one thing i noticed was that when he pooped, it didnt crumble, it wasnt watery either though, it was like uncooked brownie mix…its hard to describe. im not sure if that is something that is a bad sign (i know its not good, but i dont know if there is a simple cure to whats wrong with him…if anything). also, his hooves werent rounded, they were more like rouded squares…..is that bad????? i LOVE ths horse, but i want to make sure he is healthy before i go and buy him.. before i go and buy him id bing my current trainer for input and id have a vet check him out, but i dont want to pay a vet to come with me if i already know he wouldnt be a healthy horse to buy. i want to know if he is healthy or not and what the health issues (if any) are. i normally wouldnt look into it this hard, but im already attatched to him!!!!!

My horse is constantly cribbing, i have read about how many health problems that can cause him, and i’m starting to get worried. I tried one of those cribbing collars, but hI don’t want to leave that collar on him 24 hours a day… are there any other options?

? asked:
If I gottan ask I cant afford it? As if.. The only reason I’m asking is so I can give the price to my mom when I ask her for a horse.. Why would I ask if I didn’t think I would be able to pay more than a few thousand a month?
