I am wondering whether or not to clip my very furry arab this winter.

He is turned out in a Weatherbeeta 'Landa' Combo Medium. On days reaching around 20 degrees Celsius, he starts to sweat under it. Yes, i arrange to get it taken off on warmer days, but Melbourne weather is unpredictable, and i cant just leave school to go put my horses rug back on :P

His previous owner had just a canvas rug on him during winter which seemed to suit him fine. Any opinions? All POLITE suggestions welcome.

My friends (leased) horse has this brand on it. We think she is either a quarter or stock crossed with a bit of thoroughbred.

How can i find this brand? Does anyone know anything about it?

What do you think of my horse. She's a 14hh Quarter Horse cross (we think) around 14 years old.

Just your honest opinion. No nasty comments please. Dont correct me on every single thing you think im doing wrong, because i already know. Take a look at the other ones in the album too.

Thanks. x

For Example:

Today, i was asking my horse to back up while i was on the ground standing infront of her, then i asked her to move forward and she kept walking until her face was pressed parallel into my chest and tummy, asking for a cuddle. She didnt move until i gave her one!

Horses can be so sweet sometimes...

these are 2 videos from a few months ago of me and my horse jumping. there are some others under my account, so you can see if ive improved at all...

tell me what you think.

thanks x

This is hard to explain, so dont get angry if you dont get it.

My best friend likes this guy who likes her back, but always pushes her away and hangs up on her and stuff.

She gets really cut when he does this and i never know what to say to comfort her. He really really likes her, but she doesnt want their relationship to go further than friends, because she thinks that if they break up, she might loose him as a friend which would crush her.

I dont want to see either of them unhappy as they are both my close friends, but i dont understand why he hangs up on her and stuff.

How hard is this to explain?

Is it because hes nervous or is he trying not to like her?

What can i say to her to make her feel better?

Ive known this guy for 4 years now. Its going to make me sound up myself, but hes always liked me.

He asked me out the other week and i said no, but it makes me feel guilty because i feel like im upsetting him heaps.

I dont like him at all in that way, just as friends. I dont want to lose him as a friend, but i just want him to back off.

How should i tell him that i dont want to go out with him like ever, and to move on without hurting his feelings?

My horse is called Remmy. She is a palomino Quarter Horse X. Around 14 years old and 14hh. She has a really sweet nature and is a gun at barrel racing and jumping.

Im not taking her to a show or anything, i just want to see what cool names people can come up with.

Thanks

The horse im leasing at the moment is a little sore around her hind quarters. I dont know whether its related, but when she canters or jumps, she rushes. It could be because shes in pain. She is a quarter horse X and around 14 years old. Shes been getting massages, but i want to know if theres anything i can do to help her in between then.
