I really want to do liberty with my horse, and eventually do just liberty with a little bit of tack riding. For right now, I cannot work in full liberty. I'm getting riding help from the owner at the barn I board at and he wouldn't allow it. So what I plan to do as of now is ride three days with tack, and start working at liberty three days a week. So, how should I start working at liberty and what can I do?

I'm looking for some fun games/activities to do with your horse? That horses usually enjoy?

My horse is 13. He is a grumpy horse and doesn't like to work. He's pretty lazy as far as I'm concerned. He just doesn't like to be ridden! Plain and simple. So, I'm wondering if, in your opinion, there is any possible way that I will ever be able to gallop this horse around barrels or get him to enjoy work? I hate making him work, and I've been contemplating putting him into retirement, where he can eat grass and be a horse (which he most definitely loves to do). This way, I would know that he is happy. I would also get another horse that can go faster and do more. I really would love to experience this with my horse, but I'm just trying to decide if it's even possible for him to "enjoy" work and put a little speed on him. Opinions??

I'm going to give it until the end of the year. I plan to try a bunch of different things with him. (Like getting him to react more quickly off of pressure, and training barrels, and trail riding when it's dry enough, and doing some despooking, and just trying a bunch of new things in general) but my main goal is to get some light back in his eyes when I put that saddle on him.

My horse is so unhappy when it comes to working (being ridden)! I'm trying to figure out what he enjoys doing, so we can do it! What are some fun things (under saddle) to do with your horse?

Also, how to rev up a lazy and unhappy horse? I want to see if I get him to go faster, but only if he's enjoying it.

I've been talking to this guy for almost 2 months. And we both said we liked each other, but I'm starting to not like him anymore. It's not him, really. It's both him and me actually. He didn't do anything wrong, but I just don't feel anything anymore. Plus, I just have so many problems in my life right now. I'm not ready for a boyfriend. I thought I was, but I'm not. What should I Do???

Let's just put it out there: My horse hates work. He is grumpy in general, but he absolute hates any type of work. He always has and I'm coming to the realization that he always will. I don't feel right selling him to someone knowing that he will be unhappy working. So, my results are to either 1. Keep him or 2. Find a retirement home. I think option 2 is the best. He's unhappy and I'm becoming unhappy asking him to work/be ridden. I think my only reluctance is that no one is going to agree with me. ( I don't think) What would you do in this situation?

My best friend and I want to do a joined sweet 16, but I'm not so sure anymore. My parents are giving me a $500 budget, I don't know what her parents are giving her. But I'm coming to realize that even if she gets more of a budget, we still aren't going to have much for the plans we had in mind. We said we could each invite 50 people and they could bring a friend or date. If we rent a room for the night, it's going to be like $50 a person, and we can't afford that. I want a lot of people there, but I want a simple theme. She wants an extravagant theme, like "the movies" or something. Do you think this could work? Any ideas on how to combine our ideas and get the best party with a very small budget?

So, I have a horse that I pay for. (I'm 15) and my mom would love a horse, but she doesn't think she could afford it. I think she could! My dad doesn't really want a horse, but I think he figures they will have one some day. The only problem is the cost. So, they would pay for this new horse. We would probably get these two stalls with pasture space, and a tack room in the back. We would have access to some trails and an arena. Basically, what are some ways to save when owning a horse? I really want to surprise her with a horse for Christmas, so I'm looking at ways to save. Sometimes during school my dad will pick me up, so I plan to bring it up again when that happens. I want to be prepared with ways to save and only have to pay like $150 a month. Plus farrier and vet bills. I know it sounds crazy, but it's possible. I know it is. So, what are things I should look at and ways to save? I know food and stuff but just list them anyway.

So I heard that teaching a horse to engage his hindquarters will help take pressure off his front feet and apply it more to his back. And that this is good for horses with navicular issues in their front feet. Is this true? And how would you go about doing this? Any good websites or books on it? Specifically for navicular horses? I feel that some exercises/activities for horses may be too hard on a navicular horses feet. But I could be wrong. Any tips?

I really want a rabbit! My mom wouldn't mind, but my dad would. We have three small dogs right now, and a horse. I pay for the horse, so they don't pay any of that. My friend and I looked at supplies and monthly cost last night. It will be about $300 to buy one time stuff (cage, brushes, etc.) and $60 a month. She said it's never $60 a month, but I'm just going to go with $60 anyway. So, I was thinking of a deal I could make with my parents. And I decided the following:

I can get a bunny for Christmas if...

1. I get straight A's until Christmas break

2. I take care of my horse without complaining every single night

3.I keep my room clean and do all my other chores until Christmas

4. I pay for everything to get him ($300 for supplies, and the first month's stuff. So buying food and treats, etc the first time.)

Now, that's just to get the bunny. Then to keep the bunny (and we would either return it to previous owner, or if I'd had it for a year or so and I didn't keep up this next deal, my cousins would get him) I decided the following:

1. Straight A's ever quarter and semester

2. Taking care of my horse without complaint

3. Keep my room clean and do all chores

4. I have to make sure to take proper care of my bunny (i.e. cleaning his cage every week/litter box every night, cleaning water out every day, playing with him for at least 15 minutes every day) (I have been known not to properly care for small animals, but I want to redeem myself)

Any other tips for convincing them?

I have decided to keep my horse that has navicular, despite the limitations and cost. I can afford him and I love him too much to think about selling him. But, now I am just trying to figure out the best ways to make sure he is happy and comfortable! I am getting his stall fixed so that it will have a solid ground (instead of dirt and soil), mats, and plenty of shavings. I am making a plan with the owner so that he can be turned out whenever the ground is dry enough. I plan to hand graze him every day for at least 30 minutes, if weather permits. I am also going to ride him 2-3 times a week, if he isn't limping. I was reading about teaching horses to carry more weight on there back feet, so that the pain isn't as great. Does anyone know anything about that? And any other ways to help him stay happy and comfortable?

For a couple weeks now, I have been constantly thinking about a choice in my life: To sell or not to sell?

My horse has navicular. His medicine is really expensive, and he needs special shoes that are also really expensive. He's my first horse, and I love him death. I don't know where he would go. He can't be used for riding much. Yes, he can be ridden but not a lot.

I really want a horse that can do more. Even before he got navicular, I was thinking about buying a second horse next year that is willing to do more, and can do more. I wanted to do play days and such. With this new found issue, I won't be able to afford a second horse.

I just can't decide between keeping him or buying another one. I really want another horse so I can become a better rider and go faster and experience more, but the thought of selling my current horse... The two things that really keep my from selling him is 1. He's my first horse. And I LOVE HIM. 2. Who is going to buy him? Is he going to end up dog food or in a bad home? I know that it would be better for ME to sell him and get another horse.But what's best for him?Would it be better to just keep him, so I know he is being loved and getting the care he needs?Or would he better off somewhere else?Honestly, I think he would be better off with me, but who is more important?Him or Me?What would you do in this situation? And honestly think about how much you love your horse.And how hard it would be sell him, not knowing where he would end up?

I have come to the conclusion that as of August, I will not be able to afford my horse. If I can, it will be stretching myself way to thin. I don't want to risk him not getting what he needs because of not having enough money. I am looking into finding him a new home. I really don't want to sell him. I REALLY don't. But it seems that I have no option at this point. I thought of a retirement home, but most of them have a monthly fee which defeats the purpose. The others have a waiting list and the horse must be 20. Well, he is only 13. I also thought about donating him to a therapeutic riding center, but I doubt they will want him with navicular. That leaves me with plain, old selling him. But who is going to buy a horse that has navicular? He could be a companion horse, but he hates other horses. And who wants to pay money for medicine for a horse who just sits in the pasture? But if he was a companion horse, he wouldn't need as much medicine. I'm just trying to get some opinion here. Some other thoughts besides my own? My last option would be euthanizing him. But it seems stupid and selfish to end his life because I cannot afford him. But all I can think is, since no one wants to buy him. Or if someone does buy him, he will just end up at the slaughter house, which I DO NOT WANT. What would you do?

I'm trying to find the best feed for my horse,that isn't too costly.

needs/requirements/things to note:

-under $15 a bag (please)

-he's 13

-gelded

-very light riding (only 2-3 times a week, mostly walk/trot with some loping/cantering; occasional trail)

-lots of hand walking/trick training

-hand grazed for at least 30 minutes a day

-not turned out much.He can't be turned out with any amount of mud because of his shoes,allowed to "run" free every day while I clean his stall (in a huge arena)sometimes turned out in a decent sized pasture but not often enough

-receives at 2-3 flakes of hay every night,sometimes in the morning

So basically,I don't need any feed with a lot of fats for energy.Just a basic feed that isn't too basic (like All Stock).I used to have him on Country Acres ($13 a bag) but my vet recommended Purina Healthy Edge because it adds shine to their coat and helps with their feet ($18 a bag). But I haven't really seen any change and it's pricey compared to most other feeds that do that same thing for him.He has pretty bad feet.So anything that is supposed to help his feet,I'm all for,but I recently found out he has navicular so meds are expensive.And so are egg bar shoes.It's twice to shoe him now than it was before,and he needs to be done more often.So,I'm attempting to cut cost where I can without damaging his health.I get their feed is important,but I don't need anything super special.And I will pay more if I need to.But, I can always go back to Country Acres.

So my horse was diagnosed with a navicular issue on Friday. We didn't take x-rays so there is no way of knowing if it is the disease or syndrome (because apparently they are different)... I love this guy with all my heart and I don't want to sell him, but the more I think about it.. the better it sounds for the both of us. Before I found out about this, I wanted to buy a second horse because I feel like I want to go faster and do more than I think he is capable of. He is lesson horse, although I don't think he should be in daily rides. He should be someone's pet not a working horse! But he needs to be a little kid's pet, not someone who wants to go far. Now that I have found out about this disease/syndrome I just feel depressed. I realize it has only been three days, so I'm going to wait it out for awhile but I feel bad even thinking about riding him. What is the point of masking his comfortableness to just add to it? The only thing I would feel comfortable using him for his trick training and light bareback riding. But I can't do that for the next 10-15 years as I wait to afford a second horse. His medicine and new shoes are expensive.. But I'm also afraid that if I sell him, then he won't get proper care. I'm at a total loss of what to do. Please take this seriously and be nice. This is a really tough situation for me. I will be thinking about it all summer, and probably change my mind a million times. But what are your thoughts? What would you do? Thanks

My horse went lame a couple weeks ago, but he kept getting better so I delayed calling the vet out. I finally had her come out yesterday. She did nerve blocks and thinks it's navicular. I read about this in two different situations. The last one was actually this past week as I anticipated the vet appointment. I had an uneasy feeling that it was navicular. We didn't get x-rays because of how many horses in the past have the same type of reactions. We started him on a pill and Bute. Plus, he's getting egg bar shoes on sometime this week. We are going to keep a close eye on him and see if this helps reduce pain and help blood flow to his heels and navicular bone (or is it a muscle, I can't remember). So my question is, what can I do to help him and how am I supposed to live with this? Do I ride him? Or do I not? I don't know where to start.

So, last night I noticed my left breast started to hurt as I ate dinner with my parents. I didn't think much about it. When I woke up this morning, I started to look into it more and it is sore, even without touch. It's not like so painful I can't do anything, it's just a consistent annoying pain. I don't really want to tell my mom, but I probably will.. So, I looked at my breasts, and the left one (with the lump and pain) is a little red around the nipple. I'm a female, age 15. I don't have a child and I am a virgin. I'm thinking it's a cyst, abscess, or that fibro word (it's longish). Should I just wait a while and see what happens? I've been reading of many girls my age who wait a couple weeks, but it hurts even when I'm not touching it. What should I do? And what could it be?

What's a good supplement for healthy feet? (Like the underside, by the frog) My horse's feet crack easily but that's because they get so dry. I have been putting Vaseline by the coronet and then putting an oil/conditioner on the rest, but that's on the top. I don't know what to do with the underside. They are just cracking and tearing so easily (not to a bleeding point, and he can walk on them. They just look terrible and uncomfortable) My farrier just says it's because he had thrush and it needs to grow out healthy now, but all four look like that. Only one foot had thrush. The vet is coming out on Friday to look at them. And I have moved him to a new barn closer to where I work for the summer, and it's a different farrier there. I think the farrier comes out every Thursday, so this Thursday I will have him look at them just for an opinion. But anyway, what's a good supplement for the underside of horse feet? Not really for growth, but just for healthy feet I guess?
