Robin, There are several people on this list who have worked with abused/rescue horses. One of the reasons we responded so fast and harsh to your earlier post...
I suppose it depends on your trailer but ours has wood slat floors and rubber mats. Its rare that the horses will pee in the trailer on a short ride..though 3...
... I do it a little differently depending on the horse. Most of mine are tied and left to deal with it. I use an inner tube so theres some give. And i ignore...
Hi guys, I need help figuring what size of girth to order for Bess. She's a 32 western. She's not a wide horse at all, 15 hands, standardbred. Any idea what...
... That is so true Cheryl. I think of Hawk last year at the fair. He is scared to death of their covered arena. That on top of the all the people, noises...
Hi Jennifer, I don't think you can say "If a horse wears a 32" western cinch, she needs a __" English girth. Western rigging allows for a multitude of sizes to...

Hello All, I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to continue my horse's training further. I have a three yr old pinto mare that is very light to...
If you teach her to give her head to pressure on the ground (if you dont know how to do this please ask) then undersaddle she will respond the same to being...
You know yesterday I finally got this into Andy's head! Whiskey is a great horse, so willing and smart! I watched Andy fight with him over and over and got...
Now what do you mean by giving to her head pressure? Tera Cheryl Carroll <summerwinds@...> wrote: If you teach her to give her head to pressure on the...
Giving her head to pressure means to turn her head in the direction of pressure on her head. We do this with ours when the are very young foals and all of...
Cheryl, I love the idea of putting your arm over their back and putting pressure that way. That is exactly the excercise I was looking for to get her used to...
It really works beautifully we love it. But i cant take credit for it, its a Clinton Anderson technique. I love most of what he does but have to tone it down a...
How hard should you work a three year old? She is pretty short, barely over 14 hands and we live right next to a lake so my husband and I are wanting to do...
Is she a young three or closer to four? I dont like to canter 3 year olds but they can do several hours of walking with a little trotting mixed in. You just...
Tera, Cheryl's advice is very good. Also, be very aware of your weight shifting when you ask for a turn while riding. When horses are learning that don't...
Dear Robin, I'm glad you're with us. I enjoyed reading about your horses. I can tell that you are very devoted to them. Welcome to the group. I hope you...

Last week I sent out a list of horses for sale. FOUR have sold and are marked on the list. Five great horses left that need good homes. CHANGES: I am...
These trailers have thick mats over the flooring (not sure what it is, probably wood slats). The trailers are sitting at their barn, just a hop, skip away so...
OK guys, I need some input here on a particular horse of mine. I'll give ya
ll a bit of background so you know the kind of horse/attitude I'm dealing
with...
On the other hand I have twice had horses slip in the trailer on rubber mats without shavings when some idiot driver cut us off. Try turning a sitting...
I have had people tell me that one reason to use the shavings in the trailer is that horses get aggrivated when they pee and the urine splashes up on their ...
hello, i was wondering if there is anyone with experiance in paso finos. i have a half paso half quarter horse and wondering if there is way to teach him the...
You can't teach a horse to gait. You can teach it to set up under saddle, how to carry the weight of a rider while gaiting correctly, but the horse either has...
Just thought I would add my experiences. Everyone I haul with uses shavings in their trailers, for several reasons. First, wet mats are slippery. Deep shavings...
