My Rocket has a very tender front hoof and after lengthy vet check including Xrays no reason was found. So, does anyone have advise on front boots that really stay on and provide protection of hoof sole?? They are so expensive I don't want to invest unless I know they are good ones!! Thanks!!

I finally found my team pole for my Frontier cart (Thanks Margo)!! and am now on to the process of finding my team harness. I lost my job last year ( I know so did everyone)!! so money is an issue. Hubby and I have single harnesses now that were bought used and are just the light pleasure type...

So, was diagnosed with Scoleosis a few weeks ago (I wondered why the old back hurt so much!!) but Doc says for now I can keep driving but not in my Graber even for short classes!! Must have a cart with a back at all times. Thought about getting a Meadowbrook type cart but My Lil is itty bitty it...

So, been driving Joe for several months now and worked thru the rearing in cart and not standing still. All had been going well until he started just stopping dead in his tracks and won't move for nothing!! We drive perfectly for a while and then with no warning and for no apparent reason he...

So, for the longest time I kept thinking I was putting Joe's bit on wrong and getting the bit under his tongue. This weekend I was sitting in my cart waiting for my husband to get in his cart and Joe was messing with his bit. I got out and sat on the ground and opened his mouth and watched what...

I am getting back a 6 year old gelding this coming weekend that I sold because I did not like his personality. His breeder bought him back but then ended up not being able to pay for him so is sending him back to me. He was gelded as a four year old because he was unmanageable as a stud. He...

I have a 30" mare who I tried for several years to breed with no luck so since she is my best friend I decided OK no more of that we will just show. She is doing great in hand and jumping so I put her in cart!! She loves it!! I am amazed she just took to it and acts like a pro after only a few...

Hi, we are usually on the mini horse forums as we have 4 mini horses and one big horse. We have been offered a chance to get a mini donkey our choice Jack or Jenny. The lady who owns them says they will be lonely without another donkey and the mini horses won't befriend a donkey. Is that true...

Took my beloved Rocket to the vet because he was limping on a front leg. X-rays showed a lovely perfect front leg so vets diagnosis was tender footed. He recommeded boots. We like to show so don't want a boot that shows a lot. I thought I saw on here a thread on a glue on type boot that protects...

I am wanting to buy a show cart near Bellingham Washington and need it hauled down to Oregon. Is there anyone coming to Oregon who could help?? I would help pay gas!!

My Lily is 9 years old this year and has never had a foal. I tried for a couple of years to get her in foal with no luck so decided to teach her to drive and show her. She went in cart like a dream and is an amazing athlete so that was good. The problem is the poor little thing is in full blown...

I have three leather harnesses and one betathane. I don't like the upkeep on the leather and worry about it in rain or mud. I love my beta because it always looks shiny and is easy to clean. I have never had a biothane one. What do you like and why?? I'm thinking of selling all leather ones and...

Did I get the right stuff?? I feed one heaping tablespoon per horse once daily right?? I grounded it up in a coffee grinder and it got real fluffy!! Thanks Gina

I am learning to do my horses trimmings myself (4 minis and one big horse) after a farrier lamed my best guy Buddy this year. It has taken 6 months and several vet's visits to get him back on track. Anyway, back to my question!! I have my Son-In-Law helping me and he is a cowboy farrier. Is it...

I have been dying to show you our my silver dapple mare. My little girl and I always search for Melody pics because she is our favorite girl on here. As you can probably guess we have a soft spot for silver dapples!! Our Lily is going to be 9 next year but acts like a 2 year old most of the...

I recently bought a palomino gelding who is very light almost white in color. He has a faint yellow color with dapples when clipped. I was wondering if there were any good products to make his color more vibrant?? Also, what do you guys use for shiny healthy coats?? I have a silver dapple mare...

I see Double Diamond has a sale on clipper blades thru Dec. I looked thru my blades and see I have lots of 10s and one 50. What sizes do all of you use and where?? I use the 10s on bodies and 50 on heads but I know there are fancier ways to do this. How do you clip your horses??

My new guy is 3 1/2 and was a stud when he got here about 3 weeks ago but I gelded him a week ago. I noticed right away he did not like his feet messed with but just figured I'd geld him and let him settle in and see what was up. Well, he freaks out if you even think about picking up a foot, any...

I am wondering if someone can explain side reins to me?? How do you use them?? How do they work?? Where do you buy them?? How long do you use them on a horse?? Etc. Thanks Gina
