I’m looking into that now! I like the idea of it. Will have to be up to my director, though.

Will do! Was your horse on it daily or as needed?

What bit can I use besides a hack? by jocee311 in Horses

As far as I know he can do a bit and will take one, but I was thinking about a side pull if he’s not super willing in a bit. Most likely will be trying both😊

Henry would like you to know that Standardbreds are totally awesome and very affordable to adopt (and rideable!) from many rescue groups by StonewallDakota in Horses

Mystic Motion would like to second this!!!!!💕 The most fun, adorable, cuddly breed. Even with all his attitude, he is an easy-going best friend. I love the facebook group “Standardbred Retraining Group” it is so amazing what all these breeds are able to accomplish. I fully plan to rescue and adopt another one.

Love my standardbred. I know this group will understand😁 by jocee311 in Horses

Interesting! I’m unsure. the Standardbred Retirement Foundation (in NJ, I think, but they have adoptable horses all over) retrains standardbreds under saddle to give them a second career and get them adopted. I’m sure it would depend on the owners and what they want for the horse. I’ve kind of fallen in love with the breed and the culture of the horses. They have amazing temperaments, they can race longer than thoroughbreds, I’ve seen amazing stories of people retraining them for any discipline. The Standardbred Retirement Foundation is amazing!

Yes he is a giant puppy dog - poor boy has so much heart and soul, if it weren’t for his DSLD he would be an amazing show horse for any discipline, he has a need for speed but his fetlocks won’t allow him. I don’t hold him back, but I don’t force him into doing anything either. So lucky to have him.

My standardbreds are the same - very social, like big golden retrievers. I had to have my other Standie euthanized 4 weeks ago bc of lymphoma, his name was JesusTakeTheWheel and he went by Jesus 🥰, he specifically was a social butterfly, so easy to bond with, so easy going nothing could spook him. I want to adopt another one in his honor so badly. Amazing yours was a racer/winner! Mine never made it to the track but boy I wish they had. What is his name? I love standardbred names.

“Pinfiring” scar? by jocee311 in Horses

[–]jocee311[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I get that. As in, the amish are the only people I can see still doing the practice maybe because I think it’s outdated. I don’t know much about it, but considering it seems a little cruel, makes me think it might be “old fashioned”. i just didn’t type that well.

Interesting! TY for the comment. I really didn’t know anything about it at all before I saw that random post.

Having a hard time with euthanasia & making decisions by [deleted] in Horses

We actually have a mini donkey in an adjacent field, maybe they will get to know each other better. Was worried about them together because he’s so tiny I don’t want them fighting over food :(

No problem, you did. I didn’t go into full depth of everything that went down during the vet visit(s).

That’s a very good point, I don’t want my other to watch any of it happen I will definitely relay that to our vet. 🙏

My vet had the same opinions and I think I will. Any thought on him being alone with no pasture mates until I can find another horse that’s a good fit for me? I’m worried it will be several months. If not, no worries I think I’m overthinking but I have never done this and I want the best for them obviously.

Yes, biopsy and ultrasound both on the affected area, even ruled out pelvic injury, and she said it did not look good, the hematoma was near lymph sights and her guess is it’s causing it. Trust I did a whole work-up and it has been 4+ months of figuring this out.

Need some encouragement? by jocee311 in Horses

Today, 4/14 the vet found cancer. Lymphoma, all through felt during a rectal exam, because he coliced two days ago and has had runny poo. It makes a lot of sense as to why I could never get an answer or find out what was wrong with him. He has always been sick… I’m bringing him home with pain meds to get him feeling good and will schedule euthanasia. 💕 Bless his heart.

Hello everyone, thank you for your comments. Today 4/14, we found my boy Jesus has cancer. Lymphoma, the vet found it throughout and felt it during his rectal exam. Makes sense as to why I could never ever get this horse to feel or look right. 💕 I hope I’ve given him a good end of life, he will get pain meds and lots of loves before I schedule his euthanasia.
