[quote user="Ride-now"] [quote user="dressagedude"]Then I have to wonder why this would ever be necessary.[/quote] Why is it necessary?.. $$ - lots of it! there's an ad about it in a magazine about how this company cloned the gelding Sapphire (grand prix jumper) so now they can use the horse for breeding - somthing that they previously couldn't do. [/quote] Gem Twist was also cloned. Interestingly, the clone is a bay, not white. Here's the lab's press release:

Well, I have a warmblood clasically trained in dressage in Europe to Level 4. But I'm riding him and I'm a jumper convert. So the TB in the barn doing dressage looks a hell of a lot better than my boy right now :) I wouldn't worry about it, TB's can go very far.

I have 2 wonderful Polish Warmbloods. :)

Call the vet. May need to start oral antibios. I'm a small animal vet tech and have seen abcesses get nasty fast. If it doesn't continue to progress or starts swelling call the vet ASAP.

My Polish Warmblood gets this too mainly in the spring. I've used a fungicide and it's taken care of it. Fung-away seems to work for me. Not sure if it's rainrot. Mine just started with a couple patches by his girth too.

Hi! I am looking for a good horse shipper. I am moving from Michigan to Iowa and have 2 large warmbloods. One can be a handful sometimes (challenges new people) and the other is just BIG (17.3 and all muscle). Has anyone used a horse transporter they would recommend? I'm a nervous wreck about shipping my babies. Thank you!

Hi all! I have a 16.2 angloarab mix who has some trust issues. He is now OK with me on the ground. However, when, for example, some one else longes him (like my trainer who cares for him daily and rode him for me this fall) he gets all upset and acts like they are trying to kill him (running full out, always keeping an eye on the person) the first time. If they work him again he's fine and a good boy. No one has ever abused this horse, I know everyone who had him before me and they are quite

There's a TB at my barn on it too and he did well. My horse is well trained and gets a lot of work (he's definitely not underworked or overworked) but has days when he's just nutty for no reason. I'm hoping this works well for him. I may try B1 too. Thanks!

Outside leg behind the girth and pressing, inside at the girth with contact. Outside rein hold head out with contact, inside lifts, lighter contact. Works like a charm

Has anyone used Magnesium supplements for hyper horses? We're trying it on my husband's hyper Selle Francais as he seems to want to be quite the nut lately. We're trying Seroquine on our trainer's recommendation. Anyone used this one?
