My guy is a 3/4 TB 1/4 perch draft cross. If I was going to mistake him for anything, it would probably be some brand of quarterhorse cross. But I was riding once, and a local dressage trainer was...

My kid is 18 months now, and mostly for financial reasons, horse is living a mostly-retired lifestyle out on field board about an hour and a half away. I knew the farm because it's where the canter...

Sometimes you can get lucky and find sale photos just by googling a whole lot.

Also, sometimes you get lucky and will find one posted on foaltrack.com (I don't know how active/updated this site...

Breathing stuff can be so heartbreaking. The worst case I ever knew was a fabulous horse who never made any weird breathing noises. But turned out to have his airway almost completely impeded. Lovely...

Very likely a tattoo misread. Common culprits: 3 and 8 often fade out to look similar. Same with 7 and 1.

I've sworn up and down that I'm seeing a six, but I have the horse's papers and it's...

For quite a while the Carpers had a contract of some sort and shipped horses to slaughter, yes. I don't think they've done so in quite some time since the rescue got involved. This was some number...

It's an interesting idea but there's more to it than just filling out IRS paperwork. First you actually have to incorporate as a nonprofit, which means you have to go through a process with the...

My guess is either a different shipping company or different shipping arrangement - like, if they took 6 ponies to KY on a smaller trailer it might cost more than if they're sending 12 horses on a...

If you are at all new to this, I'd really recommend looking at CANTER-owned horses vs. the "trainer owned" horses still at the track. You get to test ride, vet, etc, the canter-owned ones :)

I'm...

I'd probably have the same problem. And I know putting things off is not the best solution, but can you see how he does over the summer and then re-evaluate in the fall? My gut says sticking to your...

Nothing wrong with rehabbing and flipping horses, I just get cranky about people claiming to be a nonprofit and 501c3...

She never raced, and has had four registered foals:

2002 - She Is Grrreat (unraced) Someone made some money on this one, she sold as a yearling for $7000 then was sold as a two year old for...

And not that it matters one way or another to this particular horse, the rescue is not a registered nonprofit in Ohio, nor does it have a 501c3 (per searching the IRS) despite claiming to on their...

Just popping in because I really like this guy :)

Arctic Circle

Grandson of Kris S, for those who like that :)

Honestly, internally, I hate the idea too, but I also eat veal and lamb, and I can't imagine the people involved are any "worse" or "less human" than anyone else who is part of the process of putting...

Last OT day (or the one before) someone recommended The Sunne in Splendour, and I really enjoyed it. It took me a while, too (eta: I see this author has been recommended several times in this...

Of course it's not all about her, there are LOTS of people who would like to see the tail end of CMP. Not to be confused with wanting to see the tail of CMP. Which apparently only LH wants to see. ...

I don't think that's true. I know I think they should at least try to get AC involved if possible (even though I'm not sure they'd do anything).

That doesn't mean we can't also be annoyed and...

When I was using library computers you couldn't download anything to the computer - you had to use a USB memory thingy. They had one there you could use if you needed to.

But a lot of phones...

All things are possible!

To bet that one horse will come in 3rd or better, you place a single bet "to show". So if you think #4 will win, or be 2nd or 3rd, you place a bet on 4 to show. You get...

I have the big 50 gallon one also. Love mine, except in a recent move, it seems to have locked itself and I have no idea where the key is. So figuring out how to get into it without breaking...

The big question is why the physical attributes of your theoretical day laborers mattered at all. Why not say "try to find some strong guys who will help out for a few bucks and lunch?" Why did...

Though stifles were mentioned in one caption on the original link, I'm not sure it ever said that's where all the joint injections were going.

Having seen a lovely wrecked three year old at the...

I think it was the part about mexican farm hands that lifesabreeze was responding to. Could be wrong, of course, but doubt it.

There seems to be quite a breeze in here from things flying over...
