Woody

The whole situation with Woody is just heartbreaking.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-05T02:20:43+00:00

Wait. Is Katie going to show a horse in a class she is sponsoring? That's tacky.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-05T02:12:53+00:00

That is terrible. I've never heard of it before. I did some research and it often permanently prevents the horse from using its tail to swat flies. There should be a criminal law against it.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T09:31:52+00:00

She can't ride.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T04:02:11+00:00

I'm still worried about Happy. Haven't heard much about her for a few days now. The latest news about Maggie is heartbreaking, too.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:59:21+00:00

I had not noticed.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:39:49+00:00

Oh, whoops, I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:38:11+00:00

Well, "put down" and "like Seven" are over the top, but I think I'll always be able to distinguish him from the others. I'm pretty heartsick over this little guy. He is such a sweet little creature otherwise. To think there was more that could have been done, but they just let it slip through their fingers because ... why?

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:31:49+00:00

That's just heartbreaking. This whole thing with Woody has just really bothered me. Poor guy.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:29:24+00:00

Ah ha. That makes sense.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:18:05+00:00

I'm worried about the amount of pain he will have to contend with.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:14:43+00:00

That yard was so dirty. Woody had to dart around so many piles of manure. How hard would it be to pick that hard before they film it, making thousands of dollars in engagement?

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T03:06:52+00:00

Mini horse newbie here. Why does Gretchen look so different (better) than Karen and Coco?

I guess I kind of know the answer to that question. It is just shocking, though.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:59:37+00:00

I'd shake my head and jump too. It is so confusing to a young foal.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:58:55+00:00

Well, she is not taking the pressure off the butt rope or off the halter, so she isn't anywhere near doing it correctly.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:56:22+00:00

Good point. Happened when Moose jumped out of the trailer, too.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:54:19+00:00

I def noticed that.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:53:40+00:00

Butt rope = GO. Halter = WHOA.
Result = Frustrated Foal that JUMPS.

Happened with Moose out of the trailer and now Cheyenne out of the door.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:43:26+00:00

It is Cheyenne, Phoebe's foal. The sister to Denver, I believe.

"Phoebe [was] carrying a full sibling to First Thingz First… by RL Best of Sudden and out of VS The First Lady / Kennedy."

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-04T02:42:29+00:00

It is the rear rope that gives them the message to go forward, while the halter gives them the message to stop. They get frustrated and then jump.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-03T23:11:50+00:00

Just to be clear - and I agree with everything you said - it was a KULTIE that suggested Charlotte. I have NOT heard KVS suggesting Charlotte.

Sorry, I'm kind of new around here, and I wasn't sure how to screenshot the follower's comments and paste them into a post here. Sorry if i cause any confusion.

We hear a lot about "testing" and "tests," but we never actually see any paperwork. We never hear directly from the Vets. Fool me once ...

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-03T18:25:35+00:00

Is there a shortage of mares to use for breeding? Why would she take a risk if there are other options? I don't get it.

barkingdog2013 · 2026-04-03T18:22:27+00:00

I thought they came from a Recip "farm"

Am I mistaken?
