Horses are not the only domesticated animals that go shod. In some parts of the world Water Buffalo (also D O M E S T I C A T E D!) are shod. They are shod for the EXACT same reason that shoes for...

Wow thats a total bummer about the duck eggs. I love cooking with Duck eggs, been known to use the odd Goose egg too (after an eager Stable Rat a buck to "go get that Goose Egg", Goose vs. Child who...

You forgot the cart and harness! One of the best ways to help keep a little long ears healthy, fit and happy is to give him/her a job. Mini Donkeys are great fun to drive!

The best NATURAL barefoot trim I've ever seen :D

First try putting the bucket on the ground. Hanging puts her neck and head in an unnatural position for eating. When the horse lowers its head to the ground (grazing position) the lower jaw slides...

Yep yep yep! E & Selenium is VERY easy to over feed and most owners have no clue! I really drives me nuts how it comes in a nifty little tub with a harmless looking scoop, usually a happy color of...

EVERYTHING you put in your horse is processed through the Liver and Kidneys. Modern horse owns often to a great job of smoking their horses organs by over loaded them with useless "supplements".

The picture posted, this one ( http://www.flickr.com/photos/hannitabonita/223050712/in/photostream/) IS an Angora GOAT and not a sheep of any kind. I used to live next door some breeders that had...

He's a heck of a HORSEMAN and totally right about 'natural horsemanship'. NOTHING that exists within the confines of DOMESTICATION can be under ANY circumstances be considered natural by scientific...

Im going to suggest a proper set of STOCKS! I think every barn should have one :D The last big trainer I worked for had a client with about two dozen unruly under handled rude as rude draft horses of...

Why not just use a standard WESTERN V-Browband or even a fancy shmancy knotted browband. Looks likes the dressage crowd is going that way. Next it will be silvered up saddles and rhinestones all over...

Sounds like a liability nightmare. God forbid someone "try" one of those on their horse and flips over or something. Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

There are wild Siberian horses that survive just fine in some of the most brutal BELOW zero weather on earth. Horses evolved in cold place they can...

"Sell" them to your best friend (or family) for a dollar. Write up paperwork, keep them then you don't lose them???? Maybe. The last thing you want is the Government selling off your old timers at...

oooohhh that hurt, really it did. :lol:

When my Ammys start looking for a horse of their own (something dressagey) I have one breed that I suggest first. Morgan, foundation/government/lippet bred to be specific! I am not per say " a Morgan...

To be completely honest I don't like ANY of the studs you have chosen (regardless of how nice their color is) if you are looking for a REAL hunter. If you are looking for a "dress up" hunter they...

Im with everyone else else who says a few pot holes will do the trick :lol: We had a similar thing years ago going on, some loser guy flying up and down the road in his huge "monster truck". He...

If you want her BROKE BROKE BROKE to a horse safe and reliable for an amature or a junior then I highly recommend Ruth Van Sweden, she's up in Windsor. She breaks and trains a lot of Warmbloods as...

Quick question. Are you boring him to death riding circles in a ring? If so open the gate and get OUT. I have trained many Friesians...I prefer a harness and a cart. Stellar carriage horses, riding...

Please fire your Trainer or Barn Manager or both. I have worked with trainers who ONLY trained top end show horses. They all lived the show horse life style. Box stalls, full training, grooms,...

I still love American Thoroughbreds and still ride them FRESH off the track! I don't get the "let them down for MONTHS" idea either. Ive taken more OTTBs than I can remember and aside from the ones...

Keep looking, in THIS economy 15k can buy you a pretty nice horse. It's unlikely we will ever see *deals* this good in our lifetime. Or at least I hope not. Honestly you can check out the big nice...

"good lord" to exactly what?. The FACT remains that the OP does NOT NOT NOT have any legal right to do ANYTHING with that horse. The ONLY person who CAN do anything is the owner and BARN OWNER. RE...

Rick Burton I think I love you :lol: Its nice that actual FARRIERS have piped up in this thread and its not just full OVER EMOTIONAL posters. I DO get the feeling that the OP is being very over...
