Does Your Horse Really Need a Job?
For some people, owning a horse is a business. For some, it is a hobby. For others a lifestyle. Some people love the thrill of a gallop, others just love the satisfaction of giving their horse a loving, caring home.

It might be a shock to some people to find out that their horse is waterproof. I know that it is not quite that simple if your horse is clipped, old or ill. But generally speaking, your horse will not die if it goes out into the field in the rain, snow, mud, or wind.

7 Methods for keeping Your Pony Cheerful One of the main parts of really focusing on your pony is keeping him cheerful. Ponies are shockingly friendly and dynamic creatures that will more often than not get exhausted or forlorn without any problem. Ponies, regardless of not having the option to talk, can actually impart their feelings to communicate how they are feeling. Ponies can become discouraged, in any event, creating odd ways of behaving, assuming they are denied of a few regular components of equine life that keep them cheerful.
Adedeji SamuelPublished 2 years ago in PetlifeWhy should you do a genetic test on your dog?
Genetic tests in humans are already a common reality to find out about preventable genetic diseases or even to find out the ethnic origin of our ancestors. For example, it is already common to analyze the presence of certain mutations in genes to understand the probability of a person to suffer from certain types of cancer. How could it be otherwise, these types of tests are beginning to be available for our fellow dogs and thus be able to give them better health.
For The Love Of Horse
~ Chapter 1 The Crazy Horse Lady Soaking up the sun overlooking the harbor is a delightful way to spend a Friday afternoon. The tink-tink sound of the shrouds or cables clinking against the sailboat masts in the breeze made music with the squawking seagulls. Seaside afternoons were crisp and welcoming. I was lifting a refreshing glass of chilled chardonnay to my lips. The chatter of the crowd around me was telltale that folks were busy celebrating an ended week of work. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop when a voice behind me caught my attention. “They poop when you let them.” Well I knew instantly what they were discussing. God knows our dogs drag us all over the neighborhood peeing and squatting as they please. We carry plastic bags around tidying up after them like indentured servants. Cats would likely fall off their fence boards in laughter at the notion of being so controlled, but not our beloved horses. They serve and love and take what we hand out in complete silence.
Lynn HummerPublished 2 years ago in PetlifeDiscovering Natural Horsemanship
We had never heard of natural horsemanship when I got my first horse, Gypsy. As soon as I could, I attended a school that offered a two year equine management course. Half way through the first year, one of my instructors told me “You will never be a horse trainer – you are too soft. You need to take charge and TELL the horse what to do.” I was devastated. Training horses was a life-long dream! And I was being told I may as well give up before I start.
Diana KelleyPublished 2 years ago in PetlifeHow Can You Talk About Just One Pet And Only About A Dog?
I have many memories of times with pets. Is it because I have been alive for so long, or is it because I have had so many pets? I am not sure but there is no way I can tell just one story.

“Why do you always wear black?” “I’m in mourning for my life.” —Masha The Seagull *** To be alive is to mourn. Beds where we once rested our heads, people we once rested beside, animals we’ve loved, family we’ve lost, our bodies. We mourn what has been, what can never be again, hopes dashed, love soured, spring flowers that cannot last. Some days I mourn my 20 year-old knees, my grandmother’s ability to drive a car after dark, cities where young love dripped from me, my child-feet standing on my father’s surfboard, his head still full of hair. Memory, a sweet grief, exquisite and excruciating.
Jen Parkhill “JP”Published 2 years ago in PetlifeThe Gypsy Horse
Fair warning: Bella was not mine in truth. She was ‘mine’ in the sense that every volunteer at the Riding for the Disabled Association stables I went to had a horse that they worked with. But I loved her. She was a red bay gypsy cob and was sold to the stable when she was pregnant.
