My collie is the best watch dog and great with kids. Easy peasy to train. She's more observant than the shepherd. I have a "Beware of the Collie, She'll Wake Up the Shepherd" sign on the gate, and...

My horses are named Hannah and Robbie. One of the girls at the barn is named Hannah and her brother is named Rob. Hannah the horse is new and came with the name and I didn't even know the family...

I don't necessarily recommend this (I work for lawyers and feel compelled to insert a disclaimer), but my first trainer (let's not talk about how long ago this was), put my heel through my stirrup...

I wouldn't do it. From your research, the odds of curing the cancer don't look good. Dogs don't understand getting 6 more months of life with the kids. They live in the now. It's especially rough...

I am so sorry. But don't be suprised if you do hear her trotting through the house. They sometimes come back to say goodbye and to offer comfort. My Becky did last year. Sable knows you love her.

Like others have said, there's good and bad. My pet peeve when I worked as a vet tech were people who claimed their dogs were in schutzhund training, but had difficulty with basic obedience...

Ditto. Divorce and cut your losses.

Hey, Harvey Horses! I take offense! The common term for paralegal is Professional Nag. Although, I refer to myself as a Border Collie. I just herd the sheep er, lawyers in the direction they...

I rode at night as an adult. It was the only way to keep schooling during the winter. I did have a grey horse and a safety vest on though. One nice couple stoped as I was riding and said they were...

So sorry to hear about your situation. When my husband left, I went to nursing school. It was rough for a couple of years because it is very hard to go to school and work full time and handle the...

CA at least makes more sense than Perrelli (sp). At least he admits that if there was less feed and more wet saddle pads, people wouldn't need him!

Get RiderUSA as your auto club. AAA does you no good while hauling a trailer. Check your tire pressure regularly and know what the pressure should be for both the truck and trailer.

My zipper broke on my Tipparary vest. It just doesn't hold. The teeth pull apart. I bought it a few years ago and have barely used it. Naturally, I don't have the receipt either so I doubt I can...

How about "Way Too Many Blues"!

You're not just paying for his time, you're paying for the staff that was there to answer your call, send you the bill, the facilities that were there, insurance etc. My firm bills me, a paralegal,...

If he's food motivated, I'd toss a treat and tell him to "move". He should naturally go to the treat. You could start this training while sitting down and not moving. That would make going away...

I do it. You have to be willing to let somethings slide in order to still have time to ride. Also, it helps if you can afford to hire people do some of the more mundane chores. For example, my...

I was told by my insurance company that my liability insurance would cover the horse IF I was found to be negligent and IF I was sued by my friend for the medical bills or loss of the horse. I...

I feed Diamond Extreme Athlete. Diamond has two lines of food. The regular line (which I agree, looks pretty crappy) and the all natural line. The first ingredient in Extreme Athlete is chicken. ...

I usually only want to move in the winter when I have to crawl to the barn because the driveway in front of the barn is a sheet of ice and when I'm taking my life into my own hands as I climb metal...

Well, the "common cold" is usually caused by the rhino virus in humans. But most viruses are species specific, so your horse won't catch a "cold" from you. However, horses do catch upper...

Sometimes you just get lucky. If you like him, vet him and buy him!

I'd just keep her. She doesn't mind not being ridden. (In fact, she probably thinks she won horsie lotto)! She started your writing career. That alone would have earned her early retirement!

I did the math once and calculated that I had a 75% cat mortality rate within the first year. After that year, the survival odds increased dramatically. My barn is very, very close to a major road...
