It's not just Facebook. Scroll through BigEq, Dreamhorse, and you'll find a bunch of stolen photos.

That throws up a big red flag for me. If they're dishonest enough to steal a photo for a sale...

There is no app for flash on an iPad. ;) I don't think I've downloaded anything. But it does take a while to get the picture.

mojo, It took about 3 minutes or so for the picture to show up on my iPad. I had sound in about a minute (a full minute--longer than it seems) but the picture didn't show up for at least two minutes...

Try this link. Not sure if it works on an iPad though

I was there several years ago, and they had a bar where you could order beer and wine (and about everything else--my mother got a bottle of mead :rolleyes: .)

It is cheesy fun. I found the food to...

About a week during snowmageddon. Usually, they're turned out in the indoor if it's too snowy/icey. But the indoor collapsed from the snow, so that wasn't an option. :eek:

My horse was climbing...

Thanks JER!

I'm glad they do have a standard, but it's depressing that the first rider in the video slipped through somehow. I know we all have bad days, but that was more than a bad day. It's...

I was thinking of something like this, then I realized it could make it even worse. The people who don't spend much time working on their riding are going to spend even less if the riding gets...

I read that they have to drop the reins before the actual impact (and get penalties if they don't) so they don't inadvertently bang the horse in the mouth. Made me happy that they protect the horses...

I got the reins too.

The TC reins broke while I was riding. Luckily, I wasn't jumping a course or anything; I was just hacking in the barn arena. So nothing bad happened. I couldn't figure out...

Count me as another one who uses ammonia in hot water for cleaning followed by an only barely damp sponge application of saddle soap for conditioning. It must be an old timer thing because my rather...

I grew up with a sheltie and have had two of my own. One was put down just over a year ago. Miss her every day. They are wonderful dogs.

DO go to a good breeder (as mentioned) and check the...

Well, I'm a nervous nelly, control freak with no eye. So I'd happily buy any color horse so long as it has the ability and temperament to cart me around! Seriously, there are so many things more...

I'm so glad this thread got bumped up if only for this...



Really? :eek: The only "service" that cleans poop out of my yard is me! :lol: I have two dogs, work full time, ride a horse, and try...

Oh my gosh! The Lighthorsemen! That is the most kick butt charge ever filmed. The first time I saw it, I jumped out of my seat when they made it under the guns, and I get chills when they call for...

I think it's different with team sports. If your team is slaughtering the other guys, you put in players who normally sit on the bench, try new plays you haven't perfected yet, etc. Those things help...

This. It's just stupid to drive that fast at dusk where deer are prevalent.

I'm not buying her story for a second. She hit something that large and didn't even stop to check out her vehicle? She...

So many of us have similar trail ride stories! I went on a trail ride out near Yellowstone. My friend and I were the only experienced riders in the group, and we were the only ones in helmets. She's...

Huh? It's missing... most of it! For $3000, I want the whole saddle!

My dogs have always been high energy puppies who mellow into high energy adults. :D That means they do slow down quite a bit, but they still remain high energy dogs. I don't think a bunny on caffeine...

I get what you're saying: If a dog is doing something unwanted and you address it using positive reinforcement techniques, there's no harm and a very good chance it can help. If a dog is doing...

You may never get him to like other dogs, but you can get him to tolerate them and not freak out.

Right now, he's probably very anxious when he sees one. For the immediate future, find out how...

I've lost the desire to show.

These days, riding is my release, and adding showing to it just means more stress and obligations. I simply don't want to deal with that.

About a year ago, things...

I'm going to go against the trend and state that I like babies! :D Don't have any, but I like them.

Getting rid of pets when a baby comes along isn't exactly common, but I can't say it's unheard...

Personally, I come down strongly on the side of positive reinforcement. However, I've had happy, well adjusted dogs in the past before I knew how to do it and was using outdated theories. While the...
