My old girl can be a ****** to load sometimes, sometimes she will walk straight on. If i know i have to take her somewhere i will spend a day just loading up with her to remind her what it is all about. I don't think she will ever be ab easy loader.
Knowing some stable management and knowing what is a healthy horse and signs of illness. It really bugs me when peope ask what a lump is on their horse's legs, learn the points of the horse would be good so you don't worry about nothing.
Also peope who think that they can leave their horse for...
It would really depend on why she has the changes going off and if it is still very mild so it wouldn't be unfair on her to breed from her. As you want the foal for yourself then i would say yes if she is upto it. Will you be happy with a horse that isn't really capable of doing the job you...
Don't suppose anyone will see this post as it is an old thread now but out of interest i tried the nail test on my girl just to see what happens with a mare that isn't in foal. I got some serious vibration going up the string and it moved away from her back and then started to go in a small arc...

I strayed very far from perfect. I wanted a gypsy cob, piebald filly, between the ages of 18 months to 4 years old to make 15hh(ish). I bought a grey IDxTB 17 month old colt that has made 16.2hh. The only bit i got right was his age!!
If the horse you have seen seems right for you then try her...
I am going on holiday in a couple of weeks and i really need to get some stuff sorted for my dog. He pulls when being walked and is currently on a halti, which has made him easier but i am looking at getting a Mikki anti-pull harness, the one in the link. Does anyone use this for there dog? Are...
