    Young Horses Harder To Train, Study Finds

    I agree on the short amount of riding. Horse in training like that I listed need the extra energy even if they are only riding them short times as they are usually in shape and at their peak. To keep that peak grain helps.

    Young Horses Harder To Train, Study Finds

    Horses do not need grain. Unless you have a hard using horse that you need in top shape, but the key is to be using them hard when you grain them. Like race horses, rodeo horses and etc, but the regular ranch horse doesn't need it. I like to grain a half a coffee can of whole oats after I...

    The grey horse called "clabberjet"

    No curve and tail head sits too high for him to get his butt under him to make a barrel horse. He has a kind eye, ought to make you a pretty good ranch horse.

    Got me a curb bit for my pony............now we can start

    Haymaker, looks like he needs a good trimming on the pictures. His toes look a bit long to me. Keep them trimmed up right so you don't go head over heels in a race. :lol:

    Grass Founder

    Founder affects the front feet first and rarely affects the hind feet. It shows up in the front feet first, they stand with the front legs out front and the hind tucked under to take the weight off the front. I highly doubt she had a horse that had founder in the back feet only. Maybe she had...

    Catching a horse

    Well Soapweed, put kids in the story instead of horses. Do your kids love you more for your treats than unconditional love? I still want a horse that doesn't need the treats. I give treats when they least expect it. Kind of like saying I love you. If you say it all the time it gets to be...

    Catching a horse

    Skip the treats!!!! Someday, you might get bucked off and need to catch the pony for a ride home and have no treats. Let them trust you unconditional and not just for treats. Besides, treats then leads to the wanting to bite you looking for a treat.

    Catching a horse

    Start in the corral in a pen, have your halter in your hand, if he turns and runs then make him run around the pen until he stops and faces you. Use the end of your lead rope to keep him running until you see he will face you. Then turn your back and start to walk off, see if he follows you a...

    First they want to save the wolf, now the prairie dog....

    MRS Greg. Why would we want to kill the wolf? The praire dogs would clean us out of grass and therefore we would have no cattle, so no worry on killing the wolf. In all realilty, you need to see sections and sections of prairie dog towns with nothing but holes, dirt, catcus, and weeds on it...
