His body is bony and his stomach is big! ? http://horse--1.com/2009/10/05/thoroughbred/204/ http://horse--1.com/2009/10/05/thoroughbred/204/#comments Mon, 05 Oct 2009 10:26:21 +0000 gitterdun http://horse--1.com/2009/10/05/thoroughbred/204/ Jessica W asked:


I recently rescued an ex-racing Thoroughbred, and I am having a very hard time putting weight on him evenly and getting it to stay on. I have never had a Thoroughbred before, and I don’t know much about feeding for a specific purpose. I have him on a mixed grain and a high protein pellet. And he has been wormed twice already. Any suggestions?

He is a Quarter Horse gelding, bay, and his registered name is Zippos Transclusion. I just want a unique, one word stable name.
I know many horses named Bob, Sue, and Zipp/Zippo. I want something new or rare.

I need a new show name for my horse.
He is a chestnut thoroughbred gelding. white blaze, white sock. 16.1hh. a bit stocky.
His current registered name is INXS, and stable name is Paddy. I dont want Paddy or anything Irish in his show name. I want it to be something powerful. I wanted to have Deja Vu but that name is already taken.
I need ideas. 10 points best answer!!
Help!

i am 17 (almost 18), and i am really wanting to adopt a horse!!! i have loved horses ever since i can remember (and tho i have never ridden one, i am going to start taking lessons soon). i am going to be taking on an extra job to help get money to take care of the horse. can anyone give me any information on caring for a horse?? or any good websites!! please help as i would like to know as much as i can so i can give a horse the best possible life!!
(i don’t live on a farm, but there is a stable within 10 minutes of my house, and i have already looked into the pricing). on average, per month, how much does it cost to care for a horse? the boarding would be 465/m, other than that, how much does it cost?
thank you in advance to any one who can help!! :-)

i have always loved animals and farming is in my blood. i’ve had a few experience with horses and i do know a lot about agriculture. but there is a problem. my parents are not rich at all and my mom never realy beleived i could get my own horse because we live in a niaborhood but there are plenty of stables around us. although i havent been around a horse much in 2 years i still believe a horse is what i really really want. but im 15 and broke!

So people give their horses names, then stable names, and show names.
Why not keep it to its regular name?

Im just curious. What are the names for?
so if i named one comanche, would it HAVE to have a show name to make it longer?
