I have used an invisible fence with success to keep my dog from wandering. They are relatively cheap, easy to install. In fact you can just lay the ground wire on the ground instead of burying if is in a place that will not get cut. Many dogs will get trained and never even need the fence to be...

Start by taking them riding to a stable to get lessons for all of you. Who's going to muck the stall every day? YOU. Don't buy one from a backyard. Get it from a reputable stable. That does not mean it has to be a fancy expensive horse. But you need to buy one from someone who cares about their...

My vet said they put on the most weight from hay.

Everything went well? Will they get you another horse next time?

So have you taken the flight yet? What you describe is just like me. I avoided flying until my mid thirties. Have your parents take you to the Doctor to get something to take for the flight. The anxiety that you feel for such a long time outweighs any trouble you may worry about taking meds. I...

5-8 years old is a very young horse.I have had 2 horse live to be 40 or more years old. One was ridden the day before she died . The other was healthy but blind in the end. I have one horse I got at 16 and another I got at 23. They have plenty of spunk and are never sick.There are trainers who...

A better way to start with your first horse is to share the lease of a horse. I have seen them advertised for $200-$400 a month where I am. You share in the expense of a horse and share riding time. This is an economical way to have a horse. You can often trade riding time for chores at a...

So how is all the chore sharing going with the sister?

Finding the right horse is not easy. Emotions sway your decision so easily. You won't know a good horse from a bad without riding a lot.Even when you take lessons they saddle them up etc. You get him home, don't know how to pick a saddle or a bit. I always ask to buy the horses bridle and bit...

eat-He really did not look all that bad when you got him-at least weight wise. His coat looks better. A horse can gain 50 lbs. in a snap. Great job!

You don't say where you are from. My horses hate being in the barn. I put them in in wet cold weather. A simple pole barn might be all you need for sun, rain and wind protection depending on what region you are in. If you have never ridden take lot of lessons first before you buy a horse. A...

You don't say how old you are. Everyone thinks they know a lot about horses and a lot about riding. When you get a horse home that is ridden everyday, and you think you can just hop on once a week and have a great time, you are mistaken. If you haven't had a lot of lessons go back to a lot of...

I am in southcoast Massachusetts. I am plowing under an old field and am nearly ready for seeding. I plan to plant it to grazing pasture for 2 horses. It is about 2 1/2 acres. Can anyone suggest the seed I should use. I am afraid what I get at Tractor supply will be generic for anywhere. Any...
