Hello,

I am a senior in high school, and I am putting the finishing touches on my college applications. I am applying to/have already applied to Wilkes University, NYU, The University of Scranton, King's College, Columbia College, U Penn,and Bucknell. I live in PA, and I am not sure on whether I want to go away or not, but either way, I would like a 3-4 hour traveling distance at most. Here is some information about me:

-Top 10% of class

-Treasurer of Class

-Treasurer of NHS

-AP Calculus

-AP English

-Advanced courses

-3.8+ GPA

-Obsessed with math

-A plethora of other extracurriculars.

Biggest downfall:

-Near 2000 SATs.

My question is this: Do you think I am setting my goals too high, and do you have any suggestions for universities for me?

Thank you :)

Hello,

I was wondering how much i should pay my next door neighbor to let my horse outside and bring her inside per month. She will be doing NOTHING else but that...no feeding,cleaning, etc. Just bringing her outside and taking her in.

Hello,

One of my little mare's hooves is starting to crack vertically. You can see a 'dent' (for lack of a better word) from the bottom to the top of the hoof. It is slowly starting to crack from the bottom. What can I do to fix this? Are there any products I can put on it (maybe a type of putty) to stop it/fix it/slow it down? Is this a job only for a farrier?

Thank you so much! I have never dealt with a cracked hoof!

I love math. LOVE. MATH. I want a career that focuses around math. I love equations. I am pretty good in all branches of math, but algebra and trig. have been my favorites. What career/majors do you recommend for me?

NOTE: I am NOT a chemistry person, at all. :)

I already have my hair cut like this, and it was styled to look like this by my hairdresser, but I cannot make it look like this at all.

I need a how to with either a blow-dryer or a curling iron. In simplest terms please and thank you :)

I have been a mysophobe since I was in the 4th grade. I had barely noticed that I had a fear to touch doors, drink from water fountains, use public restrooms, etc until it was pointed out to me. I had always assumed that most people were afraid of those things as well. As I progressed into high school, I became worse and worse. I have a portable hand sanitizer with me at all times, refuse to breath when someone else coughs/sneezes for 30 seconds, and am afraid to come in physical contact with someone who I do not know their routine hygiene standards. I am not to the point where I shut anyone out of my life who is already in it, but I do avoid many social activities like bowling and parties. I have been researching this more and more and have discovered many other people share my illness (if you will). I am concerned with the fact that I may come across as rude. However I truly do NOT want anyone to ever feel rejected or insulted by my behavior, but at the same time how do you deal with something that has become as routine as brushing your teeth every morning. The true question is, How do I handle this? When I come into contact with people who I do not know, and I HAVE to either shake their hand or hug them, I get chills and then immediately put on a dollop of hand sanitizer. I am concerned with this as being rude because I have been reading that many people believe mysophobic behaviors come across as rude. I would just like to know what your opinions are on this, and if you live with/ are a germaphobe, how do you handle it?

Thanks :D

ok that's all of them! Thank you sooo much to anyone who can help me! :D

Links of my mare Lemmi

I have been searching for the best shampoo, conditioner, and grooming product for my little mare. I have heard about rio vista shampoo that help enhances color and wasn't sure if you all would recommend it or not.

http://www.horse.com/Rio-Vista-Color-Enhancing-Sha...

that is a link to the rio vista shampoo collection and I was wondering, if this product is good, which kind i should get.

If you have any recommendations for a good shampoo, conditioner, or grooming products please let me know.

I would like a product that keeps her coat looking nice and naturally shiny.

:D Thanks!!

my mare has extreme difficulty being separated from her herd. How can i make her feel more comfortable being alone. I would like to be able to ride her without herd members, groom her without herd members, and be able to boost her confidence.

PS. She is the alpha mare of the herd.

My email is lizer1994@frontiernet.net please feel free to email me with additional questions.

**********************************************************************************There is a 24 year old Appaloosa mare that could use someone who wants to care for her. We are looking for ANYONE that would like to learn more about horses. We will help you learn how to halter, groom, tack, basic horse needs, feeding, and etc. Feel free to contact me.

My friend and I share a barn. There are 3 horses there and there is one horse that will be coming here soon. I own one horse while she owns the other 3. My point is, she doesn't have time to take care of the one. She is a 25 year old appaloosa mare. Rides western and needs some attention. We were wondering if there is anyone on this site who lives in PA that doesn't know a lot about owning their own horse who might want to learn. We are willing to teach you about how to handle horses correctly, groom them, feed them accordingly, ride, saddle, bridle, halter, etc.

My email is lizer1994@frontiernet.net if you would like to contact me.

Thanks :D

Ok I have been trying out several brands of fly spray but none seem affective enough. I have three questions and please try to answer them all.

1. Best tough, long lasting flyspray.

2. Best working flyspray with a great smell

3. Best overall flyspray

Thanks :)

I am planning on purchasing a fly sheet, winter blanket, and sheets for my new mare. The only problem is, is that she is 67". I have trouble finding her size in anything. I normally see 69" with the occasional 66". I have no clue if I should get her a 69" or 66". Also if anyone knows where I could get a 67" please tell me.

Thanks :)

Ok, so horseloverz.com is having a HUGE sale. I desperately need new riding boots and was wondering if these would be a good choice.

I ride western but do not show so the overall appearance doesn't matter. I trail ride all of the time so if anybody has any Perri's leather boots please tell me! Thanks!

I plan on getting a blanket for my mare. They are having a big sale at horse.com for them so I decided to order now. I measured her and she is 67". Most blankets come in either 69" or 66". So do you think it's better to go big or small? Here is the link it is a Saxon 1200 Denier Medium Wt Turnout Blanket if anybody has it.

My little 14hh mare gets about 1/2 cup of grain (cup as in 1/2 of a coffee can). When I first got her she was on sweet feed for the winter and several weeks ago I switched her to a low starch feed but still the same amount of it. She goes outside for about 3-10 hours (depending on the day) a day. I give her 2-4 flakes of hay and she for the most part will eat that up and will drink her water. Recently though she hasn't been eating all of her grain. When I let the horses in they all get straight to their grain, but not her. When I go down to the barn the next day she will have about 2-3 hand fulls of grain left in her bucket. I'm not sure if it's the fact that she doesn't like it or what? Thanks!

I live in PA and they are from about $400-$600. Just wondering.
