The point of hunters is to encourage a smooth, flowing course and get the horse to jump its best, and definitely NOT knocking rails. Good ground lines and rampy, wide jumps encourage round, tight,...

I occasionally do 15 minutes trot and 3, 3 minute canters (occasionally gallops) just because my horse enjoys it, but frankly he's crazy fit without any specific conditioning work. Generally we...

It depends on who I'm going with. If I'm going with someone with a big trot or I'm alone, I make him go forward and stretch into the contact. He can get a HUGE trot. To give you an idea, he easily...

Although it sounds like your life is pretty busy to be getting a new dog. However, if you do want one, I would stay away from the bully breeds. Not because of aggression or anything, but because...

If your horse isn't used to a flash/strap over the bit or it's fitted incorrectly, I can see how they wouldn't like it my. My gelding wasn't a huge fan it 2 years ago when he was used to a *loose*...

If just the waist is the problem, just bring them to a tailor. I did this with a few pairs, it was pretty cheap and now they fit great!

My one dog would be a short stirrup largepony. She's unathletic, short strided, adorable, sweet as can be and totally laid back. LOVES to please and is very patient....

I don't see it as any different than "private treaty" And I don't mind private treaty at all. If I buy a horse I don't want everyone around to know what I spent on it if it's expensive, so I...

My horse just can't choose which leg to be lame on. I call the vet out for his right hind and he'll decide to be dead lame on his left front. I've taken to ALWAYS have a witness to back me up...

Always happy to help! :D

My 'research' showed that slope of the scapula doesn't really matter, but it needs to be long. The angle between scapula and humerus should be very open, and humerus...

What about slooowwwwllly desensitizing her to other horses in the ring. For example, first bring in a horse and just have it quietly stand in the corner of the ring. Do this for days, untill its no...

Become a mall runner! Lots of people around here jog in the mall when it first opens.

Good find! I wouldn't work him to hard though, he looks like the type prone to having a meltdown

My zocks almost never match. Why? Because they help me ride. The flame sucks are for when my horse is lazy, hippy for when he needs to chill out, bubbles to get him relaxed, polka dots for when...

Your right. People don't belong in showers. They belong free and wild like their natural ancestors! Who needs houses? Lets all go live in the woods and make daisy chains and sing kum ba yah while...

Currently no, I have to make myself go every week. BUT, I've been taking steps to change that and it's getting better. I no longer dread going, I'm no longer angry the whole time at the barn, and...

Instead of studying for my calc midterm, my mom walked in to find me using marshmellows and straws to make models of the scapula, humerus, and radius so I coud see how slope, angles and length play a...

The one that stands out to me is the $25 per person per day. So if 8 horses go, your trainer gets to eat $200 worth of food a day?

It depends on the horse. In order for my horse to put his nose in, he's git to be "packaged" and more like a jumper. Put him on a looser rein and his nose pokes out, his stride gets long and lopey...

I don't know how I missed this one :eek::lol::lol:

Ha! You obviously do not have a dirty nough mind :lol::lol::lol:

There's a No Bucking Way jumper in our area. I love that name for a jumper!

I feel your pain. The worst part is, I can't even vent because my situation involves drama that would be easily recognized by anyone who is a part of it, or aware of it. But god, the last few...

How cute! He's a chunky little guy isn't he? His face just begs for cookies!

Hey guys! What is the best heavy turnout with a neck, without breaking the bank? It's only for this season, as normally he gets too hot with a neck, but he needs it for the rest of this winter...
