It really depends- from what I understand if the dog has well-bred parents or grandparents, the results are better than if it's a real Heinz 57 for generations.

I bought a wisdom panel (for...

I have a pit/American Bulldog-type (who knows what she REALLY is... the genetic test that we did for fun said lhasa apso and staffordshire), and what would concern me about her around small children...

I agree with those who said it was not abuse, but inappropriate in the show ring. We've all felt that kind of sucking back, and know how hard it can be to correct, but the point is in the show ring...

TBs are the best! Mine never raced, but he's JC registered and just never made it to the track. We show in the 3' hunters (Children's Last year but then I aged out) and the Marshall and Sterling...

I show IHSA and I like it. As someone who concentrates on hunters with my horse, I enjoy the challenge of being held accountable for MY RIDING.

Are there ways which it could improve? Yes, of...

I read As I Lay Dying in high school english, and thought it was pretty funny. It helped having a teacher there to explain the humor. ;) It was a very dry, dark comedy, but I think it would make a...

I am in the same boat as you, experience-wise (actually that's a lie- you have tons more experience than I do in general), but the way I interpret it is that one of the following should happen in...

I am currently a vegetarian, but not a very strict one when it comes to gelatin and other animal products. Beyond that, I try to buy local foods as much as possible. I believe in everything in...

I'd like to add that belting/spanking/physical punishment is not NECESSARY for discipline. I'm not saying that everyone who does these things is wrong, but there are other ways.

Throughout my...

I kept my horse's JC name because of my lack of creativity in coming up with a new one, plus the fact that I don't hate it. I've grown fond of it, actually, in the 2 years that I've had him. It's...

Yeah, haha it's all good with the Harry Potter thing- at least it gets people pronouncing my name correctly instead of assuming it's "Jenny"!

Plus, I love the books, too!

Here are my links,...

My name is Ginny, I show my TB, Hero, in the Adult Hunters and the Marshall and Sterling Adult Medal (we did the Children's Hunters last year but then I aged out...).

I voted single because my horse is the wimp that gets beaten up, but isn't wimpy enough to know when to run away. I think he's the type to provoke others and then not be able to deal with the...

Only once! (Surprisingly...)


How many times a week do you have to tell your friends/family, "I can't ____ tomorrow, I have to ride!"?

"He was really dead today." (quiet)
or even, "He was really quiet."

One makes people think you are riding an animal that is no longer physically alive, the other they think that you trained him...

I call my trainer, BO, and pretty much all adult horsepeople by their first names. I am 18 now, but I have been doing this since I was young. It creates a nice informal and comfortable atmosphere.

Me: 5'0 (Maybe 5'1 on a good day haha I haven't measured my height recently)
Horse: 16.1 ish (haven't really officially measured him) and very slab-sided!

My legs definitely have some room under...

I go back on the 25th (don't know what to do with myself until then).

I'm taking:

We painted the wall in a matter of hours (me and one other barn member) while others painted the poles. The day before, I painted it solid gray, and then we added the detail the next day.

A simple design, but one of my favorites in my trainer's ring:

Stone Wall

It's a plywood box. We sponge painted it to make the stones look realistic, and it's a really fun jump with the striped...

I was a hula dancer with the pony I half-boarded when I was younger. When I got my horse, I dressed up as a painter and put painter's tape outlining his white markings (It was my friend's idea- I...

Since seeing bits of the pentathalon this past olympics, I have held the opinion that the riders should be tested in a DRESSAGE setting, because really, making a bunch of athletes jump around a 3'6...
