Our last retired mare passed away a couple of weeks ago. No idea what was wrong with her except that it wasn't colic. She just basically laid down in the field and wouldn't get up again. We called 5 different vets and no one could come right away. We were also expecting a hellacious storm with...

When someone says I will NOT be ignored.... 😂

Posting here... When it rains, it pours... I lost one of our horses at our farm last week, just a few days before Christmas. Today, we had another horse come down sick. She stays at a training barn where my daughter works part time. They thought she was colicking. She wasn't responding to...

I don't think I'd feel comfortable putting a beginner child on a horse over 16 hh, no matter how gentle the horse may be. One of the lessons anyone must learn is how to fall safely because it WILL happen eventually. That's a long way to the ground on a big horse. All my kids started on hunter...

No, she just does hunter jumper but hoping to put him in Beginner Novice in the fall for his first eventing show. We've had him about a year now. Taking his training slow to build a solid foundation and it's paying out. He's won Champion at every HJ show they've attended so far this year. 😊 I...

He's 4 yrs old. 😊 And still growing...

Sharing a few pictures from DD's schooling this morning with the baby boy. He's really filling out! He's like 17.2 hh already! 😍

I don't even want to recall how many wrecked fly sheets, lost/pulled shoes (from stomping, or vet supplies/visits I've paid for because mine run through the trees (or fence) trying to get bugs off or just get in a good scratch. 🙄

Most thoroughbreds are just flat out NUTTY... I have 4 of them currently and had numerous others in the past. I've also owned QH, Paints, Arabians (also nutty), warmbloods, and ponies. QH and Paints were always the calmest and most laid back. Ponies were the easiest keepers, followed by QH and...

My personal opinion depends on your knowledge and experience... Lol. I've never owned cows so when I watch people dealing with bloat, protracted uterus, and a gazillion other things that can go wrong with cows, I'm terrified and intimidated... 😂 My friends who own cows and don't know squat about...

Baby boy had this first show this weekend. Swept the first division with first place across the board. 😊

Well you got one part right! All of mine have been rolling in the mud and leaves after I took their sheets off so they are FILTHY! 😂

These 2 dingle berries have decided 60 degrees is the perfect weather for swimming.... 🙄

Yeah, my daughter trains and sells OTTBs. Her and her business partner get a minimum of $5k per horse. Most are $10k+. For an OTTB with 1-2 months of training. Crazy. I know English riding and Eventing are past times of many wealthy people but with the economy in the tank, I can't fathom how...

Yeah... I envy your access to phenomenal shows and trainers and clinics but I am unbelievably grateful we aren't cursed with your cost to play.... The east coast definitely makes me feel like Oliver Twist.... 😂

Mine was $100/horse plus $50 travel fee. That also includes sedation... Emmy (Paint) and Dapples (thoroughbred) are old ladies. They needed it the most. We normally do them yearly but Covid messed up the schedule. Dapples had a base fracture of her back molar but luckily nothing loose or...

Everything getting stupid expensive....as if horses weren't ALREADY expensive enough! I got my 3 mares' teeth floated today. A gut punch at $350. :eek:

She's doing well... I was really worried this summer that we'd have to put her down. I had her on stall rest for 2 weeks and she only got worse. I went ahead and let her out and she improved immediately. Go figure.... 🙄 Although both my daughters have ridden and shown her in Hunter Jumper shows...

My oldest son is a year younger than his sister. His whole life was in the shadow of her and her horses... At least that's the way he sees it... (We supported his love for music but he conveniently forgets it). Anyway his only daughter, my granddaughter, is 3 yrs old. We discovered she LOVES...

So do I.... 😂
