I was wondering if my worming schedual is okay! :D Any advice would be appreciated

Febuary: Pyrantle Paomate

April: Ivermectin

June: Oxibendazole

August: Pyrantle Paomate

October: Ivermectin

December: Fendabenzole

(Going on into the next year)

Febuary:Pyrantle Paomate

April: Ivermectin

If you haven't noticed I switch between Oxibendazole, Fendabendazole, and Anthelcide :) Is this a good worming schedual?

I have a 21 year old AQHA Gelding that is just a little dehydrated, what confuses me is that he has a constant supply of water, a bucket in his stall and a tub of water in his pasture (which he can come an go freely) i wet his feed down to where its almost a soup and he drinks/eats all of it... it is summer so that is probably part of the dehydration but how can i fix it and why do you think he is dehydrated? Thanks :)

Okay well first off just going to jump right in, the guy i like is in LA, his name is Joey, and he is down-right adorable... the three problems are 1. we are 9 years apart! 2. he is in LA when im down towards NC 3. I probably won't ever meet him :( I know your going to be like "Oh my god, if you haven't met him how do you like him???" Well I don't freaking know, all i know is i do, he has the best personality ever, cutest green eyes, and seems really sweet and outgoing, i remember one time i had a dream of him and when i woke up i was just all bubbly and giggly. I don't know why but i like him, like REALLY like him...any ideas on how to maybe get closer with him? I'm under 18 so i can't move to LA :/

I have a 20 year old AQHA, he is in good shape and is exercised about 3 times a week. The problem is, I can't get him to gain weight! On the henneke scale he may be 5 1/2... not really sure how to judge that his ribs are showing but he looks good everywhere else. He gets hay am/pm and grass (like we take him out of his pasture to more grass, grass is always greener on the other side!) 3 days a week. He is on the feed Triple Crown Complete with chopped timothy hay and we are thinking of starting him on a weight gain supplement. (The vet is coming out soon to check his teeth as i know his teeth are a possibility) Is there anything you guys would recommend for weight gain or change to help him gain? Thanks alot :) also would switching to alpha alpha hay benefit over coastal hay?

My ears have been like this for about 6 months to a year and its REALLY annoying we have tried peroxide in my ear, green alchohol, and warm water but NOTHING works! any tips?

Now before everyone complains about me calling my horse crooked, he IS crooked, not lame, not unsound, just plain crooked :)

The 'crooked' horse is Clarky, he is a 14.3 TBxQH

under saddle he has the absolute worst canter because he constantly does that 4 beat canter and its really choppy and you can't get him to do a halfway decent 4 beat unless you soften his mouth and get his head down a little. Now to the question part. I was riding bareback on him the other day and was scared to canter as i knew it was choppy, but i got up my bravery and did it and it was SO comfortable, and I had him in a *halter 'bridle' so i couldn't get his head down. So here we were cantering around with his head in the air with a comfy gait, my question is why is he like this bareback but not under saddle?

*halter bridle meaning a halter with a leadline tied to the sides of the noseband... :)

Thanks alot guys :D

Ok so I am an advanced rider and already teach beginners at my trainers barn and i am 13

My trainer is moving soon and she is giving me her old horse (Not old old but like he is 20)

Could I start a beginner lesson program? maybe $25 for lessons and the first one free?

What do you guys think?

When I lunge my horse he doesn't respect the lunge whip. I cannot get him to move off of it, even with my voice he still won't listen do you have ideas on how i can fix this? I can barely get him to trot on the lunge.

I have a horse that is a 20 year old AQHA gelding, he hasn't been jumped regularly in 6 months to a year and is worked 3-4 times a week on the flat (including Saturday and Sunday in the week) before i started jumping my trainers horse (who is soon to be moving) we were jumping about 2 ft. Jazzie does not have any arthritis/ any other issues with his legs, would it be okay to start working him slowly in jumping? Thank you

Please does anyone have an idea

any recipes?

I hope it snows it would be fun and i have always wanted to ride a horse in the snow it would awesome if it did does anyone know if it will?

First off I ride 4 times a week for year and 1/2 and i know most basic stuff like how to clean a horses sheath and how to treat rain rot and minor swelling in legs. I have the basic things needed like buckets, blankets and halters but are there any specific things i need? thank you :)

Is half an acre enough for a 20 year old easy keeper quarter horse with hay available all year? there is plenty of shade and when we need the pasture to grow out we will keep him at a friends pasture temporarily. please answer asap thanks :D

My 20 year old Quarter Horse gelding has bad rain rot. To treat it I have been scratching it off and scrubbing it with betadine scrub and sometimes I put swat on it after I spray him off, he has a little near his withers, ALOT on his hindquarters (near the tail as well but mostly higher up) he has it really bad on his hind legs and its starting to come on his front legs.

What can I do to stop this? I currently soak my brushes in clorox (or bleach) every week to kill the fungus and then wash them off with normal water after.

Is there anything I can buy to help it? please respond ASAP I am worried for him, and I feel really bad about it.

Please help i can't find a good horse

i can get on fine with a mounting block but when i try to get on without one he tries to come around and bite me what do i do to correct this?

alright i have looked and looked and LOOKED for races of Henry (now Indigo) and i already saw 1 website but i have to pay and my parents say i can't so anything on youtube or vimeo or whatever just please help me... thank you :)

how to get it out besides cutting it? its only a section of the tail not the whole thing

I have looked every where for a race with him he is a tb gelding 6 years old son of cherokee run i already know his pedigree (i found it on thoroughbredpedigree.com) but i can't find ANY races if you guys could help me that would be great. thanks
