Does any one know what is going on with the PMU industry? I have heard that many US and Canadian farms have been shut down, or at least the herds have been reduced. That was a while ago. I adpoted a PMU foal in 2003. What a...

roanfilly Thanks for your response. You are right about the farms not all being bad. The farm my filly came from treated their horses well, and made arrangements with the rescue so their foals would be adopted into loving homes instead of going to auction. Unfortunately...

I am interested in knowing how many of you who either own or ride horses on a regular basis compete. Or do you enjoy horses just for the enjoyment? If you do compete, in which discipline/events do you compete? .

roanfilly I have horses for the pure enjoyment of it! I ride only for pleasure, but I often take my chilren and 2 or 3 horses to small local shows. One daughter shows English. One daughter does Western, and one shows either, depending on which horse she wants to ride....

Being a fan of the old ECW, I was excited when I heard WWE was bringing it back last summer. But enough is enough. I find myself switching the TV off and going to bed after about fifteen minutes. The ECW alumni are being...

roanfilly Sorry, I guess I should have explained. PMU stands for pregnant mare urine, which is purchased by drug companies for use in female hormone therapy drugs. Thousands of foals are born each year as a by-product of this industry, and many of them are sold to...

roanfilly The only time I have seen my horses in a sitting position is when they are getting up after lying around sun bathing. All of my horses do enjoy lying down to sleep, but they will only do this if they feel very secure. If there is any commotion, or if I...

A number of the people who ride horses around me seem to have the opinion that they are too good to fall of, and so they never wear their helmet. This I think is especially stupid, as they are riding primarily on roads. I put my...

roanfilly I always wear a helmet when riding and require my children and visitors to do the same. I have had people visit who have ridden before and don't want to wear one, but I make them anyway. If they won't wear a helmet they can't ride at my house. My daughter...

roanfilly I do a lot of trail riding. I love getting outdoors, and here in Vermont with the changing seasons there is a lot of variety, even if you use the same trails. I have had western pleasure horses, and eventers, and some that were just good trail horses. I have...

Lately I've been observing the horse industry and there is a huge lack of knowledge in how to deal with horses. There is often no 'give' for a positive response, and even more often a give for a negative response, which reinforces...

roanfilly I started a four month old filly on the Parelli games. She caught on right away, and the results were excellent. I have also used natural training methods on older horses with similar results, though it took a little longer with the older ones that had...
