Jamie the Horse Girl!!
I love horses!! I have been riding for over a year, I know it doesn't sound like much. I have learned a lot in this short time. I am just picking up Barrel Racing! Wish my luck!
What do you do when your horse freaks out in the trailer?
My paint mare will load in a trailer and come out like a little rock star, but the real problem is while she is in the trailer. She completely flips out even as your going down the road she is pawing and she will even try backing up and running through the trailer. I have tried her in stock straight loads, in slant loads. It is all the same. Any advice? I always give her hay, but she is just to freaked to care. I have put her by horses she knows everything I can think of and she is still flipping out inside the trailer. I am afraid she will hurt the trailer or herself. She has scratched her nose up pretty well and still continues to freak. Any advice would be very appreciated!
6 AnswersHorses10 years agoI can't figure out what type of bit this is or where to purchase one.?
I know this is some type of dressage bit. My friend just got a new horse and right now the person she got it from is letting her use this bit, but they can't find where to purchase one or even figure out what the bit is. Can you identify this or figure out where you can get a bit like this? This horse needs a softer bit like this and we can't find any bits that work for it yet.

1 AnswerHorses1 decade agoWhy does my horse make a click like noise when moving?
I just bought an 8 yr old horses that hasnt been ridden in 4 yrs so i have to start all over. I noticed when I lunge her and lead her at the trot mainly and sometimes at the lope (I cant tell much at the lope I am consentrating on her not running away with me lol so she could click then but not sure) I rarely hear it at the walk. I do hear it sometimes when leading at trot. I do not notice it while riding but i am very distracted training her. She is quite out of shape but loosing weight quite well and starting to gain muscle. I was researching and I found a few things saying it was just lack of muscle. She does not like to carry her head low unless shes walking riding, lunging, and leading if I trot her or lope her her head goes up. I have tried lunging with saddle and bridle tying the reins to the stirrups so they tug when she puts up her head and just making her lower her head when I ride her, but she just doesn't do it unless I'm constantly on her about it I read something about how the clicking it can make a difference how they carry there head whats causing it that's why I told you that. So I am just looking for answers. I just would really like to barrel race her but if this means arthritis or something that would be more then just gaining more muscle I will have to stick with trails and WP. I have been really working at her gaining muscles but it doesn't happen overnight. So IDK if the clicking will stop with time.
Thanks,
Me :D
7 AnswersHorses1 decade agoPlease help me figure out a color for my horse :D?
http://i1030.photobucket.com/albums/y367/horseypic...
That is a picture of my horse I need to figure out a good color for her tack. I am pretty much open to anything except pink. And if you can find an example of the color like a halter or something please add the link, because I know you may say lets use for example green is a good color, but green only gives me a general color there are so many shades of green if I can see and example I can easier narrow down my favorites.

5 AnswersHorses1 decade agoHow much should boarding cost?
Hey, I have a friends house I want to board my horse at I am wonder if there offer is reasonable. They are asking $75-100. My horse would be kept in a large pasture. They have 3 they rotate with. That's just for grazing and hay. I would be feeding my horse at least every other day by myself. I have to pay for the horses grain, no stalls, it has a lean to for protection from rain if it chooses to go under it. And water is available 24/7. They have no arenas just a mares pen and round pen I can use, and a field. They have some trails and a dirt road for trail rides, and I get my own tack spot. It's in the country in a small town (where I live also). Need any more info just ask and I will edit it to add ur information.
11 AnswersHorses1 decade agoHow good is this horses conformation? and how long tell the belly is gone? How much is she worth?
I am looking to get this horse, but not sure on its conformation. The seller says she has good speed I would be using her for barrels/gaming over all. I know shes on the chubby side, and with daily excursive and a balanced diet with supplements... How long do you think it will take for the belly to go bye bye?
Here is her info I would like you to know she is $600 I am wondering how much you would price her at in Minnesota if you would like to know the state. I know her owner, and I trust what she says.
13 yr old reg. appaloosa...her name is lake... (brs light my fire, registered name can find on the all breed pedigree) and about 15 hands, she is broke a little past green, but my friend breaks and trains horses for barrels and will do it for free so not worried bout that.
If you need any more info say so and I will try to add it on.

6 AnswersHorses1 decade agoHow much would fencing cost for a horse?
I want to get a horse, but I would have to put up fencing. I would like to fence in 3 acres with a fence line down the middle of it (so I can let the grass grow out on one side while horse is on other) I would just need posts and wire (would like 3 rows of wire on the posts) all barbless wire (no need to electrify it either) already have a gate so dont need to add that in. and i have people to help put it up. also is tape fencing cheaper and by how much, and with tape/wire fencing how far apart should i put the posts?
1 AnswerHorses1 decade agoI need help convincing my friend shes hurting her horse. (Tom thumb bit, and thin saddle blanket)?
My friend is using a Tom Thumb bit on her horse, and the horse has a soft mouth but she wont believe me. I have tried to tell her, she keeps complaining she throws her head to much when its always if her reins are to tight or shes pulling back on them. She has normal snaffle bits and hackamores but refuses to use them.
She is also using a Saddle Blanket that is made to put over a saddle pad, so it is not efficient enough to keep her horses back comfortable and prevent back issues that may come about someday. She has the correct pads for using so its not a money problem.
For both she says whats shes using has been working, so she doesn't see a harm in continuing the use. Me, and my other horse friends that know her have been trying to convince her, but she just wont budge. If you can find website links that tell you about how you need to use this stuff if your having these issues or to prevent future issues that would be great. I am going to send her an email with what you guys say to hopefully save her horse from pain and discomfort.
:) Thanks (:
6 AnswersHorses1 decade agoI need help finding more info on my mare.?

Please post a link to any pedigrees with her you can find. I would also like to know if her blood lines are considered good.

2 AnswersHorse Racing1 decade agoWhere can I find cheap neon saddle blankets that are thin?
I need to find thin saddle blankets in neon green and neon orange. Price needs to be reasonable. Online stores are nice. I have thicker blankets for under it. I am taking up barrel racing, and not able to afford $100 blanket, so I found it way more economical to take the ones I have that work great and make em look good with a thin blanket. That way I can change colors. Me and my friend are doing this together so we need to be able to switch are colors easily. So we can match are horses we choose to use.
