There was a horse in the early 80s at a local A show I saw each year. His name was "Read the Will."
I always got sort of depressed when I watched him go in the Am. Adult Hunters.

I have gotten several calls from people wanting me the help them unload 2 horses and three cats. All different people, all within a week.

I wake up half expecting to see an animal on my front...

What makes for a good all-purpose Equine Emergency Medical Kit?

What things can double for horses along with the barndogs and barncats?

Chai, please keep us posted on your article! Jswan I'll check with mods to see if we could get a sticky here. thanks!

I also did a search here on COTH using keywords "emergency prepare" and printed out the info. Is there a way to maybe have a standing list of how to prepare, tips, etc. for emergencies? Just a...

The tape idea in mane/tail is a great idea! JSwan, I'll look into my local government and see what they hve to offer. I'm building my list slowly.
I did find this link:...

I just turned this post into a sticky. (My first sticky. I'm so proud of myself! sniff).

Please post your Horse-Related Emergency Preparedness Tips here. Also, please post where you're from, ie:...

AnneS I agree with your insightful post.

I'm also wondering: Many years ago, were there breakdowns on the race track like we see now? I'm saying many years ago, before 1960s say.
I recall...

I thought Mike Celizic had an insightful column here: http://nbcsports.msnbc.com/id/24468641/site/21683474/

He is calling for a fix to the industry.

Like lcw, I also remember not using saddle pads while showing. My old saddle (from 1974) still has the big sweat stains on the bottom from that!
And, we rarely wore helmets, shows were held in a big...

Guess where I'm going with my three children late Christmas Eve? Thank you for posting that!

I was sitting on my Arab mare, Apple, feet out of stirrups, daydreaming and she did the full-body shake. I fell right off. I was 10 years old. I never forgot the humiliation, not to mention the butt...

Back in the 70s when I was in 4-H, we ALL fed calf manna. That was theeee oohhnly supplement we were supposed to feed. It also kept the barn cats, barn dogs, birds and assorted other wildlife...

"He's coming 4."

I haven't read through every single post, but is it possible to send the euthanized foal to a university for study?

That way this foal's existence would not be ultimately considered totally...

At every KHP show, I never missed my chance to go over and say hello to the "grumpy old man." He was so awesome and strong and gave us such wonderful memories.

- really don't understand why my decision not to have children produces
such an intense reaction in those that do?[/quote]

It shouldn't produce such an intense reaction and sadly it often does. ...

I'm the proud and kindly leader of the Equestrian Scrap Booking Clique which I founded. Scrap on horse lovers, scrap on!!:D

We have tolerated "uninvited visitors" for many years, since our place is quite visible from the street. We have "Please don't feed fingers to the horses" signs posted on the front pasture and we...

I have used Orvus for the past 25 years. I think it's for carpet cleaning.

"Laughter In the Rain." I just did not like that name. sounded so dorky.:lol:

I have a horsey baby onesie that comes with a matching bib and a plush pony friend that I can send. I did not make it but it's in my online catalog and I would be more than happy to pull it from the...

Ok, I'll throw out another one, just from my own experience.
You know what I have? An abundance of kids - an abundance of kids whose parents cannot afford an expensive horse.
I sometimes lease...

Caffeinated, another question, as I'm not a breeder and I'm not privy to what goes on in breed registries.
Why would those registries (where you mentioned it could make the biggest difference) why...

After reading through most of the previous posts, I've a question:

Is there anything in particular being done, say, to possibly limit the number of horses that can be bred each year?
I realize...
