Good job!

It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done, I can’t wait until we have our own place❤❤

Where can you purchase squeeze buns

I am having such issues finding a small enough girth for my wintec saddle to fit my mini. 20 inch seems too big

I finally gave my horse away last week (5ok dressage horse that I completed to national finals level) bc I couldn't save him from negligent boarding barns. My list of negligence is too long to list here but for years I fought absolute disaster despite I had an unlimited budget. I moved multiple times. I finally realized there was no where left to go. 2 barns failed to feed his ulcergard while he had ulcers. Forgot farrier appointments. Found my horse with a huge cellulitis leg my first day back after I had covid and I had to rush him to the vet til 1am that day. No hay was always a big deal. Found horse dripping with sweat nose to tail in stall after dinner, horse was so frightened he ran into the stall wall when I opened the stall door. Found his halter and lead broken on this door and they were using something else. They let me find that on my own. Later found out they had an electric fence incident with him! Left him like that so hot in his stall eating grain! Found my horse at pasture with a muck bucket used for water, sitting on this side empty, heater with open coils sitting in mud smoking, it had burned clean through the bottom of the plastic muck bucket! It's cord was chewed and expose wires. That place fed only round bales even in the stall so he lost weight, the topline sank and my saddle no longer stayed up while riding! His feet stopped growing, his feet started rotting in the deep mud and no sawdust in the concrete floor/matted stalls, his sulcus rotted and got deep so there was not much sole between sulcus and coffin bone and a crack across his sole, causing over $1k in x ray shoeing and a metal pad to protect his rotting foot! The next day he was turned out in 37 degrees overnight in slick mud and high winds!!! his $1k shoe came off. I spent 12k in unecessary medical bills on grade 2 ulcers from stress and lack of hay in 10 months (diagnostics and treatment). Only a dusting of sawdust was used and got laughed at that my horse laid "right in it" and got yellow stains dripping off his white coat. Where was he supposed to lay? His coat was the only thing absorbing his pee. I offered to pay more for extra bedding -no. So I was always body clipping as he was fully soaked in urine. Got full out yelled at while my horse had ulcers because he would not stand still for me in the crossties while I groomed his belly!!!! I was told he needed to "stand tied." WTF. How about we have some grace while my horse is treated for ulcers? Yeah he's not gonna be happy while grooming. Those are just a few stories from the past few years. I finally had to call horse ownership quits. No where can provide the basics anymore even if you'll pay thousands. I'm mentally exhausted and filled with anxiety now and need to heal from so much abuse, walking on eggshells and just being made to feel I don't matter. Years of battling to save my young show horse was about the death of me.

The fuzzy winter coat is adorable. The shiny coat afterwards is gorgeous.

Hello, thank you for great review! A few days ago I ordered this saddle and can't wait for it to have a try. I have two ponies, one is as tall as yours but my other one is a bit taller/higher. This smaller pony is really ....well.... let's say "over sized" in his weight, what is another struggle while choosing a saddle. Like no withers (....there have to be some withers but I hadn't find it yet....), wide back, big belly and place for the girth right in the front- not like girth straps on the saddle are placed if you know what I mean. That's the reason why the saddle is going on the front on horse's withers and shoulders. My higher pony get some weight recently as well so the problem with saddles is double for me right now. Maybe I will try to change the system of girth's straps to make it in V or Y system because I don't want to use a dock for long period of time. Well we will see.... Another saddles I consider are Eddix saddles, great looking treeless saddles but expensive and probably too long for my ponies. I have one saddle already from Decathlon, Fouganza saddle for kids, treeless but is not great, gives a bad seat for "riders" and also have the same system of girth straps. All the best for your pony and you!

I had a pair of Devon’s years years ago Wore to the bone Bought the new ones and so uncomfortable I had to break in Hard and unyielding like walking in clogs

Bro hit a D8 note 😂

Thank you. Mare with a serious diarrhea issue. May try your concoction.

Shut up. From nothing,you knew a lot.

So which boots do you recommend?

Great idea young lady. Why I did not think of this, chaa! I have a huge metal water trough that we haven't used in 4 3 years, think it would work for this project. The only concern I have is the plastic electric fence insulators being snapped into when my percheron violently grabs the hay/haynet, especially when net is almost empty. Have you had any breakage or mishaps? Anything you would do differently going forward? Thx 4 the idea!

Omg does not single horse person who grooms horses have a tripod or how about grooming one sction completley st a time!

I purchased a Barefoot Cheyenne treeless for my very wide Appy who’s hard to fit for treed saddle. Personality wise he’s not at all spooky so we don’t have any crazy lateral movements. We have had some crazy fast gallops due to foot races, around corners at full out run (asked to do so) and I’ve never had a problem with my saddle slipping. I can mount from the ground with no movement as well. It does pitch forward but I have adjusted my posture to accommodate for it. For someone with mediocre balance or riding ability it’s definitely not the saddle for you. It does initially cause lower body discomfort in places I didn’t have in a treed saddle but again, I’ve ridden it so much that my muscles have adjusted. Muscle memory like any other saddle. I use western fenders and stirrups with mine to protect my shins from rubbing. It is like bareback riding which my horse likes best and with the Equipedic pad I have, we have lots of spinal clearance.

I c trot and canter

She is 33

Do you ever use hands on massage; if so how and how often? My mare is a beautiful quarter horse and does really well all things considered. I do what you went over, but have a little massage on big muscle groups around joints…any suggestions?

I love mules, cute your rewarding with hay.

How has this bit worked for you??

I like the look of this style but its so i can have it as a 2 in 1.

Awwww! He is so cute!!!!

Ariat is always hit or miss with their products. Not very consistent with their quality unfortunately.

Are these suitable for a Cushings horse that has to have limited sugar?

Could you upload a video on how you wrapped your toddlers stir up leathers? Lol I’m having trouble! Also what’s the name of that saddle pad under the wintec? Great video! My mini looks like yours!

Okay ganna give it a go

“Camping” bring hay cubes and a bucket to soak them in???? I think we have very different ideas about “camping with horses” They sell a 2.6gallon fold up pail. You can hang it off your saddle and get water for your horse. Around here I wouldn’t want a horse getting down into the steep bank creeks or a pond with 3’ of muddy sludge. Tie a rope to the pail, draw it in and walk it to where the horse is tied off on a high line. Tactical vest/LBV keeps most of your important gear with you! Phone,knife,pistol,small emergency kit. Rope

Lol i use dmso on my back. Shit is amazing

Please help me with dose of brewers yeast. I inherited our daughter’s horse, im not a horse person but learning . He has Fecal Water Syndrome , 2 different Vets missed this diagnosis , I did my own deep dive and found it on horse forum after I posted horses symptoms . I just started him on ProBios.. thank you for your help

Beautiful ❤😊

Nice Mini Horse Tack! I think it's really creative

Promo SM

I’m looking for new boots and this review was so helpful especially how you compared the details and quality. Thank you so much for the review!

I’m soooooo doing this tomorrow ♥️🐴♥️🐴♥️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏

My horse won't eat carrots LMAO lol, but he drinks like whale.

I’m at a barn rn, where I’m thinking I need to leave.. so on Sundays all the workers get a day off, so u hav go out there and turn ur horse in an out yourself, and muck out the stall yourself. There’s been times where I’ve gone on Sundays where I’ve rlly questioned if my horse had even had breakfast, or lunch-since there wasn’t any food on the ground or anything in his stall when i would come before or shortly after he had been “fed”.. The pastures also don’t hav a lot of grass in them, and most of them hav 55% sand..

i’m late to the game lol hope you even see this but my horse had bad thrush about a month ago to the point he couldn’t put his foot down on any hard terrain. he hasn’t limped at all since so we went on a trail today and he was holding his leg in the air and stumbling every time he stepped on gravel. i’m considering these for his hind legs, my question is do you use the comfort pads they can come with and do you think these are suitable for extremely gravel terrain?

So much cheaper and just as good as those $300-$400 slow feeders! Thanks for sharing!

Update on my prior comment about the Tough-1 Easy Breather. I got another one with V-strap added. I also added an additional orange strap with a latch to make easier to get on & off (& easier to see), plus strap helps as a backup to the velcro. I put Gorilla tape over the opening hole & only give him a dime sized opening. He can drink with it on. No rubs (need to get a proper fit). It fits face without rubbing & has great opening for nostrils for our heat. So far has not removed again, though he tries. Has held up so far. Guess 3 to 4 years based on time of my prior comment. -- I do have a Greenguard, but let's him eat too much grass. He is super sensitive. I haven't tested it out enough on how holds up, as realized quickly he got too much to eat thru it.

I moved to Yakima and had to sell my horses . I have been riding and an owner of horses since I was three years old my dad sat me on a horse and that was it I was hooked. He bought me my first horse when I was 5 . I had a pinto paint . He wasn’t a small pony like a Shetland but bigger. I out grew him when I was 12 my dad said I needed a more spunky horse so he bought me a thoroughbred horse right off the race track. Sue had a small chip in her right front leg so couldn’t race anymore. She was so spirited she tried racing cars that would go by. She pranced sideways and tucked her head in pride. I’ve had over twenty horses since then . I miss my riding. I see so many horses just sitting in pastures or back yards and not a one horse out there riding. I don’t have space or the money anymore to own my own horse but would love to find someone who is looking to get their horses exercised. I’ll keep you posted . By the way my race horse was green broke ha ha !! So much fun. Better for experienced riders to ride a trained horse do not attempt riding green broke if not experienced. I’ve owned four that were green broke they are unpredictable at times .

I put my grazing muzzle on and my horse is snorting

I’m at a place atm that I have to buy my horses feed myself, but then I have to pick up the poop and put it in bags for them to sell. I had to make up my horses feeds myself as I suspected they weren’t feeding my horse. And I was right. When I confronted them they point blank lied. But there were 6 buckets of feed when I left in the evening and still still 6 buckets left the next evening. I also have to book every time I want to use the arena. I’m paying $185 per week, no stable, fences are broken in some parts, there’s no where to saddle up and no where I can store my saddle. Unfortunately there’s not that much around and she knows it

This is beautiful. I cry cause due to a back injury I fear I'll never get a chance to go horseback riding.

Cool idea

how should paddock boots fit, i went down a size (8.5 vs 9.5) as the bigger sizes foot was slipping at the bag. current ones fit like a glove not sure if too small

Hi, just came across your videos, Very enjoyable and informative. Thank You.

Yeah, the new boots doesn’t look like real leather.

Did your trailer come with those boxes in the mattress area??
