Yes, I love how far science has come. Amazing life-saving and life altering findings! A good idea -a study of the differences, if any, in the practices of race horse training between the breeds. That would be very interesting. And the study of bloodlines. (A horse that is known for tripping would not...

I agree completely. When problems arise, it's the lifestyle, the way the horse is raised, trained, how they are treated overall, that we need to look into. I don't understand why there aren't stronger sanctions, or stricter codes of conduct, in the thoroughbred racing industry - it seems...

When my sister was racing her Arabian 15 years ago, there were no races for 3 year olds. 5 was the starting age then. Her horse was "Colorado Horse of the Year" in 1993. Maybe things have changed and the breeders/owners/trainers want a quicker return for their investment.

True - we can site examples in all disciplines. I've been in the dressage world, barrel racing world, show-jumping world, etc., and there were things that bothered me in all of them, but most folks I worked with were concerned for their horses' welfare, which gave me heart. But I still cannot...

Hi, everyone - I have a 22 year old appalossa mare who has Cushing's Syndrome, or Equine Metabolic Syndrome. My farrier, vet, and I have got it undercontrol with Pergolide, Thyro-L, and lots of good care. As you know, horses with EMS are prone to laminitis. We've got that under control, too ...

Thank you - that means a lot to me. She's been with me through thick & thin. It's terribly frustrating that we can't go out and ride and have fun together right now - her self-esteem is noticeably suffering - she loves to go out and mess around in the fields as much as I do. Being able...
