Today my babý girl (okey she's 2 and a half years, but she'll always be my baby) had to see the dentist.

I don't know what it's called in english, but to translate it directly from swedish would be "Wolf teeth". Anyhow, she had 2 of them.

She was as sweet and calm as a lamb.



Now I have to wait 3-4 weeks before I can start to ride her and I really need some help with how much I should feed her ! Does anybody have some advice? She has quite a lot blood - just like her mother… Continue

As a saddle fitter, I get to see alot of different horses, and riding styles. I received a call from a woman who was in tears.

My husband grew this on his farm this year and it has been a WONDERFUL crop. It's got great points for those that have IR or Cushings horses. It's gluten free. Has low sugar count and NSC (Non-structured carbohydrates) of typically under 10%.

Would be interested to hear any response from anyone that has fed teff and there opinions on it.

Or even if anyone has questions on it. I'ld be glad to answer them (or find the answer) lol

Do you ever wonder what goes on inside your horse’s mind?



On January 23, 2006, The New York Times magazine ran a cover story called The Animal Self.

Hello everyone,

I am posting this to put the information out there; I searched and searched to find out what was wrong with my horses



I wish I had known about this disease 1 1/2 years ago, that was when Patina, Finn and Tucker, my horses first started to be ill with unexplained sore feet, muscle loss and muscle tenderness, clicking joints, and general dullness. Tucker actually died, in spite of vets.



Today "thank God" I have at last found out what was causing…
