I found a great deal on a horse that I really want to lease for july/august. It only $100 a month ($200 total) and my dad said i have to come up with half the cost im order to lease it. I can work off $40 by cleaning stalls. I have $12 in wallet (I recently spent all my money buying a saddle) but I am $48 short. Me and my friend have put up flyers for dog walking but have yet to get a response. How can I come up with $48, and fast!?

Hi all !

If you have noticed, Alabama is in severe drought. The farmers have fields of dust!

I've looked for good, clean, fertilized hay for over a month. My usual suppliers are getting less than half their normal cut - one cut so far ! They all have lists of 15 - 30 !

I've found bales of hay in AR, OK, TX etc, but the freight is about $1.50 to $2.00 a mile - one way.

Today, I called the Alabama Agriculture Drought Committee and left a message with a secretary. People are getting rid of their cattle if they have no other recourse.

There are groups of us going in together. We need burmuda, burmuda/orchard mix (maybe even some fescue in), timothy, timothy mix. We need at least 400 square bales (the normal small rectangle shaped bales). We could also use several round rolls to put in pasture rings.
{ I don't know how to measure the small square bales in tons. }

We're in trouble here, folks!
Can anyone suggest something in AL, TN, GA, KY, MS ?

I have worked with stallions for a number of years and I absolutely love them. I currently transported a colt (11mo) to a nearby stable, but have been hearing from a lot of people about how dangerous it is to have a stallion. I don't plan on breeding him, I plan on teaching him to dance (piaffe, etc.). He is Azteca. Anyways, any of you out there dealt with stallions without rediculously thinking they are crazy and dangerous? Any good experiences? The stallions I have worked with were so well trained that they could be placed next to a mare in heat and still not react. They all made excellent riding horses.

This past weekend my horse threw me for the second time.

The first time he got spooked by the tractor and his bucks weren't that bad. I had a good hold on him, but decided to jump off because he was really close to the low over hang of the barn.

But this time was different. I'm not even sure why he bucked. I had him at a trot and kicked him up to a lope and he broke out in bucks! He ran forward and stopped which made me go forward and then he bucked. I lost my left stirrup, causeing me to fall to the right, right next to the barbed wire fence. I tried to pull myself back up, but when I did, I fell. I barley missed the barbed wire.

My neck is pretty banged up, but other than that I'm ok.

My problem is that I have lost all my trust in him. I can't ride him anymore. I'm terrified of him now. I don't know if I should get help regaining trust in him or just get another horse. I'm really not sure.

I have a 4 year old gelding that I am working on teaching showmanship, but he has no idea how to respond to pressure. He was imprinted at birth, which makes him almost dead quiet and beyond easy to work with, but when he was imprinted I think they went overboard and made him completly desensitized to pressure and pain. I seriously think that someone could beat the crap out of my horse with a wooden board and he would just stand their and not even blink (of course I never would do this)

I am trying to teach my horse to pivot in showmanship (I know how to do this, have taught many horses showmanship before), but he will not move away from me in turning. I walk towards his shoulder and he stands, so I will put pressure on his shoulder until he moves, and he will just stand there not moving. Any ideas on how to get the idea through to my horse that pressure is something to move away from, not just ignore?

He isn't being at all stubborn, he just doesn't get it.

The wormers I have seen in the feed stores are for 1200lbs horses. So what if your horse is a lot larger then that? Thanks for your answers

I have a 24 year old morab and when I ride her she is always tripping. She has been shod lately and there is nothing health wise wrong with her. So I am starting to get worried, I realize that if the rider is not balanced the horse can trip, but according to our trainer we are balanced. She seems to do it more when we are going at a walk then when we are at any other speed. So I was wondering if it could be because she doesn't pay as much attention to where she is going at a walk?
Any help would be appreciated.

I just posted this then it was deleted? Anyway here it is again...

I asked for some tips on teaching my horses to lunge and I have tried some of them but they are still being ornrey. I use a lead line (don't have a round pen) and my husband walked them around me in a circle. I used a buggy whip behind them to motivate them but the second my husband lets go (they are fine with him there) they will both swing thier butts around and face me! They dont even care when I tap them with the whip, they ignore me! Big brats. =) One is a 10yr old TB (non ex-racer) and the other is an 11yr old Arabian.

Advice please? Some step by steps on how to train them or some good sites you know of? Thanks!

Why does it seem like kids who come from riding familys can't ride as well as those that dont come from riding families. NOW WHAT I MEAN is they can show well and all but at like this stable nova it seemed like many of the kids didnt know how to train a horse, they only knew how to ride one after it was broke, does anyone know why? mabey are the parents more protective?? (when I say kid I mean like teens to early twenties)

I currently am the sole proprietor of a small business dealing with rescueing and buying horses and then reselling them to good homes. It isn't very profitable since my main concern is getting the rescued horses back in good health which in some cases has been more than $3500/horse and then I sell it for $800 when it is ready to go to it's forever home.
I am wanting to expand on this business with some other more profitable ventures such as giving riding lessons, training horses for people, and anything else you might think of.
I am currently running the business from my mother's 80 acres while we work on getting my own land set up. My mom's place doesn't have everything either, but do you think it is best to start adding ventures to make money so that we can expand on our facilities, or wait and slowly save up to get the facilities before expanding on the services we offer. Her place is set up enough to make things work, but it isn't that flashy or fancy.

For my lessons now, I usually wear my hair in low pigtails,a basic braid, or a low pony tail under my helmet. I was just wondering if anybody knew any other cute ways to wear it. If it helps, my hair kind of looks like this only a little bit longer:

Also, this is my helmet:

*Please do not say it does not matter what my hair looks like. It is just for fun for my lessons. Thanks!*
