years I have been driving from my house to it when I want to do driving work. It is a busy road, espeically in the summer, but I have ever only had minor incidence in the past. However...

I cant find an exact statement anywhere on the AMHA website or in the rule book as to what the necessary qualifications are for a horse to be eligible to compete at the regional championships. Help??

Since its a requirement in the breed rings to drive with a check, I attached one to my beginner driver so he could get use to it(we have an upcoming show in 2 weeks.) I found it was much too short, to the point that it raised the back part of his saddle up, so I want to add some lengt; but am...

To save you all a long story, I have had to start using a new arena a few weeks ago and I bush morrowered it and got a friend to rake it, so its mostly even, except for some of the large weeds and grass still left. These left overs are causing some uneveness and I would like to get rid of them...

Ok, I want to get a nice browband for my black gelding, but I'm very indesisive and can't make up my mine. I quite like the look of a patent silver browband, but can't see what it would look like in my minds eye. And I was also thinking of getting a matching cavason if I was to get the patent...

Hey everyone, I want to buy a fancy browband for my black geldings harness to jazz it up a bit, but can't think in my minds eye what would be best. His harness is silver, so would have to be that or colored. I was wondering if anyone would have pictures of theirs blacks and browbands so I can...

Well, it snowed one day, then it poured the next day, then today it freezes, so my 2 minis pathways are little skating rinks. I can see they are stepping lightly but the fear of one of them falling and slipping (and possibly breaking a leg ) is keeping me awake this evening They survived...

This is an article a good friend of mine sent along to me, and thought I would share it here. It involves a sweet little dwarf named Gracie and her days at the pool. http://www.abbotsfordtoday.ca/?p=16209

I bought a pair of leather gloves this spring and have been using them this season for showing, but they are feeling a little dirty and they leave these blackie-blue marks on me. Im wondering what is the cause of the marks, is it a sign of improper care? What sort of care I should I be doing...

I recieved this email a while ago and have beening thinking about it alot lately, and thought some of you may find it an interesting and insightful read. It finally sums up all that needs to be said, in my opinion (but on that note, I will also say I am NOT aracist) MODS, if you find this in...

Ok, I promise you, I did serch the forum, but can't find what i'm looking for! I have heard anywhere from 1 tablespoon a day up to 1/4 cup a day??? So how much flax should I be feeding??? Right now Im using the 1 tablespoon to be safe till I find out.

I have always used a royal blue jacket for both my geldings. The jacket looks fantasic with my grey gelding, but I wan't to find something in a different color and with a bit more pizaz for my black gelding. I was thinking either a white with some black, emerald green, red, yellow, or light...

Im sorry, but I just have to post as Im balling and feel like dying. One of my 3 guinea pigs just passed away in my arms, not but 20 minute ago, and all I think of is how its all my fault. I sat and held as she convulsed, and could do nothing for her but cuddle and tell her she was a good little...

Now that I've pull you in with my vage title, I'll get to the point, I make a mistake and need opinions on what to do about it now. To start, im soon to have a 2nd driving horse, and I just WONT be able to afford 2 carts, I would love to have 2 nice driving sulky carts, but I have to make do...

I've read quite a few threads where the horse is chopping on the bit, and people recommend getting the teeth done. What confuses me is that IF the horse has no wolf teeth where the bit sits, how could the teeth be effecting the horse???

I want a good 10 traffic cones for driving, but all I can find are the hard plastic ones. I plan to ask my driving(car) school when im in next week where they got their rubber ones but I'm wondering if anyone on here has any suggestions as to where I might find some??

As I was preparing my beet pulp in the kitchen my brother asked me why I rinse off the beet pulp??? I respond that the horse likes it better warm. He throws me a tough one in asking that, since the water I rinse off is brown, aren't I washing away some of the nutrient??? I don't use beet pulp...

My gelding is being clipped tomorrow and my mom usually does the clipping. This time, I'm doing it and I want to know how to solve this problem. When my mom clips around the eyes (hes just a showmanship man, so no balding for him; and I also don't like the look of balding on greys, IMO) she...
