I am in the market for a new saddle and I was going to get a Devoucoux, but then this thread got me to thinking.... Especially since the sales rep told me that she would be in Maryland in January...

Well, my mom doesn't ride, but she has been a nurse forever and as a long time nurse, she can pretty much name her own schedule, where she wants to work, with whom, etc. She does work perdiem, which...

My trainer wants it to be Redlands; I am willing to put it off until some undetermined time in the future :winkgrin:. We shall see....

I am suprised to see so many people up in arms over the survey. I saw it for what it was, a way to target potential sponsors.

I never used to use studs, but when it got really dry and hot last summer, I went ahead and drilled and tapped my guy. It really did make a difference on XC and in stadium. He went from usually...

Ouch, ouch, och. Poor guy :(. I hope he gets all better soon.

OMG, Lisa, I am so very sorry :cry:. Linus was a such special guy.

Congrats! Don't be sorry, it wasn't meant to be. I won't say we weren't disappointed that it didn't work out for us, but if Mark was meant to be our horse it would have worked out. And when the...

Awesome! I love that there are some in April. I really want to get a short course Training in before I do a recognized. And they have jumper shows too! :D :D :D

I LOVE Loch Moy :).

I am hoping to do Morven in March. This cold, wet weather, though, has been a real issue and I have barely ridden my horse over the last month (having a grass arena is a real pain sometimes).

Mine are out. The two clipped ones have heavyweight turnouts on and the yak gelding is nekkid. So is the pony, who is a big ol' poof of fur and nice and toasty warm whenever I check. They all have...

I usually don't change the registered name unless it is really bad.

Black Stat became Roheryn (he is a chestnut)
Kaydee's Tyberious became Tyberious


I have only changed the barn name once.

negative $500.

I traded my horse for a weanling. My horse was more money, so we set up a payment plan. The buyer defaulted after making only one payment. According to the contract, if she...

I clipped Connor in late October. Within a month, he was a yak again. Since I am not riding him much now (I HATE cold weather), I will wait to clip him again in March.

Thanks! I won (with the help of my horse :)) the 2008 USEA Master Amateur Rider of the Year award. I knew I was getting a championship ribbon and a certificate but I was completely suprised by the...

I don't think I have ever posted a poll; what a pain ;).
I somehow posted it too soon and now I can't edit it. Anyway....

I currently have a GPA that I use for all three phases and I love it,...

If you could have any Charles Owen helmet, which one would you get?

They don't come more conservative then me ;). I grew up in the George Morris school of conservatism and I just can't shake it :lol:: Black, white and puke green TS

I rode up until the point that the couch looked a lot more comfortable then the back of a horse (around 5 1/2 months). I showed in the high A/A Jumpers up until about 3 months. Being tall and...

I can't believe he is a senior :eek: :eek: :D.

Tinkerbell is doing awesome, btw! She is in great weight and is shaggy and a lovely dirt brown color and as happy as a clam. I have even seen her...

I have been told that my horse was exactly as described, so misrepresentation is not an issue. It almost seems like people want my horse to be more than described (better trained, better mover,...

"He/she is not quite what I am looking for" seems to be a common reason not to buy a horse. Do people go into the buying process with set criteria and then try to find a horse to match that? To me...

I definitely prefer the "Thanks, but he/she is not quite what I am looking for", then the vague "I'll think about it", etc. That way I know for certain not to get my hopes up and move on to the next...

Samantha37 beat me to it :)! Definitely Ishi (Michelle Hoey). I sent my mare to her last winter and she did an amazing job with her. And, the best part, she takes lots of pictures and videos and...

A little bit of an inconvience, but worth it if dues stay down :).
