Isn't Kathy in Denver becoming a grandmother? Not sure about Jos. Hope they and their place is ok. I just spoke to my aunt in Grove, Ok, and her place is fine, and my grandmother in Tulsa only saw...

Keep in mind, organic material will create mud. So the used bedding might not be the best thing to add.

I love my flannel wraps! Masking tape is just as easy as Velcro, IMO, and when I make the lesson kids roll wraps after they come out of the laundry, it doesn't matter if they roll them the right...

Why would your horse be taken of the property? Was someone else riding, went to a show or clinic? Sorry, aside from an emergency situation or a lease situation, I can't think of a reason why the...

No one In the area that i know of, knows much, if anything, about him. And the website raises more questions than answers. So who knows? Might be worth watching a few lessons.

Oh gawd. *eyeroll*

well, i'm glad to hear that you've got the issue figured out, even if it is stress fractures. Sending good wishes to your boy! and who cares what type of owner you turn into? ;)

damn right! i weigh about 130 lbs. a FOAL outweighs me pretty quick, a full grown horse outweighs me by almost 10 times! the day a horse in my barn is allowed to act like an arse without getting...

considering what the OP got paid, i'd question if the BNT's clients really WERE paying top dollar.....

I've got pits and a pit x lab that are very good with the horses, and a friend has a rottie that has really fit in well at the barn. and i'll 2nd (3rd? 4th?) standard poodles. i used to work for a...

we LOVE long lining! all of ours do at least a little bit - even the race horses! a great workout, and while my son was small, making it tough to ride much, it was the ONLY work my nicer horses...

all too often, especially when trainers are riding in clinics, with thier clients present. is it just me, or are there some trainers out there who forget that IT'S REALLY OK to admit that they still...

I used to ride a mare i had with draw reins because she had a terrible habit of rearing - and I have no death wish. I'm a pretty competant rider, in my own humble opinion, but given the options,...

so, if i read the whole thing right, your friend signed up for a clinic, assumably an ADULT, not a kid, as your title states, your friend doesn't get the chance to show off a retired show horse, now...

Ironically, I found out this morning that we're losing a boarder because she didn't like our 'program'. She didn't like that we require 2 lessons a month, or that we don't have a ring full of jumps...

i used to ride a Neapolitano and a Pluto. I found the Neapolitano to be more sensitive, but..... as someone said earlier, the lines are so interbred, you can't really make any assumptions on the...

so nice to see that y'all are so perfect. :rolleyes:

and i don't suppose, in a forum full of breeders, that not ONE of you has ever had a mare fool you? foal early, not bag up, or gee, not know...

My reasoning for getting the TB had nothing to do with breed, or sensitivity. The TB is MUCH more reactive than the WB (who happened to be by a WB stud, out of a TB mare, fwiw) and a million times...

the crusader sword babies that i've dealt with have all been very sweet, good minds, nice temperments. NOT the greatest conformation, but considering the mediocre mares that most of these babies...

i don't care how incredible the movement is, if you can't ride the damn thing because it's a flippin maniac, what's the point? i HAD a fancy Holstiener.....notice, i said HAD. he was a loon. he...

i have a client whose 12 yr old TB has kissing spine. it wasn't noticed initially, he had been standing around for 2-3 yrs before she took him in, when i started working with them, i recommended...

that would be maybry's boy. here's his info : http://www.highcliff.com/registry_pdf/maybrys_boy.pdf we actually were just down there looking at studs for a client's mare, and this stud's picture...

here's one for you. I was schooling my funny-looking roan (registered) TB one day, when approached by a woman there to look at a sales horse.
her: is that an appaloosa?
me: no, she's a TB
her...

Paying well certainly helps, but PLEASE treat your staff the way they deserve to be treated! treating someone like an imbecile isn't going to do any good, regardless of how well you pay. Case in...
