I rarely get seasonal allergies. But am allergic to dust mites, dogs, cats, horses, and johnson grass (none of which I have been exposed to long term–at least I don’t think). I know it’s not a cold, because I don’t feel sick…just–on occasion–itchy eyes and mostly runny nose. Nothing I take abates the symptons. I’ve tried clariton, pseudoephedrine, even benedril’s effectiveness is limited. Could this be a sign of another serious problem? If so, what? (I would go to the dr., but no health insurance).

HI i asked earlier what to do about my friend getting a horse and that I wanted a horse. And by the way when I say friend I really don’t mean friend. She, to my opinion doesn’t have enough expreience to own a arab, but she says she is in 2 weeks. I’m not really sure what to do I am saving for a horse and waiting until i Have enough money to prepare for one. I tried to give my advise to my friend but she said I was a know-it-all and a snob and to mind my own buissness. she thinks She Keep a horse on £35 a week with £20 grass livery and that you only have to pay insurance yearly(Is that true?) I want to help her but she keeps saying I’m a novice and am just jealous(True) What should I do?
Thanks x
And i do have a very competative side which really doesnt help and a love horses sooo much and really want one
No I’m not a novice and she is not more experienced than me we are more or less the same level. And to Monty person: No I’m not a begginer and you can’t judge that as you have not seen me ride or be with horses so I’m going to ignore your answer and thank everyone else who acutually answered my question and were helpful. Thanks to everyone else!
and also the person who said about arabs I have nothing against them and I just said arab because the horse is an arab. But thanks for pionting that out.
I am currently looking at a horse i really would like to buy.. however the owner told us someone came to view him a few days a go and got him vetted yesterday he "failed" on 1 point.. when he was being lunged on the left rein in a tight circle he appeared lame on his left back knee… he is only 4 and the vet brought it down to a ‘sticky stifle’ not a locking stifle.. his patella tendon catches slightly as it passes across his knee cap. The prospective buyers didnt buy him so now im looking!
He is absolutely lovely and would be perfect for me, i have talked to my friends vet who has said 80% of horses grow out of sticky stifle with lots of exercise to build up the muscles around his leg. He was NOT lame when i viewed him today.. he just looked a little stiff on his back left when he was trotted in a circle. i would really like to buy him.. we are just worried about if we pay for another vetting he may fail again.
If he fails on this note what does it mean on insurance terms.. will we still be able to get cover for him? will we still get cover but not on this ‘condition’? we’re very worried about this would it be possible to get a 2 stage vetting but still get the same insurance cover as if we had have had a 5 stage? or will this increase the insurance premium we would have to pay??
Well you may think this is stupid but when i’m older i want to own a riding school.
i have already started to design and think of things for it but i dont know what.
i’ve done:
first lesson
insurance
farriers
vets
what it will look like
names of the horses
terms
livery
what else do you think i would need
no silly answers
dont say i need horses because i will get them later!
I have worked and trained horses for years and would like to start training people to ride as well as start a business taking people on trail rides. Any info. would be helpfull. Insurance? Anything I may need to know.
She’s not for sale, but her insurance is up in July and I think I may need to confirm or change the amount she’s insured for.
Here’s a video of her schooling (dressage) recently:
-Turned 9 in April
-Irish Sport Horse/TB cross but not registered
-Shown successfully in 1 meter hunters and level 1 and 2 jumpers on the HITS circuit in CA and AZ
-Tight, careful jumper, but she doesn’t have the daisy-cutter hunter movement
-Shown in training level dressage, schooling solid first and some second level movements (counter canter)
-Just started doing dressage about 9 months ago
-Not a beginner’s horse, needs intermediate/advanced rider (not dangerous- just sensitive)
-Ties, clips, loads, bathes, etc. with no problems
-Good ground manners, very friendly
-Vets sound
Wow! Where are you guys finding these incredible, cheap horses?! I looked all over the country and found my horse for a GREAT deal.
fuzzy p is the only one who is even close to estimating her value.
Laluna- do you have a video of your horse? It’s incredible that you could find a horse of that quality for so cheap, I’m very curious to see her go.
A note on the horse market: The horse market isn’t as bad as most people think. For horses under 10k, it has really suffered. This is because the people who could afford those horses can’t afford horses anymore. For "high-end" horses, priced at 20k plus, the market hasn’t significantly changed. This is because people with that kind of money didn’t get hit as hard with the economy crashing. Basically, the rich are still rich, but the middle class has taken a big hit. Horse values haven’t dropped significantly because of this.
What are good majors for a large animal veterinarian?
What are good majors for a large animal veterinarian?
I would like to be a Veterinarian, one who works with horses, cattle, pigs… and the likes. So whats a good major? Biological science of a sort?
Sorry I posted that question twice.
100 years ago we only paid bills that had a real, tangible value. In other words, food, clothes, hay for the horses, and things of that nature. Real stuff.
Now, so much of our income is devoted towards nebuluous, ambiguous items like insurance, taxes, registrations, new member fees, application fees, surcharges, and other things that we really don’t get a value for.
How can we cut the fluff out of our system and only pay for REAL things?
I have had enough. My ex is a huge gambler. In our divorce it states he will pay for daycare and all medical remaining after insurance. We agreed on 50/50 for visitation and expenses. He never pays on time. I have medical bills in collection now because i can not afford to pay them. He repeatly forgets about our sons hygiene. Our son is five. Over a dozen times he has returned him to me 2 days later in the same underwear. I know he loves our son and I don’t want to fight for sole custody but I feel his dad is a bad influence on him. My son knows more about horses, poker and online games then me. My ex also has no bills and makes 5x more than I do but he is self employed so even if I am granted child support I will never get it. I just want him to be responsible and teach our son how to be respectful. Ideas?
Can anybody recomend the best & worst insurance companies in Washington State? I am looking to buy an older truck for hauling horses a few times a week. I am only concerned about having insurance to cover drivers I may hit. Since the truck wont be worth more then a couple thousand dollars, if it gets damaged, my loss. Any suggestions? Thanks
Basically. My horses old owner who has been helpin to exercise her over the last year is going back to new zealand so I’m going to be advertising for someone to come ride her three times a week and to help out with a few stable duties on those days. So basically like sharing her. Would it be unfair to ask for a small contribution to help pay for lookin after her? Where I keep her is quite cheap but farrier bills and insurance mounts up. Any help please?
Thanks for the answers so far. Her old owner was basically helping me get back my confidence with her coz I had some nasty falls. So I didnt ask for any money. She was more of a friend too.
The painting is of 4 horses, 1 in the foreground is white, 3 in the backround: another white horse and 2 brown ones. I found a lot of information about Lumen Winter on the internet, but no mention of a painting similar to this one. Its fairly long, barely fit in the cab of my truck. Its in really good shape. I only paid bucks for it at Goodwill in Missouri. I just wanted to know if I should spend the time/money getting it appraised for insurance.
Do you have it?
What’s the process?
How much is it?
Should consider getting my horses insured?
Okay, Uhh let’s see..
One of my horses I bought for 7500.
And the other 6500. They are both registered.
If that helps, would these be ideal horses to insure haha.
I want to start a camp where kids that don’t normally have the opportunity to ride horses or even learn to ride horses. I have all the horses that I need and all the tack and stuff but don’t know how to get it started. Do I have to get certified for anything….What about insurance……Just things like that I don’t know how to go about doing. I have talked to both of my parents and they are supportive of what I want to do.
