Everyone has different experiences but I have had three border collies that were and are great with kids. Entertain them all day long with ball games. And we don't have kids of our own but they have...

Just curious...

I am sure there are lots of legit reasons to use them and if they work for some that is great. But I am no great dog trainer, just did agility for fun for both of us, and to build confidence in my...

Although I have been riding mine a couple days a week for a few weeks.

Mine are out 24/7 on gently rolling pastures. One likes to take a gallop around daily and seems to stay quite fit, the other...

"Looking at the poll, we have a better than 1 in 10 chance of being actually sued, and if one considers voluntary payments and settlements as well, the number of us affected is pretty high."

but have had borzoi's. Have also had gun dogs, Great Danes, and herding dogs and the sight hounds are definitely different.

But mine were pretty good farm dogs. They were raised with cats and...

I grew up in Richmond, now live 45 miles east in very rural county and work downtown Richmond. Would live in either place (boonies or city) but never by choice would I live in between in the suburbs...

you don't know have it right in most instances -- just remember that in most 'learning curves' the steepest, hardest slog is on the up side. Combine that with being excited about learning something...

For what it is worth, and with Cattle dogs it is limited to one individual, here is my experience with these two breeds.

Great danes: do not need to be aggressive or particularly protective to...

$25.00 per visit (so usually 50/day for am and pm checks). That is for 3 - 4 horses that in most cases are out on pasture full time. No stalls to clean, just check/fill troughs, sometimes depending...

and am constantly impressed by what they are able to accomplish -- I always roll my eyes when I hear the 'kids these days' -- many of the students I work with are alot more driven and accomplished...

Kind of an oxymoron I know.

I am interested if we get a good ultrasound this week to see what the instructions are for the rehab.

Vet knows of horse's issues, and still wanted him stall...

I had a gelding with a suspensory tear many years ago. He did 6 weeks small paddock (not much bigger than stall) followed by six weeks pasture rest with ultrasounds between each transition.

After...

it is why I asked.

Carriages are good condition but not mint. One we had restored in the 90's when we bought it. We did strictly pleasure driving with local carriage club. Carriages were not used...

I have two carriages I bought at Martins in the 80's/early 90's.At that time lots of folks from Virginia and states up and down the east coast travelled to the auctions to buy. They were 'events'...

I am northeast of Richmond and keep hoping sporthorse folks will discover it....lots of land and much less expensive than north or west of Richmond. But still within good distance of racetrack, show...

I have two mares that are trough divers. I have a big (100 gallon?) rubbermaid tank that we put under the fence so just enough sticks out into the pasture for them to get their head in and drink. The...

at least ones small enough the horses/mower keep the grass at a relatively short height. We filled in a hole when we established a new pasture from a hay field and have not had ground hogs return or...

I am located between Richmond and Tappahannock off 360.

I have a lay-up who is a stall walker and needs hay that is yummy enough to keep his attention but not too rich that he can't be munching on...

And perhaps somewhat dependent on mean age of boarders and size of barn. I am in Virginia and primarily boarded at barns peopled mostly by adults, with smattering of teens, have also boarded in...

and you might want to look at the Virginia Institute for Marine Science (VIMS) website for research that does not agree that biosolids are safe.

The only thing I know for sure is the smell is not...

I have boarded and kept horses at home on and off for the last 30 years. Currently am doing both. I have largely had good experiences boarding and never the type of horror stories I see here on...

Or give a bullet list of the key points?

Had a fall with relatively hard hit to head and assume I need to replace helmet.

Among approved helmets, are there any documented differences in safety? Any differences among brands other than...

Am just getting back into riding so strength is definitely part of the problem. But have had issues with my ankles in the past was I was much fitter (and jogging/hiking as well as riding) and riding...
