So I also play adult team tennis in a rural state. The national USTA rules say that if your team makes it to Nationals, then the next year it needs to break up and no more than 3 members of that...

I agree this sends a red flag especially after they first were agreeable to providing them. I suppose there might be something "trivial" that was properly managed but maybe they are worried you will...

Any suggestions for north/northeast of Philly, or Central Jersey?

I had a RR growing up who was great with horses. He and my mixed Shepherd would accompany me and my pony all over on trail rides and was fantastic. He was well behaved with my pony and my sister's...

I use Eudora and the text comes through fine.

Wow, this reply has been very educational... on several fronts! How you described the "bouncing" that is "encouraged" in Christopher's book is exactly how I would have imagined it to work. You have...

Yes, that's a good point. This has never happened to me before before but I'm taking the lunge line lessons on the school horse saddle so it possibly doesn't fit me well. However, to be honest that...

Uh.... yes, sounds like an Inverness problem indeed (though not due to jeans in this case.) (And, of course, the resulting "Invernessitis"!)

But thanks... that did help bring up lots of relevant...

OK, I didn't want to hijack the other thread on ways to build core strength, but one of the responses brought up an issue that is becoming "near and dear" to my heart (or seat, I guess....)

I'm really weak in my abs and my son referred me to this site:

(or just search for 8 minute abs). I don't know if they would be especially suited for...

... oh, good times! good times! (This is like a walk down memory lane!) Clearly to be a RR person, you have to have a sense of humor!

So I thought of the other time when our basement flooded...

That reminds me of another time at a dog show when I was walking Dubwana on a relatively tight leash but looking away to see how the rings were arranged and figure out where to go. Suddenly there...

I agree with Chism. Many dogs can be difficult if not properly socialized and all dogs will thrive best when they know their place in the pack (and YOU are the alpha dog!) I'd recommend looking at...

Cool thread! In 1974 as a junior I got a RR that I showed to an AKC Championship, got High Scoring Obedience at his first specialty show, and up to 2 legs on a CDX.... but never got the CDX because...

Does the sand have any "drying out" effect on the hooves?

Thanks for the great suggestions! And pointing out some aspects I hadn't thought about before.... like that mats are prone to get slippery when wet. (It's making me boost the priority of installing...

Would I use just mats, or mats and then something on top of the mats? I had mentioned to my farrier about maybe bringing in sand but he was pretty adamant that might not work well, especially for my...

I'm new to having a "horse acreage" ... I have to say, it's great to have horses at home but there sure is a lot to learn!

Anyway, my property is really an old cattle operation so I have a loafing...

One of the best ankle-strengthening exercises that doesn't require any extra equipment (like therapy-bands, etc.) is "the stork". Stand on your one-leg (with the sprained ankle) for 30 seconds. You...

OK, I think I'm sold! This sounds perfect!

How does the Horseguard hold up if you have lots of deer in the area? I'm new to having an acreage and trying to increase my pasture area since the one pasture I have was quite overgrazed from the...

I don't board anymore since I finally have an acreage and can keep my horses at home, but at the 4 different places I boarded before that, none of them gave out presents or cards at Christmas. (OK,...

I feed square bales but this thread mentions the increased risk of botulism if animal carcasses get baled in with the hay which can be more difficult to find in the round bales. But with either type...
