Tell me about your experiences with sole bruises, please! My vet told me to pack it with Magic Cushion and put him on bute for a few days. I know they typically last a couple weeks, but can last...

PM :-]

This is something you should discuss with your trainer. Very hard to suggest a price range without knowing the horse/seeing it go.

As a soon to graduate senior, I think it really depends on your major and what you plan to get involved in. The majority of the time I have been in school I haven't had a horse with me. This is my...

I had a semi-trade go well. I had a 16.3 TB mare that wasn't working out or staying sound doing what I had bought her for. The lady I bought her from had another TB gelding who she thought would work...

Scubed- Thanks for the link, and I love that they are on sale :-D Do you have the Original ones or one of the others?

I am looking into purchasing new boots for my horse since he currently goes in SMBIIs and I HATE THEM. I've got it narrowed down between the Woof brushing boots and the Nunn Finers. They are around...

I don't have any reason to think he's in any sort of pain while being worked. He's been going really, really well and gives no resistance to anything under saddle or while doing anything once caught.

I brought peppermints out with me which usually does the trick. He hears the crinkle of the the plastic wrapper and comes or at least stands still. Today, however, I tried catching him for about...

Hello all!
So today I went to the barn. Walked out to the pasture to get my horse and spent the next 40min trying to catch the snarky little turkey while he cantered circles around me. Now this is a...

PM!

Ok, so I'm FINALLY bringing my horse out to college with me and boarding him at a fantastic place. Thing is, I haven't boarded a horse in years and the last place I did was a very small, family-like...

I second the Jello. We use that at the clinic where I work during the summers for horses that aren't to thrilled about their meds. Works pretty well!

I would say that black, white or leather is ok for stadium, but IMHO I would never buy white boots b/c if you ever use them in mud or clay they will get dirty and it will show. Black is best! haha

The caveson is actually pretty snug, I don't think I could get it any tighter, maybe one more hole. I agree with the look of a figure 8, they look sharp. Any opinions on the Nunn Finer bridles? ...

Thanks to both!

VicariousRider- I will definitely start putting that exercise to use! One trainer I have ridden with suggested I just hold my hands steady and let him fight against himself, while...

I am looking to buy a new bridle and would like opinions on which noseband would be better. I have always ridden my horse in a Flash. He tends to open his mouth to avoid the bit(just a simple eggbutt...

Hello all! I am considering doing a trace clip on my horse for the winter mainly because I plan on riding a lot over break to get him back in shape and taking him with me back to school in January....

Hello all! I am a senior in Animal Science and have to do a presentation for my animal ethics class. I was going to do tail blocking in western pleasure horses but someone else did that already so I...

I am struggling with the decision as to what's best for my mare. She's 19y/o TB, while I know that's not super old, she has not aged well. She suffered injury to a hind suspensory years ago and was...

Banamine is usually given with eye issues. Not necessarily only for pain but also for anti-inflammatory. We had a filly at the clinic this summer that had septic uveitis. She was put on drops...

PM! :)

Thanks! I figured the age/lack of show experience thing may be an issue. He's gone to quite a few schooling shows, just not many recognized events. I used to Pony Club on him. I've taken him...

haha yeah, just noticed that. All fixed now :D

Hello all! Just wanted to get some opinions on my horse. Be honest, I know he's not perfect and you won't hurt my feelings!
