Horses

Is there any common land in Scotland as there is in the New Forest?
I currently turn out a 'wild' pony in the Forest, I can do this due to having common right attatched to my property .
I am thinking of moving to Scotland in the future, and would love to beable to turn my pony out there...is this possible at all, or would I have to keep her in a field?

Without referring to the net or books (no cheating now) what are possible side effects of the following?

Corticosteroids
Steroid injections into joint bursa
Bute (oral or injected)
Penicillin
All antibiotics
Antihistamine
Aspirin

What will happen if you -
Inject intramuscular penicillin or vaccine into a blood vessel?
Inject into major nerve branches in the jugular groove?
Inject a drug into an artery?
Push the needle through the vein and inject IV drugs into the surrounding tissue?

What can happen when you give an IM injection into the gluteals?

How do you tell if you've inserted a needle into a vein or an artery?

What drugs most commonly cause vein irritation (thrombophlebitis)?

What happens if drugs or fluids administered via stomach tube go into the trachea?

What happens if a drug meant to be injected slowly is administered as a bolus (quickly)?

Is it because you see ppl using leverage bits that don't know what they are doing or their horses weren't properly trained for it? *I agree, have seen that myself*

I see alot of questions or answers involving, keeping them in a snaffle.

While I have no problems with that, my guys are shown and have to be in a bridle bit by the time they are 6. But my guys are trained to them by that time and I have no problems with leverage bits. Of course they aren't in spades etc, but I do think its awesome to see a well trained horse in a spade.

So why do some think leverage bits are bad?

What are your thoughts on leverage bits on 2-4 yr olds?

I don't go to leverage until they are ready but they usually have a good year or 2 in the snaffle.

Hi !
I would like to know if there are other people that like to ride horses with sneakers like Nike or Reeboks!
I like to ride horses with aerobic/fitness Nikes, mid or high top, made in nubuck/suede leather.
If you know any place on the web that have photos of people riding horses with sneakers, tell me, including to I share my photos!

Is there any particular reason why I can't check out your questions anymore? I like seeing what you have to say, and to my knowledge I haven't said anything to offend you. If I have, I'm very sorry.

For my other question, I recently bought a POA for my daughter, and he is mostly blind (but such a sweetheart!). I know that some Appys and POAs go blind as they get older, and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me more about it, and/or if anyone has had experience with this. Thanks!

plans for combatting buddy souredness.

I usually haul 3, cutting back to 2 shortly and you would think they were joined at the hip. I usually have it set up ahead of time to have stalls far apart so they are seperated and then they NEVER see each other during the show. One is a donk, the other a mule, so seperate classes.

What other tips do you have or do to help prevent that at shows?

What do you do and what decides what you do? Age of horse, trailer model, slant vs straight, single horse or multiple?

I'm on call and bored, waiting for patients, so be prepared for questions to flood lol.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever seen a Parelli trained horse ever in a leverage bit?

Or

Shown in high level shows and successfully won?

Not debating, just wondering.

So I have heard mixed answers to this and no I haven't called the vet to find out, what the real answer is so.....

How long would 2grams of bute on a 1100lb mule take effect where you get the upmost advantage of it. How long does it last too in a one time only dose?

My guys NEVER get sick nor do they EVER do anything to hurt themselves. But Stretch *my main man* is bucking again with his 5th saddle, vet checked and approved, so now I'm trying to see if its mental vs actual pain issues.

So i buted him at 300pm and rode him at 630-830pm to see. He is bucky at a lope only. He doesn't test out sore anywhere and the chiro isn't sure what to think of it either. I can hook this mule to cart and hes brilliant, you saddle him and you have a humongo jerk on your hands.

So tonight, no bucking, but I did pull out the crop too (he has a huge respect for it) and seemed to ease up more in his lopes and not so bunched up and high headed.

Was that enough time for the bute to work?

I'm an animal care student and I recently wrote to a local shire horse sanctuary asking for some work experience. The lady who rang we was lovely and I was really excited. Anyway, this morning I went along, really enthusiastic and dying o meet the horses. But the man who owns the place was a complete b*st*rd. At first I thought he was just a bit doddery or something but then I realised he was definatetly being rude, and not just that but a real bully. Another girl turned up who was new and he'd already mentioned he thought she took drugs- no evidence though, and he proceeded to point at her and make remarks right in front of her face. He said she had as much life in heras a dead duck. He shouted at you and criticised you when you didn't even do anything. He laughed at everything I said, and when he asked me about my course or posed a question and I answered he laughed at the reply and kept saying- 'what do you know about this/that...(implying I was stupid)' and he tutted and shouted at

I have a young filly and shes really sweet to me i call her she comes all that baby cute stuff she is really obedient, But there is one thing she doensnt like my brother or any other male for that fact. She was a freebee and wild as a march hare when i got her a year ago.
I am pretty much the only one that has handled her i am in a non horsey house hold. My brother and i were walking her and just all of the sudden she took out after him ears pinned teeth bared. Ever since that day she has been that way to him and every male. We had some freinds out to cut wood in the pasture and i had to catch her because she was running at them,kicking , and strikeing.
To my knowledge no one has done anything bad to her.
I was looking for some insite to this behavior. It hasnt been really a problem or anything like that because we know of this problem and manage it accordingly.
Does anyone know what may have caused this or is it just her quirk one of many !!!

In an attempt to regain some Christmas spirit around here, I thought it would be nice if we could all have a turn at saying something nice about somebody else on the board, is there somebody whose answers really hit the mark or perhaps someone that just cracks you up laughing and you want them to know or is there someone that is just wacky (but in a nice way)?
Here's my picks;
I like reading Conalovers answers - she's got a smart head on her shoulders for such a young one.
Debi - tons of common sense and very down to earth
PH - always makes me smirk especially when she rips me about my 80's lipstick (long story)
Mike and Kicking Bear - nice to get the male perspective on the chick board :-)
So who would you like to give a nod to and wish Merry Christmas?

So in an effort to put a bit more informative questions that the typical "is my horse pretty" ones that you se eon here I have decided to randomly ask things that when answered will be either fun tivia knowledge , actual knowledge to store in your memory to later help you or things that you can pass on to others, so what made Bright Zip go blind, how old was he and did it affect him in anyway? I know the answer to this been a Lyons fan for years... so please don't tell me to go look it up on google!!!

I love thoroughbreds as well as mustangs. but thoroughbreds are a better choice for me. Where should i get one? a cliaming race? how about a rescue? I want it to be sweet, and since i am only a intermidate rider, i don't want it to have to much problems to work with.
Maybe some small jumping ability.

I have some pet peeves when it comes to what certain items are called and wish people would refer to things correctly. For example, tie down surgery for a roarer is actually a Hobday, a surcingle goes over the saddle and girth as in polo or racing as a back up if the girth snaps whereas a roller is used when breaking or to keep old fashioned jute rugs in place. My biggest peeve is when people call those yellow, black and red striped rugs "Newmarket" blankets. They are used extensively in Newmarket but their correct name is a Whitney blanket because original ones are hand made in pure wool in the town of Whitney, Oxfordshire.
ps - don't stick them in the machine or they won't even fit a mini - been there, done that!
What terms or names do people use for items, tack or procedures that you wish to correct them on?
