    brideling

    Apply steady pressure at the poll with either a halter or your hand. As soon as the horse lowers its head even a small amount, release the pressure. Repeat. When it consistantly will drop its head with the pressure ask for more by keeping the pressure on until it lowers the head more. Repetition...

    Warts on muzzle?

    rough up the warts with a toothbrush ( I used an old one but to each his own) to activate the immune system then rub ivermectin on them. Our mare had an outbreak on her muzzle and vet told us to do this. Cleared up pretty quick. Chris

    Equi-spot

    Well, I've used it on all the horses now for a couple of months and definitely saw a decrease in the number of flies on the horses. Not all were gone but most were. Didn't repeat in two weeks, just reapplied when I noticed more flies. Chris

    Horses for Dog Food?

    I would send my dying horse to be food for other animals but they would have to put it down humanely and not feed it to them while still alive. Chris

    horse slaughter

    You do not have to feel sorry for my horses. They will be on my property until the day they die. Just because I believe that we should allow horse slaughter does not mean that I feel that it should be done inhumanely and we should be fighting to change the way it is done instead of trying to...

    Steele Saddle

    Jeanne, I don't know the actual model and she's not home to ask but I will find out. I know that there was no fitting to the horse so I'm assuming that it was the standard tree. Chris

    Steele Saddle

    The wife just got one so she doesn't have alot of ride time in it yet but she likes it so far. Seems to be well constructed and she likes it because its lighter than her western saddles. Chris

    The New Mustang

    flaboy, his feet need a severe trimming as the toes are too long. His being in the corral is keeping him from wearing them down on his own. But can't get them trimmed until we get him where we can handle him more consistantly. We're working on that! Chris

    The New Mustang

    D.R., I think he's a little bigger that a true Cracker. He's 15.2 and when I think of a Cracker I think smaller but I could be wrong. Chris

    The New Mustang

    3MR, the only information I could find was about the training available at the prison in Helena but will investigate further. McAlester would be much closer. Thanks. Chris

    The New Mustang

    Do you know if the BLM sets it up or can you contact the prison directly? Do they only do BLM horses or do they take in those of private individuals?? Chris

    The New Mustang

    Yeah, we got him from the BLM. Brought him home July 3rd. She just started working him seriously this past week and has gotten where she can work her way up to him and rub from his nose to his star. Still pretty skittish but seems to have a level head and attitude. She's gonna work him and get...
