I feel your pain, too.

Many years ago when I was still on a career track I wanted a pet in the worst way. The Humane Society wouldn't approve me for a kitten because I was gone all day at work,...

Maybe there are others like me who stopped paying dues to USEA years ago? I'm glad to hear they are now the good guys, but I don't see that anything is actually changing. So I'd be pleased to send in...

Just a comment on the presumably unintended effect of Fugly's mob's attacks. I had been emailing a Craig's List poster trying to acquire an old, skinny mare when Fugly ran the ad posting, with URL,...

Please count me in as a dues paying member of your future organization. And I would be pleased to recruit other dues paying members.

There is a precedent for this kind of grass-roots action. FOSH...

I'm hoping to take my first driving lesson this spring!

I have tried to put the harness on my poor, patient horse while holding the instructions in one hand. I got so far as to have him pulling a...

Beta biothane is, well, words escape me.

After a trail ride my friend draped my biothane side-pull over the (bumper pull) trailer hitch while she was un-tacking the horse. Then she forgot she...

As to how I got started riding gaited horses, it's a long story but you can see the short version in the thread in Off Course: "Now I've Heard It All...".

I'm in McCall, but the TWHs will soon be...

Where in Idaho are you? I have two TWHs, I trail ride them in the mountains north of Boise, and I would be happy to let you try them. I loff them.

If only it were that easy here in Idaho! I have to look at Forest Service maps, topo maps, hiking and mountain biking books and generally spend time driving around (without the trailer), hiking...

For those not familiar with Ansur, this is a tree-less saddle - horses love it. Endurance riders use it, and riders of gaited horses (including Icelandics) and hard to fit Arabians rave about it....

The "throw-em-away" mentality is even more mysterious when you find out you're married to someone who thinks that way. When we acquired "our" three horses I thought long and hard, because I know they...

Black classic, size small/petite (17.5-18") in the original design - marked under flap with "Peter's Tack 2000, The Ansur, Wm L Huston Maker", serial number P025. This saddle has laced-in knee rolls...

"Although, I have heard they make good organ donors."

Trakehner, that is totally out of line. Just take a minute and think about it. Would you like to have that said about you? About someone you...

My brother is an avid road and mountain biker, and I am (obviously) a horse person. We go on rides together in the mountains here. Both the bikers and the riders we encounter seem to have a lot of...

One of my all time favorite books is "Laughing in the Hills" by Bill Barich. It's beautifully written. Would also recommend "Some Horses" by Tom McGuane.
