Yes, it may seem hard to feel sorry for people not gettingĀ 20-30 k for their horses but consider where the reporter lives- the NY/NJ area where those prices...
Yeah - I know - I'm just getting really jaded. I know there are people losing their jobs who genuinely can't afford to look after their animals and it's a big...
Good point about the rescues. I'm far removed from any knowledge about those things. I have a personal rescue so to speak- a woman who works for the state...
Hi Leonor and Roxanne, Wouldn't the world be a better place if every horse owner took in one rescue case each; beit as a companion horse or one that can only...
Actually outside of the three Canadians I have here, I do have a mini who I got as a rescue of sorts. Not free but there was a huge dispersal some years back...

I may sound inhumane or cruel, but we have a wonderful horse and large animal rescue in our area. I used to trailer for them. They take llamas, as well as bot...
Pauline, you're not at all cruel to be suggesting euthanasia. There are definitely horses that will not find good homes... the thought of sending through the...
Hi guys, I have put myself on permanent restriction from going to the human society and have taken myself off the list to take in foster horses...they never...
I also do not think you are cruel Pauline. While I may be a rescuer at heart, I do not believe in keeping suffering creatures going (I also would have no...
You post reminded of a Clydesdale mare I once met..she had been bred to an Arab stallion and the baby boy's name was Bud Light. Both were lovely sweet horses....
I don't think you're cruel either Pauline. To me, part of responsible horse stewardship is to be able to make that decision that nobody ever wants to make when...
At 8:30 last night Du Hameau Dandy Melis was euthanized due to a torsion caused by colic. She colicked due to a lack of water caused by a failed heater in the...
Could anyone recommend a good detangler for manes and tails? I'm having a hard time finding something other than "Mane & Tail" which seems to make the hair...
Rio Vista is a terrific product. I've had to special order it from my local farm supply store as most places don't stock it. I think you may be able to ...

Hi Antje. Here's a product I want to try this summer. I would've tried it last summer, but wanted to use up what I had of another product. This "Premier...
Cowboy magic is great, but I have also used WD 40 and it works just as good. Baby oil will also work, but then it wants to pick up dirt and grime. Good luck,...
Hi There, I use cowboy magic detangler...don't know if it is available there. For the coat...If you start now and feed 1 oz of ground kelp a day, the coat...

I'm sorry for your loss too Katherine. We have water piped in to all the paddocks and keep the pipes above ground insulated and electric heater coils around...
We did a directional bore under the barn and trenched 4' down to provide water and electricity out to our paddocks where we installed Ritchie waterers. There...
I sounds to me that you have done everything you could to prevent this...even the best technology fails. I have only been able to buy heatted 16 gal tubs,...
Cowboy Magic!!! It is the best. Doesn't dry out like Show Sheen, and lasts for days after! It is a thick gel easy to work in. I used all summer, and loved...
I've asked my tack store to get me a product made by Eqyss called Survivor -- you just need a very little bit, and it works well. Here's the link to the...
