That's hilarious! I can just see him doing it! Our colts used to graze while lying down out in the pasture! It seems eating is their number one priority. We...
My mare,Skipper, will eat anywhere, anytime. Once when crossing a shallow river with grass growing several inches below the water, she entertained everyone by...
That IS funny! I can just picture that, Ken, having seen Beau also combine the odd inadvertent manoeuvre with an on-the-spot attempt at snacking. And Gladys...
That is a funny story Ken - this food thing is amazing isn't it. We started putting the boys out to grass this week - they start at 10 minutes a day and work...
We just got back in the house after a day of driving at Ft. Hunter. The grounds were lovely with the restored barns and the ground keeper's house. The mansion...
Had to laugh at Sharon's comment about her driving day: "All of us had black or black bay horses!" as that was the complete opposite of my weekend! I just...
Just as a follow-up to an earlier message I had posted. Our vet was here on Wednesday and vaccinated our horses for West Nile and Rhino, Influenza. She still...
Great story Ken. Our Canadiens are also governed by food and they will taste anything once. Stephen went over to the paddock gate and all three horses...
Yeah, I had an "opposite" weekend too. I went to a little event derby on Sunday with Heritage (dressage and a beginner novice cross country course.) There was...
I have had all shots given in the spring at the same time and had no adverse
reactions, however I was just speaking with my friend early this morning and
she...
My comments regarding vaccines and reactions....... We live in Northern California and our vet vaccinates as follows: Spring - Flu/Rhino, 3-way (East &West...

I am sure this topic as been discussed multiple times... I just got Kona's mane grown out, and now he is rubbing again. I have started my horses on Platinum...
Sharon and Outi, I want to thank you for your responses concerning Hercule's bolting away from the fenceline when a galloping horse inside the fence nears him....
Hi! My name is Cherie and I live in St Petersburg, Florida. 2 months ago I purchased a 4 year old Canadian gelding, Beckett's Creek Duc L'image. He is THE...
Hi Cherie, My Canadian is a tremendous water drinker as well - I was told when I purchased him that he would need a huge supply of water. He also likes to ...
I tend to agree with Sharon and Outi--not a problem with eyesight. The kinds of reactions you cite are quite normal from the standpoint of horse psychology. I...
Aha! Another Canadian that throws tantrums! I think that's what my Prince does when he has his 'kicky fits'. (video in files) Ken, I laughed so hard when I...
Does anyone vaccinate for strangles? We had an outbreak here in NS last summer. It's such a difficult thing to deal with - and so easy to catch. Anne Louise ...
Welcome to the Canadian Horse world, Cherie! Holy smokes that's a thirsty horse!!! I can't imagine a herd!? By contrast I think ours drink relatively little. I...
Hi Anne Louise, I checked with my vet clinic in Brandon, MB. They do have a vaccine but sell very little of it. It's administered intranasally via a long...
Thank you for the welcome! I am quite relieved after the vet check showed no problems with his kidneys (or possible Cushings disease). The barn manager is not...
Hi, Our Canadians drink about that much water too, at least twice as much as the other horses. They drink anything they can get their mouths on - water, juice,...
The Canadians I have met are enthusiastic drinkers and do seem to drink somewhat more, on average, than the other horses I am used to. But once in a while you...
As far as vaccines go, we are in the midst of giving everyone their 5 way shot plus WNV. The vet had mentioned a good idea (at least I thought) last time she...
... Hi Jann, Yes, this has been discussed by some who have horses with very dry skin. I'm not so sure it's a breed thing, because there are many horses with...
Wash him with Betadine shampoo all the way to the roots and then rinse until you're sure it's all out, then rinse 5 more minutes. Do this twice a month during...
I agree with the abundance of water required by Canadian Horses. I once had 3 pregnant mares in the same field together sharing a 100 gallon water trough....
Canadian Horses are indeed funny creatures!! I am not exactly sure how much water some of our Canadians drink..... Our almost three year old, Mick, often...
