Trail Obstacles
MCMURF2 asks: "I set up trail courses and judge them at the open shows locally and was wondering what people have been up against at shows. Not talking about the bridge, gate or walk over logs or any of the basic 'musts' of the course, but the new and unusual tries."

Apple Cider Vinegar
I have heard that Apple Cider Vinegar is helpful for the horse's immune system and keeping flies and other bugs at bay. Has anyone else heard of this? How true is this? How much would I start giving my TB (16.2h)?
