ok, i have 3 questions. so me and my boyfriend went to this horseback riding place and my horse went nuts haha. like all the trails connected back to the trail to go back to the ranch or whatever, but anyways we got to that part and were gunna go onto this different trail but my horse wasnt going when i was pulling on the right reign thing and kicking it, it just kept flinging its head all over the place up in the air. so the guide person came over with his horse and tried pulling on the reigns to get it to go but it didnt work. then the horse just started like charging back to the ranch and i was pulling on the reigns and it wouldnt stop and since it was flinging its head all around both reigns got flung on the right side, so i felt pretty much screwed and like i was going to fall off but then it kind of just stopped but was still crazy haha. my first question though, why did it do that and whyyy didnt it like buck me off? i was so scared it was going to do that by the way it was flinging its head. oh, and the guy who worked there knew i had only ridden a horse once, and gave me the only stallion that was apart of the ridable horses. i am a girl and weigh 123 pounds i just dont see y i would get that horse and not my boyfriend or even that horse at all. so 2nd question, why would he do that? and third question, lets say i had already bought a horse and needed to keep it at somebody elses ranch or where ever, how much would it cost a month for everything that a horse needs?

Horses can get spooked really easily, especially in the woods. Something in the woods could have scared him, and once a horse gets spooked, theres no stopping it.
As for why you got that horse, im not really sure. That was pretty stupid and unsafe on the guides part to give you a stallion like that, especially if it was a younger horse. He should not have given you that horse if you ar an unexperienced rider. You should call the stable you went to and complain the the manager if you remember the guides name.
If you keep it at a boarding stable, it all depends where you live. Look on google or in the phone book for local stables. Dont just board a horse at a stable because its the cheapest in the area, because thats the type of service youll get for your horse, check out the stable, talk to people that board there, and make sure it is a good stable. Around my house, its about 600 dollars a month for board and feed, but that doesnt include vet checks, shoes, tack, and things like that which can run anywhere from 50-500 dollars a month depending on what your horse needs.. Horses are veryyy expensive.

i have had my hamster 1 day and she keeps making sneezing noises is this normal because of the smells around her or could it be something serious??? (link)

Hamsters, just like people can get colds. If it is cold in your house, he could have gotten a cold from it because usually pet stores keep them pretty warm. If your house isnt cold, i would suggest taking it back to where ever you bought it from, because it could have been sick when they sold it to you, and they should either give you a new one or treat it until its better, because it shouldnt be making noises like that.
good luck!

I dont think you need to take her to a vet. That would be a waste of money because they wont do anything. Theres nothing wrong with the kitten, thats just her instincts. What i did with my kitten was i always kept a squirt bottle full of a mixture of water and vinager(about 3/4 water, 1/4 vinager). And every time she bit or scratched me when i tried to pet her, i would spray her once with it. After a little while, she associated biting and scratching me with the smell of the vinager and the wetness of the water, and stopped. You have to pick her up and pet her as often as possible, and yea, you'll come out with scratched hands, but it will pay off after a little while.
If your worried about the vinager hurting the kitten, it wont at all. It smells really bad for them and they hate the taste of it. So when you spray her with it, she will want to lick it off because it will smell bad, and then she'll have to taste it when she licks it off. So eventually, she'll accosicate biting and scartching with that taste and smell, and not want to do it again. If you dont want to do vinager, just do straight water. It will take a little longer to train her, but she wont like getting wet, so she'll eventually stop.
The most imporant thing with this is petting and picking her up very often and spraying her every single time she bites you so its consistant and she will learn.
good luck and have fun with your kitten=]

well im 16 and i really want a dog, a small one like a scotty dog or something like that. we've never had one, i live with my mom and my 13 year old sister. it would be alone during the day cause of like work and school but im assuming thats normal. it could sleep in my room, and i know it's a big responsibility. i walk anyways so i can take it with me, and i can feed it and i already know how to clean up after it. my moms just worried about it being alone. i want one so bad, what are some ways i could convince her? and does anyone have any advice for first time dog owners?

Leaving dogs home alone for a few hours everyday is perfectly fine. My dog likes being home alone during the day so he can sleep=]. Crate training is a good idea for puppies that are going to be home alone during the day so they dont have accidents in the house and so they dont ruin anything in the house. This, http://www.hsus.org/pets/pet_care/our_pets_for_life_program/dog_behavior_tip_sheets/crate_training.html, is a great website all about crate training. After your dog has been home for the day alone or in his crate, he's going to need to go out for a walk to stretch his legs and get excersise, or if you have a good size, fenced in yard, you should let him run around for a little while.
Owning a puppy is hard work. You'r best bet is to get a puppy over the summer, so you can spend plenty of time potty training, leash training, bonding, and all that.
Also, as most people know, Frontline or a smiliar flea and tick preventer is pretty essential. A good bath should be given about twice a month, or as needed. A good brushing is needed around once a week for medium to long haired dogs.
But most of all, have fun with your dog=]. The companionship of a dog is like no other=]

this may sound mean, but it doesnt hurt the kitten or anything. keep a squirt bottle full of water handy, and whenever she scratches or bites you, spray her one time with it. cats hate water, so it gets the point across better than saying no if you do it everytime she bites, scratches, or does something wrong. ive done this with all my kittens, and they stopped after a few days of that. you could also mix a little bit of vinigar in the water because the dont like the smell of it, but it makes theyr fur smell bad lol
good luck!

how do you get parakeets to make some eggs? there are two couples in my big cage but nothing ever happened. its been years. (link)
|
do you have a nesting box for them? if you want anything to happen, you need to have a nesting box for each of the pairs. you also shouldnt keep the pairs in the same cage together, seperate them into two cages. are you sure there is two males and two females? there are tons of factors to look at when breeding birds. you should take them to a vet and see if they are breedable, health, and all that. this website, http://www.budgieplace.com/breeding.html, is very helpful.
good luck!

I taught my dog sit and lay down. How do I teach her to roll over? (link)
|
a good way to do it is to make her lay down, then hold her favorite kind of treat over her belly,far enough away from her head so she cant reach up and get it, and move it out in one direction away from her. make sure she doesnt get up to get the treat, but that she stays on the ground, because if she wants the treat bad enough, she'll have to roll over to get it. just like with the sit and lay down, it takes a longg time and a lot of repition. im not sure if that will work on all dogs, but thats how i taught my dog to roll over.
good luck and have fun with your dog!=]
