Aww, yay!! The best relative present (from a long distance aunt and uncle we saw maybe once every other year) I ever got was a pair of really nice dressage gloves. It turned out that she knew what to...

That seems kind of backhanded on the BOs part to me. If you had not lived up to the contract I would have felt differently, but because you did....I think you should try to strike up an agreement...

If you want to be adventurous my all time favourite tack/leather goods shop is Farnham Saddlery in Farnham, about 40mins on the train from London. Train leaves from Waterloo Station every hour, and...

Lilian is wonderful. I remember her from Camp Strawderman days - aka a very long time ago! Thanks for the info as I'm plotting to move to DC a year or so from now. Riding wont be the top priority at...

Do you have stalls? I always found (in VA and now NC) that the horses prefer to sit in front of a box fan in their stalls in hot weather.

I think not mailing out ribbons would have been fine if you had given them out on time. As it stands you let groups ride well after the final time, and it is not fair to expect people who did ride on...

Whoohooo!! Good for you, heres to many happy rides ahead!!!

Agree with this. Especially as this is a long distance owner there wont be any gossip about it as long as you keep quiet which obviously you will lol.

I was thinking the same thing. If the owner was notified and appraised of the situation immediately, consequently making the decision not to call the vet, then the OP is not at fault. If OP failed to...

The boarder was free to move whenever she liked had she thought the set up to be unsafe. Horse has been boarded there EIGHT YEARS. He is more than familiar with the routine. Small boarding barns...

I boarded a lease horse at a barn with a similar design. BO solved this potential problem by installing a regular metal gate where the barn doors should have been which separated the barn from the...

Irish Sport Horse? Are those common in NZ? Aren't NZ TBs generally bigger boned than American TBs? So maybe TB x with some kind of lighter draft type?

I think the best place to find what you are looking for is craigslist. That is how I found the horse I leased in Durham, NC and he was boarded at a small private stable which is exactly what you...

I love this, and its so true. We forget, as students/boarders/owners of horses that horses are a service based industry. If the service is terrible, then we, as consumers, are at least partly...

Yay! I was thinking about this today and am glad to hear such a good update.

I have an oval (and big! lol) head. The best helmet fit i've found in my budget is the Charles Own JR8. I got mine for $150 at Dover, and that really was the top of my price range. Best money I...

Yay!!! So glad you are getting him and will look for updates. The more you describe him the more it sounds like he just worked out how to get the number of his past owner/rider. Post pics once he...

Did you bring up the saddle situation with her? Did you remind her you requested that no JRs and only experienced riders ride your horse in lessons, and you get credit for it? None of these are...

I think it really does depend on the cat. If you go to a rescue which fosters cats out they should be able to point you in the right direction. I have friends who foster and they always seem to have...

love her color and build! And how can you tease us, where are the swimming in hawaii pictures?!! If you haven't seen them you MUST check out these awesome videos on working with Mustangs:...

I think (and this is purely observation based on two dogs, neither are/were hounds) that breath is where you notice smell the most. The two dogs I'm comparing had/have very similar care, except food...

I definitely think what you feed affects the doggy smell. Our family dog got the cheap grocery store food and because we never thought otherwise we just assumed all dogs had that "doggy smell." Yes,...

He's super cute! I think more QH than DraftX too, for what my opinion is worth lol.

If you can keep him fairly cheaply (i.e at home rather than boarding), and have the financial...

I realized that I never directly answered your question. So here is the answer: Yes, I do think the BW is being "too helpful." Despite that I don't think it is another borders place to tell her not...

Thanks, everyone! My parents are in their 50s. I know my mom wants a dog. I also know they would get Lightning a companion if they saw that it would be best for him. I'm hoping he continues to do...
