Be careful with him on the longe line. Those ankle problems may only get aggravated if he has to spin around a 20 meter circle. People don't realize how much...
Hey guys,hows everyone doin these days? I no longer have internet at home and only get online when I go in town to the library, Hope everyone had a nice...
And I'm exhausted! We moved today from Ringoes to Pittstown. Everything went smoothly, except somewhere along the way I lost my set of Eskadron boots ...
Thanks for the advice. I'll keep it slow and only work him a short time. His back end seems so thin. You can see his back bone and hips, but his front end...
Hay is for the lower body, grain is for the top line. If you want them to gain weight on the top, feed them high fat feeds. I use feeds that are beet pulp...
Hi, When we rescued Lamartinique aka Duke he was soo thin, his backbone stuck out and his ribs, and hips, I cried when I saw him. We fed him a coffe can of...

From a moment of pea-brain-ness on Mollies part and my inattention, Mollie received a deep, cut horizontal cut along her barrel. The vet stitched it up and...
Poor Molliemoo-girl!! I hope she is ok, and that you are ok! I would (and did) *slightly* freak out if it were my girl....when Chase cut herself across her ...
If you are cost-conscious, but want to feed them the best quality food, my advice is a 10% fat, 10% protein feed (many brands come to mind, I use the...
Bonny, sounds like a great move. I love taking care of my own horses, not seeing them for just one days gets me into withdrawals, LOL. It can be very hard work...
Sally, I had 2 horses this year that decided to jump the fence and both got caught on wire. on lacerated the back front pastern all the way to the tendon...
I know someone else will jump in and respond the same way--but you definitely need to feed him more hay! At least 3 flakes a.m. and 3 flakes p.m. and more if...
I'm feeding him a section of timothy hay and a few cups of sweet feed and oats in the morning and at night. Section? Hay is often talked about as in flakes and...
Well, the ponies are learning about snow today. I actually live a little ways out from Seattle, and we got about 6-7 inches, Not a lot compared to where some...

LOL- i was ticked off that i couldnt take my xmas photos in it yesterday! what a missed opportunity. we got like 4-5 inches- i'm sure my horses decided it was...
On another note, I wouldn't start working him. If he is so thin, back or wherever and is only getting that amount of hay/food then he shouldn't worked. period....
So if the feed is based in beet pulp, do you need to soak it? Or is it just the unpelleted, unprocessed beep pulp that you need to soak so it doesn't expand...
