    How many times should you see a horse before buying it?

    saw my Cob foal once and the filly I bought a bit later not even in the flesh...bought her from photos and a vid I had seen. Not the wisest thing to do, I know, but it worked for me (this time at least). Previous horses I bought I saw once mostly, tried them (if they were broken already) and...

    what do you think of his breeding??

    in what studbook is he registered? The bloodlines are Westphalian (except of Hohenstein) but he could also be registered in the Oldenburg studbook, depending on where his dam is registered.

    what do you think of his breeding??

    I bred Westphalians for a while and the bloodline of your yearling is marvellous, one of the best on the Westphalian dressage market these days. Congrats and loads of luck with your youngster (am a bit green with envy I must admit...can you upload a vid so that we can see him moving?)

    This photo makes my buttocks clench!!!

    wild horses rather avoid an obstacle...they are seldom forced to jump while race horses (no matter what race) don't really have a choice... but anyways, everyone is entitled to his or her own opinion, and I simply dislike races (believe me, I have got my reasons).

    Let's just ban cruelty of any kind and I am sure this world would be a better place - for human beings and also for animals

    This photo makes my buttocks clench!!!

    Pardubice should be banned cos it's not fair to let horses jump fences with ditches behind. The horses can't see how broad (or do you say deep?) the jumps are, how deep the ditches are and therefore they can't estimate how to jump. Far too many got hurt or died in the past. I don't think we need...

    Neutering an Alaskan Malamute

    I'd let him grow up. Had a Lab x once and he was neutered in the pound before we got him, he was 6 month old when he was neutered and never lost his puppy-ish behaviour :(
