    Emotional Help in Selling Horses

    Thank you everyone for sharing and for the advice! Now that I've slept on it, I'm a little calmer about the whole thing. I think what I will do is continue to train her for a big show in April where she will debut in dressage. We've been planning this show for a while now, so she's getting...

    Emotional Help in Selling Horses

    Hi everyone, please excuse the novel I'm about to write, but I am hoping to get a little emotional advice about selling one of my horses. I have two horses that mean the absolute world to me (all you horsey people will understand that!). One is my competition horse; he has brought me to many a...

    Lesson Pony for Sale or Lease?

    Does anyone have a lesson pony for sale or off-farm care lease? Or does anyone know if one of the local barns around here like Flat Iron, A Moment in Time, Woodbury, etc. have any lesson-type ponies they're trying to find homes for or lease out? I'm looking for something under 15 hands and...

    Herd bound horses...

    I think you are wise to get the vet involved. I would do that before you start cranking up the calming meds, just in case there's something in there that could make matters worse if overdosed. I'd have the vet check out everything - it could be a medical issue, as mentioned before about the...

    Hurricane Sandy is coming .....

    Ok so for everyone who thinks we aren't going to get anything here in Southern Maryland, I don't think you realize how big hurricanes can stretch. Even if the eye doesn't hit anywhere near us, we can still feel the effects with downpours of rain and high winds. The reason that it can still be...

    Advice for buying a new camera?

    I was reading through some of the posts here on buying a new camera which seem like they will be very helpful, but I really have no idea where to start. I learned some photography skills on my boss's camera (which was a Canon, but it was french so I don't know what kind it was). I take lots of...

    Farrier and Vet?

    Hi, I'm fairly new to town and I was just hoping I could get some farrier and vet recommendations! I live south of Leonardtown. I'm specifically looking for any leg/hoof specialists because I have a mare with a really bad clubbed foot and needs special attention. Thank you very much!
