Is fish oil good for horses? They are not fish eaters. I would have to study on that one.

Thank you for your imput and also for the web site. there is something wrong with my computer or I am missing the correct program for running the videos. I have Adobe reader but I could not see the videos of the horses moving in their gaits. thanks Joy

My hair is red but fades to a lighter color if I am inside too much. It gets more red in the sun. The pictures of the Friesian are very cool. I have never seen a picture of one faded. We have a horse that is black in the winter and very dark bay in the spring when she sheds off. WE had a filly onece that was born black and then shed to bay with roaning over the hips and sided then in the fall when she put her winter coat on she was black again but in the spring she was a mix of bay and gray then

Thanks for the info. I clicked on the site you had and it would not show me any video. Just a red screen and when I cliked on the place below to make it come up it said "page cannot be displayed." I really wanted to see those videos. I did find a place that let me watch a short video bout a appy that did the indian suffle. Is that about the same? I would like to have someone show me the different gaits and teach me how to make them do each. Joy

Our old Appy is a red roan but she is pretty white now. She has a few small spots left whth a shado of redness on her lower legs. Her whole front was red when she was young and she had a big blanket.

One time my sis-in-law had a strawberry roan pony and one spring a neighber ask me when my sis-in-law had bought a pink horse? LOL. I read one time that true black is very rare and that they do not fade in the sun. Do you think this is correct?

Jessi, What is the LP studdy. I think color genetics is fastinating. I have not studdied it much. I would love to send a picture but my husbands computer is shot and this one is not hooked to the printer yet. Joy

I am in the same boat as all of you people. We really never had any money before this down turn in our economy. It is kind of like when I ask my mom about how their family did in the depression. She said that they were already so poor they couldn't tell the difference. My big investment was in land. I bought this little acreage here in Iowa, in 1980 and have been blessed to keep it through all of my difficulties. Divorce, being a single mom for several years and then marring a man with 6 kids

I am afraid I would never put the lungline up over the pole. I have some training books that talk about how sensitive the pole is and how much it can hurt your horse to put a lot of pressure there. I would think all horses newer to lunging would fight that arrangement just out of pain. This is how I would start to teach an older horse to lunge. Put on a rope halter if you can ( a good stiff but pliable one not a cheep flimsy one). Stand beside the horses shoulder on one side. Hold the lead about

Some things to think about in moveing is the price of feed and if you have to get permints to go places and land prices and taxes. My husband lived in Tx for a while and he had to get a permit everytime he wanted to move his wifes horse even across the street. Even if you owned the land you were moving to. He said you had to get a vet inspection and a permit. Do you have to do that in NM? In Iowa we don't have to have a permit to go anywhere in the state. But Mo says we have to have one to bring
