We had a huge one. It never made it to the track, they gave him to a 6'5" football build guy.

jn4jenny that pic won't come up for me but I'd love to see it.

I had mine knee rolls done for about $200. It helped a lot but for some reason he made the knees out of Naugahyde, total surprise...

The joy of a good TB :). This is one of the reasons I love them, they try so hard and they work through their physical issues just as hard as a god human athlete would. I think that if you work...

He didn't just stumble coming up off the rail and catch himself on his knees for a few strides? I have seen that happen a lot at the track with babies.

Funny, I was thinking of doing that here too. I don't mind how it looks at all, and our horses eat it well.

I like the champion ones too, I got the men's to wear under my crash vest for the race horses. For the show horses I got Danskin T's from Walmart - $8! Can't go wrong there. They are super...

US doesn't do it but look at China and like countries. Their government routinely turns out top athletes in sports like diving and gymnastics, these are programs they are most involved in. And they...

nobody?

It sounds like he doesn't know quite how to accept the bit yet. I think I'd try to find one he likes before I lock his mouth down on one. Try out a few different sizes and shapes. When I break my...

I have an old Hermes that has cracked panels. I am wondering if I can have them replaced as opposed to recovered, hopefully to fit a larger horse? It perfectly usable right now, especially on the...

I don't know that there is a made pad out there. If there is I have never heard of one. The racing people often get rubs from their feet (a by product of holding a strong horse) and use sheepskin...

Very hard to tell right now - she looks like she is in a very uneven growth stage with her back end at a different age than her shoulder, legs, etc.

Not all saddles have flex but many do. For example my Hermes does not seem to but our Vega has some flex and the Pariani has quite a lot. All fine for that particular saddle.

See a difference or not see a difference means it may help your horse or the pain may not be coming from where a block, chemical or otherwise, would help. Just because your horse has pain in his...

Maybe he doesn't canter straight on the lunge? I once sorted out a horse that did this by teaching him to jump little jumps on the lunge. It helped him open his back and not be upset about losing...

I don't have them but I covet them ;). They are gorgeous.

I have one with a parrot mouth, doesn't bother him under saddle at all. One thing he does need is to have his feed moistened so it can clump together, it helps him eat it better.

Actually, I believe they are wool FELT flocked. Mine is and they explained to me when I tried to have it reflocked (thinking wool flocked meant wool, not wool felt) that they can't reflock them...

I feel you :). I think fatponies is right. That way, if they do finally step up then you haven't burnt your bridge.

Can anyone recommend a place I can buy a few decent leather brow bands cheap? Craft time :)

Sounds like he has just figured out that he doesn't have to lunge, if he does not want to, and you aren't going to press the issue.

Ponypoor, beautifully said. Lunging is a lost art.

They are called run-downs. I used to use them on a little horse that had a scar under his hind ankle. When he really dug in it would hit the ground and break open again. I used the cotton, vet wrap...

Agree with the teeth issues. Make sure those are sorted out, and you have a bit that fits and is gentle, and I'd try long lining him to get him used to having his mouth used.

I've seen a number of horses for sale on Craigslist. Also, don't you have to provide a halter with a horse you sell (read move to new home) or is that only when money passes?

My husband goes through periods of non-sweating. It's actually very painful for him and kind of dangerous as he over heats easily and his temp stays up for a long time. I don't think Gatorade would...
