Pretty Horses!

Thats perfect! Thanks so much. I'll definitely share the link with the rescue :)

Ahhhhh technology sucks wonders! Don't worry I hate using my phone for internet and stick to my tablet away from home and usually have both hands and face glued to laptop when I am home...

She looks great! It is nice to see you guys out after everything that has happened :) I think the swelling is probably normal, I sprained the same ankle 2 twice in the last 4 months and when it...

I'm not going to comment on the mare or the stallions as I know nothing about that breed at all. What I will say as someone who's family bred horses, worked on a yard that bred horses and have bred...

I have watched this thread and now I am going to chime in mostly because I think often times the badness of breeding is over looked. The risk of twins while rare, is devastating. We can prevent this...

If you *insist* on locking him in his stall where he's going to crib, I agree that you just need to let him be. He's cribbing because he's stressed, or uncomfortable, or otherwise unhappy - otherwise...

I don't think you really understand how much breeding costs. The actual stud fee is peanuts compared to pregnancy vet visits, ultrasounds, breeding soundness exams, prenatal shots, testing for...

How is it not fair to him to be outside? Horses are livestock. No matter what you do you will never change that. Livestock stay outside. Yes we should supply them with a shelter that they are free to...

You have systematically ruled out every suggestion made to you as impossible for one reason or the other. At this point, it seems your only REAL concern is the stall being destroyed. So, my last...

if he does not crib when out, leave him out. He does not like being stalled. It is unnatural to stall them. They get very bad habits. If you insist on stalling him, good luck. get him a jolly ball...

I fixed it. Checked the wrong horse. :oops:

well, some horses really just can't be locked up or stalled for any period of time. I have a horse like that. I recently leased him out to a trainer with the stipulation is that he has 24 hour out...

I thought you said he comes when you call him? Anyways. About the last post: 1) That's pretty common among boarding pastures. ALL of the horses want to come in. You just shoo them away. (I...

It's addicting, next thing you know you'll be riding cutters and cow horses down the fence....watch out..tee he :)

Well obviously you don't because you can't see it from there:lol::lol: It is me smiling a HUGE smile because today I got to ride a reining horse. Get this, the coward who hasn't loped...

Oh how I wish I had sparse pasture! I have a lawn that my gelding occasionally gets 30 minutes of hand grazing on when we don't feel like mowing :D If you look at my avatar pic, that nice sandy...
