I live in Hawaii and my mare (a TB cross) killed my confidence before I retired her. I ended up with a lovely hairy cob...yes, even here in Hawaii. They plan on taking over the world. This horse has done English and Western Dressage, has jumped, as done barrels, and goes hacking alone or with...

I also would report to the police. Additionally, if the cost is as cheap as the poster above stated, go for the claim to: with the idea of being as big a stressor to her as she was to you. I have had to deal with some weirdos, but not like that! Hope you and your horse enjoy your new place.

The horse I wanted to try was on the Big Island, so I had planned to visit my retired mare and try out two horses: one before seeing my mare and one after. I got a text just as I got buckled into my seat on the flight over. "So sorry but cannot show the horse today due to a family emergency."...

I just bought my second horse about 3 months ago. My mare killed my confidence before I retired her though, so I was looking for a horse that could give my confidence back but also be a fun, all around horse after that first major step was achieved. I finally found my guy...could not get him...

I have ridden TBs and TB crosses, Quarterhorses, Arabians, various sorts of warmbloods and Paints mostly, although now I own a Gypsy Vanner so will have many rides on the one representation of that breed, but also have ridden a Percheron, a Lusitano, aClydesdale cross (owned by my friend) and a...

hobo: I hope that you get to visit as often as you like! I would love to travel more myself. So much beauty in this world. DabDab: sadly, the horsey scene is shrinking. Our island is small, and therefore land is always in demand for building more and more million dollar homes for foreign...

I realized I never made an introduction post, so in case anyone cares, here goes: My name is Lee Ann, and I live on Oahu, and have done so since...a long time ago! My first horse, a lovely bay TB/QH cross mare was purchased in 2003. We had many ups and downs but in the past few years before...

Not sure if you are the only ones so lucky and/or plagued, hehe. BUT, they have infiltrated even as far as Hawaii! I bought one 2 months ago from the Big Island and he now lives on Oahu. There are some on the other islands but I think he is the only one on Oahu for the moment. They are going...

Fog and I are on the island of Oahu, although he spent several years on the Big Island. My area of Oahu has a LOT of rain, so my poor boy is adjusting to that. I have had him 2 months now. My mare is retired on a huge cattle ranch on the Big Island, and I really wish I could retire there...

My boy needs larger antlers lol

I agree about taking him to the vet asap. Poor little guy! I hope he he pulls through and makes you a great pet! The vet can advise you on what supplies etc you would need, but I think the replies have covered pretty much everything! Depending on his age he may need the milk replacement...

Lol I think he is seeing an imaginary jump! Maybe getting too bored with dressage. :-)

[/IMG] Here is my boy having some fun a few days ago. He wore himself out after showing off his skillz. Absolutely loving all the pics!

This times a million. Unsupervised kids on yards are pretty much what the majority on this thread have issues with. I had one 6 year old girl run up behind my mare while I was hand grazing her screaming at me not to let her eat grass. I had to get between mare's hind and child to tell her not...

Count me in with the non maternal crowd. The barn where my new boy is at has some younger kids but they come for their horse or lesson, and are not a bother at all, which is wonderful. The teens at this barn are all really nice. However, the first barn I was at with my old mare was also a...
