So years ago, I got my first horse. A mustang, whom we named Keanu because he was kinda a pompous douchebag...in a loveable way. xD I had a good few years with him, but then things changed in my life and I couldn't keep him any longer.

I found this nice old man via craigslist and Keanu really seemed to like him, which was really strange, he didn't ( Read more... )

The trashy lady next door (lives behind me) came over and asked if I knew where my mom
was yesterday (who lives around the corner) while I was cleaning out Belugas pen and giving him new
water and hay. I told her she was in Orlando and she would be for the
rest of the day, she said
"Oh, okay,” then pet Beluga and left.

I come to find out this morning, ( Read more... )

So awhile back I posted asking about how to exactly get it through my mothers head that a mini horse/pony does not need as much food as a big horse, and you guys helped so much!!! Countless vets have been out told her the same thing and it seemed all was going fine for a while.

Hello everyone, I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Recently my boyfriend and I started leasing a new horse, a 16 year old Selle Français named Hermes.

2) She ( Read more... )

I've been using my current vet since January of this year - since I bought the baby. Many horsie friends I know use them as well, and I've gotten to know them quite a bit over the past 8+ months. I know it hasn't been that long, but I've always been on time to meet them at appointments, had my horse ready, and paid promptly in full for services ( Read more... )

Alright, the place I am currently boarding my two horses has officially hit the last staw with me.  My one mares, Gracie, now needs about 100 plus pounds on her due to the barn manager's ignorance, and I am just about at wits end as to what to do. Besides the obvious of getting my horses the heck outta there ASAP! It just seems when it comes to ( Read more... )
