  1. Horse Health
    So, I went out this afternoon to swap out my geldings blanket and when I reached under to grab the belly strap, I noticed his sheath was extremely swollen on both sides. Is this a normal occurrence in winter with less exercise or is there something more to this? I am going to go back out after...
  2. Horse Breeds, Registrations and Brands
    Hello, I just bought a TBxPaso Fino and wanted to know if anyone else has one? If you can tell me a bit about the breed and how their temperament and confirmation are? Maybe share a picture? The little filly I bought is 1.5yrs old. We bought her from the auction as the owner didn't have any...
  3. Horse Tack, blankets and Equipment Queries
    I’ve been working with my horse on saddling and i’ve noticed that if i use a padded blanket with my horses saddle it slipped horribly. Like it slips back and to the side. I’ve been using just a saddle blanket, a double weave to exact. Now i don’t ride him he is still in training but i do saddle...

    Hello everyone! I recently bought a 14.1hh pally paint (unsure of breeding, so just guessing she’s a paint/ quarter idk) She arrived today and settled in really quickly, I love her so much. Anyway I had some questions, she seems to have a really human eye, her eyes were like that when I test...
  5. Horse Colors and Genetics
    So this is my almost 6 month old filly Bambi, and her two parents. Dad was a black/white paint, and Mom has changed colors! The first photo of her was when she was 3, the second photo of her is as she looks now at 12 yrs old: completely gray! I am praying she will be a Smokey gray paint, but I’m...
  6. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    Hello there:). I have a paint mare who is an amazing horse on the ground and amazing at showmanship. But once I get on her back she just wants to trot! I know she’s not in pain because when trail riding in the same saddle, bit, everything she walks perfectly fine. I’ve only had her for about 7...

    Hi, I am looking for a registered paint mare. She is a full sister to my horse. I believe she is 13 or 14 and her registered name is Shezasugarplum. She is a palomino paint, with one blue eye that I believe is her right eye. I believe she was born in North Carolina, but could be anywhere now. I...

    I'm not sure how many of you remember since it's been several months, but my grandma took in an auction rescue horse around October. For those of you who are new or need a refresher, here's a quick summery. A mare who was nearly skin and bones with last years winter coat still clinging to her...

    Things went differently than expected today. My grandma has been somewhat on the hunt for a new horse to put in with her pony to keep him company. We weren't able to find anything decent for a while, but recently, I saw a lady I know post on FB that she was giving away her mare for free to an...
  12. Horse Feeds, Feeding and Nutrition
    I'm trying to figure out how to best handle my gelding. He is an APHA 12-year-old. In the last few months, he has added on fat pockets. A bit of a crest, some pockets on his tailhead and a bit behind his shoulders. He is in a fairly active workload (ridden by me or my husband for 30-45 minutes...
  13. Horse Tack, blankets and Equipment Queries
    The horse I’m riding has a short back. I ride him for lessons in my saddle a wide, 17” dressage saddle that fits him well and by blanket marks shows it is about as long as any saddle he should be under. His owner rides him less than once a month. He rides an older western saddle that is too...
  14. Member Journals
    Hi! I've been trying to start posts after our rides but I decided I would bite the bullet and start a journal! For those of you who are new to us, Stitch (afore mentioned chubby Paint endurance mare) and I are competing in our first year of endurance/competitive trail rides. We mostly...

    I'm new to Paints and ride a Breeding Stock Registry gelding (registered APHA solid.) Does anyone participate in the PAC program? I'm interested since I mostly show open shows and open dressage shows and won't be doing the Paint show level yet. Do people enjoy participating? Do you do the show...

    I am a student in the Equestrian program at my college, and we have what's called a winter drill coming up. I ride a big paint horse named Bandit, and I am in need of costume ideas, as we are all supposed to dress up our horses (and ourselves) according to the theme. Our theme this year is...
  17. Horse Tack, blankets and Equipment Queries
    Hi everyone, I was wondering what would happen if I bought biothane tack and tried to paint something on it? I'm worried it might be like trying to paint on plastic, since it's waterproof. I have an online horse store where I paint cool decorations on leather headstalls, bronc nosebands, etc...
  18. General Riding queries
    My paint has been on light work/ rest since the beginning of summer due to her loosing weight (issue is resolved) and thrush in all hooves (due to our unusually wet winter, mostly resolved still treating),, anyhow i have started doing short rides with her that are roughly 20-30 minutes at a walk...

    Hi Everyone, Meet my new Friend! He's a 1 year old palomino tobiano Paint Horse gelding named 'Eagles Magic Pablo' a.k.a. 'Pablo'. However that's not how I would like to call him. My parent's-in-law' already have a labrador named Pablo, which was actually the name I suggested for the dog. Ha...
