  • Imagine having a website where you can head to your own computer any time of the day or night and make a few changes to any page on the site, or upload a new photo to show a different angle of your colt to a prospective buyer. Without any programs to buy. Easy & Fun. Even for computer novices.

Photo Contest Photo

The new image at the top of Northernhorse.com is from our 2009 Spring Photo Contest Winning photo by Anne Switzer. Anne received a Tim Hortons gift certificate for $50.00 for submitting this photo. It was difficult to find an image to balance the other side of the photo to use it as the Northernhorse.com header. I [...]

Wild Pink Yonder

I’m always surprised at how often I will run into folks who haven’t heard about some event that I thought everyone knew about. I ran into a neighbour who hadn’t heard of the Wild Pink Yonder Ride that is coming up in just over a week.  Starts July 4th, Cochrane, Alberta. Maybe because my sister-in-law and [...]

Horse Flies

Wikipedia says: The bite from a larger specimen is extremely painful, especially considering the light, agile, and airborne nature of the fly. Unlike insects which surreptitiously puncture the skin with needle-like organs, horse flies have mandibles like tiny serrated scimitars, which they use to rip and/or slice flesh apart. This causes the blood to seep out [...]

Free Draw To Be a CowHand

Well this looks like a lot of fun. A whole day of  living the Life of a Cowboy in a beautiful mountain setting. You can even extend your visit for an extra day or two if you would like. 200 cow-calf pairs on 63,000 acres. An incredible experience from which you will take home memories [...]

Trucks

I hardly know a Ford from a Chev and couldn’t tell you what kind of truck any of my neighbours drive – I might know the color. And now I am faced with having to get a different truck to pull my horse trailer. I need some advice from some of you with trailer hauling [...]

Stallion Longevity

We have had a request for information about the longevity of a stallion to provide stud services. The person making this query would really like to know if anyone knows of a professional or scientific source of this kind of information. She would like a source with some sort of documentation. She would like US [...]

Draw for Rights of Passage Tickets

The winner is Debbie with her suggestion of using mineral oil. Does everybody know about mineral oil already? Plain old mineral oil you get at the drugstore, for keeping wounds moist and keeping flies out. As long as the wound is not infected a coating of mineral oil twice a day will keep the flies away [...]

Photo Contest Winner

The winner of our 2009 Spring Photo Contest is #499 – Anne Switzer is the photographer. Thanks to all of you for your entries. There are some really creative photographers in our midst. I am thinking we are all really ready for summer. I am going to call the next photo contest SUMMERTIME. Other than it [...]

Clinic Day 4

My brain is getting full. We have been given a nice selection of new resources to use when working with our horses. When you draw that circle in the sand and decide to teach your horse to do various things while she stays out of your circle but you stay in it, you have to broaden [...]

Clinic Day 3

Today we started with a bit of theory and some safety tips, then Jonathan talked a bit about saddles and tack. We practiced saddling the fence until we got pretty good at setting the saddles gently. Then on to saddling our horses and once again practicing the groundwork exercises to see if they respond the [...]

Clinic Day 2

We started the day with some very interesting demonstrations of how little energy it took to send a signal through a rope. If you have never done this you should give it a try. Attach a soft rope halter to a good quality lead rope – meaning a rope that has some life to it.  I [...]

Clinic Day 1

We started the morning with a bit of theory. Then we invited our horses in. I’m sure a whole lot about ourselves is revealed to a clinician as soon as we walk in with our horses. Keeper has been handled by me since birth. I intentionally brought her to the clinic because I knew she [...]

Taking Things for Granted

It wasn’t until 9:30 this  morning when after noticing that there were still no other people coming that I asked Randy “There are no people here – am I missing something?”. He smiled and said the clinic doesn’t start until tomorrow. Some folks should start showing up later today. I just took it for granted that [...]

Heading Out

So we had to get the trailer out of the quonset and get it loaded up with all the things I think I have to take with me on my little journeys.  Also had to find a few extra hours to get my work caught up ahead. Had it planned out to the hour when [...]

The Clinic

I’ve decided to take a clinic. It was weeks away when I signed up but somehow the time has arrived. I am a bit nervous. I have hardly been to any clinics. My horse, Keeper, hasn’t been out overnight without her boyfriends (the geldings), she hasn’t been in an arena (except for one rather negative [...]

Orphan Foals

I just posted a request for a Nurse Mare. The mom rejected the baby. That got me thinking that there have to be quite a few of you out there who have already raised an orphan and who have lots of knowledge you could pass along to anyone who has less experience. Even for myself, [...]

Didsbury Light Horse Show

I just put up an event listing for the Didsbury Light Horse Show. This show is in its 47th year and it is classified as a Bronze level Equine Canada show. Pretty darned good for a show put on by volunteers in a little Alberta town. What I found most interesting is that they have increased [...]

Horse Hauling

We don’t get a horse hauled very often but we saw that lots of folks just put an ad on the Northernhorse.com wanted section when they need a horse hauled so we thought we would do the same thing.  Douglas Horse Transport had a trailer going near to where we needed the gelding picked up [...]

$25,000 Reward

There are a lot of people who would like to find the sick person who has been shooting the wild horses and leaving them wounded to die. Some folks have put a substantial amount of money up to help in the cause. $25,000.00. Nice reward. One  private individual, the Alberta Equestrian Federation and the Innisfail Truck Ranch.  All [...]
