haven't written for awhile, glad to see so many of yall are still here. got 2 donkeys awhile back and am ready to ride one of'em. i'm confused about the saddle for a donkey. their backs are straight not bowed. would my regular saddle, it's small, work? is there a saddle made just for them? do...

hi yall. thanks for all the input...i will definately talk to my farrier about what yall said. and yes, alan, he does have some tb in him. makes a difference?? it is his front foot that trips and i swear it feels like he's just ploddin along. not ever long in the toe. let yall know...mell

hey yall... i've been readin about just a girl's thouroughbred and her gettin used to the feel. one of yall mentioned stumbling. my guy is way taller than me and when we run, from time to time, he will stumble. this is on flat ground, pasture stuff, and i always watch where we're headed...

mornin, yall... yesterday i had hitched my horse to the back porch post to brush and get him ready to saddle. while i was gettin my stuff, about four feet away from him, he started pawin the ground. i turned around and started talkin to him, tryin to figure out the problem, as he had never...

thanks to all of yall for your info. yep, i am new to all this stuff but readin everything possible about it. really love listenin to yall. by the way, yesterday, i had a man over here helpin haul away some junk. my horse was tied up nearby but not too close. he, the horse, got real addled...

howdy, alan...my old guy is fine...would'nt dare ride him if i thought he wasn't up to it. just hearin yall answer questions about this "founder" made me wonder about it. there's alot i don't know and hope to come across it only through the boards. so, does that mean founder is just another...

mornin yall...i've been readin the boards and have gotten so much information from yall, it's great. still some things that confuse me. like founder, if a horse has had it , can you ride him? if not ridable, will he ever be ? when? and how will you know when? same questions for lameness...my...

hey just a girl! boy! do you have a good lookin horse...i think i'm gonna have to paint her-i'm an artist.just wanna say thanks for postin it...big john, good luck with your girl...can't wait to see the new one...mell

Mornin' yall. Thought yall could use a laugh. my old paint, durango, the "angel horse", gave me an unexpected surprise that i could've lived without...went out to feed him his "old man" feed and thought he looked a little odd. couldn't figure out exactly "what" though. well, once he turned...

hey, just wanna say that there are a few participants that i really enjoy readin', and alan, you are one. thanks always for your expertise and advice...very worth hearin'...mell

new at this, but if i were you...i, also would put a price and head to the nearest sales barn...any horse you can't use, physically, emotionally, or for SOME good reason, is a financial problem...believe me, i know...someone come to my rescue!!!hope all goes well for you and yours...from me, my...

really hilarious. clean and cute. gotta pass this one around...mell

really sounds like a blast, campin' like that... i, on the other hand,or hoof(haha) am not an experienced rider. been ridin' since i was a kid(caveman days) but just off and on. durango is only my 2nd horse and you can literately ride him backwards and eat lunch, he wouldn't mind. i get a little...

hey! just wanna say muchos gracias for the info on campin'. love to camp out for sure. i'm from castroville, tx, about 30 or so miles west of san antonio. it's a small town and a great place to live...yeah... only bad thing, EVERYBODY knows everybody and where they were, how long and even what...

many thanks for yall's input, but i really think these indentions relay some sort of info ,like "doggone, i'm ancient" or somethin'...please let me know if you find anything else out, it's really intriguing me...by the way, this is extra hilarious; t.b.???if yall could see my old paint you'd be...
