How do you teach your horse how to canter?
in
I have a young standard bred....ex harness racer...and he knows how to canter but i dont know to get him to canter...any suggestions?
Answer:
I suggest you try in a practice ring. Start with a walk, then a trot. If you are going to the right, you look over the horses right shoulder, give a couple of taps with the LEFT heel, and a couple of "clicking sounds. He should canter, if he doesn't, stay with it until you accomplish what you want. This method also forces the horse to use the correct lead. If you are going to the left, you glance over the left shoulder, and give a couple of taps with your RIGHT heel. Remain calm, but determined. It should work. I assume you know to hold your reins in your left hand in a controlled manner.
How to report animal abuse at a pet store?
in
I live in Sebring FL and my local pet supermarket has been abusing their small animals. I spoke with the manager and she blew me off, told me she did not care, and raiser her voice at me. I sent a message to the main pet supermarket at customerservice@petsupermarket.com. I tried to call but no one answered. How else do i go about reporting this? Is there like a ASPCA in my area? I looked on the ASPCA web page, but did not find much.
Answer:
Keep emailing and keep calling their corporate. Complain about the manager. If you can get their regional managers number and complain. Get your friends and family to boycott the store. Yelp (the website) and Google sometimes have store reviews. Post what you see there and what the manager did. If you got her name include that too in your post. Call or email ASPCA. Take pictures of the abuse.

How to tell if your neighbor is poisoning my horses?
in
Well whenever one of my horses is sick I blame the neighbor or some person 10 years ago in my past. I want to find out if they are actually poisoning my horses. I've set up cameras, and I haven't been able to catch them, so I now believe that the vet i'm paying money to fix my horses, is really hurting my horses.
Answer:
That is terrible of you to blame other people when you have no proof. Is it just stupid to blame people from 10 years ago. Have you ever considered the fact that YOU may be the one poisoning the horses? Have you ever even bothered to ASK the vet what's wrong with them? What are his opinions? No vet would poison an animal. It takes a lot of work to be a vet and no one who hates animals is going to toil through years of training.
I think you are the one making your horses sick. Stop feeding them crap and remove poisonous plants. Change their water and take care of them. Your horses aren't going to get consistently sick if you treat them right. People like you shouldn't own horses.
