Hi,

We are headed off to the AHANE Arab show next week at the Big E grounds. A few questions for you...I haven't shown Arab in over 25 years. Help.

1. My purebred Arab's mane is about 10...

Riding "hunt seat" in a Western saddle is my new favorite way of teaching beginners. The saddle is soooooooo much more supportive of riders' balance and the horn will certainly keep her from getting...

Mark Weissbecker worked out of a rather nice gentleman's farm in Richmond, MA. I used to take lessons there and it was very good with stunning facilities. Not sure he is still there but you can...

I was going to say that in his excitement, maybe he got his tongue over the bit. Horses oftern act a bit looney in the bridle when that happens it seems but then you mentioned he is in a hackamore...

The story on Valor made me think of this thread. We have a school horse who loves to horse show! In lessons, he is shall we say, an obstinate schoolie. He rubber necks, he turns into the middle,...

Hi!

Still truck searching. I have read repeatedly that the Ford models with a 6.0 liter were really bad. Why I am not sure, but I "know" to steer clear of those models. I know nothing about...

I just spoke to Greg a week or two ago. He was helping me in fact with a much over due project on the old time horseman John Moffat who taught here for years at mount Holyoke. I am shocked. What...

"Throw the baby out with the bathwater". I had a professor who said this daily. I had never heard this phrase before and ...never want to hear it again, thank you.

What? Where?????

Hi,

Joe DOES do a lot of long lining in his program but the horse will get ridden too for sure and free jumped. Hilly turnout all day = good for them to develop foot sense and muscles. He's in...

Hi,

Just curious - I need to install a gooseneck hitch and thanks to you all will go with the B+W turnover ball! How much should I expect to pay? And...also for wiring/plug installation in the...

Why not give hind shoes a try? I will tell you my experience a few years ago. I had a project horse with EXCELLENT, sturdy feet. He was barefoot all around (I know yours is shod up front).

My daughter who is five, has a 14.3 Arab who has big "English" gaits most of the time. When she rides him though, she tells him "Trot Raffi - but not too fast" and by God if he doesn't shuffle along...

I'll start...

I believe that every time I throw out the old and start using a new toothbrush (or my child does) we get a cold. I believe from this evidence that the new toothbrushes are embedded...

Thanks for all the replies. Like I stated in my original post, I used to have the ideal set up many years ago but ...life, family and priorities change. I had heard that 1/2 tons could and do haul...

Hi All,

I too love my Lister Stars but will need to get new blades soon. Having a tough time finding blades at a reasonable price in the tack catelogs. Also, which gauge is best for basic body...

Truck gurus...

I sold my rig - F350 Diesel Dually Crew Cab and two horse GN 6 years ago. Now, a used GN trailer has fallen into my lap so to speak. It is a 2h and weighs 4500 lbs unloaded. ...

For you jumper riders not heading south this winter, Ken Whelihan out of Berkshire Equestrian Center, Richmond, MA has put together an indoor jumper series called the Gold Cooler Show Jumping Series....

Had a wonderful TB eventer - was a tripper too. We'd be hacking out and I would get serious whiplash on some of his stumbles. Mostly at the walk, sometimes at the trot. Never at the canter. He...

I was just thinking about two riders I have known. One is current in our region that I see at the shows and the other was a student I had a few years back. Both of these girls are/were EXCELLENT...

I love to make someone's day because they made mine! Too bad about the person with the bad Lowe's experience. I had a great experience there and called the manager to report that not one, not two...

Your photos are soooo beautiful! You have a very artistic eye for sure. What a wonderful trip!

I've been meaning to ask the foodies on COTH for months now. So, one day while making Toll House chocolate chip cookies, I clumsily swept the bowl containing the flour, baking soda and salt off the...

I do indeed buckle up on our Bobcat utility vehicle at work! Usually only when my coworker is driving. She just laughs when I state "I am not going anywhere with you until I buckle up!".

Let's flip the coin for just a moment. Who was the judge? If KH felt the impulse to storm into the judge's booth then I suppose there must have been a strong reason. A strong reason from her means...
