Eeeep, a driving pony, lot's of fun and I would be happy to help you evaluate what he knows about driving. I have a full plate tomorrow with horse stuff but sure do want to meet Parker.

It's...

On Saturday when I hear a great BIG "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" coming from just south of me I know what the source will be. Congrats, so happy for you! Don't forget a fly mask for the lil man!

The very few people that I will body clip for ask me to do it because they work full time and they are honest to goodness amateur owners who have never thought about taking on the task themselves. I...

We had Saanen dairy goats for a few years. Yes, give your goat a full body clip now and you will probably have to clip it again in 60 days. The caveat is that they can sunburn after you clip them...

Now, now facinated, don't play the role of a victim after making obtuse comments about people, places and methods of which you are not familiar.

Cowgirl up, you'll learn a lot.

I am agashted, simply agasted!!! LOL, what a hoot!!

Oh dear, The Wizzard of Oz no more represents Kansas than "The Waltons" represents my old home state of Virginia. :) The invitation still stands. We have three fabulous hunts at to enjoy on the...

How old is your mare?? An older maiden mare can be harder to get bred. It may take two or three cycles to get her bred, at all.

Is the mare kind and easy to work?? That will make her...

facinated- please don't feel any obligation towards responding but what a kind thing to do given your hectic schedule.

It would be my pleasure to have you join me foxhunting in Kansas anytime. ...

What a good mare!! Is she the darling, smaller black & white mare of yours that I covet??? 60 foxhounds is a lot to take in at once!

Took my yearling to that show this morning- had to do the...

It appears the yearling has recovered from "7 Degrees of Spraying" and is ready to resume being dragged to and fro, though he moves light on the lead w/ his nose at my knee as we walk/trot & canter...

Update- been gone for a week (feasting on seafood in Savannah, GA) so this afternoon after riding my mare I pulled the yearling up and hosed him off.....used all 7 settings on the hose nozzle. He...

A client at the clinic where I work had a mare founder this spring, albeit without quite the degree of rotation your horse exhibits. Anyway, she used a hoof boot that also has a series of...

Thank you brethern foxhunters, thank you. I tip my ice tea (beer after 6:00 p.m.) to you for understanding the "LOL" humor in my "101 Good ways to mess up my baby horse for no good reason" post. :)...

Oh I get it now....I don't train your way.

I beg your pardon? Handling & exposing a yearling to basic horse care routines is "messing around with a baby horse for no good reason?". Thats a new one.

This "problem" showed two things- I...

LOL Rt66, I hadn't thought of it that way!

Just came in from hosing him down. Took him to the same spot- figured the test would be if he associated "that place" with "that water". He was no more...

Otherwise known as "The Yearling" this evening. He's been a little eyebally about being hosed off so at one point each day I bring him in to hose him off. He's been doing terrific.

Well, I...

I was told last fall by a well respected national level pro, who was told an even more well respected banker, that we were entering an 18 month correction. The banker said scale back now, dump all...

I thought of this post yesterday when new scales for small animals arrived at the clinic. Of course once the Doc's had tested their weight my co-worker and I did too. By clothes fit alone I knew I...

Photos don't load for me since I'm on dial up due to the storms of the week jacking w/ our wireless internet provider. That being said, the brains are 90% of the hunt horse operation, the remaining...

WSL- I remember your wonderful buckskin gelding quite well, he really was handsome and remarkable! You and my oldest kiddo were the only honest-to-goodness hunt seat girls in 4-H back then. When I...

If the Bev of whom you speak now has a different last name, a fellow Hunt Member, when told of my skills holding onto my beverage while getting out of the creek said "That would make B.E. most...

Summer begins for me when I see Merlin's Devon photos!! Beautiful driving turnout and is there nothing roany Merlin can't do?? The other photos show him competeing in a CDE and a regular event, how...

Beverley- now that's impressive to keep the beer as you decend rapids!

Foxtrot- your brave as is your mare!! There wasn't a bull on site that day! I respect those suckers, a lot and yet know a...
