I own an ottb and he has been off the track for 9 months! when i tried him out he was so lazy i was pony kicking him, and even when i brought him home he was still very relaxed and so was I. The work I have been doing with him has been flexion and lifting through the back (carrying himself...

Sorry didn't read that quite right! Haha in hand, I would do things like backing away, and pivoting away so she would respect my space. She would chew and show signs of submission just from that! I also exposed her to a lot, like bags and tarps! This way she didn't have an excuse to be afraid.

My barn has a round pen which is like a circular pen where you can free lunge your horse! ( not sure if you've heard of it) I would work her in there getting her to change direction, and pace by stepping in front of her shoulder or towards her hip. In the wild horses will chase another...

You may not have it where you're located ! I thought Greenhawk was everywhere! Haha it is a big horse store!! And google mtg !

MTG !! You can buy it at Greenhawk! I have a thoroughbred with a pathetic tail and everyday I coat it with this stuff. I have seen a lot of improvement in the past month! It can also be used for manes, mud fever and basically anywhere with hair loss. It doesn't take long to see improvement if...

I had a horse who was just like this! She was also terrified of everything , I couldn't hack her, or bring her to shows. She was also only 5. What I found worked with her was round penning her, she learned to trust me from daily round pen sessions and started to learn that She was safe with me...

I have an Ottb that I have trouble keeping weight on, and energy off. I give him fat N fiber, he gets a scoop in the morning and a scoop at night with other feed of course. I find it works great, I have not had any problems with it and I know many other people who started using it on thin horses...

I brought my Ottb thoroughbred to a show Saturday. He has been off the track for 8-9 months now and I have only owned him for 6 months. The work I have been doing with him has been flexion and lifting through the back (carrying himself properly) he gets it really well at home throughout the walk...

I would really appreciate your advice on my horse with minor lymphangitis. He is still able to be ridden and jumped. Some people that don't know anything about lymphangitis and think the horse should not be ridden and shouldn't leave barn property. I don't agree, because I know of horses who...

He has had it for a 6 months now. He had the first two months with just lunging then the vet recommended for him to be back into normal EXcersize. He comes inside every night and is excersized once a day. When the vet first came out he was put on buet for a week then the vet said to take him off...
