What do you guys think of these colts? Pics on page 3,6,7,8 & 12

with a bit of riding time to build his muscles back up, feet trimmed, looks like you are good to go! With six months of riding time, he would be a nice riding horse. Oh the English may benefit him!

Now what is his name? AQHA papers?

The last thing one should do is put liniment underneath where the saddle goes. Even diluted.

He didn't reacted at all each time I didn't wash him so I guess the next step is trying warm water though we don't really have hot water in the stables, living in the middle of the desert. I'll see what I can do, though I don't feel that any muscle relaxants are necessary as I want to see if the warm water keeps him from hurting as he doesn't hurt when no water is used.
His name is Boggies Mission by Boggies Flashback (USA)/Boggies Flashy Jack/Hollywood Jac 86. Sire's dam line: Honey Pine Ann/Boggies Last/Great Pine/Elderberry Honey.
The colt is out of SL Missionimpossible/Joes Golden Mission (Ger)/ Joes Two Eyed Jack. Dam's dam line: Mary Doc Upstart/ Golden Nucket Bar/Doc O Diamond/89'er's Upstart.

Again, not a flattering pic but the girl taking them shook up every other photo so it's all I've got:

I can scarcely believe I am having to tell this to a professional trainer and horseman of 20 years (how many of them as a grownup, eh?)...

... but, the usual way to produce warm washwater for your horses is to leave it sit out in a bucket in the sun for a few hours or whatever it takes.

I am pretty sure that this works in deserts about as well as anywhere else :> Half-full dark buckets heat up way faster than full-full light-colored buckets.

You know, the first time I put cold water onto a particular young horse's back after a ride and he got hinky from it, would be the LAST time I did that, too. What is the point of doing it repeatedly? It is not rocket science to try to make the horse comfortable and happy, so he will be in a frame of mind to cooperate and learn.


Pat, who really *is* done with this now, not even going to read any more

If you google horse liniment used as a wash..
YOU will find a ton of good websites.. not fly by night.. shady types..
And you going to say THEY ARE ALL WRONG>>>>

Really?!@!!
I guess your the type who says all indoor toilets are a fad and still uses an outhouse.. or that every one is wrong but you...

here are two sites that are good and well known. Combined driving people use them as a back brace, and on legs...and a body wash...

Dani- If you know you are going to work him, try to leave a bucket of water out for a few hours it would at least get warmed up, especially in the desert.
I am from Nevada so know the desert well!!

How is the weather there this time of year? Hot or cold?

You've got to admit...you never had to:
1. Scrub the toilet before company came.
2. Clean up all the pee men leave behind by missing the target.
3. Backup into the house.
4. Plunger the outhouse.
5. Septic system to purge.

I ride at night cause I work all day so the bucket in the sun wouldn't work. I'm still in a shirt so it's not too cold though I thought that the cold water was a bad idea from the start. The reason I do it, is it's stable protocol here & I've already caught some flack for not doing it those two times. When a horse is finished riding, even if it's not sweating, you have to take it to the washbay, hose it, brush it, hose it again & tie it to dry.
The reason I'm a little, see what I can do, try it, is I plan to just quit washing him entirely though I want to see once what effect hot water has for interest sake.

Sounds like my own family LOL! Get the plunger ready!

ACTUALLY>>>> I grew up in a section of the mtns in CA, the sierra nevada's, a little town called greenville, my cousin and his dad still own the cabins I grew up in..
SO yes.. I have used an out house.
YES I scrub the toilet every week, I have my hubby, and a male roommate, I have had a few male roommates. I also have to inspect a bathroom every saturday night, and remind my friend who
hosts a weekly gathering of our friends, 80% of which are GUYS.. I have to tell him to clean the toilet and make sure he gets around the bottom.. due to dudes missing the toilet.
I have had a back up, a few times.. I lived in a lower level apartment and the fellow above us had his toilet overflow and it went through the floor.. in my bathroom.. pre weakened from his bathtub overflowing
previously!!
And I lived in an old victorian in a great little community that we loved, and the house had a TINY septic.. we had to have it serviced at least 2x a month, and have been at a boarding stable when they had to have the septic dug up and moved.
The worst thing I have had to do, I had two roommates in CA who decided they wanted to keep their money and only pay rent, no light or electric. We had candles, battery powered lanterns, propane powered camp stove.. the gas line had broken, and the plumbing had gone out due to roots in the pipes, we couldn't use the toilet OR drain water from the bathtub.. so we heated water, and then drained it via bucket. AND our toilet became a honey bucket.. carrying out a few pounds of human waste daily was NO FUN...luckily after 11 months they gave up, by that time I had moved out and had met my husband. They still had to manually drain the tub and carry their poop out.. but got their electric hooked back up.
I live in rural WI.. we have a lot of septic out here...
And you don't plunge an out house...its a hole in the ground....
That is like saying you need a few yards of flight line.. or you need air scrubber for the plane. OR you need some diesel oil for your vortex generator... (old military humor)

Now back to our previously scheduled topic...


Dani- does the facility have hot water any where? Or could you bring a bucket with a lid on it from where you work with hot water in it??
Just wondering.. if anything could help with the water issue... Also do the owners of the facility realize that washing a horse that often will remove the natural oils from the horses coat and skin??
Just thinking about that..
let us know!!
