I live in the South of the USA. During the summer it can get extremely hot and humid. Our big summer festival is the fourth of July (Indepenence Day) with lots of parades (both cities and small towns), usually with a horse section, often preceeded...
Well, I'm surprised that this has only one reply!! I would have though that this topic would have held more interest than that. On the same day there was the annual xmas pageant, it was reported that the pavement temp was 53C . WAY TO HOT FOR ME !...
Well Janice I have never heard of putting fish oil on horses hoofs, it might be a bit easier to get some of the hundreds of preperations that are in any saddlery shop!!! One of the things we do here sometimes is let a trough overflow a bit so ther...
Hi Karen, The x-ray would confirm a pre-existing condition , so the seller is possibly in breach of contract. Send the horse back! Why take a loss on a three legged horse!
Hi Jen, Why dont you try getting her off the green grass for a couple of days, and just feeding her chaff and bran during that time. Looks like the grass is pretty lush. Cheers Geoffrey
Hi Geoffrey,
Check out Megan's blog that we just featured today and it might answer some of your questions. What a coincidence!
Is it irresponsible to run the Horse Trials in 39 degrees C ?? Here in Adelaide tomorrow the forecast is for 39C , and yet the horse trials will still go on. The x-country phase has been shortened , there are misters in operation at the finish, wa...

Koala hay??
For all you people that are wondering what Koala hay is, well it's a long story. In the 30's Koala's were introduced to Kangaroo Island , (not a native to the island) and for a good few years now they have been eating themselves out of house and home. Koala's only eat a particular type of gum leaves. Lots of Koala's ,not much to eat. So the government said we should Cull some of the Koala's so the numbers come down and they don't all starve to death.One quick shot or a slow lingering death by st… Continue

Shirley said… - You make this jumping stuff look so easy and graceful....well graceful it is...no doubt about that.
Today was a special day for Cash and I~~~got out of the arenas and rode around the yard and down the lane a little. I am thrilled! May sound silly to you but it was a big hurdle for me. Did you get the pun on that? Big Hurdle? It wasn't initially intentional. AND I set some very low jumps out for him Friday and we played around with that with me on the ground. I set two poles together for him to go over and a 4 in. high box and then a regular jump that was probably 6 in. At first he just sort of trotted over and then he started actually jumping. That's so pretty even at that low. I set out a couple barrels too on their side but he wanted nothing to do with going over those. I think the highest he's jumped for me is about 15 inches but he'd way over jump that. I wasn't comfortable with how the jumps were held up (they were useing the seats of a couple of chairs) so we didn't do it anymore. But now we can work with some real jumps so I think we'll end up playing around with them a little. Especially as it gets colder.
It was a good horse week-end for us...hope it was for you too.
By the way, I need some translation again. "A smile on your dial?" I suspect this is going to be very cute..
Keep up the good work with your students and horses!

- You have such inspiring experiences with your horses that are caught with the camera.
I am not sure where my friend is in Australia. I think they had four main destinations on their itinerary. I only remember GBR and Sydney. I don't know where her extented family lives there either. What a nice friend to have that will share the holiday home with you! Our little getaway is a small 'old' log cabin on a small freshwater lake. We have a paddle boat and a pontoon to go out in search for fish, turtles and birds. But of course the fresh water fish can't compare in color to the tropical fish. It is a good retreat if you like to go back to nature.
When I mention 'bored' I'm referring to the attitude that arises when I don't diversify enough. If I attempt to do the same things over and over, Cash will easily distract and let his mind go on to other things which generally means that he's gonna make up his own fun. Much better for me to change it up first and stay the leader.
Keep Jumping Around!

- Hey Patrick, I just saw you are on here so thought I'd say good-night since I'm off for bed at 2:a.m. Didn't feel very good today so I mosied around the barnyard with Cash in hand. It's starting to be old hat for him now. We walked up to the fake deer and he sniffed at it and then tried to push it over. It was a good choice to do the hiking around. Felt like the right thing to do. It's time~~~ on a good day we gotta start getting around the grounds with me in saddle. With 13 horses at my barn, no one else is going outside of the arenas either. I sooooo want to do this before we start getting the ice and snow that only complicate the things that can go bad. Right now ~~lots can go right.

Probably cod liver oil would be suitable. I can get it at the drugstore but it is very expensive. I would rather give that in his feed. This vet is older and said he used to use it on his horses all the time but he cannot get it anymore. It must h...
