    Guess the Breed--Horse!

    Quote: guess it's a matter of technical usage vs. common usage. I trained with a very competitive trainer in SoCal and he always called the coldblood/hotblood crosses warmbloods. not the same as a specific warmblood breed, but nonetheless, warmbloods. pretty much heard the term useed that...

    Guess the Breed--Horse!

    Quote: A-T were often crossed with warmbloods, but they themselves are not warmbloods. Along with the Caspian Horse and Persian Horse, the A-T is believed to be one of the oldest pure breeds of horse still existing today and is even more ancient than the Arabian, based on DNA studies. A...

    horse people...gelding? UPDATE!AGAIN! 11/26 pics

    Quote: There is no guarantee of how long it will take - some colts won't change at all when gelded - as a very vague generality the younger they are, the sooner they will change and the more they will change. You should remember that new geldings are still fertile for a few weeks after...

    Dog Experts, What Would You do if...

    Thanks everyone. Do you folks feel that the variety of responses are due to the vagaries of trying to describe something in words? Do you feel that more posters would have been concerned about the dog if they had actually seen it, rather than just read a description? Or do you feel that the...

    pony blanket (?)

    She's getting old and when that happens often their coat does that. Rain proof sheet time. It will keep her coat from getting 'hard' like that. Schneider makes nice pony blankets in many hard to get sizes.

    Am I the only one who thinks my friend is crazy for this? *dog based*

    I'll bet there's a veterinarian who would put the dog down for them for less than eighty dollars. Or why not take the dog to the eighty dollar kill shelter? Eighty dollars is less than a lawsuit or a medical bill. Sutures, tetanus and rabies shots are expensive. My friend's kid got bit up...

    ...dogs. He told me that is the most dangerous kind of dog there is. He said that kind of behavior gives him the chills - even after many years of training guard and protection dogs. He said he rarely sees a dog like that, but when he does, all he wants to do is 'get the he** out of there'.

    Do you think Emo/Goth kids...

    For nonconformists they sure do conform a lot. Most of the goth/emo kids I've met have been pleasant and fine - some are rather smart kids and a lot of fun to talk to - very bright, perceptive of hypocrisy and very alert to issues and the world around them. Like all teenage trends (I followed...

    Quote: She yelled, 'go home, git!' and the dog did nothing. No change. She decided to stand still and do nothing. She did not want to provoke the dog. After some time she heard someone calling the dog. It did not respond or move. Finally the owner showed up and led the dog away...

    Actually, the 140 lbs is a mistake, a typo. She guessed the dog's weight at 180 lbs, which the AKC lists as a typical weight for an adult male of this breed. I made another mistake, though - the typical height is 32 inches at the withers - though the thick long coat makes them appear larger...

    "SHOOT HIM?" Remember, we're going to let everyone speak their mind without getting after them. The point that I'm trying to get to, is that there are many different responses to the exact same description, even among very experienced dog trainer/owners. In this particular case, the...

    I think the posting errors are done - I got a message a little bit ago that they were doing maintenance. I think they're done. Thanks, all, I hope others respond too.

    Dog Experts, What Would You do if...

    You're out on your farm, in a large field, alone, and you see an unfamiliar dog on your land. The dog does not wag its tail, put its head down, grin or smile, growl or put its hackles up. Its tail is in a half up half down position, motionless. It stands still, and then starts coming...

    Insulted

    Years ago I drove my Volkswagon into a repair place and asked them for the cost of fixing a problem with my steering. The guy told me I needed a whole new transmission and that it would cost several thousand dollars and he could have it done in two weeks. I said, 'I'll think about it'. He...

    You know you live on a farm when:

    The high point of the day is watching the horses get all excited before they get turned out on the grass.

    Two questions pertaining to dogs...

    Both male and female dogs will lay on their backs like that. As far as male dogs showing it, it's normal for that to happen. And if it helps you any, someone actually did a RESEARCH STUDY of this, YES, at a university, I believe, and found the average number of times the average male dog...

    Help, I ride crooked!

    The main thing is to just be aware of it and keep working on it. Most people are crooked on the horse in some way, and they do it for so long that being crooked starts to feel NORMAL. Once an instructor shows you how you're crooked and how to feel it, then you can just keep aware of it and...

    Now I remember why I have not had friends for a long time!!!!!!

    Quote: I would not from this decide not to do anything with anyone ever. One thing I learned many, many years ago, people mostly do their own thing and the best thing you can do is just not get worked up about it. I had one friend who was always forgetting or not showing up so I just stopped...
