My first thought exactly -- and does the rider drop a little GPS locator disc for the ... groundsman ..... on the pathways, call out if a turd falls in the arena footing??? How many full-time divot...

:lol: Can you say Jack Russell ?!!! :lol:

We could have leased one of the males that we had, he could have taken care of the county!

I love, love, love your ride on this filly. I am going to use it as an example to my kids that I am helping learn to be correct. I love the way that you carry your hands and give to the horse to keep...

The differences for individuals amazes me. My daughter sat in an Isabel and hated it right away. It spread her hips wrong for her body type.

She loves the Pro model. With the less deep seat she...

She's really pretty, a big framey mare. Who would toss that aside?

Awesome photography!!

BRAVO! BRAVO! BRAVO!

All stand and applaud.

At a kitchen supply store (found mine at Kitchen Collection) I bought a very affordable ($4) stainless steel LONG HANDLED open weave fryer dipper that is AWESOME as a cat litter box cleaner! So much...

Susan G, author of the squirrel story, also has a good info page regarding the myths and reality of beet pulp on her side bar. http://www.shady-acres.com/susan/beetpulp.shtml For those that are...

You did know that fresh deep snow is very useful for teaching horses to passage. :D Just trot into it and voila.

I think that weather feels good. Yes, it's the clarity - of mind, body and soul. It makes me feel alive.

The barn seems to become a more magical place this time of year. More of a rhythm in the...

and thank you .... this story needs ceases to make it laugh out loud. So well written, good word pictures, we're right there with her!

so everyone re-enjoy this, or welcome to a delightful...

Are you buying the shreds or the pellets? Start with a little amount and get to see for yourself how much it blows up! esp the shreds. It can take a lot of water. And feed a small amt first times...

Exactly what I was thinking. If you're tilted you'll have to learn how to roll back into your seat more (ie: sit on your pockets). Learning to sit the canter, ride like a cowboy, in a western saddle...

Large servings of bran, which was once the popular practice, are questionable. The horses gut is not accustomed to it if it's a new feed, the gut hasn't formulated the proper bacteria, and, bran is...

I can't recall from reading which famous race horse it was that a groom said 'watch this' and the horse plunged into a tub of steaming hot mash and woofed it straight down, ears drawn back, attacking...

And a hot Toddy for ME! :D

Whew. I just got home, did the barn, brought everybody in for the night. I had the thermostat set down for the day to 62 while everyone was out. I walked in from...

You go first! :lol:

I've wanted to do that very thing also. I have quite a few of the name plates collected and want to mount them on some pieces of old barn wood and then hang them with old fencing wire. The names...

:) My word for the day, even I had to look that one up. TKS!

I just saw his photo on your website. This is more than just heartbreaking, it is a tragic loss of such huge potential and beauty. I grieve for you all and for this marvelous colt.

Dying to know -- what makes a bad rider a 'plumber?'

God Bless All of You! I'm feeling the fellowship here! I read every story intently. Broken toes, broken tailbone, twice (once a horse fall, the other on black ice), the knees I have to admit were...

Are you sure that she is not a Papillion dog?? She favors my happy pappy :D

We had a gelding that had a talented tail. Only horse that I ever saw that could wring the entire tail over the middle...

This is an example of how something is misused. The point of a small one handed spin is to QUIT when the horse's feet stop. Then drop the rein and relax, chill, stand quietly and breath. I have used...
