Why don't you enlighten yourself and talk to a farrier? Show them the pictures and ask for his/her opinion? Like I did? You seem to have pink glasses (or black ones) on your head and no one is able to get through to your foggy mind.I'm really sorry for your inability to understand the science...

Holy smoke. Chocolate teapot, few things: Bare hoof growth: All barefoot horse will grow their front hoofs A LOT quicker than their hindhoofs. Any farrier will confirm that to you.I see it with my lot too.Front hoofs need trimming every 6 weeks, hind usually every 4 month. Hero: That leg is not...

I agree it can be the ONLY place. Thats why I say that in those cases a gently and dignified passing is the better choice than being left in a place where 50% of the animals taken in only come out in a black bag - or simply disappear.I have horses, dogs,cats and goats. And i would NEVER EVER...

well, from someone who has been there I can only advise you to donate to a charity you can actually visit without restrictions. AHAR is NOT a good place

Their own in-house meatman to be precise..her birthday wish my ***** :mad:

I think you need to take these as intended.Which means you have to make sure to avoid any factors WITHIN your control. Common sense me thinks.

I see. So she would probably be happy in a herd of horses being free. My lot comes and goes as they please.My land is connected with an open lane to my stables which are behind the house.If they want to come up,they come up.If they don't,they don't.They can be relied on to come up strictly on...

so you know what 100 million people want? >just saying<.I just don't agree with generalization. Honestly, if the gal was in my own country,i'd give her a go. What OP describes here is actually less dangerous behavior than one of the 2 chestnut girls displayed.

oh....what makes you think i am not aware...and why would you think that would change my stance?

You might be right with the Land. I re home to Germany and in one case to the Netherlands.IN all cases the new homes had one horse which was fine to ride for the family and didn't want to splash out on a second horse just for company.Those people adopted.

I've re homed a few in the past, but those 6 will always stay with me for reasons of personal attachments and they are a tight little community. Of course there are health issues, otherwise they wouldn't be un-ridable wouldn't they? I have a home check pending for outcome for one of the girls.I...

Look, I have a reason for asking. i currently care for 8 horses. 2 were surrendered to a rescue close to me for being dangerous. 2 chestnut mares. The rescue asked if I could try and help. Now I have a policy of letting a horse be a horse. I also have 6 very calm and collected horses. Within...

I have a very simple view on this: If you are not in a position to guarantee the 5 freedoms: FREEDOM FROM HUNGER AND THIRST. by ready access to fresh water and diet to maintain health and vigor. FREEDOM FROM DISCOMFORT. by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a...

I didn't understand it like that-my understanding was that mare will take off hot while being brought to the turn out. My question was is she dangerous while she is in the field?
