Re: How many blankets does one horse need?
I think at least two turnouts of what ever weights you use would be handy....I always find my mare's shoulders are wet inside the turnout...neck and mane get wet and it runs under the blanket...so when it is wet everyday or cold..it would be nice to have a dry one for the next turnout...it's hard to...

Re: The beginning of a new equine adventure !
I had my farrier cut off her chestnuts..those things were gynormous....but I had not noticed the ergots when he was here..and I've never had a horse with ergots that big, not even my old draft/appy cross....I never had to deal with them ...I guess there is always something to learn ...I did some rea...

Re: The beginning of a new equine adventure !
Since that mane is untouched....it will remain long...I have braiding elastics in every pocket....I braid for every ride to keep it out of my way....I was going to clip her fetlocks but she has huge ergots,which would look weird sticking out naked..lol ! She showed me some buck yesterday! So a new c...

4th lesson in the rain. There is lots and lots to work on, old habits to break, new ones to form, fitness to build...but this horse is making me so happy. She is spooky but easily persuaded and not without silliness..monsters in the corner of the ring every ride..but nothing is a big issue... very v...

Re: The beginning of a new equine adventure !
I notified all concerned..not the owner...that I could not deal with a horse this green, and all the sensible people...who got much of their horse sense from me(where did mine go?) told me to give her a chance..to leave her alone for a few days..she had rarely been off the property in her lifetime o...

The beginning of a new equine adventure !
I already posted this in the Seniors forum but thought I'd share it here too. My niece, a horsewoman herself, messaged me one day and told me that her coach had found a nice mare that was up for rehoming. I was not looking for a new horse, I'd faced the facts that it was over for me, I retired my Tb...

Re: 24/7 leg protection?
I wonder if this would keep the urine from sticking and irritating.It is a good product to shed moisture..I use it to prevent dew poisoning...aka scratches..sold at our local tack shop. It may allow you to just brush the legs off.
