Years ago I bought a pony that was a Trakehner (Mikado) and POA cross. But that's not all --- the POA had been bred to Mikado, had a stud colt that was not weaned, and yes, bred its dam and she then...

I'm at a horse show in Iowa and the tornado sirens went off about an hour ago. Since we're in a camper, we went to the nearest shelter. It looks to be moving fast and is already east of us, with a...

I live in Sarasota for part of the year, and if I had my horse there, I would keep him at Fox Lea Farm in Venice, which is about 20 miles south. The board is reasonable, turnout pretty good, and they...

I think this may be just the tip of a very large iceberg.

Just wanted to say, as a barn owner, that I'm sorry this happened to your horse. If I were your BO I would insist on helping with the vet bills and be glad that the horse wasn't permanently injured....

I live in Sarasota part of the year, but don't ride while I'm here. Im actually at Fox Lea today and tomorrow as they are having a USEF show with a Grand Prix and hunter derby. It's a very nice...

" In an emergency situation, I would think most BOs would allow something and then have the horse moved, but I think in an on-going situation, if they can't provide the care needed or trust that the...

I have a similar philosophy. It is God help anyone disobeying my rules on my property.

We did finally have to ask an otherwise great boarder to leave when she just would not stop treating all the horses in the barn. Not to mention the dogs and cats as well. The clamor would begin when...

I will admit to being biased, as the owner of a full care boarding facility, but if I were you, I would stay put! We've had basically the same clientele for 15 years, and not a week goes by without...

mvp, maybe Mr. Goodman will adopt you :)

I have a 6/8 horse head to head Elite. It's a nice enough trailer and I'd probably think better of it IF...I'd never had a 4-Star. Which is what I traded in to buy the Elite, and now I think 4-Star...

My very own bed in my very own RV with my very own sheets and towels and keurig coffeemaker :)

Ours is in the upper Midwest and has everything listed but a cross country course--however, our friends place 1/2 mile hack away has that. And our hours are 6-5, 7 days/week. Board is $1500.

Please google Personalized Products. They are at WEF with their mobile unit and also do work out of their home town in Hartford WI. Owners are Curtis and Carrie Gunst-- they are easy to work with and...

For all of you with AQHA registered hunters, here is some news about the new derby series for 2012. So far, there are 7 shows hosting a derby, and the finals will be sometime in the early Fall. The...

To build from scratch, which we did 17 years ago, the excavating and dirt work was 20k, the paddock fencing (13 acres) was 40k, the riding ring surface 25k, water well and gas lines, 18k--basically...

"I am not a lawyer but.....

Since you told them they had to leave today, (presumably not giving them 30 days notice you are required to give in your contract?) I would think you might have made...

Emily, we've given exactly the opportunity you're looking for to several young ladies. They came to us at 16, worked at anything thrown at them, lived at the farm, groomed at the shows, got to ride...

Here's one for you--just saw him last Friday. A 4 year old 18.2 hh son of IA with the nicest personality you could ask for. Just...

I've been looking into a syndication opportunity on a bucking bull. I really want to do it, but it's almost impossible to break in at the top level-- the "star" bulls that are at the top of the game...

Hmmmm--maybe there's more than one ad. Ours has a big photo of Sporty looking to the right, and a panel of small ones showing him being saddled, galloping, and jumping. No ponytails, just her in a...

Can I brag a little?! Purina did that photo shoot at our barn, with my daughter and her "heart" horse. I jokingly told my friends that the photographers said two things I will probably never again...

Not every showgrounds is set up for camping--you may need a generator, which will add substantially to the cost of the camper. And if you choose a motorhome, you are pretty much stuck at the...

If you want to bring water from home, use a muck bucket with a heavy duty garbage bag liner. Fill it and tie the bag shut so it doesn't splash all over. At rest stops, just dip into it with a smaller...
