I'm back in Western New York for the summer doing some consulting work. I haven't had any luck getting trainers to return my calls (what is up with that?) Anyway, am just looking for some saddle...

This isn't directed to anyone specific but I've always wondered if breeders realize how many people read these forums and more importantly, if they ever stop to think how their conduct on here...

Well, we can agree to disagree. But my feedback was based on the fact that all the breeders seem to be pushing for show homes (and I am assuming we're not talking about local shows). In that case,...

OM - you may have had your fill with h/j trainers but the fact remains, no one in a show barn is going to buy a prospect without their trainer. If they did, they wouldn't be in that barn for long. ...

I think MistyBlue and some others said it best - if horsepeople treated it like a business, then they would probably have a much easier time dealing with the buyers.

FWIW, most people buying...

I've read this thread all day & searched for the words that would make sense but at the end of the day - it comes down to the basics. Deepest, heartfelt condolences to all of the people that knew...

..I'm not an eventer. But being a jumper, I have had a few falls & been excused.

My worst fall was similar to what someone else discussed. I was schooling, had a nasty fall, was adamant that I...

Weren't there quite a few questions about who actually owned Capone? IIRC, there were holding/shell companies set up.

I hope against hope that the horse winds up in a good situation. And I...

... is that it wasn't related to the drug issues but that someone instead took the stallion & he will be removed from his "breeding duties" :x forever...... I hope wherever he is, he is being well...

From a BNT. "There are intelligent riders. There are skilled riders. There are naturally talented riders. (pause) And then there's you."

I've been posting here for years. I'm not in any clique, Erin & I aren't out drinking mojitos at night & yet somehow..I've never been banned, had a thread shut down or been in trouble. Why you ask?...

does he have both Capone & Cantour back? And are they located in the US or Canada?

I am still in shock that someone caught with that much cocaine managed to get out of jail that quickly There's...

...sponsored a polo team in the hamptons this summer, perhaps detente is at hand when it come to the USPA/RL lawsuit debacle.

As for the original subject...I'm still laughing/shaking my hand at...

I hope you emailed Ellamae an apology & also will refrain from spreading incorrect gossip in the future. As she said, he is not employed there & has not ever been.

West Milford is a very nice...

I am pretty sure he isn't teaching there - who told you he was?

Can he definitely not jump at all? If he can do low stuff-perhaps you would have luck placing him in a barn where they could use him for lessons for advanced adults?

Or perhaps you might want to re-evaluate & say that you are thankful for the customers that are BUYING.

I'm in sales & I always remember that a customer has a choice & make sure they know I...

DMK - stop being reasonable! ;)

I guess what I find confusing is the breeders that price all their foals across the board at the same price. It's not the buyers responsiblility to make the...

Faraway - as always, you know I'm thinking of you & wishing you the best. It's such a tough situation & I only hope that things will work out for the best for both ofyou.....

If I can add a...

If I was at a barn where that was the rule, then I would adhere to it. My barn doesn't & I school in tank tops during the summer in NJ. It gets hot & I sweat & want as little fabric on me as...

.. he's at Pine Ridge. He may have taught there but I don't think he's there now & he's not listed on their website.

I've been posting here for years & have met many people here. I'm happy to tell you my name but it wouldn't mean anything - I'm a typical ammie rider (and I don't even event). But I'm not holding...

Um.. just because a brand-new poster says they're an upper-level eventer & s/he has ridden at Rolex doesn't make it true. And someone who isn't willing to put their name to their post is someone we...

.. in Central Park for the Parks Horses. I did some volunteering with them in the last few years & got a chance to ride & explore Claremont. In fact - here is a pic of me in Central Park about a...

While I am not the biggest fan of Claremont it's still quite sad to see the end of riding in NYC. It was always a joy to go for a ride in Central Park.

Here's hoping the schoolies wind up in a...
