The beauty of horse contracts is that they can be worded to include EVERYTHING you want and the BO agrees to. However, if you didn't put these things into the contract, you don't have any hope of...

Yup, genetic, so MTG and other things won't work like they do on non-Apps. They may prevent breakage, but won't encourage growth. Hazard of owning the breed.

I think it was more an economics/ease of care thing. Why break them before they were old enough to stand up to combat and long marches? Cheaper and easier to leave them in huge herds, which they...

Exactly what we are facing now with our legitimate, born in US, been in our barn since he was a yearling, first year horse. Nearly the entire division has years more experience than he does. If the...

That is one anecdote. In order to do a true comparison, you would have to have two similarly bred individuals, one started at 2+ and one at five, give them similar work and track their entire...

Except that someone who starts "many, many, many" horses is bound to run across plenty who don't make it to FEI level, yet still stay sound. We do asHSS does, and have yet to have one not hold up. ...

EXACTLY! People, if you are going to use gimmicky tack, and most do at some point, at least know how it is supposed to work and how to use it properly! Crank nose and has ONE job, to keep the mouth...

Absolutely! He is one of THE top, and mos popular, pony stallions. Great minds, talent, easy to deal with. He is the whole package.

Absolutely! It would make tracking horses SOOOO much easier. But that makes too much sense.

Joe has always done it. But thirty plus years ago, he was the only one that did it. And none of the old classic hunter riders(Charlie, Leslie, Katie, Patty, Martha, etc.) ever did it. It is...

Cannot imagine why or who would have said that. I DO braid professionally, and can absolutely do a better forelock on a shortened, thinned one than a bush. But, I manage all of our horses myself,...

I do it all the time. Hate wild, long forelocks and they make it hard to not have a sausage braid. I pull to length, then pull sides to taper. They look great.

Side effects such as what? And NOT a psychotropic! Ace is one of the, if not THE safest tranquilizers out there. You have to make the decision, OP, but at least have correct information.

In 40+...

I doubt it. There are almost never any CA attendees in the Devon HB. Too far to ship a baby.

The show had to stop when the rain got so bad that the main driveway flooded. Once the rain stopped and storm drain was unclogged, the lake dissipated and showing resumed.

This morning, it was...

She was not in bankruptcy. It was a "sheriff!s sale", I think that is what they called it, and it was put on BY Hans to recoup the tremendous amount of money Marge owed him. She had about seven...

There is another piece to the story. I worked for Suzie LeRoy's mother at the time Suzie had Valor and took care of him for many of Suzie's early wins on him. I was a close friend of Hans' and knew...

Bluey, the people who mentor me are now on their FOURTH GENERATION of raw fed dogs. I myself have fed three generations (8 years). Not every puppy in every litter goes to a raw feeding home. But...

It is not the prisoners' job to retrain anything! They don't train or ride, at least at JRCC. They ALL go through the Groom Elite program, and care for the horses under direct, and strict,...

Yes, but a pedigree will give them the information they need, without being inspected.

Nope.

It CAN work under the TRF banner if all other pieces are also in place. I volunteer with the James River Correctional Center/Greener Pastures program in VA, and it is doing very well. We have a...

We do enough to them they don't like. I refuse to add spraying water in their faces to that list. Especially when there is a perfectly acceptable alternative.

The different colors are old, dead hair being pushed out by the new hair. Don't do anything. He will finish shedding in a couple of weeks, and the new summer coat will be in completely, and he...

I would go a different route entirely. While I am the biggest traditionalist you will meet, when something has problems, yet doesn't see the need to change, I move on. Bakers gave ALWAYS been...
