    he lays down when saddled/mounted

    we are boarding a TB gelding who lies down as soon as a person mounts. i've tried tightening his girth gradually (doesn't matter). so far, i've just given him a boot in the side, he gets up, no big deal. i wonder if i should try: saddle, tighten girth, walk a minute, snug up girth a bit more...

    jessie-canisphere pups

    i wonder if i can get a pup onto a bullrack coming south?? for my needs, a pup that isn't show quality is perfect! i think maybe for yours, too. so they aren't physically perfect, who cares? the "rejects" are just as good--the breeding is there for what i require: a good dog who knows what's...

    macon--help

    sierraman--cooking rice tips
