Lola and her pony are very cute, but I would call them NY kids, not Hollywood.

Yeah, a sound horse can have a lot of starts or very few starts, and I also think it has a lot to do with how inherently sound they are to begin with, as in their DNA. In general though, I'd be...

This is really sad news. I'm so sorry delta.

FW, I think you have revealed the true beef these people have. It's that old "established pipeline" that has been compromised and now they're stomping their feet and crying no fair!

Sorry folks,...

No need for me to repeat that CANTER has never been a rescue. But also, CANTER as an organization has always been very respectful towards the racing industry.

I'm surprised someone in the racing...

I've been caught. I now have 7 cats living in my house because I get first crack at fostering kitties as a volunteer. And the CANTER volunteers get to help in euthanizing horses, and all that other...

I assume you'll be packing heat, with all those bandits and stuff. But seriously, glad to hear that SOMEone is keeping adventure alive. Anyone remember when David O'Connor and his brother (Brian?)...

I sent in emails and got duplicate canned answers, where they talk about slaughter, and other irrelevant things.

In the case of Pimlico, if the cats are removed, they will be shortly replaced by...

That is really funny Mel, and informative. Isn't there some other psychologial theories that people hate most in others what they see in themselves?

Maybe mummy was mean and spanked them when they...

Most likely YES.

If I got all inflamed every time I saw someone without a helmet, I'd have a stroke. The kids doing the trick riding on those little bikes are all over the place. I see people on bikes scooters,...

The oral fixation comment was just stupid. And kind of surprising because I wouldn't expect the person who wrote it to be the type to go to a therapist or read Psychology Today.

Oh now that is funny!

Granted the physical needs of animals are vastly different from human needs; my horse is physically superior to me in every way possible, and I could never survive one winter...

My mother (who is in her 70's) would have a heart attack reading this thread. She was always very insistent about us kids drinking enough water (well the horses too.) Next thing you'll say is that...

Sure we should all wear helmets, but getting so angry about it isn't really doing you any good. Why do people get so angry? Is it about being right?

If it was an oral fixation, then gum would be fine, but I never chew gum; I hate gum actually. I do know that if I am thirsty or dehydrated, I get tired very quickly. I also am tall, get dizzy...

And why do you care exactly? You seem to think your preference should be everyone's preference. Unbelievable. People can argue over anything. Let's see...... medical research, or some idiot's...

maybe meant hyper, but dehydration is a contributing factor to hypothermia as well.

I think most of the time when people feel off, either tired, headachey, achey muscles, stomach discomfort, it's...

I don't take a lot of lessons, but if I'm taking a lesson in summer, I am bringing water. It's not necessary to take a break, unless you mean reaching over and gulping down a few chugs, and given the...

Good luck, I hope it all works out well for Buddy, I'm sure it will. Sounds like a huge PITA and I can see why no one at the track wants to talk to "outsiders" now. I know CANTER has worked hard at...

Not spectacular, but my very first horse trials, back in 1980-something, after only having show experience doing Jr. Hunter.

I didn't realize that dressage at 8:00 AM was *really* 8:00 AM.

Try curiosity. I know I was. I'm sure more than 4 people on COTH work at law firms.

The horse world is very small. I bought my horse at Penn National, and I'm not alone. The whole "no vet can do a...

according to ONE SIDE of the story

I am guessing that a diligent person would actually "do their homework" and get a PPE.

as Wikepedia says: Diligence is a zealous and careful nature in one's actions and work.

bayTB, that's a really nice story :-)

My OTTB (who incidentally came directly from Penn Natl.) actually picked up cribbing a few months after I got him. Probably about 6 months. Did he crib at...
