I can see how it might be something of a "white elephant" for the owners. Not much acreage and no house. There may be no possibility of adding...

I wonder if many riders would go for paying for multiple tests but only getting to ride once. A poor ride could be VERY expensive!

With a thick "pony" mane like that, you may never be able to have is short and lying down. It is simply not possible to pull enough and likely...

IMPA: Different forms, but in my dogs case (idiopathic, non-erosive), she was a bit lame and generally ouchy. Since she had had back surgery, I was concerned...

Maybe out of left field, but you might investigate Immune Mediated Polyarthritis. It is an autoimmune condition, somewhat like rheumatoid arthritis....

On a related subject: I watched a Youtube video in which a sheep farmer euthanized a ewe with a captive bolt. (No, didnt show the actual act) It made...

I was not looking for a horse when I first saw mine, so I cant say if he matched what I was looking for! But I was a bit smitten with his pix and video....

Interesting. Shares some relatives with my boy, though he is much younger. Kissing cousins? https://www.allbreedpedigree.com/bnwd+illicit+affair

What is not working for you two?
If he is too hot or sensitive or you can't begin to sit his gaits, and you are not enjoying him, then moving on...

Congrats on the pregnancy! Your boy is more advanced for his age than mine was. Hope everything goes smoothly and you are able to be riding again soon...

BTDT. Kinda back there again with a new horse and no trail access for a while...

Previous horse was nervous and had been raced on trails....

I was enjoying reading the prospects thread. But my boy is almost 9 now, so not a youngster. But we still have a looong way to go! I would enjoy hearing...

You might want to consult a good sports/lameness vet to see if this is the best way to address the issue - or if the issue should be addressed at all....

[MsM]

My horse is unclipped and unblanketed except in the most extreme conditions (like outside in wind and single digits F) so I dont use a quarter sheet....

[MsM]

In your situation, I would either look for a boarder who will help, or I would look for someone to work, say one day/week. If you can afford it, you...

My boy was a feed tub destroyer! Ripped up buckets and even the corner feeder bolted in. Now he gets his food one of two ways: The area under...

[MsM]

Interesting! I have not seen some of those coat types IRL. I agree that their choice of breeding animals is questionable with no mention of any health...

Yeah one of the problems with designer crosses is that many, perhaps most, of those producing them are not careful responsible breeders. So in addition...
