how much is my horse worth?




i want to buy my horse off my parents… its very complicated but basically my sister is pregnant and we cannot afford my horse and the baby… so im gunna move out and live with my Nan (where my horse is kept) and so that my parents don’t have to pay for my horse and me, im gunna buy her off them. Its going to take a while to get the money, as im a jobless 17 years old, but ive been applying for jobs EVERYWHERE and ive been saving up. And ive got 9 months.. but anyways.. what would she be worth to YOU? i estimate about £1000 possibly under (to ME she is worth more than life itself.. but that’s beside the point lol)

here’s some info on her…

OTT TB mare, 15.2, 14 years old, bay. Racing name: She’s a gem- sire: Robellino USA, dam: Rose Gem IRE (for those of you that might be interested in her bloodlines) Very willing mare, tries hard, needs re-schooling, which im in the process of doing. Is terrified of cows- goes nuts when she sees/smells them. Great in traffic, doesn’t bat an eyelid! not a great fan of schooling, loves jumping, used to jump 4 ft, but she is slightly arthritic (try tell her that though! she would go all day and night if you asked her!) so no or very little jumping only. LOVES hacking, what she lives for. Other than being slightly arthritic shes in great shape. Does box walk, but is getting better with it. Can be a bit pushy with inexperience people, so definitely not a first horse, more a second… or third.. lol. Does get quite strong in company, but that’s what im working on. Can be ridden bareback, but is not the most comfy. We brought her 3/4 years ago for £2100 (including all tack and rugs).

thanks.

here’s some pics of her…

I’m 16 and I’ve discovered what looks like ringworm on the back of my leg. I’m too embarrassed to tell my parents about it or go to a doctor, are there any methods I can use to get rid of it myself at home? Or does it go away by itself eventually?

How can I get really stuck in pet hair out?




Me and my husband recently moved into a new apartment. My parents gave us a pull-out couch that had been in there house previously. The couch was being used for years as a place for the cat to sleep. There is hair ALL OVER. We have been trying to Vacuum the couch and use some sticky rollers on it but there is still alot of hair on it. Are there any easy ways to get the hair out?

Keeping cats separate and cat vaccinations?




I have an adult male cat that is indoor, and recently I took in a younger female cat that snuck into our apartment building. She is not a stay, but was abandon by previous tenants. I kept the younger cat at my parents so she could be checked out by the vet, and she is clean from diseases and in good condition. The only problem is that she is pregnant and cannot have cat vaccinations until much later. My current cat had his annual shots in May of 2007, should I keep them apart since I am late in getting his again? I will be getting them shortly. The currently have separate litter boxes and food dishes (It has been a challenge to keep them apart) but a few times they have touched noses and patted around. When can I eventually combine, or leave them together in the same room and not worry about food dishes and potty boxes. I have had her about 2 weeks now too if that helps.

health insurance questions?




After my near death experience of almost being crushed by a horse yesterday I have decided to get some health insurance . Since I do not have a job at this time I have to buy it out right from a company but I am cluless. HMO or PPO, Blue cross blue sheild, Aetna.. I have no idea. I need advice. What is the best and what should I stay away from? I know it is going to be expensive, but I gotta have it and most jobs in this area don’t even provide health isurance anyways. Got a lot of 89’s and 39’s around here. 89 days and 39 hours:(
The isurance is just for me since hubby’s parents insure him and he smokes so I am sure his would be high.

so im 15 (turning 16 in two weeks) and i want to become a veterinarian. so what would be best to do? and where would they hire me? (ex. animal clinics, pet grooming, etc…) i know i wouldnt start out doing all the cool things people with degrees do but i know it will look great on my resume for college. i would volunteer but my parents would never let me volunteer. oh and would i need a permit to work?

insurance cost?




I am starting a horse program.. basically we have kids come out for a few hours and spend some time learning about the basics of horse care and such with a little riding at the end.

we are not sure if we will need liability insurance how much do you think getting liability insurance on something like that would cost?

we do have waivors we are having the parents will have to sign.. or would those be enough?
we haven’t started anything yet so don’t worry.. i was just wondering if anyone had any cost estimates

Help on renting our first apartment?




My fiance and I are getting married June 14, 2009.
This will be our first apartment. Both of our parents own homes/ building and have tenants.
We live and are looking for an apartment in Queens, NY.
We are 23 and 24. No (live-in) kids or pets. I am a recent grad & I work part-time. And he works full time as well as 2nd part time job.

Our dream apartment would be a fairly modern 2 bedrooms, living room, bath and eat-in kitchen. With utilities included. And at least a 1 year lease.
What is an average/ fair price for an apartment like that..

Would it be better to pay my utilities or have them included?
What can i expect or need to do in result of having our own apartment?
What is your opinion on renter’s insurance?
Just any advice you have for first time renters would be appreciated!
Thank you.
from checking craigslist and ads, apartments with what we are looking for run from 00 (if your lucky) to 00 a month. and only half of the higher priced apartment include utilities, and these are private, not complexes.

* Wow 0!! for 2 bedrooms, We need to move to Wisconsin then!

I got a small case of ringworm. My parents are wanting me to be very clean and i Always am. But i can’t wait for it to go away. It doesn’t ich or burn anymore so does that mean its not contagious any more????

when i was 4 yrs old my parents found a tick in my head half way under my scalp, but i never got lyme disease, how come? can a reg blood test tell you if you have it or not? or is their a special test you have to take to know if you are infected with the disease?

What could lethargy be indicative of in a feline?




My ridiculously energetic kitten has suddenly become listless and glassy-eyed, and she’s turning down all offers of food. What could be wrong? Should we be worried?
Update: Thank you all for your information and advice. Just to let you all know, the kitty was fine. I pushed my parents to take her to the vet, but I was assured that she’d recover on her own. Sure enough, after a day of rest, she was back to her old self.

How many pets do you have and what are they?




I currently have 6: 2 female dogs, 2 male cats, 1 male ferret, and one female guinea pig.

Would you get more if you could - providing you had enough room, your parents would let you, your spouse/partner would let you, your roommate would let you etc.

I would have more pets if my house were bigger! Currently only 4 live in our house, our 2 dogs had to stay at my parents’ house - they are used to it there, but I miss them sooooo much!

I have an Bengal/tabby Male that is very unique and i would like to pass on his genes b/c he is so unique…So any help would be gratefully appericate it. The breeder doesn’t have to be a purebred breeder just not a BYB. I require health records,vet records, and some history on the cat and the cats parents.
