I was invited to bring one of my horses and a buggy to a reenactment even last April, and had a great time. Because I wasn't "officially" a reenactor, I did not have to worry about taking off the...

That was really cool. Those Belgians could really pull. The mouse or whatever was probably one surprised rodent. There are a couple other older videos of draft horses getting cars and trucks out of...

Gee, so little concern expressed for the two horses on CL in Louisiana- Hmmmm. I guess these kinds of ads are so common that people just don't feel spurred to action any more. I see that this thread...

Welsh La Man Charged With Negligent Homicide

Please note the headline says the horse's owner was charged with negligent homicide- not homicide.

Also, please note that Louisiana's laws are...

Hope things get better for you and that your horse heals completely. Sometimes people don't understand until the find themselves in a similar situation. Just try to ignore their "digs." I know that's...

Glad to hear your dog seems to be doing okay. I hope he recovers fully, and is back to normal soon. Hope you all have a Happy New Year. 2011 has to be better than 2010. :)

Will check out your blog on Seamus, and keep my fingers crossed that all will be well. I guess you are the best Christmas surprise he could have gotten.

I have used original Listerine on rain rot...

Thank you for your info on such ads appearing on CL in Nevada. I was just surprised to start seeing these kinds of ads locally. I posted them just as an FYI, and also because I wanted to know if...

See-- This post is exactly an example of the outrageous and ridiculous way some people on this forum like to twist things around. Please note this thread was originally about two CL ads that I found...

I did email to ask them to please not ride him-- if he really were foundered until they called out a vet-- Didn't get a reply.

I do not have facilities to keep a stallion- foundered or not...

Yes, I would-- And my reply is without snarkiness or attitude, too. But after getting several PMs from my friends on coth about the very nasty turn the posts took on my thread-- I never went back to...

Saw the following ads today. Ads like these make me wish I had the money and resources to help more horses that get in jams like these. I wonder if ads like these are just in the Louisiana CL or if...

First, let me say that I am so sorry for your loss and understand the complex emotions that you are experiencing. I have, through the years, dealt with making final arrangements for several horses.

I have met and know several people who worked for him on the 40, but never met Mr. Sparrow. I posted about his passing on the driving forum.

He was certainly a true legend who accomplished much...

Jacques, a Peruvian gelding, developed a swollen sheath and it turned out to be an early sign that he had DSLD according to my vet. His dam had the condition confirmed at death by necropsy.

Lots of jingles for your stock dog!!! Sounds like you got him help in time. No matter how careful we try to be watching out for our four-legged friends--you just never know. Please post to let us...

Spookhorse- What a nice Christmas surprise. I am not a TB person at all, but Seamus looks like a really nice-looking guy. Hope he has personality to match. I love the "chrome."
I believe horses know...

Victorian24- I'm posting in support of your vent-I agree with you 1000%-- if you are still bothering to read any the drivel being posted in response to your vent. In general, many of the posts (on...

Dick Sparrow of the 40-horse Hitch fame has died at 81

Here is a link to the story- hope it works:

I spent Christmas Eve day grooming horses, and cleaning and polishing harness and buggy. I drove Betty and buggy to church on Christmas eve-- with bells! When we got home, I groomed her again, and...

Lost Barney- an approximately 28 year old grade Percheron gelding-to a stroke followed by vet-administered euthanasia, and burial near his favorite spot in the pasture. He was a resident of Elysian...

Thanks for your condolences. Unfortunately Luna is still dead and will remain so. She wasn't running. But doesn't matter anyway- Dog WILL be gone. Her owner told me to just turn her loose, and let...

I just lost Luna- one of the sweetest cats ever -- because I did a good deed for a friend who was involved in an awful divorce. I am just heart sick.

Luna was a beautiful brown tabby with fluffy...

I have a Paso Fino gelding here (rescue soon to be rehomed, hopefully) that does that whenever he sees ANYthing unusual in his "space." He does the same loud warning snort several times in a row...
