I'm workin on makin a gift for my aunt for Christmas. My grandparents and I had a portrait of her mare commissioned and we're having it framed, but I have a friend who does calligraphy who was going to make a very neat and tidy version of this mare's pedigree to put below the actual portrait (the frame itself is made for one large display and a smaller display for a certificate or something).

Anyway, a while back my aunt had posted her mare's pedigree on allbreeds,...

Is it worth it?

feeds@yuku.com (barrelracer89) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 22:18:28 GMT

So, I'm in the market for a horse, which means I'm in the market for somewhere to board. I have found a few places in the $300-400 range, which is what I was expecting because the area where most of the boarding facilities are is a very nice one. However, I've found one that's got a paddock with an attached run-in that's only $125. Great! But, they don't have an arena. This doesn't sound like a huge deal breaker to me, especially if I go look at the facility and I...

Saddle shop for me?

feeds@yuku.com (Monoveros6) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 19:04:59 GMT

My head is about to explode! I hate saddle shopping, I have too many...and none fit my new mare! She's a 16.3 ish hh TB, with big shoulders and high withers.

What I really need is a good, used dressage saddle, 16.5-17 in seat, but what I'm looking at now are western saddles...I want to trail ride SO bad, and now have a boyfriend and an extra horse to do so with! (Of course, by the time we can, it'll be spring, but whatever.)

So...
Budget: about $400

A nice easy five miles. Mostly walking, some trotting, and three short canters. Looooots of work on walking through puddles. I think we're now fine with puddles. We'll see the next time we go out.

On our way

Its finally my turn to have hoof trouble. Joy. pic

feeds@yuku.com (daintyhyena) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:24:26 GMT

So just about a year ago my mare cut herself on something in the pasture on her coronet band on her left front. It was shallow, not a big deal. I cleaned it and put betadine on it and kept an eye on it and it healed. Well a couple months later I notice its grown into her hoof in the form of a crack.

Wonderful.

It has never proven to be a problem despite lots of hard riding, until now. Its week 6 on the last shod week of the year. Time for the farrier to come!

Why do bad things always happen all at once?

feeds@yuku.com (Bratpony) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:14:51 GMT

Ok, so most of you may at least dimly recall that I work at a small riding school that caters mostly for beginners and lessons for our liveries or those on nearby yards. I worked there during my holidays for free rides/extra cash and am happy to continue working on a Saturday now as I know the owner needs some exra help and my 'proper' jobs only fill up 4 days of the week anyway.

We're having a CRISIS. I kid you not. Like I said, it's a small place. We...

Moving pairs this morning

feeds@yuku.com (pdj47) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 16:12:41 GMT

We gathered some of Dennis's pairs this morning, the calves will be sorted off & sold Friday. They were in a half section of pasture & we gathered them & drove them around 5mi on country roads & the highway. Everybody knew what they were doing so it went great, even over an old wood bridge.

Guess what I have? An ENGLISH saddle! Tell me if its junk or not.

feeds@yuku.com (daintyhyena) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:58:40 GMT

And I am fairly certain it fits my horse! I dug it up in a pile of junk in the barn today. BO says she got it for free somewhere and that I am welcome to it (dunno if that means I have have it or borrow it, but it doesnt really matter)

I need to try it out tomorrow after I put some stirrups, leathers, and a girth on it and see how she feels under it.

Any body know somebody who knows somebody at Woodbine? (You can tell me if he's already been shipped, I can take it)

feeds@yuku.com (Artemis) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 15:25:26 GMT

There's a horse at Woodbine I'd like to find. His name is Major Gold, he's a seven year old bay gelding. I looked after him when he had his tieback surgery last year, and asked the trainer to let me know when he retired the horse. I lost contact with the trainer when I moved to Saskatchewan, just regained contact a few weeks ago and learned the horse had been given to another trainer. I believe his new trainer is Luke Carnegie. I'd still like to be contacted when he needs to...

Horse choked at barn today

feeds@yuku.com (StreetMutt) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 14:41:32 GMT

Went out to the barn to ride Moe, and I hear a gal say "Oh Lindsay is here!" Like, not in a bad or a good way, but like a relieved way.

I come around the corner to the wash rack and her horse is sitting there with saliva bubbling from his lips and dripping off of his nose. He'd cough every few minutes or so and mucus/saliva would come out is nose and mouth.

We called the vet who was attending to a possible EEE case (10th one so far in the last few months, eek) and...

Gifts for Vets

feeds@yuku.com (Monoveros6) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 12:54:22 GMT

Ok, not only did my vet call me when I forgot to keep him updated on my yearling's ouchy stifle, but I also got a call and a text from him last night.

Apparently, someone I sort of know at another barn had a horse colic, called my vet and mentioned my name, but forgot to leave his number, so my vet contacted me to see if I knew the problem/how to get a hold of him.

And, I was able to text him a picture of my yearling's cut that's worrying me - at no cost.
