Horses

I took my horse to a show that laster 3 days long. He was in the stall much of his time simply because it was hot and some days i didnt show. I filled up his water bucket, gave extra hay and yet the next morning his waterbucket was shaped weird and there was poop in it. I was watching him and he tried to do it again. He sat on it pretty much. What should i do/

My riding instructor trains and sells horses for people. She got a horse that I really like, and she likes him a lot, too.
The problem is he is for sale, and too expensive for either of us to buy.
Is it possible to share ownership with another person? That way we could each pay 50%, and that is affordable.
I would probably save up to buy him completely. I just don't have enough money at the moment, and his owner wants him sold fast.

I know with some horse supplements, such as horseshoer's secret, it can take several months to take effect. Does anyone know how long it would take for SimpliFly with LarvaStop Feed-Thru Fly Control to take effect? Also, if I gave my gelding the feed thru fly contol, would I still need to fly spray him?

I use socks to help wipe any dirt left on before entering the arena. Wet wipes for manure marks etc.

Peppy Spray really puts an awesome sheen on the tail (unless your mule is allergic to it and spends the whole class itching his poor tail) did I say I have peppy spray can for sale now?? lol

2003 Titan GN 3horse combo. Steel

Good points-

gaveneal has not rusted yet.

As far as sturdyness, been a pretty decent trailer, haul about 5 thousand plus miles/yr with it.

Bad points-
windows leaked 2 years into owning it.

the door's hinge completely busted off and bent, leaving a huge area of welding work. *this year*

The wheel well lights go out about 2x/yr , they completely rusted out at the hookups and had to be reworked on.

Tell me about your trailers and good/bad experiences.

Ok its a slow night on here, lets get it rolling.

There appears to be 2 sides on here in reguards to this question.

I have always felt that respect comes from training and building a bond with your horse that way.

Then you have the other ones that believe you go out there with a bucket of treats, pet them, kiss them and build respect and trust that way.

How do you accomplish this and how many horses have you honestly owned (living breathing ones).

I've heard about people keeping miniature ponys in their house just like dogs... let them sleep on their bed etc. And I know they can be used for blind people instead of seeing eye dogs.... is it really a good idea to keep a miniature pony inside, even if it gets adequate time and exercise outdoors? If so, can they be potty trained like dogs so they don't mess in the house?
How pricey are they - how much money should be expected to be spent on food etc.?

I am considering wearing shorts because its the summer but I do not know if it will hurt if I wear shorts. I was told to wear jeans but the only type of jeans I have are Levis 501's and I wear my jeans kinda tight plus the denim on them are now quite soft because they are well worn. Should I go with shorts or Levis or just wear trackie bottoms?

I come on here to try to help people train their horse in a safe manner.
There are legitimate horse training questions, questions that are great opportunities for the riders to learn more.

Yet the answers are almost always the same -
"Get a Tie Down."
"Get a Martingale."

What the heck, guys?? There IS such a thing as learning to train your horse WITHOUT the use of harmful "gadgets"!! Good, classical, patient training and riding will do the best for your horse, not gadgets!!!

Is anyone else scared of these novice horse-people being given such incorrect answers?

Does anyone else think that a "tiedown" is harmful and dangerous to both horse and rider??

More importantly, in the few events that a tiedown SHOULD be used, does anyone else think it should be reserved for qualified trainers??

The board is moving a bit slow tonight so who has some handy tip or home remedy that they'd like to share, something that we can all benefit from and you've tried yourself. Is there something you can't live without that we should know about?
I have 2 of my own - blue or green dishwashing soap is great for stopping weanlings and yearlings chewing each other's tails, last ages and cheaper than sprays etc.
Melt mothballs in a pan and pour them warm into the sole of a horse that goes X country or anywhere there is heavy mud and dirt. It seals itself and prevents the shoes becoming packed.
Now your turn...................

Ok, I do not know a dang thing about Parelli and the more I hear from people the less I give credit to this method of training. Now, in a previous question the term "parelli stick" was used, a 2nd person is behind the horse with this device to assist in training. WHAT????

Now, I don't understand the Parelli thing as I have not ever looked into his methods but I've heard some ridiculous things and it would be a cold day in &^*( before I would have someone behind me giving queues with a stick as I'm on a green horse. This man is teaching newbies this kind of thing to train a horse???? Anyone else here think this is ridiculous? Anyone want to expand on this training method?

I have trouble putting polo wraps on my horse's legs. I always get confused about which way they go on and how to wrap them, even though my trainer has shown me once. I'm afraid I'll put them on wrong and hurt his legs.
We have a show saturday and I want to wrap his legs for trailering. Can someone help me out?

My horse has had a strange, circle shaped indent on her right shoulder since I got her about 6 months ago.

I havent seen it get larger, or really cause an issue. I figured it was an old injury.

About a week agoI noticed that in the same spot, but on the other shoulder a smaller circle indent like the other seems to be developing.

The vet came out to check her and didnt say anything about it.

I was just wondering if anyone has seen this before.
Is it just the shape of her muscle or do I need to get the vet back out.

I have a 5 year old quarter horse gelding he was only broke a year ago. Now he has never been perfect, but he was rideable and I even jumped him. I went a way for a week and I asked my instructor to have some experienced people ride him. Ever since I came back he has been crazy he bucks when I ask him to do anything more than walk and he is spooking at everything, litteraly everything. I have no idea what's going on. I think maybe someone might have messed with him while I was gone. The vet will be out Friday. Any ideas?

After reading and posting here on Yahoo, I think we need to have two separate catagories. One for real horse people who want to ask real questions and get good sound advice from knowledgeable horse people and one for all of the "My Friend Flicka" set. That way they can ask and tell each other about how horses are abused and trainers cheat at shows and because of it their horse got the gate, how all the halter horses that beat their horse is on steriods, how they are going to the Olympics in 2016 on their ponies, and can post endless questions about what color their horse is and how great the conformation is, what perfect riders they are, how they sit around every night on the porch and sing kumbya with their horses while they plan their next million dollar foal from the stallion (who was a rescue from the killer house that they helped close) down the street that they got a free breeding to. Cannot wait to see these answers.

ok, i put this question in the general sports section and it wasnt working so ill try it here. my horseback riding trainer is on a big "no stirrup" kick. i have been with 3 different trainers in the last year and they all have different ways on how to do no-stirrup work. should i just let my legs dangle down, or should i hold them as if i had stirrups? my trainer now says they should dangle down, i trust her judgement, she is a olympic level rider, but still. (just a FYI, i would like the answer to be directed toward a H/J rider). thanks!

I don't do alot of extra things for my horse in the way of suppliments for my horse. They are healthy and well taken care of but my question is this..I have a friend who is always adding things to her horses feed, giving injections for this or that, and then she gripes because her horse won't work for her. I think she is doing to much to him and he has all this crap in him and he doesn't know what to do. She trys all the new gimmicks to make your horse do this or that. I don't get it. Never have. I have noticed this alot in our profession and my friend is a very good horsewoman and I don't get how she doesn't see that all this crap is hurting her horse. I have tried to talk to her but she doesn't or won't hear me. Girls-guys any answers?
