ok, I have a question. My barn has a dirt floor and has a tendency to flood. The horses are never in water, they are raised up on wood, however, my hallway is and it stinks :arg! . Is there something that I can spread on the hallway floor to help with the odor that is not toxic to my horses...

I kept seeing all of these nice pics of the horses out in the snow and wanted some of my own, but my guys and girls won't come out of the barn So this morning I finally got a few

love eyeball pics also This is Blue Boy

I appreciate your response and advice, every little bit is helpful. I think, i'm going to try following some of the advice that has been given; 1st try training him myself, if that doesn't work, try a trainer, if that does't work, bye bye stallion, hello gelding. But he is going to be off...

no more stallions!!! Anymore boys are getting gelding ASAP Jimmy, my other stallion is GREAT!! Of course he is 17.

The little terror we are all talking about. lol http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/ki...13/100_2008.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/ki...inzeronblue.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/ki...13/blueeyes.jpg http://i235.photobucket.com/albums/ee25/ki...13/100_1987.jpg

The girls are not allowed around him, his stall has 5 foot chicken wire around it just as a reminder and safety precaution, also because he kept reaching over and biting my mare and filly. According to the girls, "Blue is a 'typical' boy, ornery and mean" so they steer clear now and give...

I knew I was in trouble the second I said "when he lets me", but I'm being honest, so yes, I pet him when he lets me, but that is soon going to change. Like the stallion you mentioned, mine was fine then one day the "I hate the world" switch went off and now he's unpredictable. I guess that is...

thank you. That was the point of this question to begin with, "what do I need to do? Or should I geld him?" With the exception of a few responses, I got my answer. Now I have to figure out the best way to do that. I just didn't want to do the wrong thing. And I got some ideas from several of...

I am trying to be fair to my horse which is why I'm asking questions. I am not totally blaming the horse, he has an attitude issue and I am inexperienced. I am not aggressive with the horse, I am not abusive, I pet him when he allows it and I give him his space when he doesn't. I am not...

I can't get pics to post. ughghgh

I am new to the horse world and I'm not sure what I need to be doing. He gets told NO and if need be a tap on the nose. Can you tell me how to go about getting him under control? I find it so strange that he went from being so good to being a total terd. I have made him mind all along so...

I have a 4 year old blue roan stallion with beautiful white/blue eyes. I would love to use him for breeding, I have a filly on the ground and a mare due in June, that was bred to him. My problem is that he is such a big attitudal jerk alot of the time. There are times when you can handle him...

thanks for everyone's advice. I do have salt licks out. And as far as i can tell the heater is working properly, no shocking or anything, I've even changed the floating deicer for a submersible and he still will not drink(retard) he is just afraid of any change. When I'm standing there...

OK, here I go again with the questions. I have 4 mini's and a TWH that is 3 y/o and 16 hands but is a huge chicken. He will not drink out of his water because "OH no, there is this terrible blue floating thing in it!!" He eats snow and he will drink if I stand out there and give him water out of...

I have been reading anything and everything I can get my hands on. The filly is weaned, she just tries every now and then and the mare is having none of that. I am going to have the vet out for all of the horses shots, but I am just dying to know now!! I'm pretty sure she is pregnant, my...

i have a 5 year old mare who I recently purchased. She has an 8 month old filly and I was told that she had been bred back (which I'm not 100% clear on). According to the women I purchased her from she was bred July 8/9 of 2007 which would make her due June 15 give or take. My problem is...

i just got a 18 x 35 metal building, from www.gaport.com they installed it on site and added extra man doors and roll up doors for me and i thought their prices were very good, with 1 6x6 roll up door and 3 man doors, it was around 4600.00. if you go onto their web site and look at the...

I actually bought a child's raincoat yesterday and cut the arms and the hood off of it, but after reading everyone's posts about not blanketing her I didn't put it on her. As I said in my initial post, the building is coming next week and we haven't had a lot of wind. I just wanted to make...

I have a 5 1/2 old mini filly, I live in Ohio and the weather has finally decided to become winter, it has been in the mid to low 40's during the day and getting down to the low to mid 30's at night. I have had a barn on order for FOREVER and it it suppose to be coming next week (of course...
