Do any of you get the Parelli e-news?  Boy, I am amazed at just how
much "stuff" they are cranking out to make money.  It was really a fan
at one point, but I'm really disillusioned with them these days and
wonder if the essence of the horse is getting lost in all this
marketing? They seem to do very little with actual riding--it's all
about ground work and promoting all those expensive dvd's, now they
have "charts", "Parelli puzzles", etc.  Just a little too much "stuff"
for me............................I wonder what our horses would think
if they knew about all this???????

I'm NOT a racing fan, but I have been tracking a horse that I helped
raise, and unfortunately, he's in racing.  Anyway, I see that they give
the horses Lasix, which is a diuretic.  Does anyone know WHY they do
this?  Seems so bizarre to me.

I came across some cute horse sayings that I had written down from
going to various clinics, so I thought I'd share a few.

1.We try to get our horses to go a certain way. How presumptuous to
tell this magnificent animal how to move.

2. Learn to wait for things to happen.  You want your horse as a
willing partner, not a slave.

3. The only thing you can start from the top is a fence post.

4. Work toward having your horse feel so safe he'd let you ride him
up a telephone pole or down a badger hole.

5.  Get to the spirit of your horse.

6.  Horses are totally honest.

7.  When something isn't working, stop your thinking and make a fresh
start.

8.  Wait for a response, but know how long to wait.

9.  When you have a problem, don't focus on it as a big problem.
Ignore it, but keep it in the back of your mind and soon it will
divide into little manageable problems.

10.  Ride the horse that you have TODAY!

Does anyone know the website for cytek, or is it cytec?  I have tried
every combination I can think of and I get a chemical company and once
I found something in the UK but I can't get back to the site that lists
the farriers and talks about the shoes.  Please help.  Thanks.

There is a barn for lease on the property next to where I board my
horse.  The guy said he'd lease it for a "reasonable" price, not sure
exactly how much.  It's a very simple barn with I think about 10 acres
of pasture, that is divided into 2 pastures and a smaller turn out
yard.  Has a small pond.  It has no arena or anything fancy at all.  He
wants to get out of horses and said he'd lease it to someone so they
could "make a few bucks" as he put it, but they would need to keep up
the place, which I think he means keep the pastures cut.  It's located
in Plum Boro, about a mile from the boro building, has a New Kensington
mailing address, so it's closer to New Ken, it's in Allegheny county.
If you are interested let me know and I'll provide his phone number.
There are a few trails in the area for trail riding. Can't remember now
exactly how many stalls there are, I think about 6 or 7.

Does anyone know how to contact the cytek shoe farriers?  I think they
had a booth at the HE 2 years ago and I can't find their website that
lists their farriers.

Has anyone ever had a horse who couldn't lift a foot to be trimmed?
What did you do?

I'm in need of a farrier, if anyone knows someone who doesn't have a
bad attitude and would be willing to work with a horse with special
needs.  I'm located in Plum Boro, near the New Kensington line.

Thanks in advance.

I am BEGGING, if anyone has any specific information on the foal

information to Jim Parsons at Channel 4.  His email is
jparsons@...,   phone 412-244-4635.  I am going to fax him the
flyer I got from Bryce, which is from the Ohio rescue farm.  Jim is
willing to do a story but needs proof. He just emailed me today and
asked again for information.

Just thought I'd remind everyone about the trail ride
at Hidden Meadows this Saturday, June 7th.

I just checked the weather report for the weekend
and Saturday it's supposed to be sunny, clear and 88 !!!
What a perfect day for trail riding at Cathy's place on those wonderful
trails
in the cool woods !!! A great day to start your trail riding season with
alot
of nice people :-)

Come on out............let's ride people !!! :-))

Darlene
(who's sooooooooo glad the warm weather is here :-))   )

I'm not sure of all the rules with this group. Is it permitted to post
a request to trade one horse for another?

Priscilla

Please.....Don't give up! I found and am attempting to
buy a 'Nurse Baby'. This seems to be another ploy to
'rescue' horses....

Thanks, Jill

Does anyone know of any farriers who go to Washington County?  My
friend needs a good farrier and is having trouble getting someone down
there that knows what they are doing.  She's had some nightmare
experiences with 2 farriers already.  Thanks in advance.

The lack of any response or interest in the postings I did about the
foals being sold and killed for coats has been totally underwhelming.

For everyone's information, here are two articles I found about how animals in rodeos are treated.

This one is from PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals).

http://www.peta.org/factsheet/files/FactsheetDisplay.asp?ID=69

 

This one is from In Defense of Animals USA

http://www.idausa.org/facts/rodeos.html

 

This one mentions how Pittsburgh is among cities that has banned rodeo.

Subject: [pnha] Rodeo question

I was channel surfing and saw some bull riders. Also noticed this with
bronc riders before. This will sound like a totally stupid question,
but I noticed the animals have a rope tied around their testicle area.
Is this to cause them pain, which in turn causes them to buck????

I am just getting more info on the post I did earlier on the foals
being sold for skins for coats.   There is some evidence that OSU knows
about this, which is quite disturbing.  The man whose name they give
people meets people at a truck stop with the nurse mare on a trailer
and a transfer is done.  He tells people it's for "their convenience"
He charges $1500 up front to "rent" a mare and $500 more if you want to
keep the mare.  If there isn't an immediate need for a mare, the foal
is allowed to stay with her to keep the milk coming, but when there is
a need, the foal gets taken away and sold.  There is information that
16 foals recently went thru an auction in New Holland.  IF ANYONE OUT
THERE KNOWS ANY HUMANE AGENTS, CAN YOU PLEASE CONTACT THEM TO SEE WHAT
CAN BE DONE ABOUT THIS????

I would assume it would be easy to get the man's name if you call OSU
and say you need a nurse mare.  I may do that just to see what they
say, and find out who this man is.

Okay, here is a little more info.  This man, whoever he is, has nurse
mares for rent.  When questioned as to what happened to the nurse
mares' foals, he tells people they "went to good homes", when in fact,
he is involved in selling them or directly involved in the killing of
them, not sure at this point.  When someone calls OSU to ask for a
referral for a nurse mare, they are given this man's name, so I would
pray OSU doesn't know what is going on.  My friend is going to get some
names and details and go from there to try to get this stopped.
