Acupuncture For Horses

Today they came into my stall and stuck lots of little needles in my back and it felt really good. I really like to be rubbed on and there was lots of that also, before and after the needles. My tight back felt more relaxed when I was working later. I hope they do this often!

Note from Linda: see the article about Horse Acupuncture for more information.

Importing a Stallion

If you would like to have your own stallion there is lots of information at Importing a Warmblood Stallion. You don't have to go to Holland, but we Dutch are very special!

Stallion Happiness

I love attention.

I love treats (especially peppermints!)

I love to have my face petted and rubbed. After I work it really feels good when she uses a warm towel all over my head!

I love to be groomed.

I love to roll in the nastiest pile I can find.

I love to have lots of activity all around me.

I love to rub on mares (but only if they stand still and don't try to kick me!)

I love to make soft nickers at the mares as they pass by.

I love children - they usually have treats and pet my nose.

I love to run and buck and show off when I am turned loose in my paddock.

I love to watch over my herd.

I love the smells of my farm.

I love to take naps.

I love the silly looking breeding phantom (as long as a real mare is next to it).

I love being a stallion!
