    The show farrier (and vet) work on a retainer from show management, similar to what you would pay a lawyer to start work for you. Like the layer who then bills you by the hour, the vet/farrier bill...

    No, just a lite light hack, NBD. Maybe even a WT lesson or making the choice with your own horse.

    If you use something like this? Get some help to makes sure it's adjusted right and, like the side reins, if the horse is not getting good impulsion and is only OK as far as lunging goes? You could...

    Personally, I don't ride mine with a clicking shoe that is starting to wallow around the clinches chipping the hoof. Matter of fact, if you can hear it? It's too loose to ride with. Potential for...

    Have an idea though...if OP does not feel comfortable at 3'6" (and, really, this would not be a good time to move up if she does not)? AUDIT. Make it a point.

    Most clinic attendees are Ammies, especially in the 4' and below sections. Check with the organizer for section heights but he goes all the way down to 2'6" these days.

    I think you do need to be careful of the perception of favoritism here. If it looks to your clients like you are playing favorites? You are, at least in their minds. Just be aware perception can be...

    It's good to be King, even better a really rich one.
