Hi I think your off to a good start on introducing them. Now I have done this both ways. I have introduced the dominate first and the submissive animal...
Hi, thanks for your advice. We put all three together briefly that first day and I was really worried that someone would get cornered or something. ...
Hi, all, I have a high withered kinda pear shaped, long backed gelding (photo attached). The saddle I have is used and ill fitting. When I tighten the...
This is really good to know Kim. I'll keep this post for future reference as it looks like I'll be encountering abscesses again in the future. I'm sure I...
Lisa, my farrier was saying "shoes" when I bought my OTTB and again when I got my warmblood colt. Well, I said, I don't care to put ANY shoes onto the horses...

I am new to this and not sure if you received my last message regarding my pregnant rescue mare. Thanks Suzie [Non-text portions of this message have been...
Thanks! She hasn't lost muscle mass yet, and is only a little big wobbly on her legs when her head is down and stretched out (eatting on the ground) I'm hoping...
I rescued 3 horses earlier this year(June). 3 yr old Clyde cross stud, 13 -15 month old filly and her mom approx 7yr old paint mare. They were very thin with...
I would leave the baby with her for another month - maybe put another horse in with those two...and let them bond together. Then when you take the baby away...
i hope she hasn't got into any red maple. if she has eaten any, you need a vet. i say this because we had a heckuva scare with my big shagya gelding leo. he...
Has she been on any fescue? Fescue toxicity will cause mare to not bag up. Also will cause her to go overdue. Our mare foaled this summer and she did not wax...
For some reason, mares never seem to read that durn textbook! lol She may bag up just before foaling, all mares do not wax and drip. Or, like someone else...

I think you're right Michaela, Farriers are out to make money. I can't blame em because we all have to make a living but I just don't see how shoes would...
Definitely time to get rid of that saddle! Do you have anybody at your barn that can help you measure your horse for a saddle? You can look online for...
Hi Lisa and Michaela, Yeah I agree with so called "horse experts", at times they are right, at times they are sooooooo wrong, it's all getting a feel for your...
Hi there Laura, Oh how sad. I definitely agree with Connie, don't take the colt away... two losses would be too much for her. I agree with Ashley, too,...
Ya could always strap a bit of metal to their human feet Lisa and say "how does that feel????" hahahha I couldn't stop this idiot from pulling on a horses'...
Hi there, The thing I always judge a mare to foal by, is the dropping and relaxing of the rear end muscles. I have predicted they would foal that night,...
I am starting off with a new saddle pad. Not only is my old boy high withered, he's also swaybacked some and I think there's a gap from front to back of...
That's another good indicator of foaling. But I've seen mares that had EVERY sign go for 2 weeks like that and their owners were going nuts (understandably!...
I have had the same issues you do Stacey, and am relatively positive that a new pad will not help, especially with it popping up at the back and not staying in...
Another reply disappeared Kim! Crap!! I think it's my stupid phone. I hate, hate, hate checking mail from my cell. I'll try this again later from my laptop....
Just wanted to say thank you for all the responses to my post. We are still waiting....but I did go out and buy a home security system that came with 2 ...
Proper saddle fit is one of the most important things to consider when riding a horse. It CAN cause bad behaviours such as rearing and bucking if it pinches...
Thanks for the info, Renee. I went ahead and ordered a new saddle pad, its a Reinsman swayback contoured tacky too pad. He has a sway to his back on top...
I meant to ask, what type of saddle do you ride in? I had an Appendix QH with high withers. I went thru 4 different saddles before he was done changing, and...
