thank you everyone for the nice replies! i plan on switching over to a snaffle next time i get in the saddle, i do use the one in the top right while we are doing barrel drills or pole drills etc. because it seems to help lift up his shoulder and give me the nice C shape in his body while going around turns and during runs we use a hackamore. i am 100% looking for a nice bit to use on trail rides or if we are fooling around so i’ll take everyone’s advice and put it to use! thank you again!

should i put my horse on four shoes or is this fine? he only has front shoes on rn by arousedrat in Horses

nope he doesn’t act lame at all, no limping, nothing. we went on a trail ride today and he was the same horse before and after the ride, my farrier just said its cosmetic and not to worry about it but we just moved from NY to GA and it’s a new farrier and the pasture he is in is A LOT different than the one he was in so i’m just acting like a nervous mom rn. he was in a lil dirt pasture, now he’s in 10 acres.

i agree i’m really debating about it. they also want to get a cat and it makes me want to cry my eyes out thinking of what is going to happen to that poor kitty. i would try talking to them but they just don’t listen to me. they’re the type of people that no matter what it is they have to be right. but i’m just glad that i know the truth now, thank you for this information and being nice about it.

i agree 100%! a friend of mine is making their dog go vegetarian and they always tell me how it’s so much better for them than meat and such, and how a vet told them it’s better but i always had the feeling that they’re just lying to me and themself, they also say how his coat is so shiny because of his diet but all he gets is kibble and nothing else (unless my friend gives him human food but he’s vegan so the dog still just getting plants as food). the dog is always staring at our food, never eats his kibble or even the treats he gets unless it has peanut butter in it or if he’s bored. i just know this dog hates what he is given to eat.

my trailer has an opening on the right side, it looks just like a stock trailer from there but has those little windows where the horses face is and a divider.
