I started a page http://www.backyardherds.com/web/viewblog.php?id=858 However, it won't display when I see my forum posts. (My pages DO display on BYC, SS and TEG.) Is there something on Profile that I need to click on? :/

Have you seen this video? http://video.about.com/horses/Clean-and-Pick-a-Horse-Hoof.htm My vote is sitting on the fence. I don't know if it's a good idea, if I should pick out the LEFT hooves while standing on the RIGHT, or if somebody just thinks they are being clever. Also, I'm trying to...

Anybody seen/used this? http://gizmodo.com/5620035/air-bags-make-falling-off-a-horse-fun++or-at-least-less-deadly

I cut this to a new topic, after I realized that this was a really long response to the Parelli thread. Just watched a Clinton Anderson rerun--the one with one of the last performances with his mare Mindy, in Las Vegas--and my jaw dropped when one of audience members gave a slap on the wrist to...

HELP ME!!! My poor little 4 year old QH, "Buster". (All 1,000 15'3hh of him.) I "adopted" him at the end of March, and I just got his back left hoof mostly healed (from an absess that he had last February, before I brought him home--still there is a 1/2 inch chunk that needs to grow out.)...

When my gelding threw me in 2004, and people asked me what happened, I told them that he was "overfaced." I kept repeating the term, nobody questioned it, they just nodded with understanding. FINALLY, DH asked me, where in the heck did I come up with that word?!? I have read "overfaced" now...

When I first got horses (1985) I took a class at a community college, taught by my Vet (only equine.) Among things like the laundry list of EVERYTHING that can go wrong with your broodmare and foaling out, and correctly giving innoculations, he taught us how to correctly use quilts and polos to...

ME!!! LOVE IT!! :love I think it's because I waited until I was almost 30 to get my first horse. Then, we didn't buy one--we bought 6, and ALL of the tack that you need to teach lessons with them. I've never bought any expensive tack. I knew it was cheap--a LOT of leather from India--but it...

I posted this on another forum, and I really think I should share it here! :D PLEASE READ THIS. My Standardbred, "Slightly Confused," didn't work out. Here is the list on counts against him, in opposite order. 1) 04-11 DD rode him at a walk in our large turnout (250 ft. x 310 ft.) next to...

How many farriers have you had over the years? :/ Including my SD farrier, that I only see every 5 years or so, I have had 5 farriers over 25 years. (I was hijacking another thread, so I'm starting this one.) to quote myself :D In case you didn't read it, I NOW have an Amish farrier, that I...

Thought I'd share some pictures of my place and the two horses I know own, although I picking us horse #3 tomorrow. This is a good shot at my new fencing. I absolutely love it! It's even easy to slip through the openings and my 2 dogs have THAT down pat. Here's a view through two pine trees...

What's your stand on parasite resistance? How do you schedule routine worming? :caf

I was reading this post on BYC: Stolen Horse--- Media, Lawyers, Humane Society Won't Help This reminded me of the crazy stuff that's been happening in the last few years. Recently, we've all read about unwanted horses being dumped in strangers pastures. A few years back, it was horses being...

Thought I'd share. Besides tomatoes I've grown a lot of cockleburrs this season. I was spending time once a week removing them, and I didn't want to stress my 27 yr old with any more pain. While shopping I thought: Why not use vegetable oil? I knew that it wouldn't be toxic, it MIGHT help...

Did anybody else read "Practical Horseman" during the late 80's-early 90's? I WORE MY ISSUES OUT!!! There was this marvelous story about a QH filly that the cattle rancher had to wean but had no place to put her. So...he put her in with the cattle. He was kinda worried about her, being so...

WOW! Never got to open a forum before! :ep When I was a kid I had New Zealand Whites. Started with a pair (not on purpose) and had 2 litters, 2 successive years. Believe it or not, I sold them to the local Ben Franklin store, since they had a small pet department and the babies were weaned...

I suspect that there are a LOT of Backyard Chickens members, like me, who are ALSO on this forum, BUT Hi!, anyway :D I am 51 years old, I've had horses since 1985, I have retrained and taught lessons. I'll tell you--retraining for another sport and training a correct seat is a WHOLE 'NOTHER...

Pardon the double-posting--I already asked this to my buds on BYC.com/Other pets and livestock--but I need lots of opinions. BTW, It's nice to meet you--I thought this site was just for cattle owners--Silly me!! :lol: Here's my question (a little long): I have recently purchased a 3 yr. old...
