Oh I see. Well, it sounds like the one vet is fairly conservative, and the other is just a little more pro-active. I have had the experience of caps being stuck in there and just not able to come out, so if it were me, I might try and get it out, and if it did not come out pretty easy, I would...

I use an equine dentist who does nothing but teeth. He usually charges me about $75.00 - $150.00 for work, depending on how much work the horse needs done. However prices can vary around the country. This is just my opinion, but I personally can not make a decision based on what someone tells...

I've had good luck with baby oil. I've also used WD-40 but don't like the smell! Another one I like is the Cowboy Magic detangler, but I can't always get it (I live in the middle of nowhere) so the baby oil is one I always fall back on.

This is so true, what AppyLover2 says, we can't dictate the rest of the guy's life, since none of us are in charge of the universe. I think the best thing is for all these new people to befriend the guy, and stop over frequently to see how he (and the HORSES) are doing. Then if he DOES need...

What a terrific development, and it is just great to see people coming together to help the horses. And the best part is, Vern should have a bunch of new friends now who can stop by, have a cup of coffee and take a look at the horses. This is really a great start. Someone asked about health...

I'd agree with putting him with older horses - mares, for at least a little while. They will read him the riot act. A kind stallion may be good after he starts getting a little older, towards spring. You don't want him to get really beaten up but he needs to learn his place. It's too bad but...

Shadowpaints, sometimes you can get a swingin' deal. Sometimes the horses are not worth $5.00 but you just never know - you have to go look. I got the stallion in my avatar for practically nothing. At 2 1/2 years old he was 34" and double registered - they were terrified he'd go "over". Well...

As far as buying horses - what do we all do when we look around and realize we *need* to cut down? We sell some. Wasn't this guy trying to sell some, and that was how the condition of the herd came to light? I don't see the harm in helping the horses by buying them, selling them is what anyone...

My opinion is that good over horses are worth more - at least they are to me but one reason is I drive, and my under 34" horses seem a little "under-powered" when it comes to hitting the trail, climbing up mountains etc. Maybe it's just the individual horses...... but my very best, most...

I think there is a slight mistake here which maybe I can help to clear up. Ever hear of a "false dichotomy"? That is when people act as though there are only two choices - and if ONE isn't true, then the OTHER ONE has to be true. (Here's an example - if someone says, "I don't like the color...

Has anyone talked to the DA? I was told this was the person the sheriff had to answer to. In my county we had a severe abuse case and it had to go to the DA because the sheriff would do nothing. So I was told that the DA is the person to politely contact and ask about progress. I was also told...

If that were the case then why the secrecy? And wouldn't a new owner have a vet out for a health cert and so on? I admit it's a nice thought though. The best thing is, Fox News was out there and shot some film. No one can say *THAT* was faked. It documents that the horses were there. Even if...

Here it is: It was posted by UNKOWN. ETA: This is in answer to sre-showtime's question about a pastor who has a miniature horse.

I don't know how to get the emails. But is it possible it would be more effective to put fliers up at the local grocerty stores, gas stations, laundromats and so on - *with permission of course* - instead of emailing? The emails may be seen as spam. Putting a picture of a desperately skinny...

I hope it is OK if I point this out, I have just seen a lot of people making this very small error. It is UnionTOWN, not Unionville...... an easy mistake to make, but I would not want to confuse an official with the wrong name. Hi Marty! :saludando: Great to see you too! I should know that...

I agree Marty, you can not negotiate with a person like that. So you don't negotiate. You very calmly and serenely go over their head and you start working with Law Enforcement. And then you just keep at it, very politely and persistently - sort of like when you get a little piece of cellophane...

Here is some news. I wrote to a person in KS (who has some good contacts) and I have been told that an attorney who works for the US Humane Society is working on trying to get the County Attorney to file charges. It is a difficult process, but they are working on it and this person says they...

The news coverage was less than I would have hoped. Nevertheless it is a start. The shot of the owner petting one horse with an extremely emaciated horse right behind him, and then the shot with just the owner and the emaciated horse, are to my mind very darning evidence that he does not have...

Well...... not ALL people are mean. Some are very nice. Yes, it can be hard to express yourself through writing. Practice helps of course, but sometimes you might need to sit down and think hard about the people you are trying to interact with. Maybe it is just not your group of people. There...

I make my own out of cotton rope. Cotton rope can be side-spliced, and does not give such a bad rope burn as nylon. That makes it safer for the horses. Also it does not stretch as bad as nylon does, so your 20' lunge line does not gradually become 30'! I bought a 500' roll of 1/2" cotton rope...
