Comment by Jeanne Kerstiens on November 25, 2012 at 10:55am: HI! I'm new to Barnmice and this group!! I have 4 thoroughbreds(ages 12-31) and I have an appaloosa! Three of the four TBs are off the track, including the 31 year old. I ride mostly dressage these days and pleasure ride. I have foxhunted and evented(low level). My 31 year old, Chocolate, has done all of it. I don't think he raced all that well but he's been a great all around horse for me.

Comment by Kinni P on April 14, 2010 at 4:37pm: I'll bet he does! I like to add apple cider vinegar to my chicken and goat waterers, but I haven't tried it with the horses yet. I imagine they'd like it. Frankly, anything that keeps them drinking in this heat is good stuff in my book.

Comment by Cary Andrew Penny on April 14, 2010 at 4:07pm: He really loves apple juice in his water, can't get enough.

Comment by Kinni P on April 7, 2010 at 8:25am: I've found some of them like the beer and some of them just don't. I had one who would grasp the can in his teeth and drink.

Comment by Cary Andrew Penny on April 7, 2010 at 7:54am: My thoroughbred "Jett Blue" had his 11th birthday yesterday so I decided to celebrate and buy him a beer. He thought I was posioning him and wouldn't touch it even though I have always been told that horses love it. Maybe I'll try a Guinness next time....

Comment by Stephanie Blanchard on March 24, 2010 at 4:28pm: I was wondering if anyone knows about a stallion by the name of Line In The Sand from Farnsforth Farms in Florida?
