I feed hay, and if I'm feeding more than a handful of grain, I feed grain after the horse has had a chance to eat some hay.
The reason for this is that the horses adore grain and they try to eat it very quickly. Having something in their stomach ...
Another thing I figure in favor of having my own place is ah...oh dear...lifestyle. I'm living a kind of life I love. Being surrounded by horses and land. I see sunrises and moon rises. I see my neighbor's cows. I see birds, wild animals (little t...
hee heeh. i don't know how these round pen methods turn out so I don't want to pass too much judgement, but personally, i think that it may work better for the western horses, such as the QH breed, because they have the type of temperament that it...
Thanks slc2, well thought out. I do still keep my own horses, definitely a savings in that sense. but the costs i worked out, was the cost per horse, just for feed, shavings and hay per month added up to the same amount I was charging for board af...
"It depends". How do you figure you aren't getting paid for your time. I would wager that you are actually being paid A GREAT DEAL for your 'hours'.
If you support two horses with the boarders, you have to figure how much it would cost you to boa...
It's been only about 3 years... and an ON-GOING learning process. =)
But sometimes gives me a riding buddy as a BONUS. haha
I like your boarding system! How long have you been doing it?

I have a friend with a senior Morgan who's looking to find a good home for him. Needs better care than he's getting now, is ridable, as far as i know. if anyone can help find him a home I can email pics too, please contact me. The horse is in Nova Scotia, Canada (Amherst, i think).

With an inexperienced horse, do you find it's easier to work on lateral movements a little each day, or a little every few days? I don't want to tax his good will, but I do want to make progress.
Do things well in terms of getting your clients to have good balanced rising trots and gentle hands...avoid sitting trot and keep the quality of the work if at all possible...then your horses will improve and your clients will improve and the inco...
The weight has to go wherever it helps the horse stay balanced and do his job. The "books" say you should always sit on the inside of the bend. But it often helps the horse more if you sit in the direction of the movement. In lateral movements it ...
