I probably have about 1k horses that I show, but you have to remember they won't all be ready to show at the same time. I have never hit the show cap lol

I have at present 180 SD show geldings. They brought in 180k this week, which is about average for them.

Okay, thank you Capp.

Angel, I mean I get it, but the cap also makes sense and currently for geldings alone I have 152. But, I also show all of my horses right now.

I have around 950 geldings. I make show cap so thats enough for me
Cappuccino
12:42:57 Heyy it's Capp
And all my horses, regardless of sex, show.
Cappuccino
12:42:37 Heyy it's Capp
Theres a show cap of 1500 so *to me* it doesnt make sense having "extra" horses if youre hitting the cap. Some people do tho but it's too much for me. Im about 1100 horses total

More geldings = More money
so that is like asking how much money is too much XD
Angels angels

CWY
Never enough
CWY country
12:41:28 C
Now, a question I have though... When is enough is enough with geldings? Like with the amount of barns and amount of geldings XD. Or is there never enough?
Cappuccino
12:41:13 Heyy it's Capp
I guess since Ive got so many I dont really bother with them...the horses in the green offset any costs but without the offset....I get that
Angels angels
12:39:54 [1k+ brindles] Angel
Not enough for me to justify their riders fees lol
Cappuccino
12:39:53 Heyy it's Capp
OMG lol I get it...but I dont get it at the same time XP

(dont mind me I had to buy more barns because of questing too LOL)
Cappuccino
12:39:08 Heyy it's Capp
They make the most profit tho

With how many quests I do I have a huge army of geldings XD trying to downsize a bit lol
Angels angels
12:38:53 [1k+ brindles] Angel
9s are too expensive lol
Cappuccino
12:38:30 Heyy it's Capp
Why cull level 9s O.O
CWY country
12:37:49 C
Personally, if I find any ppp+ up in auctions I'll get them, but most of my gelding army has been produced through my own breeding.

It is good to know to cull level 9 and level 10's though, thank you angel and Ally.

Farriers May 16, 2025 11:28 AM

It's so incredibly hard to find a good farrier which sucks because good feet on a horse is everything.

I have had the same farrier for two years now, and at first he was great. My horse's feet look great, and all was fine.

Lately however my farriers quality has gone down. He has trimmed my OTTBs back feet so incredibly short that my vet was concerned, and he destroyed the feet of another horse for my trainers client. I have been looking for another farrier, but in my area there is a small pool and most of them don't show up for their appointments.

People just don't want to put in the work anymore, and it's frustrating.

Yikes... I started doing my own farrier work 12+ years ago for that very reason. I read lots of books, some being the ones you would read if you got the certificate. I don't trim other horses since I'm not a professional, but I'm the go-to on trail rides when someone gets a crack or needs a touch-up. My horse chiropractor is also an equine vet and she compliments my horse's hooves every time and asks for my farrier's info and then I remind her it's me =P I think she has the same problem you are having.

I couldn't tell you why farriers start to decline other than their age and physical health. It would make sense. I am incredibly sore after doing my two horses and the second horse usually has a slightly worse trim because I wear out in 90 degree temps.

I'm not sure where you can look for a different trimmer. I used to have a certified barefoot trimmer come from another state and split the travel fee with other horse people in the area.

Maybe check out "the horses hoof" site for trimmers in your area. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post directl links on here.
