Absolutely believe - I also strongly believe in the powers of St. Anthony - I can't tell you how many times he has helped me find things I have lost.

Karma - I sort of believe in. I do think many people escape from karma.

First Thank you for all the replies and suggestions. I'll answer what I can MusicalComedy - Yes, it's the same horse and yes she's a PRE. I rode her many times before I bought her and she was quiet and would walk and trot nicely, tho still green since she was only under saddle 5 months. I only bough...

Hayburner

I'm kind of venting here - but, I also am looking for suggestions. I cannot get my mare to walk more than a half of a 20 meter circle, before she either goes to trot or gives me the jiggy walk. She just wants to GO......She's not a nasty horse - but, she wants to make the decisions. I could write th...

Hayburner

Fingers crossed that someone else at your apartment area or near by hotel is going to WEG and you can catch a ride.

I never had much success with the MGT and OMG it stinks! Deworming will probably help - I'd give her tail a really good cleaning, condition the upper and under side of the dock. I used a human sea salt product to get the loose dander out, shampooed, conditioned and then would apply a non-silicone co...

Hayburner

ahhhh...so cute!

Hayburner

Thanks for sharing the pics of her. She's lovely, enjoy every minute with her !

Hayburner

I did bump him up to 2 Equioxx a day and I clipped him since it's so stinking hot. He seems a lot more comfortable and I seriously thought about cancelling this. He was walking better and seemed to have more zip to his step. Reality tells me if he needs 2 pain/inflammation killers a day to be comfor...

Hayburner

WE too are having a heat wave and high humidity. I won't ride if it's too hot for me - it's too hot for my horse. I also won't let my old guy go out in this weather - the barn owner wants to let him out at 3:00, gez that's the heat of the day! DUH...But, she let's her horses out at nite. My guy is t...

My older horse gets some knurly looking white scabby growths on the back of the pasterns too. Like your horse he has white hair in that area. They don't seem to bother him unless I do try to pick at them, so I don't do it. I will brush them up and down and some of it just comes off in my brush. Sinc...

Hayburner

Happy Anniversary and wishing many more years and joyful days with her!

Watching someone Ride down the aisles of a barn makes me crazy! Imho it's a bit dangerous especially if it's a concrete aisle.

Be Careful

Hayburner

Omg! Lol

Hayburner

Now that's a horse that really enjoys a shower! Too. Cute

Hayburner

Thank you all for your support. Yesterday I made the call to the crematory. I called my vet this morning, he will call me back tomorrow. I think I held off calling when I knew he would be out starting his rounds so I could avoid it for another day. I will also need to call his previous owner and let...

Hayburner

I got a text this morning saying that the quarter piece of apple that I leave for the staff to put all his meds in is a bit too large and he had a hard time chewing it. It's not his teeth, I just had them checked in the past couple of months. The last couple of days he's not finishing his grain and ...

Hayburner

Now that guy deserves a little tip - cookies, lunch, etc. for being so on the ball and caring for the horses.

Hayburner

Chisamba - Avoiding a crisis situation is what I am trying to avoid - I don't want him to be frantic/scared/hurt or stuck and have to wait for the vet to come. He's my first horse and definitely my heart horse - he deserves to pass with his dignity in tact. Ad for feeling sorry for him - I do feel b...

Hayburner

It's a decision I don't want to make. I have only seen one horse put down and it was heart wrenching to watch, but the horse definitely needed to rest and be at peace. The day before I watched him try to get up and just couldn't. I don't know what was worse watching him frantic and struggling until ...

Hayburner

Ok - so I'm back for more help in determining what the wise DDBB members view as a quality life for a horse. I'm very torn in my decision making - I know many of us believe in better a day too soon than a day too late. But, I also don't want to make a decision I'll regret or feel I made without weig...

Hayburner

Thanks for your response and suggestion. I remembered that I had a set of the Rein-Aids "somewhere", LOL. Found them last nite, going to try them today. Will give her a few rides to see if they make a difference. When I rode last nite, she wasn't as mouthy as usual, but my trainer had a ri...

Hayburner

What I have now is a loose ring with French link. It's a 5 and the tag also says 16 mm. I'm guessing that's the thickness. She is oh so fussy and mouthy always chomping on it. I would prefer not to have to tighten the flash to keep her from chomping. My other struggle is to get her to relax and stay...

Hayburner

Interested. Just need to heck what size I need.

If she's in a loose ring French link now, would the size change if I went to an egg butt?

He will be missed by so many! He had a talent with people and horses that many will never be able to match.

So precious !!

Check out Marta Renilla, she's in Texas and I see many PRE horses as wee as, other breeds on her Facebook page. She may be able to locate what your looking for or steer you to someone.

My sister just ordered one for my mom - I don't have all the details from her yet. She said it was $500 for the year. It is supposed to come late this week. It includes a lock box outside of your home for a key to get in with a code. I'll let you know the name etc when I see it, hopefully over the w...

I would so love to go to Epona ! After you posted, I checked out the site and my interest really spiked! Then I checked flights and it said 13 hours ! OMG - I can't imagine a trip taking that long.... Khall - did you stay a week? How long did it take you to get there? The site commented on the weath...

Hayburner

Good for you both in your retirement. Once you get things settled and your totally out of the picture, I think you will wonder why you guys didn't do it sooner! We also own a business and I've been pushing to sell and retire. I think my estranged husband is worried he won't have anything to do all d...

Hayburner

Heck, I've never heard it before...

Hayburner

Congrats on your new horse! Pics Please.... Would I buy another - I seriously doubt it. My old guy is 31 and my newish mare is 8. I bought her with the thought in mind that she is my last horse. I'm going to be 61 and having 2 horses that I board is hard when you are a hands on - go to the barn ever...

Hayburner

From what I recently heard/saw IRAP has changed - it is now I injection. Last summer when my mare had it done it was 5 or 6 injections. A girl at the barn just had it done and it's only one and I certainly helped her horse that has ringbone.

Hopefully, the cost has also come down.

Hayburner

That's great news and he's one lucky horse you were there to react to his choke.

Hayburner

Thanks for the responses - my vet came out and feels it's not as bad as I thought - but, with no heat, no swelling finding the exact lameness reason isn't simple. We casually talked QOL - depending on how well or how quick he recovers will determine what I need or don't need to do at this time. He's...

Hayburner

I'm not a vet - but using a hose to dislodge the blockage possibly could cause a problem with water getting into the lungs. My old guy started choking on his grain and his carrots. I started to add water to his grain and the problem went away, and no more carrots. I had the vet/dentist check his tee...

Hayburner

I think the time to make a very hard decision is close. My brain says - Quality of life is more important to our horses than just life. My heart doesn't always agree with my brain. I agree with better a day too soon than a day too late. What do you consider quality of life for your horse(s) ? When d...

Hayburner

YIPEEE !!!!

Have a great time.....

Hayburner

Great for the two of you!

Straightforward - I also got a really nice supply of LED's FREE from my power company. The bulbs in my walk in closet seem to burn out pretty quick (probably because I forget to turn them off) they are horrible to change. The fixture has a very heavy glass bowl and a heavy decorative metal piece tha...

They don't know how they got to NJ ????? LOL

We import products - looks like a few ticks hitched a ride on something to get to NJ !!! Won't be long this bugger will be thru the USA.....

Hayburner

Wow - Lucky, Lucky you....what a great learning experience this will be - wish I was closer!

Hayburner

My old retired guy frisks me after I give him one treat - he knows there are more somewhere on me...He's allowed since he's 31 and has earned the right to be that way. Chisamba - That reminds me that he use to lift his leg to beg for a treat. I always thought it was so cute now that he's older he do...

Hayburner

Does anyone here use it? I have a brand new large bag that I am not using - I'd be happy to send it to someone if they pay the freight charges.

It really did not do much for my mare who is just busy and sensitive by nature. I don't think any supplement will change this girl! LOL

Hayburner

I have been following some of her training blogs and videos. I really like her style and simplicity. She has very good information for some of us older riders. One thing that does bother me is that she uses food/treats in almost everything she teaches. One trainer I know does use sugar cubes before ...

Good for you Paula!

My niece is a huge believe in Weight Watchers.

Wow - surprised to hear so many toothless aged horses are out there. I guess I'm blessed - My 31 year old still has excellent teeth! I just had him checked and the vet said he has the teeth of a 20 year old...I had him checked since he had trouble chewing carrots and his pelleted grain. Not sure why...

Hayburner

Thanks for the links - your room came out very nice! I too love plantation shutters, I have café style ones in my kitchen, dining, laundry and master bath. They are super easy to clean! Your post has me now more inspired to get busy finding a wallpaper for my powder and laundry room. Everyone boo-ho...

Hayburner

Since I trying to built trust with my horse, I'm thinking we need to do some ground work since we haven't really done any.

I'm looking for suggestions on a good video(s) that an amateur can use.

Thanks

Hayburner

Since my old guy is on Triple Crown Light, it's a pelleted feed so he would leave the Prascend. I put it in a small piece of apple and he eats His dosage of 1 1/2 pills and also an Equioxx pill.

Hayburner

Rosie - Thanks so much for taking the time to look for it and for finding it!!!!
