Skip to main content. Ensuring correct saddle fit for you and your horse. Ensuring correct saddle fit for you and your horse. A saddle needs to fit both you AND your horse correctly! You could be equally uncomfortable, or at the very least have a hard time staying in a saddle that is too big or too small. The first step, of course, will be to do wither traces of both horses, and to measure my first horse's current saddle (I think it's a medium wide tree, but I can't remember for sure). For help fitti...

No, that's not some kind of torture device strapped to my horse's mouth. It's just a speculum, for holding his mouth open while my vet works on his teeth.

Skip to main content. Injuries (and the vet bills that go along with them) are no fun! I called the vet, and he came out the next day - he said it wasn't something he needed to come out right away for, and I appreciate that, since he probably saved me a hefty emergency call charge. In the meantime, I was to hose it down a couple of times. (I actually cleaned it out with Betadine, too.) Needless to say, my lesson was canceled that day. My (and my horse's) first show. Stop horse soring in its tracks. Actua...

Skip to main content. Is Thoroughbred racing inherently inhumane? Is Thoroughbred racing inherently inhumane? Over 1,200 race horses die at the track every year. Is the same true of thoroughbred racing? Heavy, sturdy leg bones are a liability in a race horse. Dense bone slows the horse down, by fractions of a second. But a fraction of a second is all it takes to lose. So there is a war of escalation among thoroughbred breeders: who can breed the horse with the longest, flimsiest legs? And unsurprisingly,...

Every year, I hear about something new and hideously cruel that we are doing, either to fellow animals on the planet or even to fellow humans. Animal crush videos, bull hooks in circuses they never fail to amaze me. How cruel are we willing to get for the bottom line? To learn more and to send a message to your local politicians today.

Modifying My Little Ponies seems to be the latest artistic phase going around, and boy does it look tempting. It’s so tempting, in fact, that my daughter and I made this drawing of Starlight from Rainbow Brite as a My Little Pony to be fair, we saw someone’s modified toy version and drew it; we just added a bunch of color and sequins. My favorites are probably the. One is a lot of fun, too.
