PETS Q & A
Do horses sleep standing up?
Scared of our own horses. Help trying to ease my nerves?
Hi everyone My mother has two big horses that we keep on our property. We've had them for about a year. One of them is an older female and a younger male. I used to be very comfortable around them, and I used to love riding them. But one day I fell off, and that's when it all went downhill. Suddenly I had developed this rational fear of them. Like I fear that one day they will fatally hurt my mother or something bad will happen. I have trouble sleeping at night because I am so nervous about them. I can't lead them into their stalls without feeling nauseous. I tried riding them to get more comfortable, but I had to get off so I could pass out in the grass 10 yards away. I'm wondering if anyone has any tips to make me more comfortable with them and make having them an enjoyable experience again. Thanks a ton
Our two horses joined us about 6 months ago, and they live on 20 acres. They keep running away...?
They keep running away back to the people we purchased them from...A very small farm of 2 acres....How can we stop this?Christie, you mentioned this is funny...yes....6a.m. and they are running, apparently, down the road a block away....to their horse friends....4 of them that they lived with for 5 years....no run, no toys???but the owners love horses....Further, my mate loves horses and that is why we got them I hate horses and have nothing to do with them . Our dogs have been hit by these horses, so I stay away...
Help with catching horses?
There are 3 ponies at the barn where I ride. All of them are green. The oldest about 10 is trained but hasn't been ridden in like 6 years. Her kids about 4 6 , have been broke, but they can't really be ridden by anyone who doesn't know what they're doing. The daughter is the most trained and the most friendly. In the field, she will come up to you and nuzzle you. The other 2 will let you go near them and give them food but they will take off whenever you try to catch them. They've both only been caught twice recently. I really need help in figuring out a way to catch them because the gelding has a ripped blanket on and we're afraid he's going to get stuck in it. We really need to catch him so we can get it off.We've tried grain, cornering, running it out of them. Everything. If you have any ideas please tell meI had no help nor decision making of the past of these ponies. They were abandoned near the end of fall and the owner of the barn took them in. The vet, dentist, and farrier were all called in before the ponies were even put in a field. We only had one pony blanket so we put it on the smallest and skinniest. So i would appreciate some help in just answering the question

Horse Insurance And Poll For Horse Owners And Non-Horse Owners?
hi. So on a previous question, someone brought up a good point about Horse Insurance, so I started looking around, but couldn't find prices, so Where do you live and what insurance to you have? Like the state and Farm Bureau or whatever What does it cost? Do you think it's worth it?Poll How many times a week do you see your horse? How did you get your horse? What do you pay for, with your horse? What do you ride western or english and what discipline? What are you and your horse working on? Tell me about your horse life? What is a regular day at the barn? Whenever that may be.Poll Non Horse Owners How much do you have saved up for a horse? How often do you ride? When do you think you will be ready for a horse? What will you pay for, with your horse? How do you save? Like a box, or savings, or what What do you do to get money? What do you have for a horse? Tell me about your horse life?DP Donald I more mean people who ride more often and are like working on something, or just riding for fun. No they are not the same. One says how you got into horses, and what everything has been like. A regular day at the barn is like what you do daily
Making payments on a horse?
I boarded with a gentlemen for about a year,he didn't charged me a high boarding fee,he had one horse that belonged to him there,which I started to take care of,I purchased the feed and took over the horses care I.e.Farrier work,vet and feed for the entire time I boarded,he fell on hardship and had to sell the property and couldn't take his horse,so we decided on payments on the horse and I took her with me,I make regular payment. I found the horses breeder and was told that he never registered her and I could register her into my name even so I still make payments on her and the breeder said once she is in my name I wouldn't have to make payments anymore,which I decided was wrong and continued making payments,but the owner got wind of this and now said he will do legal actions against me since he said its fraud,but I haven't registered the horse in my name at all. I took care of his horse all this time he didn't had to buy any feed or horse care,haven't registered her and still making my payments,but he keeps telling me he will do legal actions against me for fraud. Does he have any rights to the horse or a case against me for fraud? He said he went to the police already. The horse is still under my care and he has no place to put her anyways. Isn't that just hear say just because he heard something thru the grapewine,which I haven't done yet? Can he take the horse back even so I make my payments?
Horse keeps running away when haltered?
My horse, Silverado, has this nasty habit of running away when I have him haltered and I'm leading him to the barn. He's huge, so he knows that he can get away with it.You must understand, he's not bad with BEING haltered, but once the halter is on and I'm leading him away from the other horses, he quickly turns his head away from me and breaks away. Last time, he headed down the road of the stable and his halter came clean off. It was a very dangerous situation, and I really need some advice.When I take him into the barn, I cross tie him and give him treats and groom him, so I don't think he has an issue with going to the barn, but if that's what you think it is don't hesitate to say so We use a rope halter, and I really don't want my first resort to be getting a chain because there has to be another way. But at the same time, this is a habit that really, really needs to be fixed soon for everyone's safety.Please help???
Herd bound horse problem, help?
My horse is insanely herd bound. Its gotten so bad, that I cant turn him away from the other horses without him trying to throw me off. Hes stronger than me obviously, so he just pulls back and runs to the other horses. Also, when im loping on him, i cant turn him or stop him until he wants to because hes trying to follow the other horses. Ive tried spurs and im a good rider so its not my technique, its him being so herd bound. Help?
How to stop a horse from bucking?
How to stop a horse from bucking?Im a very experienced rider, with trail rides, and not with shows because i have never liked to show or be " proper" I ride for fun and because i love horses. But i have been on many bucking horses but have never fallen off once. Usaully when I have a horse that starts bucking when im on, i imedietly kick, and kick until that horse is going as fast as i want it to go, and by that time its bucking spree is over, or i just swing my leg over and hop off in mid buck. I have trid just pulling back or to the sides but it seems as if it makes the horses I ride very unbalanced. I just want to know if there are any other good ways to stop a horse from bucking that would be ok for a younger not so experianced rider to do. Thanks

Where can I find veterinarians and horse enthusiasts to interview?
I am a Junior in highschool this year and I am required to write an I Search paper. Basically, I have to interview people about things that I need to know. I've chosen animals and people as my topic. I would like to explore the veterinary world, though specifically I am looking for how to work with both the animals and the people in a veterinary environment. I would love to interview a wide variety of people. I need a minimum of five people, and I do have people to interview already, but no veterinarians or anything. I would love to talk to anyone and everyone that has any animal experience, though I am focusing on horses for this paper to narrow it down a tad . If anyone knows of any resources to find people to interview or would like to conduct an interview, please let me know. Thanks If you need any additional information about what I'm doing, feel free to ask I'm open to any and all emails, as well, so just ask for my email. Yes, I am in the United States. I am located in a very small town in Iowa, hence being unsure about where to get started. The problem is that I don't know many vets around this area and they all are far too busy to help a high school student.
