I have a question for the experienced ones on the list. I purchased a new mare about 6 weeks ago. whenthe neighbour came in with teh combine she went through the fence. she have alarge hematoma on her chest, is this something that will go away or not. The vet told me what to do over the phone but I forgot to ask. It is has been 2 weeks now.

Yes Amy they are the cutes little guys. I see you have a skipper they are a little less energy dogs.

Barbara, congrats on your first horse!! I bought my first horse last year, when I turned 40. It has been a learning experience, but fun for the most part.

My horse is barefoot because she has very good feet. At this point she is a pleasure horse, but because of her breed, her feet would be good enough to endure quite a bit.

I agree with Mary-Joe. Don't put shoes on her just for the sake of having shoes. Your farrier should be a good judge of whether or not her hooves are hard and strong enough for the type of riding you're doing.

All the best!

Awww Marion,
Shiba Inu puppies are so cute! I had a nice black & tan boy many years ago....

Thanks. I actually am meeting the farrier today at the barn and see what he says. I am just riding her for pleasure and lessons.
This is all new to me as I am a new owner. Love it! but so much to learn.
I just want to do the right thing for my "Sienna Rose".

I would ask your farrier as well. I tried to keep my horse barefoot but unfortunately with the fact that I ride quite a lot (he is a dressage horse) and because of his confirmation he periodically would go lame. So both my coach and farrier recommended that I shoe him at the front. He needed the shoes for support. Ever since then he has not been lame. So see how it goes it depends what you do and how often. I would not shoe him just for the fact of shoeing.

Comment by maureen hall on November 4, 2009 at 7:47pm

it starts at 9:00 - but all the tb classes go first so difficult to say - I would guess around 11:00
