Getting over an injury....

Hi Everyone! I'm new to Barnmice, this is my first post! I own a 14 year old QH gelding that I've had for 8 years. He's really awesome, he'll be mine for as long as he's alive.

Funny moments with horses

Have you had a moment with horses that made you laugh? Let's hear of your funny moments. One day when working at a riding stable I was taking a ride out.

Staying Motivated
(Preview)
When I was younger (and I still am young at only 20!) I had no problem getting to the barn. However, now that I no longer have a coach, I've found a lot of my drive is gone. I still love going to the barn, but if the weather is crappy, I'll stay in. And when I do go, I'm more likely to just feed carrots than to actua...

How flexible could they be? ...
