Sounds like a crazy question but after reading an article by a researcher at the university of md on the topic of Equine Disposal and the problems out there.. I asked her about donating my old horses, immediately at their death (or their euthanasia) to local zoos for big cat purposes. has anyone done this? I heard its done in Texas at some Big Cat sanctuary. The ultimate recycling...

Horse Trailer Towing Company... has anyone ever used? Good stories? Bad Stories?

Hey all. Don't know how many folks in my region are interested in Draft under saddle classes but we are planning a Draft Horse Fun Show. We also want to encourage the many folks who do other farm type things with their draft horses but don't do the fancy In-Hand or Pulling with their drafts. So that being said what about these kinds of classes:

1. Equitation- under age 14

2. Equitation- over 14

3. Pleasure

4. Low Hunter -fences up to 2.0

5. Gamblers Choice

6. Intro Dressage Test (Walk Trot only)

Fun Classes like:

7. Costume

8. Egg/Spoon

9. Barrel weaving

10. Dollar Bareback

More?

What type of riding do you do with your draft horse?

I'm putting together a Draft horse Fun show with under saddle classes and need some suggestions about jump classes. (yes some people want a jump course!) Should I just offer very simple courses with 4-5 jumps, no in-and out difficulty? love to hear some thoughts.
