Very nice! To clean up his turn arounds more I would get him out in a small circle at a forward trot and work on lifting those shoulders with a slight inside bend. Then come right down into your turn...

It drives me crazy to see this kind of abuse.

What makes me shake my head even more is that the training philosophy my trainer uses has the horses responding and performing better then the others...

I completely agree and don't condone it in any sense. That was the first time I groomed for this particular farm and will certainly be the last. I was just using it as an example that it's possible.

Just a possible answer to the "horse show meds..." My theory doesn't entirely explain it but could be part of it.

Having just groomed for a farm that heavily uses "Easy Does It" I know it is not...

If you have a tractor supply in your area, we sell a kitten vaccine. It deals eith the respiratory issues. A drop in each eye, the rest up the nose. It's about $7 a cat. May be worth it if you have...

Feed raw!!! Not over the top expensive. I pay about a dollar a pound for meat and feed whole prey model. And if its just cats, they don't eat a whole lot anyways. The raw meat really helps them stay...

There's really no need for commercial raw food. It's overpriced and often has vegetables which dogs cannot digest, and way too much bone for them. I aim to feed my dogs for $1 per pound. They get an...

I feed raw. 80% meat. 10% bone. 10% organ. (5% of which is liver)

No vegetables, no fruits, no satin balls etc. your dog can't digest those things.

Start with chicken. Aim to feed mostly...

So I charge between $75 and $100 for full body clipping. Nice show quality clip, no lines. The price includes a complementary bath. Either you give them one or I will. I spray them down with show...

What do you pay or...what are you paid to body clip a horse?
Any differential for ponies or naughty horses?

Just trying to get a feel for if my prices are reasonable.
Thanks!

Almost all the time, we sleep in the trailer...my dad converted our tackroom with a 4' long wall into living quarters with a shower, hot water heater, bed, and cabinets.

Some of my greatest...

Is it just me or has everyone in the world been SUPER cranky lately???

I didn't say what terrible horses this barn had...I was just browsing youtube last night watching videos...which I do...

The Chestnut...I'm not sure, but there's something that I don't like at all...maybe it's the way he hangs in the air..

Some background info...this was about 5 years ago...making me about 15. My palomino was 7...his first year showing the 3'. This was the first round of a...

Couldn't agree more! When my bbrother was 6, he was riding his strong forward pony in a rubber pelham with TWO reins and he did just fine...he understood how both reins worked and effectively used...

There Are No Problem Horses, Only Problem Riders.

It's a fantastic read!

Looking for info on a pony I knew years ago....probably 8 years ago now. His name was Bittersweet Oliver Twist, super cute grey gelding. I think he was Welsh/TB. He was bred by Dr. and Mrs. Yeaton...

I wish we had a like button! I couldn't agree more!!!

I clean 10 stalls every single morning...and we bed deep....I totally love my stall cleaning time! Keeps my arms a wee tone ;] and it's completely relaxing to me. Sounds like the extremely lazy way...

Since when is stall cleaning that terrible?

I'm not sure about PC because it is not popular in my area however the worst boarders seem to be the ones who have never been involved in the industry....they are the ones who have unrealistic...

Age entirely depends on the horse...I got my just turned 3y/o when I was 12 with 30 days on him. He walked, jogged, and uhm....stumbled. :lol:
Within a month my 5 y/o brother was walk/trotting him...

Yes, that's how much they stretch...I went a calf size smaller than I normally wear and they stretched to fit perfectly. I bought tall slims in the mens and they are beyond my favorite boots.

Charles Owen by far fits me best and is most comfortable. I have the CO Professional.

Mountain horse...they run about $300...I don't remember the model I have but they have the elastic gusset in the calf and a square toe...mine are a men's size so I could get the height I needed...I...
