Foxtrot's - good idea - I looked up farrier colleges and unfortunately the closest one is 4 hours away. Probably too far - will have to check with the people that want them.

If I currently had a horse, that's what I would do. I tried contacting the farrier at the horse rescue I volunteered at - but no luck. I already cleaned out the barn of the miscellaneous shoes...

I need horse shoes...in any condition, shape, size - whatever, doesn't matter. If anyone has some old rusty shoes lying around that they don't know what to do with - I can pay a little to ship them...

Equibrit - the link is quite helpful, thank you. But it tosses back about 1600 for the US, so I figured before I wade through that, I'd see about getting you all to whittle it down for me!

Thanks for all the replies so far... Here's the list I've got going - I've left off a few of the schools since I think that's a given? Any more for the west coast, central states, Florida? Where...

It's a random info request from someone developing some sort of diagnostic for equine veterinary hospitals - I have no details. Figured this was the best place for a comprehensive answer.

I...

Like the title says - I'm looking for the names of the largest, well know/reputable vet/equine clinics in the US. Maybe state by state?

Oh rhymeswithfizz, you're killing me. I moved here FROM Colorado (Boulder area), 4 years ago. And if I could leave this damn place and come back, I would have done it a long time ago. But I can't....

Seeing a doctor is on my list of things to do...I've got interim insurance though, and need to look at the coverage. I have no money for things like co-pays and drugs though. And speaking of...

well the masked definitely helped today, and I'll continue to wear one for the time being. I don't particularly like the feeling of wearing it though, and imagine I'll hate it in the summer. But it...

My old OTTB mare used to rack in the winter cold...and no, she was most certainly NOT meant to be gaited.

On the really cold days, there really wasn't anything to do about it. But since we had...

Well, I must admit - I wasn't a horrifying rider, but I wasn't a peach either. I'm not sure why they commented - I only know I felt bad when they said it and figured it must have been something...

Yes, it does happen.

When I was 16, I rode a horse that had gone 'round the Seoul Olympics. He was on the showjumping team for another country, and got around with 16 faults.

I rode him, at...

Quinn - As much as I would love to do some of the other ones - this one actually sounds feasible - thank you so much for posting it. I'm going to give them a call!

If he happens to have a low palate, the fatter bits will only irritate him - so maybe try a myler snaffle. My old ottb was very sensitive, did well with a nathe but also went well with the myler.

Wow - thank you all for the great ideas and links. It's so much easier to come here and ask than it is to try and wade through elsewhere...

We do "experience gifts" in my house for the holidays, and I'm giving my daughter a horse trip. I'd like to take her on a multi-day ride - either a cattle round up type thing, or just a plain old...
