Dear Former Trainer A,

Thank for the 8 years that you put into me and my riding. Thank you for finding me a nice horse when my parents weren't ready to buy me one, and for always having at least...

I didn't read all of the posts, but I have to say I can see it from both sides. At various times during the day I am a trainer, a boarder, and the "feed girl."

As a boarder, I firmly believe that...

Getting ready the morning of the show and realizing that they're not actually YOUR clothes in your bag, and are completely the wrong size.

My poor leadliner had this happen yesterday morning and...

I think there are a lot of us out there who taught lessons as kids. I was one of the older juniors in our barn (not to mention the trainer's pet) so I often spent a Saturday afternoon standing in the...

Another vote for Mehdi Kazemi. Even though he's never been my primary trainer, he's always made time for me. In fact, it was his fault I even started horse showing! He was a huge help the first...

1.What time is it? What are you doing? 2:33pm, and I'm wasting time before I go freeze all night at the barn.

2. Nickname(s): Ell, Elle-belle, Smellen

3. Number of candles that appeared on your...

Mel, toowoomba boards with us http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I honestly don't have any issue with someone having a drink and then getting on a horse. You're all...

Isn't that backwards? According to AQHA, duns have to have a dorsal stripe.

And my horse is "Dunn by Picasso". Breed name or not, everyone always thinks it's cute!

Well, I'd like to say that this thread has already been enlightening for me - I just realized that I already KNOW toowoomba2. We keep our horses at the same barn!

I feel so unloved. http://chronicleforums.com/images/custom_smilies/lol.gif I got missed on the first page -please add me in!

I'm in Howard County (well, the barn is at least!).

As of last summer, Columbia was in the habit of taking some of the lesson horses to shows - I saw them a couple times. However, I don't know how regular of a thing it is for them or if they've been...

She's in Ocala. Absolutely loves it down there, she hated winters "up north" when we were at school together.

I know the feeling. I'm trying to put my life in Maryland back together (did 4 years...

hunt_jump, where in FL are you? My best friend moved down there in June and I swear she's met a new guy every time I talk to her.

hunt_jump: Ah yes, when the parents get involved in the matchmaking.... eesh. My parents thankfully leave me to live my own life. They do tell me I need a life other than the barn though....

I'd take a crop to any of my students if they acted like that. We've had a couple minor incidents with people being rude, but with only one arena, everyone has to learn to share. I even let people...

Both of my guys are "forever" horses as well. I bought Nylar so I could retire him properly (of course, he's sounder now than he ever has been ...

Catalina - Hagerstown definitely isn't too big a deal (or won't be after the first of the year). Right now I've only got a couple days a week that I could drive up there (Thursdays and Fridays), but...

I'll play too!

Starting in January I'll be back down to one job and looking for something else to occupy me during the day. I have 2 horses, but I don't ride one (he's my lesson horse and gets...

Would someone please explain to me what loyalty has to do with a trainer/client relationship?

If you do your job and the client likes the way things are going, they stay. If they don't like the...

Haha, I know where I know you from Dan. (did that sentence make ANY sense?) IM me and maybe I'll tell you. http://chronicleforums.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_wink.gif

I'm glad to hear things are stabilizing for you guys up there. We spent most of this past week discussing where we could put in/designing a quarantine barn (we don't currently have one) and...
