Why geld?
(Preview)
After seeing that Vyjack, a 2010 Gelding, came from the back of the pack to upset the Gotham (G3) favourite Overanalyze and take first place, I got to thinking. If Vyjack is worth putting time, money, and energy into training and racing, why is he a gelding? Does anyone know any other great competition...

Tell me about racing!
(Preview)
Does anyone have any stories, pictures, videos, etc from the racing world? I am so fascinated by racing, and unfortunately have yet to actually make it to a track! I think if I could go to one track, (at least to start), I would go to Belmont Park, where one of my favourite horses is buried. - the wonder-...

Selling Horses
(Preview)
A lot of my horse friends here are in the difficult position of having to sell their horses, because of the price of hay, board, and so on. Anyone have any tips to help them speed the process along in this market that seems to be on the back burner? :(

This is so upsetting. The horse in the picture looks like a shackled slave :(
(Preview)
This is an excellent article. I have my horse turned out on his own with other horses in neighbouring paddocks. I feel so guilty about it, but they all have hind shoes and the risk of severe injury is too great to turn them out in a herd. Otherwise, I am doing my best NOT to do all those horrible things to him...

Hi I am a standardbred horse owner/trainer who races and rides STB's. I have been in the stbs' since 1989 and have grown to love this breed.

Horse Lovers ... please vote for a Canada Retirement Foundation for race horses

As many of us are aware, Canada slaughters over 80,000 horses every single year and the majority are the race horses who for the most part are sent directly to be slaughtered when they can no longer make money for their owners at the race tracks. We (The Standardbred Horse Fan Club) submitted an idea for...

Horses judging human conformation
(Preview)
I was just looking at some horse pictures and it occured to me that I have NEVER heard of a horse judging HUMAN conformation, fitness level, shoeing, hair-dos, clothes (except day-glo tie-dye), gaits etc., just their rider's ability in the saddle and the quality of the handling on the ground. Has any...

Has Anyone Tried the EZ fit treeless saddle?

Next year I am planning on saving up for my next saddle, just one more to add to the six I already own. I want to get back to riding Cider, a mare (not mine) that is EXTREMELY hard to fit, with mutton withers and an exceedingly wide back.

Does anyone understand what all this means??
(Preview)
Someone posted this very long-winded article and I can barely get through it, but I think the gist of it is that the big push for microchipping horses in Canada primarily serves as a way to satisfy the EU regulations for identifying disease-free horses that are to be used for meat. Is this correct? htt...

What kind of frame do you hack in?
(Preview)
Do you hack your horse in a long frame? A round frame? Since I ride dressage, I like to give my horse a break with long (not loose) rein when we stroll along on a hack. Some people say that you should always ride a dressage horse round so you have the consistency. What do other people do?

How was your ride today?

It was raining on and off at the barn today, with the sun coming out in between. I went on a gorgeous hack and toward the end Caspari and I ended up in a field on a hill. We were walking along, all alone with the sun and clouds lighting and shading the trees with their mix of green, yellow and red leaves and crea...

Convicted horse abuser tells about about widespread soring of walking horses

What Horse Magazines Do You Read?
(Preview)
What horse magazine/s do you read? I'm a Horse Illustrated junky, been a subscriber for 17 years. I really like just about every publication, but that seems to be my top go-to horsey magazine that isn't breed specific.
