This is a dangerous way to haul your horses!
Leave the windows open if you have bars on them. Don’t let their heads hang out the window.

Advice from a trucker.
If this is how you trailer your horse on the drivers side, please stop it immediately. Yesterday made the 3rd time in recent years that I’ve had to put a semi in the ditch (maintained control, not wrecked) to keep from decapitating your equestrian friend with his head 3 1/2 ft. over the center line on a narrow road. Thank you!

Read , let it sink in, then read again :

“No. 1. Get your tack and equipment just right, and then forget about it and concentrate on the horse.

No. 2. The horse is bigger than you are, and it should carry you. The quieter you sit, the easier this will be for the horse.

No. 3. The horse's engine is in the rear. Thus, you must ride your horse from behind, and not focus on the forehand simply because you can see it.

No. 4. It takes two to pull. Don't pull. Push.

No. 5. For your horse to be keen but submissive, it must be calm, straight and forward.

No. 6. When the horse isn`t straight, the hollow side is the difficult side.

No. 7. The inside rein controls the bending, the outside rein controls the speed.

No. 8. Never rest your hands on the horse's mouth. You make a contract with it: "You carry your head and I'll carry my hands."

No. 10. Once you've used an aid, put it back.

No. 11. You can exaggerate every virtue into a defect.

No. 12. Always carry a stick, then you will seldom need it.

No. 13. If you`ve given something a fair trial, and it still doesn't work, try something else—even the opposite.

No. 14. Know when to start and when to stop. Know when to resist and when to reward.

No. 15. If you're going to have a fight, you pick the time and place.

No. 16. What you can't accomplish in an hour should usually be put off until tomorrow.

No. 17. You can think your way out of many problems faster than you can ride your way out of them.

No. 18. When the horse jumps, you go with it, not the other way around.

No. 19. Don`t let over-jumping or dull routine erode the horse's desire to jump cleanly. It's hard to jump clear rounds if the horse isn't trying.

No. 20. Never give up until the rail hits the ground.

No. 21. Young horses are like children—give them a lot of love, but don't let them get away with anything.

No. 22. In practice, do things as perfectly as you can; in competition, do what you have to do.

No. 23. Never fight the oats.

No. 24. The harder you work, the luckier you get."

Shortly after putting the United States on the podium Thursday, April 18, in the Longines FEI Jumping World Cup Final, Chromatic BF collapsed and died in the stabling area, the Fédération Equestre Internationale has announced.

Someone needs a home asap.

Update: this sweet boy has officially been ADOPTED! 🎉

After careful consideration and speaking with multiple applicants, Big Foot found his match! Once all plans are in place, he will be headed to his new home!! We will post an update when available. Thank you all for sharing his story and loving this boy as much as we do!

Thank you to all of you who reached out to adopt. Please know that it is very important to all of us to find the right match for each shelter animal. We hope you will consider adopting one of the other amazing pups looking for their forever home, too.

Update: Big Foot has a lot of interest! The shelter has received a ton of applications over the last two days and MANY voice mails. Please be patient as they make their way through in deciding on the best fit for Big Foot and a his new home. The shelter wants to do what is best for everyone, last thing they want is for him to be returned or end up at another shelter. We promise to keep everyone updated! Thank you for all the comments, shares, and concern!

Update: As of this evening, Big Foot had no meet and greets today. He did spend the day in our bonding room to decompress while waiting for potential adopters. We tested him with other dogs again and he did much better! Still hoping for his forever home soon.

It’s been a struggle to watch Big Foot decline over the last few months. We’ve posted him several times, and sadly, he’s had very little interest.

His story is quite simple. He came to the shelter no fault of his own after his owner was placed in an assisted living care. She loved him and worried about him. We promised to do our best to find him a home. So far, we have not succeeded.

The shelter is not ideal for any animal, but some have a harder time than others. And Big Foot has really struggled to adjust. He is lonely. He feels lost.

He was surrendered to the shelter with other dogs, but stress has taken a toll on him, and recently, he has not tested well with other dogs. So at this time, we would recommend an only dog home. At least until he can regain his confidence.

We don’t make ‘desperate pleas’ often, but it is becoming too hard to watch his days filled with sadness. So we are asking that if you are looking for a pet, please consider giving Big Foot a home. He just wants someone to love.

Tift Co. Animal Shelter

King Charles, a Thoroughbred born in 1937. Grandson of Man O' War, King Charles played the horse The Pie in National Velvet. Trained as a hunter and owned by a wealthy socialite, he was offered for use in the film. At the end of filming, the horse was gifted to Elizabeth Taylor, who fell in love with the horse prior to and during production and was an accomplished rider, on her birthday and remained with her the rest of his life.
