I just bought a new horse but for some reason, am having a hard time finding tack that fits... What do you suggest? I really need some help here!

Do people look at you funny when you walk into a supermarket or any other public place with horse poo on your boots, mud smeared on your face, hay in your hair, a horse hair ring on your butt and a funny smell surounding you??

Have any of you had a chance to meet one of your favorite answerers on here in person? I would think the usuals or some of the other users that have been on here for a while and made friends with each other might have gotten a chance to meet one of your friends in real life.... It would be really neat, I think.

if so, were they what you imagined them to be looks wise? Did you get along? ........

Just curious... I have this listed in the horse section because I only visit here and had a strange, but good opertunity to meet someone in person that is a frequent answerer in this section... Hehehehe

I haven't blocked many people... But lately I've seen some morons come on here and belt out dumb and ignorant remarks. I've been blocking more and more people... My question is what do YOU think about the block users feature?? Helpful or what?

This is posted in the horse section because it's the only section I care to visit...

Thanks all!

I tried e-mailing you but I couldn't... For some odd reason? Anywho I guess i just have to get to you this way!! I need your # for tomorrow.... Thanks so much for showing me around your place, I apreciate it Zig!!! I want to move in tomorrow. lol I should probably stop here, this isn't even a question.

Just so I don't get in trouble....

What is your most memorable horse experience??

I was just browsing around the forum and reading some answers where people mentioned what they were paying for hay in their area and realized I'm paying waaayyy too much!! I live in south Florida and it's 17.95 per 60-80lb bale of T/A or alfalfa and 36 bucks for a 120lb bale of strait timothy. what are you guys paying?

I just moved my gelding to a new barn at the beginnng of the month and I've noticed that he's been starting to get finger-tip and larger sized bumps along both his topline and underside. They show up in random places each day, somedays they're larger, somedays there are less, etc. He's never had any reactions or known allergies previous to the move the full 6 years I've had him. I'm wondering if it may be some sort of mite, fly, or bug doing this, or possibly a new allergy as I know they can develope over time. I know the only way to know for sure is to have my vet come out and take a look, but she wont be able to makeit out until Friday and I wanted to see if anyone else has had experience with this or might have any idea what it could be....

I have a 10 year old Thoroughbred gelding, off the track, with an old bowed tendon. Today I was out cleaning his feet and when I was doing the opposite front from the bow, he went down to his knees. He's never done this before and I'm not sure if he simply got caught off balance or there is something more going on. After he went down I stepped away and then tried picking that foot up again and he was fine. What do you think it might be?

So as we know, basically every color is capable of having dapples, and it usually is a sign of a healthy coat and over all health of your horse... But why is it that it is most common in grey horses?

I just recently bought a new horse, a 5 year old paint mare. I would say I got her about 2 weeks ago. She was a bit on the chubby side when I got her, and I did change her feed, but gradually and she was first doing fine with it. I'm not sure what could be going on with her, I know it could possibly be the change in enviornment and stress, but she is losing a LOT of weight, more than should be normal, at least in my opinion. I changed to a 12% pellet, Nutrena Compete. I have two other horses, both throughbreds and they do very well weight wise on this feed. she is also on free choice pasture and gets 5lbs of t/a hay in the morning and 5lbs at night... I am just not sure what could be causing he to lose so much wieght so quickly, and I'm worried. I know most of your responses are going to be talk to your vet, but I have and he can't find a reason for it. I'm just wondering if any of you might have an idea of what it might be? Thanks a lot guys!

I, myself am a parelli student and have been for quite some time. I have graduated level 2 and am well into level 3, but it seems like a lot of people on here are very closed minded to the idea of Parelli, and Natural Horsemanship. I am very curious to know why these people have such a grudge against the Parelli program... I'm not sure if it's because they don't quite understand what it is, or can't get the results themselves because they haven't followed the program correctly or understand it, so they just give it up altogether and bad mouth it...If you have anything to say on this subject, I'm curious to hear about it.

I am really interested to learn as much as possible about natural foot care. Keeping your horse barefoot, but the natural way. I've read up a bit on it, but just what some of your opinions on whether you agree with it or not, and why. Thanks!

I'm looking to buy a Quarter horse or Paint in florida, perferably south florida. At least 14.3hh, and between 2-6 years old for trails, and western pleasure...I can't afford any more than $1500.00. I know this isn't really a great question to post here, but if any of you have anything please let me know, I'd really apreciate it. Thanks guys!
