Thank you!!!

That's true, I would introduce him slowly and train him of course. Good thing is that it's a no kill shelter, so they really know the dogs there.

I never thought of asking the shelter staff lol, but I will do that, it's a great idea! Wow! Some pup ya got there!

Hey everyone! So we were visiting our local shelter the other day and they had around 15 dogs, mostly adult dogs, and they were big dogs too, lots of Pits. They were all in excellent condition and we could tell the people running the shelter really tried their best to take care of them. I have...

June is so beautiful and she sounds like an amazing little mare! Best of luck to you!!

Thank y'all so much for your input! I really do appreciate it! I think I will take a look at his other horses.

Yeah those are really good points. Looks like I may have to pass.

Yeah I may have to do that. I am not super experienced but I am not a beginner either, so somewhere in the middle lol. But I think a horse with a hoof problem might be too hard for someone like me. He would be my first horse and I don't think I can afford a pasture ornament right now.

I have not ridden him yet because we have been out of town, but he told us that his family has ridden him quite a bit. If I remember correctly he said that they never had any problems with his hoof while riding, so it may just be a thing that acts up every now and then.

I can't remember how old he said he was but he is around 10. I have looked on Craigslist, the good ones go so fast!

If this gelding becomes a really serious possibility I will definitely have a vet come take a look. Thank you!

I have been looking to buy a horse for a while now, and we found out some of our friends sell horses. He has this one gelding he is willing to sell to me for around $650 or trade. The gelding is beautiful, and he is the perfect height for me. All of their horses are very gentle and his sire is a...

Wow thanks so much to everyone for all this information and helpful tips!!! Unfortunately at the moment an acre and a half of land is all I have for the horse to graze on. I will hang hay nets in his/her stall and around the pasture for him to eat if the grass isn't enough. I found maintenance...

Hello everyone!! I am finally getting a horse for real soon! The house that we are buying has almost an acre and a half of land for the horse to graze on. I plan on using my horse as a pleasure riding horse and occasionally run a few barrels and small jumps now and then. When I go out riding it...

Hi everyone! We are going to start our small homestead soon. I am trying to convince my family that a pig would be a good idea lol. No we don't want to eat it, so I am looking for other things the pig can do. I know that they will eat every single scrap we have except for meat. We wanted to...
