Jingles to Yardsale! It sounds like he is going to come out of this great. I am on the same path as you (different injury though) and as of tomorrow, we are 1 month into our stall rest + hand...

I have a 3 y.o. that gets about a cup of "Grow n' Win" (a ration balancer) a scoop of oats, and about a cup of Ultimate finish (a fat supplement) 2X per day. My vet thought she was a little thin...

Muleskick: Good idea. I'm not sure how to move the post (or does the OP need to do that?) But I will tell you that after I bought my mare I did want to contact her original breeders/trainer (never...

I own one of each--but unfortunately they are on two different horses (who are different sizes) so it's hard to compare directly. Here's what I can say. The Schneider's "v-fit" style did not work...

Let's see--last Sunday's gallop in the snow! Nothing like a horse that is sensible and well within themselves at speed. :D

Also that she is also a willing, enthusiastic eventing partner, a...

YEH aside, there are some people who start jumping horses at your horses age. I have a 3 year old that turns 4 in May. Unfortunately, she was raised in a hunter barn and they already jumped her u/s...

This week, my shoer put my horses shoes on with borium nails for some added traction for our snowy/icy footing. She only has shoes on the fronts, with snowpads. I noticed that my horse seemed...

I am wondering this too! Sounds from these replies there are no hard, fast rules on what size they end up. My friends horse (oldenburg/Tb) did keep growing until age 7. Really filled out and grew...

It's a great video for someone who is just starting out and easy to understand (as the OP has asked). I am a bit biased because 2 of my friends "star" in it (the two women who are also shown riding...

Another factor in this equation is whether they are in regular work during the winter or not. If they grow a huge coat and you ride them (say, in an indoor) they get very sweated up. You have to be...

Another idea: Lunging lessons . . . for you. Ask your trainer to give you lessons on the lunge line. Great way to improve your seat. If you don't have a trainer--ask an experienced horse buddy to...

Some ideas. Cavaletti--I highly recommend Klimke's book on Cavaletti for ideas. You also get really warm dragging the cavaletti's out and setting them up! Also great workout for your horse--as...

Over the holidays, my sister's family was visiting and wanted to go see my horses. Of course--none of them are "horsey", and didn't want to ride, and I knew that the males of the group would be...

OK--let's see if this works, it's my first time posting pics! :yes: Took photos of both eyes today. As you can see, the left eye is not swollen, tearing, or irritated--just dried junk by the eye (a...

I actually think it's better to keep them moving in cold weather. Sometimes when the footing outside gets icy or frozen underneath, they stop moving around much in turnout. They usually love coming...

I will try to take a photo tomorrow and post it (if I can figure out how to post a photo). The eye does not seem irritated, and she is not rubbing it. She doesn't mind me picking at it either. ...

I bought a 3 year old mare in October. She always has gunk that is dried and accumulates in the corner of her left eye. I had my vet look at it and she couldn't find anything obvious. She did...

I used aspirin regularly for my horse for his allergies that used to effect his eyes (caused tearing and swelling). The vet recommended it as effective for his condition (which it was), and claimed...

This will be my first year I have goals for two! :D

Keep my teen aged mare sound so she can continue to be a wise and brave role model for my new 3 year old. I would like to continue competing...

I started using it about 4 months ago for my 15 year old Tb who works hard for a living (event horse). She has arthritis in her hocks and I give her adequan shots too. She used to start out a...

I think with youngsters (2-5) many things are temporary! But that's what makes them so fun too--there is amazing progress sometimes. I have a 3 year old that I bought in October and it is...

OK--I was tempted by the Tack of the Day quarter sheet myself. But the one pictured on Tack of the Day doesn't appear to have the part that goes under the saddle (or am I smoking my own exhaust?) ...

I had a WB cross (Han/Tb) that would leave the county when I fell off of him. And usually it was after *he* unseated me by his bucking demonstration. My OTTB has never bucked me off, however, she...

They are the Saxon "Equi leather" boots. You can get them from SmartPak or Dover. A couple of the junior riders at my barn recommended them and I am impressed. They were $75. They only have field...

Well, my older mare has a Rhino which has lasted for ages. I do think they are worth the money.

However, I bought a 3 year old this fall and did not want to spend much $$ since she will...
