If you have a sick horse, seek veterinary assistance immediately. Do not wait to see if your question is answered, especially if your horse is showing signs of illness. In many cases, time is of the essence. If you are having serious training problems with your horse, please seek the services of a qualified trainer. Consult a veterinarian, farrier or other equine professional to eliminate problems caused by injury, poor health or improperly fitting equipment.

I have a horse that I am having trouble closing the door on the trailer, and me leaving the trailer. I can get her in with no problem, but when I go to close the door or leave she starts backing out faster than I can get out. One of the boarders at the stable I board at sugest having her eat her food in the trailer till she is done. Is there any thing that might help me, espeically with me not being in the trailer.

Someone please help me my horse has cushings and I don't know a good riding routine for him he is also 24 and at such a fragile age im worried about hurting him. My usual routine is walk, trot, controlled trot, canter, and then we go for a trail ride. Is this good or should some things be changed. Please give me some hints

to get rid of horse flies try some clorox with water and put it in a spray bottle. just try not to spray the clorox with water at the horse's eyes

If you want to get rid of horse flies, use brewer's yeast. Allow two weeks to see a difference as it builds up in your horse's system. Welive in the deep south and this worked for us.
