Not even GM could find something to complain about in those photos

I can hardly believe some of these stories. Sounds like 1/2 the judges are asleep and the other half on crack. Some of this nonsense is ridiculous!

Congratulations on making a move out of there! It sounds like you did your due diligence and are now on to a better situations. Best of luck in your new digs!

The aforementioned stories are why I try to stick with stuff where I ride against the clock. In eventing, at least 2 of the phases are that way and the 3rd, you get to see your scoresheet.

I think it's cute that the little girl is clearly excited to be out on X-C. She seems like a brave kid! A lot of people had problems with the girl hanging on the pony's mouth. Yes she is, but I had...

OP, if you give your notice today and the trainer tries to be all nicey, nice (because her meal ticket is leaving), don't believe it,

because...
...

OP, I will loan you my key to the transporter so you can move immediately and to the location of your choosing.

I hope I never have to show in front of that person. Pity that someone with an R license is such a crumb.

Oh yeah.

All I need to be happy is a small farmette with a barn and two horses. One for me and a second for either Paul Newman or Yul Brynner.

I agree with mroades.

I'm less forgiving of problems when a horse hasn't been in full work. It's too risky unless you have a back field to retire them in easily if things don't work out.

I've...

When you talk about "changes" are you comparing to baseline X-rays on file with the current owner? Or are you referring to a comparison with what is considered normal in a horse of that age?

There are also a lot of fashion designers, like Ralph Lauren, who overprice their lower tier items that they can sell in bulk to help pay the overhead for the top tier items that sell far fewer...

I would like to propose that you have several names for the pony, depending on what discipline you are showing in:

for Dressage: Von Zauberglock
For endurance: Belle bin Rasheid
For reining:...

If I had enough money to buy top AAAAA horses and ponies, I still wouldn't pay those shoeing prices. It's crazy. If I had super deep pockets, I would still be careful with my money and not put up...

~$400+ for a set of shoes? Forget it. I can see spending a lot if there is something really special going on in terms of corrective shoeing, but otherwise no way...and I'm in a very horsey area of NJ...

The best way to make a small fortune in horses is to start with a large fortune.

I did some jumper shows with my young TB last year. My experience was much the same as yours OP.

Many of the jumper rounds were ridden very badly. Horses run around the course like a bat out of...

I see your point. Yeah. I might make an exception for that one.

I'm very superstitious about changing names. I have friends who sail and that is one thing they NEVER do is change the name of the boat. no. no. no. lol.

Besides, I'd like it to be easy for...

How about horses with gimpy riders? My foot hurts from wearing horrid shoes for a couple of days. No more heels for me. blah.

Don't worry about the weight. That is very easy to fix, particularly with a lot of high quality hay. The TB's I've owned have all thrived on a minimum of 1/2 day turnout on good grass pasture and...

I lived in Boston for 8 years and yes, traffic can be a big issue!

I can highly recommend Cindi Wylie, but she's up in Georgetown and that may be a bit of a hike if you are right in Boston or not...

Sounds exciting! The best of equestrian sports and hockey combined!

I used to ride a horse than would make a run for it every time you tried to "open the door". :)

I wish the same thing would give humans nice tight legs. That could save me thousands in plastic surgery.
