My old horse, 28, that I’ve had longer than any horse I’ve had for 22 years, has survived a strangulating lypoma, has had cushings and been hard to manage with it for 15 years, and now, finally, chronically laminitic. He has no radiographic changes but has hoof wall separation and needs oral pain meds twice a day.
The ideal management for a horse like him - we all know - is dry lot, feed low sugar OR if he gets to go out grazing muzzle. When he was younger I managed him such. But this year, when I turned him out for his 2 hours with grazing muzzle with his friends he pinned his ears and walked away from the herd. After 2 days if this I thought what the hell am I doing? He’s an old horse, with some level of chronic pain despite my best efforts, and his greatest joy is just being a horse with the young ones. So now, he comes in at night when the sugars are lowest but when the bugs are the worst, he’s had terrible sweet itch for years, and he goes out during the day with the kids - no muzzle. He’s happy…. When he’s no longer happy I will let him go to cross the bridge but I’ll at least know he lived a happy life as he described it to me. Sometimes it’s a balance between ideal medical care and ideal horsemanship. They can’t live forever but we can make their time with us as good as it can be for them if we try.
Kjanu - you are the best old horse ever.

Yes - I breed horses. Norwegian fjord horses now and warm bloods in prior years. But I advocate here not for horse breeders but for dog breeders.
PLEASE - help breeds survive and support a breeder.
Re Dogs - Like it or not there are no cross bred or mutt registries. Yes, you can find great individuals but the breeder of a pure bred has a good idea of what the offspring will be like.
And … no…. Poodles are NOT hypoallergenic they are as hypoallergenic as ANY haired dog that does NOT shed! Sooooo a poodle-mutt is equally not hypoallergenic.
You do NOT always get what you pay for. I hear wild stories of the cost of mutt puppies but do you know who charges less per puppies but has way more financial investment in puppies? A purebred dog breeder! Vet checks: hips, elbows, eyes and more not to mention showing the dog to make sure it holds up to a standard and of course showing the dog in performance sports too.
Enough of the Poo-crap. It’s NOT a poodle, it’s NOT a breed!
Education is power - save a breed save a breeder.

Footnote’s Maximus 2018 gelding Lisa x Mogly 13.3 hh ONLY to approved home that I know or a that a good friend knows. Will not go to 3day or dressage home. Footnote horses - especially this one - will only go where there is a fun life of variety to be had.
Max rides, drives 2 and 4 wheel vehicles and has been driven as a pair, he is trail vehicle and obstacle proof, jumped just a little.
Intention was to show driving (CDEs) but there are no driving shows anywhere within 10 hours and I can’t justify waiting for opportunities….
This one breaks my heart to consider selling so Please NO comments - PM only!!!
NO tire kickers and the $25k CAD is not negotiable. If you know a Footnote horse - you know a great horse.
Videos and Photos available of course.
Sound and great conformation but PPE welcome.
