I'm definitely interested in checking out the rest of your (new) photos!! Thanks for the heads-up! (& no, it doesn't alert me automatically)... :0)

Thank you very much :) I call that one "STOP TOUCHING MEEEEE!!!" hehe.

I just wanted to tell you that the picture you submitted of your horse yawning was awesome! It looks like he was just told a joke and he is laughing really hard

You have some lovely horses and some terrific shots of them. Welcome to the Forum

Totally agree on the "Drama" issue. I do not come to the barn to have to worry about whether I am being talked about, I come to spend time with my horse. It is not high school. Dont hog the space......

Haha - come on guys! Let us know what you think ALL people who board their horses should know! It could be a one-liner :) It doesn't matter what format you choose! Chapter 2: Tack Room If...

You are FINE, OP :) Go out and have a blast riding. In that you are worried is an okay thing, but really, you don't need to. Be mindful of your weight and learn how to accommodate yourself. But...

I've adopted and never felt hovered over. Not once. Craigslist. I've learned there are A LOT of horses listed that desperately need an 'Upgrade'. I've seen many horses listed on CL that didn't...

if horse is yours, whats with the 6 month visit ? To the people reading this involved with rescues. You have some serious problems in the way things are going and this seems to be an industry wide...

Exactly my point with the hypocrisy from rescuses. If you are not going to enforce it why is it int he contract ? If you're not anal (your words) why have anal verbiage in the contracts ? When you...

I almost adopted a horse until they told me he would never be mine really. Their horses always remain property of the rescue, subject to inspection and scrutiny at any time. I've got a problem with...

I was going to adopt a horse once. There was a one year lease and after that the horse was given to you under the condition it was never raced again. It was fair and all, but the horse didn't work...

I would never take a horse that came with any strings attached whatsoever. I think boots summed it up pretty well. COntrol freaks and busy bodies. No thanks. Whats even better is the lies and...

I actually bought an Aussie puppy rather than adopting an older dog because the rules were SO damn strict. Then later I was looking into adopting a small, older dog as a companion for my Aussie......

1. A Pony is NOT a Baby Horse 2. There is a distinct difference between being Bucked-off and FALLING-off 3. Trotting is NOT the same thing as Galloping. 4. The horses in the field are NOT...

I personally don't think horses have to pay their way through work either. Riding is great but there are many ways to enjoy a horse. Petting and brushing and simply caring for them. I see...

Oh no, not another horse with nothing to do all day but, um, be a horse.....what is this world coming to? Maybe the owner "freaks out" because they are tired of having everyone else trying to force...

Part of me says, if the horse is happy & healthy, who cares? It could be off in someone's back yard starving to death.... But the other part of me sees the super duper cute gelding that's boarded at...

Because you don't agree with the way this particular owner deals with its horse doesn't mean it's wrong. The owner obviously cares, even if not in the same way you would. If the horse is happy,...
