horses

I’m asking for a friend! My friend has three horses, and at the past week she found over a dozen dead birds in the water tanks. She said it’s like the Hitchcock film. She finds new dead birds in the horse’s water every day. Do you think there’s a problem with the water? The birds go to drink it...

Hello everyone! I wasn’t quite sure how to phrase the title, so if it’s confusing forgive me. So, a little over a year ago I bought a crossbred gelding at a large scale sale barn in Connecticut. No known history, other than suspected neglect at one point in his life. He is mid-late teens. When I...

I already have a general horse thread (that can be found here: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/horses.1529653/) but @OneHappyDuckie wanted me to start one specifically for genetics so here we are lol

Some questions for those of you familiar with keeping horses! Are they social animals that absolutely need a companion (aka can I get only one or do I need two)? We have soft, dirty sand for our soil here in FL and it/they would really just be on our property or maybe on our limerock road...

I’m sure there’s probably other threads on this but I absolutely love horses so I would love to see yours! As a kid, I read every horse book possible, watched every horse movie, etc. and was generally completely obsessed lol I’m sure I’m not the only one 🤣 I also used to ride off and on as...

So from time to time, there comes up various live stock or other farm animals for sale or rehome in my area. After learning of a pair of miniature donkeys, I was wondering about how of much a deterrent to predators might the entire horse family in general be? Does anyone have any experiences...

I didn’t see a thread on this so I thought I’d make one. I’ve always been fascinated by this sport and now I’m even more fascinated by it since watching A Knight’s Tale the other day hahah I’d seen it before but not in a while but yeah. I also went on vacation in June and went to a place called...

I started a flock thread before but no one posted on it so I'm trying again! I love talking about my chickens, I have over 120! I also love hearing about everyone else's flocks so join in! I just bought 8 new chickens and 2 still need names. Here's a Self Blue Ameraucana cockerel, any name...

Hey everyone! I know it’s been for ever since I’ve been on but I’m happy to say that I am back! My life has changed a lot since the last time I was one here. You know how I wanted to start jumping my horse? Well unfortunately I didn’t start that after all. But I am going to start barrel racing...

Hi everybody! Just thought about making a fun horse and pony thread. What can I say? Show off your horses and ponies!🤣 My Welsh pony. Her name is Swallow ( yeah I know a weird name for a horse).

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? No, we have had up to 35 at a time, started in 1993 but stopped just after our kids got in college. My daughter loved to bicycle with a favorite chicken she named, Petry (pronounced Peetree as in the dinosaur in "The Land Before...

Hey horse lovers! Here’s a thread where you can ask your questions, share your horses, tell us your horse stories and more! You don’t have to own a horse to talk in this thread but please don’t get horses off the internet and say they are yours. Thanks and welcome!!

I thought this would be a fun little thing, and I didn't see a thread when I looked (though I may have missed it!), but this one is dedicated to BABY and CURRENT pictures of our equine friends! Here's my little man, Crete, when he lived at the boarding facility he was born at... Versus now...
