Hi everyone, I bought a beautiful and very comfortable Trailmaster sadle for my new mare thinking a med. tree would fit, well it dosen't!!! I'm crushed... we...
We too have had the ongoing saga of too small of browbands. Most of our horses need one that is a minimum of 16" long. Rather than buying a new one and...
I had the pleasure of staying with Laurie and Bob last week end and of course had to take time in the morning to see all the horses. Unfortunately my horse...
Thanks Donna, It was great seeing you. I wish it was a longer visit. I would have loved to have a couple of horses go to your place because I know you would...
The stretch job didn't do it for mine but maybe because it was double and not single leather. It was worth the try. I finally broke down and bough at 17...
Hello, Last night I received a call from a woman about a mare for sale. The woman who contacted me is a riding instructor and has seen this mare quite a bit....
Hi Ruthanne: I saw this mare years ago.She was a lovely mare back then. Her sire is Bayard and the dam was Voligny, (sired by Wilfrid out of Urfa, making her a...
Sounds like a great mare! Did I miss this discussion before or and are there other Canadians who hate ring work? I thought it was just my mare. I've been...
My gelding hates ring work too. I didn't realise it until I lent him for a jumping lesson with my coach. HOLY COW, who knew he loves to jump! So now he does...
Hello I agree, this is a lovely mare. I had the chance to ride her two weekends ago. She had had the winter off and had only been ridden once before I got on...
good to know. I was able to find a 17 inch one minus bridle so that works for now but given the mare is going on 5 she may need the 18 inch before she's...
Not only do we have Canadian horses but we also have sheep and cattle. While I have had cattle on and off for years, this is our first adventure into sheep....
We don't use the Furminator on the dogs (double-coated Keeshonden and Poms), but never thought of one for the horses!! Bet the hair comes out like crazy. ...
Oh-Congrats on the lambs! They are such sweet lil newborn things! I'd love to have sheep, (wool for knitting, and spinning!) but my husband seems to think the...
I love sheep - we just have ten of them. We had four lambs last year- then I had my rams neutered. I couldn't imagine hurting anything as innocent as a lamb or...
Hi everyone, after reading the posts yesterday I went out and bought a Furminator. Laurie was right it was expensive but wow dose it work. Last night I used...
Although (thank heavens!) we don't have to think about snow for a while, I have been wondering if there is such a thing as a horse-drawn snow plough? Google...
I once saw a picture of a home-made snowplough. It looked extremely simple as it was just a "V" shape that was hooked up to a whipple tree and pulled along....
I've seen the local Amish using something to clear their driveways. I'm not sure how it works. Jackie ... From: bronhook To: CanadianHorse@yahoogroups.com ...
Not sure I'ld want to subject the horses to that especially if they aren't used to that kind of pulling if they were pulling logs all day - fine but otherwise...
Hi: Well, foaling season started on low note for us this year, losing a foal from Dixie and Wilfrid. We think the wolves or coyotes got the foal. They are...
So sorry to hear that Pat - Dixie is such a nice mare. We don't have wolves but we have coyotes and black bears and the coyotes are pretty brazen. I've seen...
Pat, I'm so sorry to hear you lost your foal...how awful. I'm in Nova Scotia and there are tons of Eastern Coyotes here as I live right on a wetland/upland...
Hi Pat and Roxanne: Rox - how have your sheep remained safe in your area? And bears too, yowza :/ Pat: What a tragedy to lose any foal by Dixie, she and...
... The llama. But they are all also in a fenced pen at night with an in and out barn and a yardlight. Dewdrop (llama) would be no match for a pack. Roxanne...
Pat, sorry about your bad luck, I hope the rest of the foaling season is much better for you. We have one out of three on the ground! A beautiful filly for...
Aww that's so sad..losing an awaited foal like that. I'm glad you were still home to be there for the second one's complications. Here my main enemies are dogs...
