  2. Senior Horse Care
    Hey all, Quick question: I just got a new lease buddy- he's older and has lost his front set of teeth. The back ones are still in so he can munch on hay and whatnot, but I was wondering if there are any soft treats specifically for older horses with dental issues (or lack thereof, I suppose...

    Hi all, I am wanting to find some large hay pellets, preferably a mix of Timothy and alfalfa. I use them as treats and the regular sized pellets are just too small and messy. Does anyone have any suggestions? Much appreciated.

    Hi, I’m looking for horse treat recipes I can make at home with the ingredients I have in the pantry. I have: • Flour • Oats • Molasses • Honey And in my head it seems like these would combine to make a dough of some sort. I just can’t find a recipe with measurements and bake...

    So because of the Coronavirus, I'm home all the time & I have plenty of time on my hands. I was thinking of making a horse treat business! So I have some questions for the equestrian public. 1.) Do you care if their cute or not? This is very important because it determines the recipe I use...
  6. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    So I've done a lot of reading and consulted my riding instructor, and some horsey friends, and I've gotten mixed messages from all. What I would like to know is what people think about using snacks in trick training horses? Some people say it can start or encourage "bad habits" such a nipping...

    I am working on formulating my own paste for horses. I was wondering if anyone new where to buy these from a manufacturer? I am looking for the tubes that are like the tubes you use to worm your horse.
  8. Horse Talk
    Hi everyone! I've recently started leasing a new horse. Who apparently snubs his nose up at apples AND carrots?! Haha, I find this funny, but odd, I've never had a horse who didn't like both, or at least one of the two. Anyone came across a posh horsey who is far above the norm snacks?! Or any...

  11. Training, Performance Problems advice & queries
    Hi I'm new here, so I'm sorry if I'm doing something wrong. I just started 2 days ago training natural horsemanship and working my way to liberty someday. I have a big icelandic horse and I got him around a month ago. We go pretty well together and he lets me ride him only in a halter with no...

    I found this website page full of horse treat recipes, but due to this person's name has caused controversy on horseforum.com I can't mention this person's name. If you would like the link to the website please message me and I will let you know the website address. I do not own this website or...

    So I recently (almost a year ago) bought a pregnant Morgan mare. When I got her someone told me not to feed her sweet feed(that's what one of our QH eats) that too much of the sugar and something else in it was dangerous for her because of her breed. Since I knew nothing about the breed I...

    I greatly apologize if this has been created already, but I couldn't find anything else on this topic. Anyway, I'm starting lessons again tomorrow and I want to make some home made treats for my future friends. I have two recipes, but they will prove difficult since I don't have oats. Does...

    Sorry if you think this is more of a general Horse Training question, please move if needed. So, today I got to work with a friend's horse. She's a very pushy, dominant mare who has initially been trained with NH and then clicker training. The mare's been away on a lease and apparently during...

    One of the trainers at my barn says she mashes up apples and carrots on occasion for the old mare, but I'd read a number of places that sweets, like apples, should be avoided when a horse has Cushings? (Read other places that some horses tolerate these fine and it's very individual.) I don't...

  19. Horse Talk
    So, I'm posting again with name trouble. I'm a baker, cake pops are my specialty but here recently I've been making my own homemade horse treats. I would like to start selling them locally to see how people respond to them but first I need a name to put on the packaging. My baking...

    My friend constantly gives her pony treats, and it is really fat! If that were my horse, I'd probably never give it treats. I'm not even kidding, if you went to score this pony's body condition, it'd probably be an 10 out of 10 all over!!... And it's already been foundered a couple years ago...
