    Therapy horse vests?

    I would have thought these would be a Google search away... but no! Anyone have a source for a therapy horse vest (especially therapy horse in training)? Or is this something I will have to have made special?

    Head Collars

    I follow Barryhook on YouTube... and thought this was interesting: Thoughts? Currently I use a gullet strap, and generally harness in the stall anyway. But it did get me thinking.

    Time to choose a cart

    Well, it's been about 6 months of successfully ground driving Legend.

    Horse health insurance

    Thoughts on bite

    Looking at horses, I am seeing some variation (and seeing a lot of opinions) on bite. One horse under consideration has what my vet describes as 4mm overbite. How much of a fault is that in a young (2yo) horse? Some prefer a scissor bite, some prefer that much overbite because regardless of...

    New and investigating

    Hi all, stumbled on this forum via Google in the course of doing research on miniature horses. We live in the Colorado mountains on horse property (2+ acres), and currently breed and show Soft Coated Wheaten Terriers for conformation, therapy and companion animals. We both have a soft spot for...
