No one can take better care of your horse(s) than you can! I'm so glad mine are at home. I do miss the riding with fellow friends at the barn, but I can get much more accomplished at home alone!

Thank you all for giving me hope then. Like I said, he is NOT lame at all. It's just sad to see what SOME of these race people do to these horses. Unfortunately, this guy was given to another guy...

I just was given a gorgeous 16.3 OTTB the other day. We noticed a swelling on the inside left front and figured it was from cross-firing or something along those lines. Today, I had x-rays taken it...

Does anyone have any experience or comments on Tim Griest?

Thanks!

Thanks, I am watching live scoring at Texas Rose regarding a friend of mine and I saw this.

I am assuming that TE means time elimination???? I did not know that you could be eliminated for "time" during your cross country if this is what TE means.

What does "R" mean?

Thanks for...

A few weeks ago, I posted about going back to GAG since I felt "starter" was a bit too much for me after our last show. However, yesterday, we did do starter again and won AGAIN. BUT....here's my...

Here is a picture of us from last year doing the GAG.

Anxiety is the beast....but of what??? Why? How did this happen? I used to be so good and fearless and now I am not. Age? I haven't had any accidents, but I must admit I am afraid of one,...

Why would cantering to small fences be harder than larger ones if I may ask?

My assistant trainer is going. She was late in entering, but found out the other day, she is a go!

The reason for the cantering the fences (heck any fence) is to overcome/learn/gain confidence again. Somewhere when I started to reride after a 10 year hiatus, I developed this fear of...

No rule that I am aware of. I am pretty new at eventing (just starting last summer) so I am just checking. My trainer assistant said do GAG if that I what I want to do. I just wanted to be fair,...

This, of course, is a little schooling show with Jr and Sr divisions only. I just want to be fair with the competitors. We have done the GAG twice last year, but again, trotting the whole way as I...

I do want to move up, but ONLY when I am confident and riding it correctly. I think BN will be my highest level at my age and that is my goal, but if it doesn't work, so be it. I still enjoy riding...

Background - I am 56 and a rerider after 10 years. My OTTB and I have been to three HT's now. Two last year and one this year (less than a month ago). I did the starter this year at the show last...

Whew....I'm glad to hear these responses. So, whatever it takes to find a good trainer is what I will do....even if it is just once every 4-6 weeks! Thank you everyone!

Oh, by the way, there is...

I certainly can relate to that, but again, there is no one here in my area that is decent. The nearest one would be over an hour away and that one is not decent either....the trainer talks about...

I live in an area where eventing barns are just not close to me. The one that I have gone to, well, let's just say it's not the ideal situation.

I want to continue to event and because of my age,...

I can make either, large or small, and I think I will make the large.

I would like to build a dressage arena...nothing fancy, and it will be on grass. Any ideas on how to build a nonexpensive one????

I'm going on 56 and this is my second year. Last year, my beautiful OTTB - who is calm and sane I should mention - and I did the Green As Grass and had a ball! This year we are going to do the...

Bump as I would really like to hear about this "trainer"!
