It's actually worse for a dog or cat then it is for a horse. Horses are pretty simple. Health certificate and coggins to get on the boat, with the addition of a hosed down with a permethrin based...

I am still in Hawaii. We don't really have any events, though there is a little cross country course at the ranch here. Pony club uses it for their annual camp. There is a nice little hunter...

Not me riding her. I was taking pictures. Not my saddle either. Pixi is an easy to fit horse, at least right now she is, so my trainer uses her own saddle.

If I had the trip to Hawaii to do over again I would have waited another 3 months. She was only about 100 days out of the wild when I moved her and was fine when being handled by folks who knew what...

She's from the stinkingwater HMA in Oregon. While I would normally say that nature had help from the BLM in choosing her conformation, but SW hadn't been rounded up in 20 years before the 2010...

Some of you may remember that I adopted a mustang from the BLM a year ago. It's been a crazy road, and one that I didn't get to enjoy as much as I would have liked. Unfortunately work decided I...

How about a grooming halter, the kind that is basically just a noseband? Not sure you could get one out to you in time to make a difference.

My little mustang. 14.0 and change right now at 3. Rider isn't me, but she is 5'8".

My mom ended up getting me a pair of Ariats. The "Heritage Western R toe." They fit like a glove! I decided to wear them to the barn today to start the breaking in process. OMG! There was no...

My little mustang was 13.3 when I adopted her, I swear she looked bigger at the pens. She's only 3 and a smidge over 14.0 right now. I doubt she will make it to 14.2. I'm 5'9, my trainer rolled...

Fans don't do as much for dogs as the do for people/horses. They help us because the moving air makes it easier for sweat to evaporate from our skin. Since dogs don't sweat they don't see as much...

Any taller riders successfully made the switch? I'm 5'9, about 140. I'm hoping to get a pony between 14.0 and 14.2. I know a pony could carry me, just wondering if I can make it work without...

Shipping to Hawaii isn't really any worse than shipping the horses all the way across the country, which the BLM does with completely unhandled mustangs all the time. I'm going to have the trainers...

Some EMM horses might be picked for flash, but this bunch is pretty tame. Lots of bays and chestnuts. I think the flashiest horses in the bunch are black.

Seems more like they are using it to...

Hmmm, possible, but I'm actually flying into Seattle and driving down to Burns with my Father. (Father/Daughter bonding road trip). It's already an 8 hour drive. That and I won't be able to haul a...

She mostly is just suggesting I get one I can see go ahead of time, not because she thinks I can't handle a non-EMM horse. The horse would have to be shipped to Hawaii from Oregon, and I have no...

So I'm in the initial planning phase of making this mustang adoption thing a reality and I have a couple of choices. I'm having a hell of a time wieghing the options and picking the best one.

As some of you probably know from previous posts I'm looking to get a new horse. Old horse is in a lease-to-buy arrangement and it may be a few months before the owners-to-be finally get up the...

I'm not a huge fan of doing tons with my hair. A bun or ponytail is about the extent of my concern. I do occasionally get rid of the sprinkling of grays though. The home kits work just fine, only...

No, but a young lady at my barn has fallen in love with my horse. They have a better relationship than he and I do, on the ground anyway. I'm not much of one for cuddling with my horses. Her...

I have exactly the same problem and no it's not a strength thing. Personally, I have benign hyper mobility syndrome in my ankles (as well as other joints) and they roll out. Without the stablity...

I do a "comb over" forelock. Horse has a lovely thick mane but no forelock. I let his bridle path grow out and pull it forward, so it lays flat under the bridle. I start the braid right around the...

I work 40+ hours a week. I also enjoy spending weekends with my husband. I do it by being honest with my riding goals, and with what I will be able to manage on my schedule. It helps to remind...

Horse got kicked out of the big pasture for bad behavior he's now stuck in a paddock. It's got a monkey pod tree that provides shade and some shelter from the rain but I would like to look into...

My gelding was kicked out of the herd for attempting to kill one of the other horses. My boy is a bit dominant, but nothing excessive. Other horse had a stroke and my boy went absolutely nuts. ...
