    She is living up to her name. Classy walked right up to you that first time, because she sensed what a gentle, loving, kind-hearted man you are. She certainly is a beauty, and will be even more so in a month or two.

      ​@@anntrope491Neck threadworm is only visible under microscope. This is probably lice. Diatomaceous Earth (white powder) does a great job on lice infestations and is completely safe. Dust the horse and the entire stall area where the infested horse is kept. Diatomaceous earth mechanically kills insects with hard carapaces with it's tiny shards that crack the carapace in the joints and dehydrate the insect, effectively killing it without poison.

    • @cattymajiv
      @cattymajiv Рік тому +5

      Yes. Me too. She's built very light. But then as far as I know, JR is pretty careful about that.
      But then just after I wrote that, he said he will ride her. I have no idea of her weight. I know JR is 6'4".
      But he does have an actual scale to weigh his horses. And he knows about the 20% rule. It also makes a difference what kind of riding you do. Like a short ride doing easy stuff is not as bad as a long ride with a lot of , canter and gallop, and bouncing on them at the trot. Bad riders will bounce a lot at all those gaits, and their weight will bang onto the horses back.
      So if he's close to 20% of her weight with all tack etc, and if he only rides a little now and then for training purposes, when he can't get anyone else to do it, that wouldn't be as bad as what I just described in the last paragraph.
      I'm not defending going over the limit. I'm just kind of thinking it through. I hope we are able to find out at some point what she weighs, and what JR weighs.

      @TrialAndError8713 Рік тому +3

      If a family doesn't have a working use for a horse, then they can be an expensive yard ornament. It's getting to the point where most people who are accustomed to having luxuries that they really don't have a genuine need for aren't going to be able to afford to feed themselves and their animals. Unfortunately, for most horse owners, their beloved pets are about to be affected. The economy is really, really bad, and getting worse. Sadly, horses and other pets will suffer as a result.

Bailing twin will break if you're not there a lead rope won't. A panicked horse will break his/her neck trying to get free.
