Anyone know online retailers that have Samshields that are participating *and* will accept returns?

I really like the look of them and want one, but haven't tried one yet and the tack stores...

I never rode IEA so I can't comment on the first one. As for two, what you do in IEA might affect what level you would come on to an IHSA team as. In general, it is better to come in to the lowest...

I went to a schooling show last week where I recognized the judge from our IHSA region - he was another school's walk/trot rider. Oooohkayyyy...

I would have realized something else was off anyway...

If the horse has had no change in program, riding, tack, feed, etc and out of nowhere starts rearing I would check physical issues and then if that checks out go to a behavioral solution.

I don't...

Is it bad that the only reason I clicked on this thread was to look at links to adorable, tiny, miniature saddles?

I don't have a massive bust, but I definitely have a big chest for my body (I used to wear a 30DD) and I slump as well (my trainer calls it my "turtle back.")

My coach actually has a specific...

Its funny how full circle things come since 10 years ago I was doing the short stirrup on a chestnut ottb named Austin:

I'm still chuckling at the idea that some people think that Reed's mother is so desperate for compliments about her olympic equestrian daughterhat she would fish for some on this BB. Like the 26,000...

Huge range...like 5k-50k. A green broke 16h 4 y/o mare who is started over fences and whose breed is listed as some type of sport horse but not registered could be as low as four figures.

A 17.1...

I think there are many ottb diamonds in the rough out there - if your diamond isn't a GP horse or bringing home ribbons in the a/os at WEF.

Are there a ton of upper level prospects waiting to be...

Actually, it was marketed BY Kate. And by Karen. And Marilyn. TO Kate's clients.

If you listen to the interview with Kate, it sounds like it was a joint effort between the three ladies.

My OTTB was sold to a younger girl at my barn through my coach. My trainer mentioned the idea originally and I basically acted as a private seller. When the parents of the girl became seriously...

I love how they describe the hunter fitness as a more "quarter horse" look. I'm picturing the owners and trainers of these top horses and their expressions if they heard their 6 figure WBs being...

According to the Heritage invoice from the other thread, one of the ponies sold for 260k still netted the trainers a 15% commission. Not sure about something higher though.

Wow! If that is still during her eventing career, maybe Kelly didn't have as much work to do as we thought!

Yes, definitely. I know a junior who recently purchased a complete string of (assumedly) high priced imported jumpers. And I'm not just talking about 3 or 4 of them. While it seems excessive, if I...

Also do some research on bloodlines. I wouldn't use that as a deciding factor since obviously every horse is different, but rather just another source of information on the horse. For example, I was...

Do I think I have the natural talent to be competitive against top riders? No.

Do I think if I had unlimited funding, 30 years experience under my belt, and the right horse I could possibly in...

Never met her, since she moved after I left! But if she did, I can only hope they weren't for the kiddos :lol:

I posted this in the other thread about it on the off course forum, but I'll post here too:

She moved to my old barn back in January and brought her horse with her. She was a pretty beginner rider...

She moved to my old barn back in January and brought her horse with her. She was a pretty beginner rider I believe. She also recently started leasing a school horse from the barn and owned her own...

Well yea, I live there and was paying board there not even two years ago.

Which is why I was asking if this seems high for a BNT from any other area. Do the top barns in less expensive area still...

Can anyone comment on whether Heritage is an outlier? I'm from Westchester and what I paid for not great training or facilities was still ridiculously high compared to some very good trainers at very...

Could someone post a link? I can't find it.

No way would I spend 100k+ on a hunter even if I had the money. I'd spend it on a big, bold, fancy horse I could have a blast around a cross country course on or take fox hunting. I'll spend the...
