I don't think it's the keeping or the killing of chickens that is the real issue. Same as with cats and dogs, the problem arises when the originally enthusiastic owner decides the novelty has worn...

Yes, Thank You. With Uber BNT world names you can expect to get away with charging riders. Though I know some folks have gone wanting for riders with that scenario... BUT a Centered Riding...

Consider an 'off' breed. I have a friend who has done very well with a halter bred Arabian. Debuted PSG last year, will show PSG this season. She paid $800 for him when he was a 2 year old. ...

No.

Actually, come to think of it, at Mary Wanless' teacher training courses all of the participating instructors take turns riding. That's a good deal as everyone gets a shot at being the...

Just ask PAS why they have gone online with the auction they used to hold at Frying Pan Park in VA.

Putting on an auction is an extremely expensive, difficult, complicated thing to do. American...

The clinic organizer claims that they have no trouble getting 'student riders' to pony up $250. Somehow, I am not entirely sure I believe that.

Are there any Cothers out there signed up to either...

OP - I'll point you towards the work of Mary Wanless. Any of her several books is helpful but especially her Ride Your Mind:Rider Essentials.

Clearing your throat is one way to 'find' and...

OP, That's really a pretty good question. BeeHoney offered a very good list.

In my experience, I too have known some folks to keep horses on some pretty darned shoe string budgets. My next...

Anyone from COTH planning on attending? I am in 08551 (Flemington area) of NJ and would love to carpool with someone.

kookikat - Don't people have to have schooling/certification to have a ' groom' job in the UK ? Is your possible employee pool limited to those persons 'certified' or can you hire 'just anybody?'

All righty, so I'll take a stroll on the shooting range and agree with the OP. Here's why.

Who's seen the Chris Rock 'documentary' Good Hair ?

I will summarize... Humans will all but burn...

OP Spaying mares has become an easier procedure these days. Done laparoscopically it is much less invasive and risky than it used to be. Most likely about $1500. For that price you could very...
