Here is my submission. We were in a medal class at a local show in the rain (hence the waterproof coat instead of a show jacket), and I was doing a rollback from one fence to the next. We are...

You're very welcome. :)

CacheDawnTaxes - You'll want to take a look at the Equine Canada Hunter/Jumper/Equitation/Hack rule book, which you can find here. Hunter is Chapter 3. I don't believe there are any specific rules...

I have to laugh. Every time I click on a poster's Facebook link to see their picture, I get an error message, then the picture. Given the topic, the message is quite appropriate:

Thanks again for all the replies. I had a very good ride on the horse in question tonight - it started out with me insisting he stand still for me to climb up, and progressed from there. I put him...

Thank you for all the posts. I completely agree that the horse is trying to evade both my hand and leg, and that it is something that we need a tremendous amount on. I guess the root of my question...

eponacelt - Not a bad idea. I've got a good friend who does a lot of dressage, but also has a hunter background. I should really see what she thinks.

Dixon - He's already on a grass hay, and...

I've got a part TB hunter who is very hot, and very sensitive. Currently, we do well on our hacks, and are respectable over fences at a 3'0" height. I have done all the schooling with him, so...

I enjoy doing stable work when I have the time to do it well, or don't feel like I'm sacrificing something else that would do just as well to have the extra attention. I am an RN, and work 12 hr...

You forgot one - don't wear lip gloss, chap stick, lipstick, etc. :)

QH land has some very, very skinny snaffles. Used gently, they're no more harsh than a lot of the other bits suggested here. Also, they generally don't cost an arm and a leg if you look around a...

We joke that ours (for men or women) is no butts, boobs, backs or bellies. The 4B rule! :)

Fair enough. I just remember a rumour circulating that it wasn't actually GM who did the critiques any more, even though he had initally.

Does GM even do those critiques anymore? I was under the impression that it was someone emmulating his style, and not necessarily the man himself writing those columns.

Buckeye Cadence and Buckeye Ultimate Finish. But I'm a Canuck, so I don't know if it counts. :)

I have a really nice brown jacket with a pale blue windowpane pattern that looks fantastic with my brown GPA. It is just a shade or two darker than the helmet, so I'm not monochromatic, but still...

What a fabulous opportunity, both for the participants and anyone who is able to audit! I would jump at the chance to do something like that, particularly with such fantastic people doing the...

I l;ike clipping Celtic knots when I leave a design, as they're a little more "grown up looking" than some of the other designs I have seen.

I also leave the design longer (rather than cutting...

Nope, digital, as in digits and foot. Distal and proximal just refer to where you are on a limb or body part. You feel the digital pulse in the distal aspect of the forelegs. The horse has distal...

Oh, I am so glad you pointed that out. I wonder how many of the people who are critical of these horses' management and condition are micromanaging their own diet and exercise to maintain a perfect...

Unfortunately, no, I'm not kidding. She's relatively new to horses (i.e. she's loved them all her life, and recently adopted a little pet standardbred), and I think she is trying to sound like she...

How 'bout the woman I know who insists on dropping "-bred" when she discusses her horse's breed. i.e. She tells everyone she owns a "standard" which is a different type of race horse than a...

Thank you!

Anyone?

I was just updating my profile, and got stuck where they ask for the magazine subscription number. There are two sets of numbers in the upper left hand corner of my magazine lable - one that is...
