We have big gnats that are burrowing themselves into my horses neck and chest... I don't think they're biting but they're making his skin all itchy and I can't get of them! I've tried antiseptic and furazone to help the skin but the gnats don't care...

They look like white balls that are all hanging onto the side of my glass tank...can I remove them and put them in another small glass so they ll live?

He doesn't like being alone but doesn't follow us around because his hips are bad so he'll lay on the floor in a room and while bark nonstop until someone comes to acknowledge him and pet him. Now when we try to ignore him, he won't stop barking... How do I fix this problem?

I gave him treats and some grain to see if he would eat that, and he did and he also drank some of his water, so I don't think it's colic. He hasn't touched his hay though and seems fine otherwise... Any ideas?

I can usually start fast walking or jogging and my horse (a gelding if that matters) will trot behind me, but yesterday he reared up at me from behind and kind of flung his head at me too. I did make him back up after that and kept him on a lead line for the rest of the time..what can i do to improve?

He needs to gain more muscle but I don't want to push him too hard because he's 16. Right now we only canter about 2 times around the ring (in an olympic size dressage arena)

I was so hungry today and I didn t want to pig out on bad food so I ate peaches all day...probably around 6 or 7 - is that really bad?

He's fine until I ask him to canter ... Then it goes downhill from there. He then bucks when I ask him to trot, bucks when I ask him to walk, and bucks even when I ask him to turn when he's standing in one spot! He just started this yesterday .. Tack hasn't been changed and he's worn the same saddle for months .. Why is he doing this?

(I personally love them)

Going counter-clockwise he is fine and stays on the rail and listens to my signals using mostly my reins. Going clockwise he constantly goes toward the middle. Here's the problem: he doesn't really understand listening to your leg and the only way I can get him to stay on the rail is if I switch from holding the reins english style to neck reining him... if I keep using the english way than I have to pull really hard and he doesn't even care! ... any advice for keeping him on the rail?

Last night i went crazy eating... I have a few granola bars, ice cream, a chocolate bar, 3 skinny cow chocolate bars, tons of salty crackers and a few bags of cookies :( I feel so awful! How much weight will I gain??

I don't hold the reins too tight - his new habit is to pull them so hard out of my hands that I fall forward...I've tried giving them a small tug when he does that to break his habit and I say "no" but he doesn't do anything differently. I do keep my hands tight around the reins too ?

I was thinking of doing $50 dollars for 15 shots? What do you charge? (I am doing horse photography btw)

How do I prepare the chicken? I want to put something on it so it has some taste but I don't have that much stuff in my kitchen :/

He used to be a driving horse so he's used to cars, but how do I get him used to all the people and the noises (firetrucks, guns, etc.)? He isn't really spooky but I wouldn't say he rarely spooks (he's somewhere in the middle) Thanks :)

I've been on a good diet for 2 weeks and losing weight and last night I lost control and pigged out. this morning said i gained 2 lbs - is that true? and will i have to lose that 2 lbs or will it go down again on its own?

I don't know what the cord is called, but it hooks up to the computer and the other end goes into the camera when I want to put my pics on the computer. The problem: the part that goes into the camera doesn't fit anymore? I know 100% it's the right cord...why won't it fit?

I have a nikon d5100 btw
