    We are all about raising and training our horses, the Missouri Foxtrotter. Our goal is to bring awareness to this breed and showcase just how wonderful they are! We also raise and train our working border collie dogs. And don’t forget the homesteads sheep, goats and mini cattle!!! We also go to occasional auctions and recently have gotten into regenerative farming/agriculture. We are all about learning how to improve our fields/soil.
    Phew! That’s a lot! But we love it! Make sure to subscribe to our channel to follow along!

    Of course, you have to make sure they get their medicine! If your child didn't want to go to the dentist you would have to make them, or their teeth would rot out. Some people think that we all get to do whatever we want and should never be told NO and that is exactly what's wrong with the world today. Those mares getting good exercise up until the day they foal is exactly what they need. Human woman should exercise until the day they deliver as well. Don't worry about the trolls. I am sticking with my initial claim that Chablis will foal first!

    I just love the idea of these new babies coming lol! I like how you clarify about riding too, I mean she's a small girl and only took her that far. It's not like she took off full canter for half a mile. I know some people ride them preggers and some don't.

    I would assume working a horse until she is close would be a good thing. Staying fit would only benefit wouldn't it? When you talk about age to start (2 vs 5) could you also expand when continue work/training a mom after birth?

      We got his weight back on, and because of that, he became totally devoted to me. It was our vet who recognized he was a paso Fino, and when he felt better, he broke out that gait one day on the trail. He was my baby named Bosco.
      All of my horses were also sold the same way and never heard from him again. Saddest day of my life.

    Hi JR. You are going to exhaust yourself mentally if you keep responding to some of these people. I recommend ignore, block, and delete "Shelley", and a few others. I know you and your lovely family are good Christians, but people like her will go from bad to worse if you encourage their trolling. Trust me, I speak from experience. It's clear from the condition of your animals, that they are well taken care of, and that you know what you are doing. I really enjoy your videos, and not just the ones about Oliver. I was actually watching before you bought him. ;-)

      Completely agree. Teach those who want to learn like we do cause those clowns are here trying to teach when they don't even know how to learn first. You sure can't teach what you don't know and saying not to force ANYONE OR ANYTHING to take its meds is like, right up top with THE DUMBEST bs anyone could ever even say no less actually believe. That's just pure insanity. I'm having to force my own self to even take my antibiotics correctly. He's exactly right. It's about what they NEED not what they WANT, as it is with everything and everyone in life. "You don't always get what you want, but you do always get what you need."

      The Missouri foxtrotter is a rare breed who’s numbers are down. They are highly sought after and have zero chance of going to slaughter. Also horse prices are so high that the slaughter pipeline is nearly a myth. Only desperately I’ll, injured or old horses are being bought for slaughter.

    Girl combing out tangled mane. You are doing that wrong. You hold above the knots and start at the bottom with a detangler and comb down in small sections. By holding above the knot you would prevent her neck from being yanked on. Much more kinder to the animal.

      She’s not being unkind to the horse. Horses necks are not that sensitive. Have you seen the way horses treat each other? These horses have a great life. It’s not necessary to be so critical.

      @@erikamilan5298 I disagree. What I have witnessed and heard in the video for the paint is wrong. Not good. Misuse of medications. If you care for a complete understanding of what I'm talking about I have left the comment in that thread explaing in detail. It concerns giving injectable medication by mouth that was designed to work for a slow worm kill via the bloodstream. When given in the way they went about it the worms all detach at once leaving thousands of pin holes in the GI tract. That leads to secondary infection and then toxins attacking organs, also the burning of the esophagus. This practice was studied at OSU. Greatly frowned upon. Further info in the other thread. In case you did miss in this video. Once again he worms a horse and also uses another product as a pour on. Oh his Vet said he could use the pour on. Ok. Did they tell them they also wormed by mouth with another product and maybe also did their sketchy bullshit. How much do you add up the liver of these animals have to process at the same time.? This guy likes to throw the kitchen sink at an animal and people who do not raise livestock and horses think it is fine because they are uneducated to the sleezy way these horse traders operate. I feel sorry for the horses in his care, not that he means bad, he might not. However facts are facts. I have spoken to the Lab that manufactures the product misused and received a full understanding that not right now but a bit further on that what was done does harm animals by basically frying the liver and contributing to an earlier demise. In livestock with a heavy wormload it is pretty fast actually.

      Shelly. You only saw the end of her getting the tangle out. With tangles like that you do whatever you can do get them out lol. Sioux stood perfectly still. I don’t think it bothered her at all, In fact. I think she loved the attention.

      @@homesteadhorsemanship The higher up the mane the more nerve endings and horses do feel the pulling. Next time watch the horse twitch when pulled on. Then observe some horses get off center and shift their weight to the right side from the left. Certain horses in that situation learn from any ground contact. What did it learn from that? Any action has a reaction and the horse being pulled on learned by shifting in the opposite direction to blow turns and vere off course and frustration sets in for the rider. The more frustrating it gets because nobody can figure out where it started at. There. Right there and children can also get their feet stepped on when a horse shifts it weight from someone pulling at gobs of mane like that from the midpoint to the poll. Try it my way and it will all comb out nicely.

    You are WRONG about lice not being transferred from one species to another. I have witnessed horse barns under Quarantine over chicken lice. Yes animals can even get worms that are not host specific and have them live for awhile before being shed. Why don't you do your research before making those ASSUMPTIONS.

      I didn’t say chickens. I was referring to the sheep and cattle. And the only reason I said that is because I did research it. We do not own chickens so I didn’t include them.
