It can't be tall (Yeah! - I'm short.), but it still needs to keep up with my brother's quarter horses in the heat, working for a living (just like me). Also, it needs to be perfectly solid colored, because the sun here causes problems on horses with any white on them (appys, paints, ect..) Even sorrels get skin cancer and die young here.
I have had 15 BLMs(4 were really good horses, and 1 was even some-what sane after 12 long, careful years of training), 3 Arabians(all were what you call "spirited"-LOL, and all had genetically bad teeth, health %26amp; allergies), 2 "Quarter Ponies"(bad health %26amp; lameness), 1 Quarter/Welsh cross( terrible health, allergies %26amp; lameness), and 1 Icelandic (loved him, but he couldn't take the climate). Please - all those can be wonderful - but they were NOT for me.
Someone sugested a buckskin South American Corrillo (spelling?), but those are very rare. Is there any other breed already in the US that you know of that could be a good friend, and working partner?
I looking for a horse to buy, but it needs to be tough, econonical, and 13 to14hh. What breed should I get?
Don't look at the breed. Look at the horse. BLMs usually do great- I have worked with one and know of 10 others- completely sane and dependable mounts.
Plus, if all of your horses get lameness issues, it is probably something you are doing.
What I suggest is getting a horse from a stable that raises their foals outside. We got 12 or so of our horses from some old lady up in MN- the mares and stallions were relatively tame, but the foals have never seen a person before. We would have to rope them to get them in the trailer and then tame them, but we have never had any healthy problems and they were very sure footed, and ended up practically bombproof. The breeds were drafts crosses and reg. QH and Paints.
I would just suggest getting a shorter QH- we were looking for a QH, and most that we find are around 14h, when we needed at least a 15h.
Reply:Haflinger or Fjord.
Reply:How about a Haflinger or Haflinger cross? They are like miniature Belgians, steady and gentle, and very strong.
Reply:All of the breeds you mentioned as owning are proven good breeds. If you are having problems getting them to "last", perhaps it's not the breed but how hard you are riding them, and how well you are taking care of them. Not trying to flame you, but if what you report is correct then your luck with horses is non-existent. ATV's may be best your bet. They never colic, they are short so easy for you to mount, economical and relatively cheap to feed.
Reply:You sure are a picky varmint. If you have had that much trouble with that many breeds of horses, I would tend to look at something other than the horse breed as being the problem. I have had horses my entire life and never had the kinds of problems you are talking about with any of them.
Reply:Mustangs! They are loyal, hardworking, versatile, smart, easy to take care of, live in all kinds of weather, and you can find them in just about any color you want. I have a little mustang gelding from Nevada and he's really sweet and calm. He was trained on the ground (no riding), but he is still the sweetest and most bombproof horse we have. Also, they come in the size you want too.
Reply:Who are you buying your horses from??????
Does the vet check your horses? Quarter Horse in my opinion is the best horse for work and there are some that are short. ITake care of it
Reply:ever looked at a Dodge
Reply:where the hell do you live?
Reply:The sun can't cause that much problem--Texas is know for cowboys and sun and heat and their horses don't drop like flies. A sorrels skin is black same as a bay or black and it can't just be the color of the hair that causes the "cancer". A lot of white esp. on the face can burn and blister but I think the rest is bull. POA's are smaller and if your so bent on no color some are just a roan or almost solid. Mustang crosses can be small tooand are tough little buggers-I have 2 right now and both can keep up with my Arab but not for distance--more like a quarter horse.
Reply:You need to get a 4 wheeler. It is short, works hard, can keep up with your brothers horses in the heat, is easier to maintain and will not have all of the health issues you have described. Good Luck.
Reply:go look at dreamhorse.com horsetopia.com equine.com equinhits.com equine now.com net equine.com I would go with a quater horse or arabian quater cross they are so sweet
Reply:sounds like you need a better vet. quarters are know for hardyness, i have a friendly girl myself. she's sweet but she works hard. if you've gone through that many horses maybe you need to move to city and work behind a desk.

How do I get a replacement setup CD for a SpeedStream 5100?
I've talked to AT%26amp;T tech support two weeks ago. Tech said he was sending it out, but we never received the CD. I need a replacement CD for the SpeedStream 5100 send to Gerald Peck, 412 Sorrel Lane, Red Oak, Texas 75154
How do I get a replacement setup CD for a SpeedStream 5100?
You really don't need to Install that CD you are much better off to manually enter the settings you need.
If you are unsure then re contact the tech and have them walk you trough the set up and write it down for the next time you might need it.

Im tottaly clueless about my 3 horses, some one help?
Last may my dad bought me 2 horses, but since I have had them, 1 has a philly so now I have 3.
But i'm pretty clueless when it comes to horses, I dont even know how to ride (well, not very good).
Anywho, I have noticed that the face of my sorrel quarter horse (Katy) is becoming darker, almost black %26amp; the same goes for her philly. The weather lately has been up in the 100's, could that be it??? Anyone, please answer but only if you know about horses.
Another question is: Do any of you know how to regester a philly? she was born in March.
Also taking suggestions on horse care. Like I said before, I don't really know anything about horses.
Im tottaly clueless about my 3 horses, some one help?
it means she is getting sun burned and will die
Reply:Horses can get sunburned, if you're concerned, or they seem uncomfortable you can try buying fly masks for them, the material also blocks out some of the sun. Horses need a lot of care. I suggest you go to an online book store or your library and get out some books on horse care. Be wary of older books that emphasize force in training--it's traumatizing to the horse and no fun for you either. Your goal is for your horses to trust you and also to respect you. Work with the filly every day, just going out to the pasture and petting her, feeding her, etc. will make for a good relationship between you two. Consider getting a subscription to a good horse care magazine and check out Pat Parelli's classes on horsemanship. Take riding lessons, getting your 'seat' so that your riding is comfortable for your horse takes time. Also don't be ashamed if you're just not that into riding. Riding at a walk on trails can be wonderful without mastering the posting trot, lead changes at canter, etc. If you enjoy just being with your horses in the pasture, you'll be a wonderful horse owner. There are lots of people who are only interested in riding competetively, and not in getting to know their horses. There are also a lot of horse lovers out there unable to own their own. Consider yourself lucky!
Also, I'm assuming the mare was bred when your Dad bought her. If not, get your stud gelded, raising horses is a big task for anyone and you'll have enough excitement with just this filly.
Reply:Filly...not philly.
Reply:so why again do you have horses....... i'm a little lost
Reply:you dont know how to ride..........yet your dad bought you 2 horses.....WTF
Reply:you might want to give them a bath and apply some sunscreen to any white areas since that's mostly where they will burn also if they are bunt aloe works wonders. also make sure you brush them a lot and be nice to them i suggest you read up on them some on the net at the library and you can even call your local vet
Reply:Wow. That's not a good situation. Raising foals take a LOT of experience, not to mention just owning any horse. Well, first off, you have a filly, not a philly, unless your horse gave birth to a cheesesteak. Your horse's faces might just be dark from sweating. Registering your filly might be a problem if you don't have the papers from the breeding and such. Contact the national breed club for your horses. (Like if they are quarter horses, the AQHA, or Tennesee walkers, the TWHBEA)
I personally feel the smartest thing for you to do is join your local 4H horse club. Call your local ag extension office for info aobut meetings and locations. You really need to learn as much as you can to care for your horses wisely, humanely, and safely. Horses aren't just big dogs. E-mail me if you want help finding places for you to learn.
Reply:First is a FILLY.
Second, you need someone to actually teach you. GO to a professional and take lessons on your horse. You really started backwards in all this and should of been somewhat knowledgable first and then bought your horses.
Horses don't come with instruction books, so its your job to be knowledgable when you have them, preferably before.
Go take lessons, best thing you can do. IF you dont have the money, sell the horses.
As far as color change, who knows. Could be shedding out, could be sun burn, could be anything. If your that worried a vet visit would be extremely beneficial at least for no other reason to make sure you are properly caring for your horses needs.
Reply:u do sound pretty clueless. i love horses, and their coat color can change through the seasons. usually in the winter they go dark and in the summer they are bleach by the sun, which is wierd. if you havent already, ask ur dad, or the breeder where u got them. it would be smart to go to a vet, and get them to check them out. it may just be a female thing, beacuse it is mother daughter. phillies do change colors when they are young.
Reply:well i have a horse and his color has goten darker only because of sweat, the sweat can dry up and make it look darker but it also turns white after a while if you dont groom him.but what you should do is go some place and learn how to ride and take care of horses. look on the internet for somewhere close to you.im not sure how to register a philly. but do u even no how to proberly groom him? and brush him tail from top and slowly work down doin sections at a time so the hair wont come out??????? if you have anyyyyy questions be really free to email me at fatlouly@yahoo.com i will answer anything.

I want to know if it is natural for older horses to shed down to their skin.?
She is a registerd QH mare, and 22 years of age. I got her from some people who jst had her as a pasture buddy. I got a gelding with her, and he isn't shedding like she is. Rio, as we call her, is a sorrel mare, but is shedding to what seems to be her skin. I want to know if this is normal for older horses. I have 3 other horses, and none of them are doing this, but are also younger, so I think that it is an older horse thing. We have all of the horses on Flax seed also, to improve their coats, just because all of them are rescued and have terrible skin and coats...Thanks for anything.
I want to know if it is natural for older horses to shed down to their skin.?
maybe if the skin is to old but never heard about this
☺
Reply:No age should not have anything to do with it( I mean it would not cause it but the horses immune system might be not as good as a younger horse) I have had horses live into their 30s and they had great coats with proper nutrition. It could be rain rot, usually horses who are kept outside in all weather with malnutrition get it. Bathing, brushing and good nutrition go along way.
Reply:I dont think that is normal I would call the vet because when the horse sheds it could be a sign of a disease I'm not positive but U should prob call the vet
Reply:Check with your vet. Age shouldn't cause a horse to lose all of its hair. Other factors that COULD cause it include hormonal imbalances, nutritional deficits and a myriad of skin conditions.
A call to your vet should be free, and you can discuss regional factors, such as low selenium levels, that would pertain to your particular region. He may have some insight if he's seen a lot of similar cases in your area.

Can a 15 year old girl legally own a horse?
The reason I'm asking is because of my nephew got this beautiful sorrel and white stud colt and wants to keep it a stallion, but his parents wont let him. If she can't own him, what are some tips for keeping him a stud or finding some ways to change her mind, etc.?
Can a 15 year old girl legally own a horse?
Horse owner I was and have been for years. Yes they can. But now there is a new question-is the horse on his own land--no. Is there a safety feature-yes. Is there an insurance problem for the parents-yes. He can own it but his parents have every right to say no to anything that pertains to their land and safety and cost.
Reply:It is legal to purchase many things prior to the age of 18 perhaps even a horse. However, persons under the age of 18 are not legally recognized as "owners" of real property regardless of whether they paid for it or not. Their parents or legal guardians are recognized by the courts as the "owners" of any real property purchased by them.
Reply:a stallion is not the kind of animal for a young person ,they are very dangerous and need a very strong hand to control them
why do you think everybody gelds their horses
a very experienced horse handler got his hands full with a stallion .
what happens if she goes out riding and the horse jumps over cars (denting them)maybe knocks a by stander over ,to get to a mare he likes or a horse he wants to beat up
is your´re friend insured
keep the stallion in a very secure corral to start of with.
As far as ownership is concerned ,i think a 2 month old baby can own a horse if someone has given it to him
everybody can own a horse ,if they got the place for it
if they should is something else
Reply:If your nephew is a girl then someone is lying to you as this never happens. Girls can be nieces but not nephews.
Anyway He/she should listen to the parents instead of trying to go against them.
They have the responsibility to protect him/her from his/her own ignorance.
If the child doesn't understand the dangers of keeping a horse he/she shouldn't have one.
Reply:No you cant own anything legally until you are 18. The parents are in charge.
Reply:I think it is fine but check with the court house.

Anyone familiar with horse color genetics?
I had a filly born last night that is 100% white with pink skin and blue eyes. All the skin is pink, no color markings anywhere. The sire was a black and white tovero (about 80% white), and the dam is a sorrel paint with only about 15% white on her, both sire and dam have blue eyes. What are the chances of a pure white, pink-skinned foal being born? Just curious.
Anyone familiar with horse color genetics?
I'm 99.9% sure it's impossible for your foal to be cremello. The genes don't work that way, a black horse and a chestnut horse can't produce a horse with two copies of the cream gene since they have none of that gene themselves. It is possible for a horse with a black base color to have one dose of the cream gene and still look black (since in the single dilute form cream doesn't really affect black), but your foal would still have to get the second dose of the gene from somewhere and it's not going to be coming from the dam. So basically, if your foal turned out buckskin or palomino, this would make sense, but not cremello.
Therefore your options are these: either a maximum expression paint, or lethal white. If it's lethal white, well, you'll know since the foal will not survive. If the foal is healthy, that rules that out. What pattern is your mare? If she's overo, than lethal white is a definitely possibility. If she's not, then you have nothing to worry about.
It's totally possible for a paint to be solid white, it's happened before. It's just the maximum expression of the gene that causes paint markings, it's so extreme that it completely covers the body.
This website has a picture of a maximum expression paint (scroll down to the bottom of the page) along with more information on the difference between lethal white and cremellos, :
http://www.doubledilute.com/lethalwhite....
Reply:Paints can produce cremellos, though from a black and white horse it would be unusual. That horse must not have had a dominate gene with Black. It is totally possible that it's a cremello horse. I'm almost sure it's a cremello. Congrates.
Reply:hey well firstly congrats!!! and ooo did u no that bay foals are first born white then they go dapple and then bay!!! its like that whith lippazannas they are born bay then go dappled and then white... she is olny a day or say old so dont stresss bout if if u are worried call in a vet to check it out but im sure its fine
and remeber it may not have been a high percent chance of her being white but there is always theta chance!!!
enjoy her
Reply:Well she could possibly be pure white when she is older, but there is a 50% chance that she'll change color as she grows. (Trust me I'm a horse expert!)
Reply:Sounds like a cream horse. Happens with paints. Its not unusual.
Reply:Now that I see your horse does have overo in its lines it is even more likely that it is a lethal white. I hope not be it sure sounds like it could be. Please let us know what happens.
Reply:After seeing this post about the type of horses bred, it is deffinitly more likely to be a lethal white. To the person that stated it could be a cremello: this is a good thought, and could be possible, but is very unlikley. A cremello foal is slightly colored, they have a hint of creme to their color. Also any white markings are visible on a cremello, you can tell the difference between a star on its head to the rest of its body. A lethal white is pure white, with no visible markings.
A cremello would be very unusual out of these two parents. Having an all white, non lethal white is possible, although it is rare.
