i used my mare for halter/showmanship, western equitation, reining, barrels, poles, trail, team penning and cutting. plus whatever i did at home or just goofing off in the hills. she did really well in all of them. i bought her as a 3 yr old off of the race track. she's 15 or 16 now and has...

gabz, i will try the sugar thing tomorrow. she was ridden a couple days after i think it was, but it was only my daughter in the round corral, so it was soft dirt. my daughter doesn't weigh too much. but if her foot hurt then, i guess that could still be too much pressure. flaboy, this guy...

no prob alan. don't have a stall for our horses. they are in pasture 365/24/7. will be going out to change water here soon so will take a tape and measure her and try to remember the hoof pick this time to clean her feet a little more. just looking at the hoof, it looks to me like the RF is...

i think i saw some concrete/asphalt about a mile up the road. lol. i picked out her hoof this morning and that RF was a little tender around the frog. i think a stick got her there or a rock and that aided and abetted her prob. will take the tape out tomorrow and see what i can see. she's a...

yeah, i'm wondering if she's not too fat, but the RF hoof is noticeably shorter than the LF and others, so i will see which vet is coming this way next weds and see if i can get an appt. we have vets that come over here from and hour a way once a week and do check ups and small surgeries. it's...

those are called hoof testers? well, learn something new everyday. didn't know that was their name. believe we have a pair. lol. never used them though. now would probably be a good time to learn. lol.

we don't shoe our horses. don't have a hoof tester. don't know what a hoof tester is. i'm getting ready to head down that direction and see if my dad needs help putting the pump in the river so i'll be checking her on my way by. may have to make a vet appointment for next week. hope not...

this happened last night, i haven't seen her today. she was limping then. had a little scratch on left leg, but it looked old. i'm gong to be breeding her soon too. hope everything is okay with yours.

what's OCD? i know i should know, but......... i have another q for ya'll. would trimming a front foot a little too much cause the horse to limp and maybe even go down? i was walking my mare last night with the saddle on and she was limping good. loosened saddle a bit cause she was acting...

have u tried tying her head in the trailer to the trailer? i don't mean sucking her head to the trailer or all the way around, but just enough so that she doesn't have as much room to mess around. my mare used to do the same thing. first time i loaded her in the front of the 4 horse, she...

well, rats! guess that means i don't get your respect. :cry: LOL

that's what i was thinkin, but couldn't form the words to type it.

i only looked at the intro page, but it looks nice. you need to read a couple of your sentences aloud and check your spelling and word usage though. i'm not the best speller, i always catch my mistakes a ways down the road, but to give it a more professional outlook, you ought to re-check...

cross firing can be uncomfortable. have a mare that couldn't do a left lead to save her life, or mine. she would lope/canter whatever in the left lead going to the right. didn't seem to faze her a bit. :roll:

sounds like your having quite the good time. lol. when you're done there you outta take a trip up here and work with my dad's filly. sounds like her and Idiot would get along splendidly. :roll: keep up the good work.

good thought. i'll try and remember that when the time comes. it could be hard since my remember's not so good these days, lol, but i'll try. thanks.

i'm not around the horse much, if at all. she is very well broken and all. i have tried working with her on the pressure thing. if she backs up a step i let go and then work for more steps. hasn't really worked on her, for me at least. this horse has a few other 'bad' habits, but...

i have a sorta related question. what way doe you, any of you, use to get a horse to back up. a friend of mine has a 5 year old mare taht has some draft in her, can't get her to back up or nothing, with a hack on or a bit in. i think right now she is just using a mid port curb, but that's...

you could also try amazon.com, ebay, barnes and noble. or go to a search engine such as google or ask or msn and to a search that way.

the only arab's i've ever been around have been temperamental and not very smart. never owned one and don't plan on it. other ppl seem to like them okay though. we owned a spotted appy mare, oh for about a week i think. i rode her around for a while and had no probs, she was dainty but since...
