Good god. I wish I had this your list whenever I first got my horse! This is very well detailed and from what I can see you’re not missing anything. You might have to get more stuff as time goes on and obviously replace them but this is a very good starting point. Although some of the things (for me at least) are not necessary but they might be of some aid to you and your horse. But if you don’t need it it is always nice to have it just in case.
I hope you enjoy your first horse and I hope you guys have many happy and successful years together!
Hello, i was wondering if there are any good Dog Breeds that are good for people who don’t get out much, who are usually sick and don’t have much energy. My Aunt is looking for a dog, and she is always sick and needs a companion that doesn’t require too much work or physical activity. She wants a smaller dog, that NEEDS to get along with other animals, preferably cats. Basically she needs a dog that doesn’t need a lot of energy, and that a person with sickness can handle easily 
Thank you!
Wow, that was a lot of bad recommendations listed above! All of those dogs aren’t calm and able to be handled by someone with chronic sickness & disabilities!
Your best bet (and only sane thing to do) is to contact a rescue that foster’s dogs and knows their exact histories. I would suggest a rescue that specifically focuses in small dogs as many older dogs that are toy breeds or small terriers often have obedience training and are potty-trained. An older dog won’t have the energy level of a puppy, and most won’t need more activity than to play fetch or run around the yard to keep in shape.
Toy dogs were bred to be companions, and by getting an older dog from a breeder (often older dogs don’t fit the breed description exactly and can’t continue being shown or bred, and the breeder will have already trained the dog and then will sell the animal to someone responsible for a small fee) or from an experienced small animal rescue you will know exactly what you are getting and be able to correctly match a dog with your needs.
Looking for opinions –
My coach periodically hires me to do some grooming for him. My latest task is to prepare a horse to move to Florida (from Ohio) to live with his new mom. I’ve been given very little instruction, just “pull his mane and body clip him”.
If someone told you to clip this horse, would you clip his legs, and would you clip his head/face? (the neck and body are a given, I’m going to clip those)
- The horse will NOT be showing (at least, no time soon, he’s out of shape)
- His winter coat doesn’t get very long or thick anyway
- But he does get sweaty almost every time he’s ridden no matter the weather – very hyper jumper
Here, in Ohio, I pretty much always leave the head, and usually leave the legs unclipped at this time of year. Does this work for Florida weather, too?
I would completely clip him (full-body clip). I’m in FL, and we are getting into warmer days now (after an unusually chilly winter… temps today will reach 80 in my area). The transition from Ohio to Florida will be a huge difference in temperature and humidity, and he’ll be much more comfortable without the extra hair. Be sure he has a hood and good blanket while he’s still in OH, and during the majority of the trip down (they’ll remove it as they get to the warmer climates). Keep him warm during his few days of "nakedness" in OH, and he’ll be comfy when he gets down here to FL.
I have a small pet care business, and am trying to get some supplies to make it a little easier on myself. I need a portable grooming table with an arm, the loops to hold the dog in place, muzzles, ect.
But I’m having a hard time finding sites that ship to Canada. Does anyone know any good websites I could use?

cheap prices..great products!
*don’t forget, that any great pet care business uses kennel disinfectants..to keep the spread of diseases down** pet edge has a gallon that dilutes to 200 gallons for $22.00

March 11, 2009 – Ski conditions were surprisingly good considering it was March in Africa. Definitely not a beginner’s ski destination as the runs are very steep and there is no Grooming Equipment nor first aid…

There are many different styles available for grooming poodle Dog Breeds, most of which can be accomplished by hand scissoring or by using different blades and trimmer attachments. Leave the neck of a poodle long and graceful, and make sure the top knot and tail stand at the same level with advice from a professional dog groomer in this free video on grooming dogs.

so i half lease a school horse, i’ve been riding her for almost a year (i love her so much 
) and lately i’ve been doing a lot more showing. other girls at the barn who are half-leasing school horses have a lot of equipment for their horses even though they don’t own them. they are also in 4H. i’m joining 4H for the first time this year (we’ve only had 1 meeting so far) in the same club as them. i really like the idea of having my own equipment for showing and stuff, things i can use for multiple horses (so not a saddle or halter or anything like that).
the things i’m considering are:
- a portable saddle stand
- shampoo
- a show tote bag
- detangler spray
i don’t have a ton of money to spend, since my only income is from babysitting. what do you suggest i look at buying? i already own a grooming kit. i have a pretty tight budget, so my total should come to a bit lower than $80 or so.
i ride her once a week in my lessons, but sometimes i’m able to lease-ride her when we have the money and the time (at my barn you pay per ride). and don’t worry, i hate the color hot pink, and she’s a mare, anyway 
I have a horse on loan, and so does this other girl at my farm (the horses are owned buy the same person)
You could buy:
-Rugs, getting quite chilly
-Food and/or water buckets
-Big bag of carrots or apples
-Hoof oil (you can get some with glitter in )
-Treats
-A Name thing for her door
-A hat for christmas so cutee
-Name tag for headcoller
-Coloured bobbles for her mane and tail
-If she has to wear boots get her some new coloured ones, then
if they come of you can see them
Ermm and can’t reallt think of anything elsee
Hopes this helps x
I was looking into getting smaller dogs, such as chihuahuas or teacup yorkies… but i also would love bigger breeds such as american eskimo dog’s and golden retrievers… tell me what you this by experience.
best types are determined by owners preferences and lifestyles, a breed can be totally great for one person and their lifestyle and become a nightmare for the next person.
If you are a person who enjoys a laidback quiet lifestyle with just a couple short leisurely walk, a hyper vocal dogs that wants to run and play fetch all day is going to drive you batty and will likely destroy your home without enough exercise to wear off its energy, if you are are marathon runner and want a dog to keep you company and offer protection while you run , a pug just won’t do.
So for each person there is a right breed but not such thing as one right breed that will suit everyone
