I owned a Trak/Arab cross who should be like TNT right? Wrong! The laziest guy I have ever ridden, and the most sensible as well. I wish I kept him for my husband...
I feel that the personality...

Just want to send my wishes for Courtney to get well soon. My father has a group that send out prayer wishes to his friends and family for those that need prayers, and I have added her to their...

I also adopted a dog with severe separation anxiety issues. He is an Irish Wolfhound/wirehair pointer cross, and quite big! One day he was mad when I left to go to work, and chewed the blinds that...

My husband is a contractor who I met when I hired him to remodel my 1930's home. Since then we have remodeled 3 kitchens in his "free time". Nightmare. the 3rd one I put my foot down and said he...

I know what you mean about the 40 thing. However, my first marriage failed miserably, and my new husband of 3 years and I are trying and I am 39! This is never how I expected my life to turn out,...

I just rode an ISH at my trainers' barn who is a 4'6 showjumper but he could easily be competitive at 3rd right now. He was amazing, great in the bridle, through his back, and nice gaits that I...

I think what you are going through is normal. Everyone goes through training plateaus, even if they are loaded! I am by far the least wealthy at the barn I ride at, but I haven't noticed that it...

Thanks for the input! I will try to get some pics going soon, but she is soooo hairy right now that she looks like a wildebeast! Just kidding, she is still beautiful, even as a hairy monster. As...

Thank you so much for the reply. I would say that her type is not too old style, yet not uber modern either. I wish I had some pics, and when it gets closer, I will add some here. It is so cold...

If he is sound, then ride tThe Beast! Especially if he enjoys jumping then I say go for it! One of my friends evented a 26 year old at Training level-3'3 as he too was sound and fit. Good luck,...

I had a 16 H Trak /Arab that evented successfully through Prelim that had someone look at. He was the quintessential packer as well. The first lady that tried him wanted a dressage horse, but...

I have a horse that does this too, and have never had a judge mention it on any dressage test. He has shown a lot, so just ignore the "friends" like slc said and keep listening to your trainer!

I am also 5'3 and curvy and Golden Dress and Pikeurs fit me best. I try to stay away from hi-waist as I am short waisted (I think that is when you have a shorter upper body and longer legs)? and...

I have found that the flash type when adjusted properly stabilizes the bit in the horses' mouth. I have one horse who is fussy without one, but is lovely with one. I have one horse that does not do...

Hi all you knowledgeable breeders out there! I was hoping to get some general advice on the possibility of breeding a horse for myself. I have an 07 Don Frederico filly out of a Wesley (Weltmeyer)...

The Schneider's ones did not fit my horse (so I spent more $$ in shipping for blankets that did not fit 2 horses), but the Amigo 1200 did. Go with the higher denier though. The Amigos fit all three...

My horses' mane rubbed out halway up the neck in the mid neck blanket I owned (one Wug and one Dovers Riders). I switched to blankets with detachable hoods since he is usually at least trace clipped...

I own a LU/TB/QH cross who has served me well. However, I did not buy him for Dressage. Therefore I was pleasantly surprised with him becoming a Prelim event horse, and now a 3rd level Dressage...
