I'm getting a horse next year

I currently go to an awesome riding school and we are looking at a 15yo dun gelding Qh named Will. I have met him and rode him and he's wonderful. I so hope he's still there for me when our place is finished up!

lovely

What a handsome guy!!

Yes, he's definitely a great dude. Sad to hear he actually wind sucks but that is controlled over a collar. He's really comfy and he is awesome with the farrier, he actually likes it somehow

Lol hey i wish i could get a peticure every 6 to 8 weeks too but my farrier takes all that money and my horses have pretty feet!!! Lol

Hi horse friends

I have an ex race horse who is 18 and I have had him for the past 11 years. In May this year he had tendon injury which was treated with box rest and bute. The box rest was a nightmare . Thankfully made a quick recovery about 6 weeks so not too bad as I thought this would be the end of his ridden life and would become a field ornament!!!! Vet also diagnosed arthritis which was not unexpected due to his age and the racing career he had ( he was broken at 2 ) finished when 7. I have him on the joint supplements etc. also I am doing magnet therapy boots everyday the bio flow ones and was hoping any of you may have tried this, your thoughts on them and if you feel they have worked? Many thanks for any comment or tips on them.

Ok so I have two mini mares both were exposed to stallion until oct 14 of last year and still can't tell if they are pregnant??? They are huge I will post some pics one appears to be possibly start but she was not the one seen being bred? They either need to drop a foal or go on a diet? I just don't know if it's fat or a baby? Was gonna do the blood test or wee foal but it's expensive and soo far along that I feel waiting best option now? Any ideas??

Do you feel any movement? Teets filling up? Have they come into season this year? Do you have a gelding that would flirt with them a little to see if them come into heat?

The best way to know for sure is to have a vet palp them. But, I understand expenses.

palpating not an option I wish... Cuz they are small none of vets here will do it... It's either 150 dollar blood test or an iffy 40 on a wee foal... I can't tell about movement? Maybe on my one mare? It's hard to say? I know with my big ones I never felt or saw a thing until like day or two before foaling when they were turning? Udders maybe starting on the one? I can't tell diff between starting to fill or fat? Stud was very small and he had one of the tiniest colts I have ever seen born this year? Here is a pic of the maybe udders?
