I have a pony who was started as a hunter, I've been trying to find her niche (she's not quite fancy enough over fences, but quiet and honest-a good PC candidate). She's very crooked, begs you to...

Wait, did I read that right, is this pony's mom "IDONTWANTTO"??? Hmmm, that may be a clue :lol:
As a lover of ponies, and terriers, that tenacity is what I love about them. But it is important to...

I agree with the comment that you don't see many Lippis because there just aren't many. But they are still what I think of as classic dressage horses. My former trainer started her career at Temple...

Morgans make great PC horses, I had one growing up that I did EVERYTHING with, including skijoring (NOT a PC sport!). THey are nice because they tend to have docile temperaments, are versatile...

I like him! I think he's well proportioned-nice back length, strong hindquarters, yeah the neck leaves a little to be desired but that can be improved with proper work. My OTTB is too long in the...

-DH is non-horsey, I have 3 horses on our small farm.
-Separate accounts, DH makes easy 3-4X what I make, some years more (self employed) but I pay mortgage and most of the house bills, all of the...

I love him. I can't and won't sell him, it'd be like getting a divorce and when he's gone as far as he'll go he'll be an awesome schoolmaster. It's a challenge, no doubt, he struggles with a body...

I think SisterToSoreFoot had a good response, what's the vibe in the barn? I've been in that situation too and everyone in the barn-horses included- walked on eggshells, wondering who was going to...

My OTTB has successfully shown, open division, at the regional level at Third. He has all the elements for 4th, we're just cleaning up loose ends. My trainer believes he can do PSG. He's not a...

I'm going! Mason City is a pretty small town, but they do have a Tractor Supply Company, which makes it a classier town than the one I live in! It's just a quick jaunt off I-35, easy to get to. ...

You can register him with USDF under any name you want. I registered my TB with PHR and USDF under a different name than his JC name. Besides your horses performance, they also track the breeding....

I have to weigh in here because among my pet peeves like sloppy wraps jobs, dull boots in the show ring makes me crazy! I learned to polish boots from an A Pony Clubber who was meticulous about...

If you ever get a chance to ride for him as a judge, no matter how your ride goes or what the score, it's worth it for the comments. His sense of humor doesn't end in the judges box.

I show Third level on an OTTB in a Wintec Isabell. Maybe we're low rent, but we're pretty successful. The nice thing about dressage is that none of that stuff actually matters to the judge. I love...

I always turn out with halters in the event non-horsey DH has to bring them in. One pony is a little funny about being caught by people who don't know her, no way DH would get a halter on her in the...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one with this "problem". I'd like to incorporate the certificate, so maybe to a craft store I go. And don't get me wrong, I'm thrilled to have this issue!

I think it's a hard adjustment to these gals who've spent most of their lives getting fat and having babies, to suddenly join the working world. She may also have fluctuating hormones that may take...

So, I just got my Bronze in the mail the other day. I'm out of my mind proud of my goofy OTTB that I earned it on, but what I'm wondering is, what do you "do" with it? Did you frame it with the...

So I know others have asked, but does anyone have an AC they'd recommend, especially internet/over the phone? I'm always fascinated by this stuff and have one horse in particular I'd love to hear...

Cons only? OK I'll try:
*Billets do crack, but my 20+yo all purpose has cracked billets, the nylon underneath is fine.
*Take a long time to dry: if you wash it or ride in downpours, you need to get...

Sorry, didn't read through them all...but did anyone grab Sylvester? He gets a spot next to Little Black, A Pony.

I give 1/2 cup a day. My super moody mare has been on them since April and they've made a HUGE difference.

Zugabe not all dressagey people will consider a TB, let alone an OTTB for a serious prospect, so I appreciate it. I take it as a huge compliment when people ask me what my guy is. I rode in the...

I earned my Bronze on my OTTB this year, his average score at Third is over 60%, despite issues with changes. And that is our hurdle to 4th. Yes he is long backed, weak-loined, stiffish stifles and...

OP, I found your post interesting, I had a notorious fly mask remover. He'd have any and all kinds of masks off within seconds of turnout, I tried everything I could think of, even cinching his...
