Cloning your horse is no problem. But, don’t expect to register it with The American Quarter Horse Association any time soon. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans ruled today that The American Quarter Horse Association may refuse to register cloned horses. The ruling overturns a lower-court decision from 2013 that had…
Those white growths are most likely Aural Plaques. Aural plaques are benign, raised, crusty, white skin growths on the interior surface of the ear. If you see raised lesions, with a hard, scaly appearance, it’s probably aural plaques. You might also see rounded, knob like protuberances within the scaly area. If your horse is resisting…
A horse’s eyes are unique for several reasons. For starters, horses have near 360° vision. Ok, so maybe you knew that. But did you know that horses have bigger
Thanks to a Filly Fan responding to our post yesterday, we have more evidence that cowboy boots have become “urban chic” this year. Over the last couple of years, women across America were styling in their “riding” boots (even though 90% of them had probably never ridden a horse in their lives). It was actually…
The story we’ve been recently told about a “cowboy family” on horseback, riding through New York City’s Central Park, is so unique, that we felt compelled to dust off the old keyboard, look up our forgotten passwords, and fire off one more FillyGirl article! The story, as told to us by a first hand witness,…
An out-of-state visitor was driving his car along a back country road when he suddenly lost control and drove straight into a deep ditch. Lucky for him, a farmer happen to come along about 20 minutes later with his big old horse named Monty. The man asked for help. The farmer said, “No problem, Monty…
Someone got the best “My Little Pony” themed party ever! What theme would you have? Knight in shining armor (pony wearing full battle gear) for the boys? Cinderella or a unicorn for the girls?
So, how do you get a winless filly listed as a 110-1 long-shot to win her horse race? Simple…have a different horse run under her name. That’s apparently what happen in Ohio at Hollywood Gaming’s Mahoning Valley Race Course near Youngstown. In what is being ruled as a legitimate mix-up, a stable worker brought the…
In 2007 the Clairemont riding Academy, on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, shut its doors and horseback riding in Central Park came to a halt. Over the next several years (up until 2011), Riverdale Equestrian Center intermittently brought their horses down from the Bronx and offered rides by appointment. Currently, Central Park Horseback Rides…
Watch this video of a gorgeous gypsy pony playing in an open field with her friends. Look at this pony’s beautiful blonde hair and coat. If she were human, she’d be Daryl Hannah in her prime!
We’ve been seeing the same question popping up in forums over and over again now that the weather has turned “freezing cold” across the U.S. Horse owners are looking for an economical way to provide their horses with warm water and want a way to stop their horse’s water bucket from freezing. For some, it’s…
We’ve crunched the numbers, studied the field, and analyzed all the asses. Yes, we just said that! Ask Bob Baffert, the legendary horse trainer, what the first thing he looks at in a potential race horse. You guessed it… according to Baffert, in a May 2003 interview with William Nack in GQ Magazine, that’s where…
A dog in Georgia is believed to have been the second canine in the U.S. to test positive for the virus that causes COVID-19. The 6-year-old mixed breed dog was tested after its owners contracted COVID-19 and the dog began suffering from a neurological illness, the Georgia Department of Health said in a news release…
Every horse can make up to 50 pounds of manure every day! WOW! The problem (aside from shoveling all of it), is that the nutrients in manure and urine can get into the ground and surface waters, eventually rendering them undrinkable. On December 9th, from 7 p.m. to 8 p.m, My Horse University and eXtension…
A rancher was getting his monthly visit from his veterinarian, so he decided to ask him for some free advice. “I have a horse that walks normally sometimes, but at other times, he limps. What shall I do?”
No, this isn’t the opening line of a hilarious joke. This past Friday a Mississippi pastor dressed up a horse in a wedding dress! Why? To protest a federal judge’s ruling (currently on hold) to overturn the state’s ban on gay marriage. He stood outside the federal courthouse building with this horse who was not…
Cuba’s horse racing industry once flourished at the country’s only horse racing track, Oriental Park. Oriental Park Racetrack opened in 1915 and was operated by the Havana-American Jockey Club of Cuba. It was open during the winter months and many of America’s top stables brought their best horses to Oriental Park Racetrack to compete. It’s also…
No, we don’t think horses will be sporting fancy eye glasses (like the horse featured in this post) as a result of a study that’s gotten recent attention. Nor do we believe that the study, which found that two-thirds of horses have normal vision while the remainder of horses are either nearsighted or farsighted, will…
Is your horse looking a little scruffy these days? Is his normal 5 o’clock shadow starting to resemble ZZ Top (young folk, feel free to click the link if you don’t get the ZZ Top reference)? Well before you get out those trimmers, you should know that the whiskers on a horse’s muzzle have a name,…
There’s one question we keep seeing pop up over and over again… “should I clip my horse’s hair in the winter?” Now if you ask that question to three different equestrians, you will probably get three different answers, and rightfully so. Why? Because it really does depend on your particular situation. The factors to consider…
