    One of the scariest thing I saw was a boarder who was moving a few states away. Her parents came to pick up the horse in a pick-up, with a frame bolted to the truck bed. Backed up the truck to a...
  2. If it is hot out, I always haul with them open,...

    If it is hot out, I always haul with them open, unless I am hauling a loose foal. For many decades, I hauled with a trailer that had no back doors, and never had any issue.

    Once, actually on...
  3. Perfect! Does the other mare stay out at night? ...

    Perfect! Does the other mare stay out at night? If so, better yet, get him nursing off an igloo cooler. Then you can just hang it on the fence, and he can nurse at will, so you can leave him out...

    I really wanted to be there for this, but my son is coming home on a short leave from the Army.

    We ran 5 Dressage shows & combined Tests per year, and Lucy judged our shows for about 13 years...

    When we had a horse with pinworms, the worms werre very resistent to ivermectin and Quest. Panacur and Strongid are what solved the problem, but we had to repeat every 30 days.

    This is why I began to breed. My boarders had such a tough time finding a quiet, talented horse, so I began to breed them.

    I actually like him. He is not going to have a high set neck, but it will probably not look like it does now when he matures. I don't know what they are looking for gait-wise, in QHs, but his gaits...

    My goals have been a bit different than others. For me, temperament and trainability are critical. My goal has always been to produce talented horses that amateur riders can start (break) and train...

    Without having the hay tested, I would feed less alfalfa for weight loss.

    Next would depend on the cutting of orchardgrass. If 2nd cutting, that would be the next to go.

    If both Timothy...

    Stallions are actually VERY predictable, but that means that hormones CAN suddenly make him, well, a stallion. Just because YOU don't see the loose foal running down the alley, don't think for a...

    Which warmblood mindset? Some are super quiet, steady eddie types. Others are super hot, sensitive, and spooky.

    I agree that any warmblood without a good dose of TB will be very heavy.

    Yes, when they are loose, they catch/stick/lock for a moment, and slip off. Sometimes it can be described as tripping behind.

    The opposite can also happen with loose stifles. They can...

    The horse here they did Estrogen injections on, I believe it was about 4-6? That fixed him, totally. He is no longer here, so I don't know if the problem ever returned. He was here for about a year...

    This is classic loose stifle. They feel like they collapse out from under you for a stride, then catch themselves and go on fine.

    Fitting up improves this a lot. Walking up and down hills, work...

    I think this comes down to overall attitudes toward horses and turnout period. The worst fights I have seen have been mare to mare, gelding to gelding, or mare to gelding, but I DO still turn horses...
