if she is next door put hog pens right on your fence line. let her see real country for a bit. i had a similiar issue. i had an ex family friend come by and tell me how to raise hogs and their pen was dirty and they were mistreated. the hogs are all huge and gettin ready to be butchered. in the...

bread works great for giving wormer. i make 2 wormer sandwiches for my horses and the wormers goes done without a hitch .works well and no wormer problems.

i am working on it but i am not sure exactly how. when i had her in the back by herself she was fine. now she is with her buddy she is buddy sour. i moved her to the back and plan to get rid of the other mare.

at my house i have 20 acres. i like to ride my primary horse around the place however the more i keep her in a paddock with another mare the more buddy sour she is. when i kept her in the back she was fine. i know horses are herd animals but what a difference when she is housed with the other...

really only want 1 horse. the horse is a 10 yr old mare who i just dont ride and dont have time to time with her to keep her straight. i would rather not feed another horse since i have one to ride i really like. i dont ride enough to have 2 horses. i figure its better to get a free-bee or close...

i really dont want 2 horses. what is the most low maintence pasture buddy i can get for my horse. another horse seems like more than a need and is tough on grass. i was thinking maybe an old pony or something. maybe a goat?

i agree with you re the local trainers. i only buy older horses 10 yrs who at least know the basics. then i will put them through some basic ground work exercises. i dont think sending a horse to a trainer unless the horse has specfic issues is going to help me work with the horse. my horses...

i often wonder about trainers in general. i have watch some of anderson videos and the stuff works but sure takes lots of time. i had a briddle problem with a horse. i did use cross ties for about a week. then i went back and she was much better. honestly the problem was so frustrating that...

i am wondering when to breed a mare. from the price of horses its nor worth it but if you have a good cow horse and breed her to another good cow horse does it make for a better foal? i thought would be maybe. i lucked upon a real good mare and was wondering if being a good cow horse can be...

with my dogs working well i only need one horse to push them. i have 2 and really dont want any more feed bills or grass used by horses than needed. make sense to me that they would bond with other animals. the problems i have is that if my horse sees one of her buddies from affar she is...

ivermectin is in the paste wormer for horses. can i take the injectable version and put it in their feed instead of paste wormers? i know this is done for other animals. what other type of wormer do i need to rotate? i have used the paste up until this point. thanks.

i know horses are herd animals and enjoy a mate. however are they better for our use if alone? my horses are for cows and that is their job. i could get by with one. would i be better off with one horse to get more out of her. thanks.

for what its worth i have a small quarter horse that acted great for a while. he got a cut on his leg and needed some time to heal. after 3 weeks of doing nothing with him i saddle him up and tried to put a bit in. he gave me crap. i tried being gentle. finally he go a small a-s woping and after...

i am new to horse but have been going at it almost everyday. today i rode her with a new bit since the last one cause her alot of head throwing. no better. she tossed her head and decided to get going and buck me off. i stayed on and rode her more. of course in the round pen. i am sure her teeth...

she was out in a rough condition from what i gathered from the last owner. it was a down and out cowboy story. yesterday we had a real break through. less ears pinned and once i rode her for about 10 minutes in the round pen she settle down pretty good. she is very good with leg cues...

i go back and forth with this mare. i can sent her back so i dont want to wait to long. she is spooky in the pasture and in the stall. once i get her in the round pen and saddle her up and put the bit in she is calm and takes a bit easier than any i have. once i get on she does not walk but...

How long do you typicaly expect for a horse to settle in once you bring her home? I know its different among horses however I have read different rules of thumb on this issue. A new mare brought into a group of 2 other horses. How long should you expect it will take for her to settle in? I have...

I normally would not post a reply but I dislike when these threads become bashing or just negative. I assume everyone here is trying to learning something and have geniune question. There is really no reason to get into someone or make general statements about groups in general. There is enough...

i agree with you regarding horse and their value to a small farm. mine are (planned) used on cattle. 1 for cattle and one for the kids who want to learn to work cattle. i really dont want them eatting down a pasture that is really for rotating cows so your right. They are needed to push cattle...

i have a padock up from with goats. i am going to use it when my newest mare gets accepted by the herd. right now they chase her around and she is spooked. I agree stalls seem like a pain overall. Just curious what folks on the board are doing. Thanks.
