I agree with this poster. I own one and will never buy another. Especially as a dressage horse. Even if your horse is sound, they will most likely look unsound as high/low horses usually have a...

Best wishes to you grayarabpony! I'm not learnin' to glue or nail or nuthin'!

I miss the days when I just signed over the check to the farrier and didn't give a thought to whether the shoes were...

Ok good - that sounds promising. I was planning on a combo of glue and nails anyway, but I was confused when the person I contacted suggested that they wouldn't hold up well to the 24/7 turnout. ...

Chlorine in the Equine diet (yes, it's a necessary element for horses and humans!)

I also have a bleach licker. He's never been a fan...

I just asked because I contacted someone from the epona website and was told that 24/7 turnout isn't a good environment for the eponas. Just wanted to see what other peoples experiences were in that...

Maybe your relative is just making the offer because he knows how much the mare means to you, but deep down he's hoping you choose the other option? The only way to find out is to have a...

These threads have piqued my interest in synthetic shoes and glue-on options, but I'm curious as to how they would hold up on a horse who is out all the time. Any chance they'll survive more than a...

No suggestions but yowza, what a nuisance. You have my sympathy. And you just made me feel a bit better about my slightly herdbound horse. Is she dangerous to handle when her buddy is taken away? ...

I think the best advice given on this thread is to consider what the horse is actually doing in conjunction with his/her age. If an aged pony is still w/t/c and trail riding, there's no reason you...

I have put the feelers out everywhere (networking with instructors and pony clubbers through friends of friends, etc.) to try and make sure I don't miss my gem. And if I ride one that I really like...

Oh, the thought of me doing 100 endurance rides is downright hilarious. Between the job and kids, a 45 minute ride is a marathon for me. I can't remember the last time I brushed a mane or...

A free lease would be fantastic, but those are hard to stumble upon. When someone's got an older one that's worth having, there are people lined up to take him when the owner is ready.

Offering a...

Ain't that the truth!

Both of the ones I'm considering looking at are currently working harder than I'd require of them, and with fewer accomodations (like meds, supplements, injections, etc.)...

I've been thinking about chiming in on this thread. I had a bilateral neurectomy done on my TB several years ago (4-5? Can't remember exactly...I've had kids and the loss of brain cells that goes...

It seems that a lot of the horses that fit the criteria of what I'm looking for are advanced in age. I'd like to hear from others who have purchased older horses and how it has turned out. Does...

I haven't read every post, so I don't know if anyone else mentioned it, but make sure you also watch the one entitled "she got owned by a pony." Mom leading Ed and son over crossrails and she trips...

You have a good horse and a good husband? Honey, you better quit while you're ahead. Don't poke sticks at fate--sounds like she's due to bite you in the a$$! ;)

I'd keep it very informal, and just mention that you're going to try a lesson with the new trainer. Don't make it like a big production like you're leaving the old trainer and moving on 100%. I've...

I'm bored and wondering if there are any sale barns out there that I don't know about already in the Delmarva region. H/J, Eventing, Dressage, Breed specific...whatever. Just curious as to what is...

You do NOT want her.

Now just tell me where to show up with my trailer and $300 please. :)

Thanks for the replies. I was suprised at first. The instructor I was talking to said she gets horses and ponies at a couple of local auctions, and puts her more advanced students on them to see if...

I'm just curious. I never thought to ask when I first started riding years ago (as a beginner you don't wonder where the horses come from). The places I've asked all said they get them relatively...

Most places I've boarded have had 2 week notice rule either way (BO had to give you 2 weeks to find a new place if they asked you to leave; you had to give 2 weeks notice...or just pay prorated...

The tuffrider piaffes look pretty nice. Has anyone tried them? I'm finding them for around $70.

I am doing the power90 (precursor to p90x). I also exercise in the morning, and found I needed to flip my caloric intake (I usually eat light in the am, heavier in the pm). It didn't make sense...
