I'm looking for referrals for a horse trainer in Texas. Prefer close to Abilene, or Dallas/Ft Worth area (or at least close enough that I can go check on him). Am looking for someone to train and show a young horse in either WP, trail, western riding, etc. Wanting someone who will be quiet and not jerking on their mouth all the time. This is a really well bred gelding and pretty talented. So want to find a quality trainer. Anyone???? (Pic for attention!! One of my foals.)

Interesting read!

Car manufacturers know placing the power at the rear of the vehicle allows for better balance. Nearly all race cars are rear-wheel drive so that when accelerating from a stop, the vehicle’s weight transfers to the back of the car and provides increased traction.

Always be sure to check your pastures!

Plants are a common way for horses to become poisoned.
Toxic plants may be more common in your pasture than you realise.
Always inspect new pastures for toxic plants. Horses are more likely to eat toxic plants when they have little access to nutritious pasture.
Signs of plant poisoning in horses may include:
• Reduced appetite and colic
• Depression or lethargy
• High heart rate or laboured breathing
• Muscle tremors
• Neurological signs including staggering, falling over or blindness
• Skin irritations
What to do if you suspect plant poisoning in your horse:
• Seek immediate veterinary advice – give clear descriptions of clinical signs, videos of animals behaviour are very useful.
• Remove all access to area with poisonous plant present
• Check your feed and hay for mould or contaminating plant material
• Collect samples of the suspect plants or photos
