I was clipping Flicker yesterday and found two horrible holes dripping pus from where he testicles would be. I cleaned him up and out of one hole was a cut "tube end", moist and red in the hole, but dried and enlarged at the end. Possibly the vas deferens? And in the other hole was several...

I am interested in training Flicker to drive, I think. I found an Ozark Mountain Easy Entry cart for a good price..ugly but solid. I can't seem to find a used harness, so I am looking for a new one. I don't know if this is something I am going to stick with or not and while I'm normally...

Where on Earth do I start with the mane thinning? I've never done it before. :DOH!

Flicker is such a butthead with everyone but our son. He treats that kid like gold! Here are our two littlest boys, riding together with Daddy and his gelding.

Hi all! I have a new mare, an 11 yo half-arab half-saddlebred (National Show Horse) mare. She needs to gain about 100 lbs. The last folks had her on 2 scoops of 12% pellets per day, but weren't feeding every single day. I'm still in the beginning stages of learning about nutrition for...

My tack/feed room is nearly a blank slate. My husband is dying to go wild with it.... We have one mini, will probably be getting another. We expect to have three full-size horses too. It's a six stall barn. I need to measure the room, but believe it's 12x12. We put a window in it and have...

I put together a basic horse first aid kit the other night (a month too late) and know I'm missing some useful items....what else would you add? 4 rolls of Vetrap large bottle of Hydrogen Peroxide 4"x4" dressings 5"x9" dressings antibiotic ointment tube Wonder Dust digital thermometer...

I'd love to train Flicker to drive, just for pleasure. (I don't have a competitive bone in my body AND don't have a schedule that would accomodate showing.) I've driven pleasure (around farms and in parades) in the past, but only with horses that were previously trained. I have no clue how to...

I'm sure the lady I bought Flicker from would help me out, but before I pester her, I would like to know if anything can be done to replace missing registration papers. Thanks!

My mother sent my 3 yo son a saddle for Christmas....a saddle that was mine when I was his age. Since I haven't posted but a few times, I'll just note that we got Flicker a few weeks ago. He is our first mini and is an awesome little dude who needs some work on his manners...his last home...

Hi all! We are just getting settled on the small ranch we bought last month, to finally be settled folk who don't move every two years. We have a lot of work to do on the place, but it's a good start, as it was owned by a quarter horse breeder/trainer that moved out of the area. We just...
