Athenry, Ireland

Several riderless horses. I have too many! ;)

I, too, only heard today, and am also shocked.

evalee was a tremendous help to me (and all of us) when I was a mod - she kept those alerts and questions coming.

My heart and my prayers go out...

I hate to be a naysayer, but what if a problem, such as a HEART ATTACK was the CAUSE of the rotational fall - that is the horse had something like that happen the moment before take off, cause him...

There used to be (18 or 19) but I am not sure any more.

Cockatoo was found here in Ireland by my friend Ann O'Grady. She saw "star potential" in him in the field, bought him, and gave him his...

Actually, he wasn't presented to the IHB due to an old injury that would disqualify him right off. (They, the IHB, are re-thinking that, well, supposedly.)

I do agree that there are some...

23 ponies, not just 21....

I feel for you, ESG! I am also glad YOU are better.

I lost one of my two last year's foals last Monday. Long story - but, believe me, I haven't stopped crying...

Take care!

The rule when I was a professional ski patrol was that if the person we picked up refused to go to the hospital, we would keep them in the patrol room for at least an hour with their BP monitored...

Ah, Janet, you were closer to VHV's location, whereas I was down the road from GM! You probably saw far more of VHV, while I, GM... :lol:

(It really was a mass conspiracy :lol: that and the crest...

Thanks, Janet, as I said, I had passed out, so was sitting in the hospital and had no input in the decision.

I do have another example: An OLD friend of mine (one of those people you have known...

I agree on the H/Eq whoops (originally started by GM back in tne 60's, by the way...) ridiculous - and, at this point, I really DOUBT any judge in his/her right mind pays attention to them anyway......

Has this always been the case, Janet? This was about 10-12 years ago. It was the Fence Judge who made the call, I believe. (I passed out later in the day, so wasn't around to urge them to object to...

That, Reed, is frightening indeed, and I would certainly make sure THAT EMT was not invited back to officiate at any events!

Head injuries are not the only dangerous sport injuries: when I was a...

No. I wouldn't go, for all the reasons above...

Or I would go braided "Irish style" - that is about 7 braids down the neck. :) Takes about 5 minutes and doesn't look bad at all! ;)

Seriously,...

I am posting this here rather than a specific discipline, as I believe it crossed discipline boundaries.

As you PC'ers know, outside assistance is ferbotten. Absolutely. It is also not allowed in...

Ah, that works with these edjeet horses! What happens here most of the time is that the mud is so deep around the gates, it takes too much energy to wheel and bolt - mud stops them every time!!

Simply put, Caitlin, nowadays, you have a fund, not a portfolio of individual stocks - depending on your investment firm, of course.

Many firms and private banks no long allow smaller (say, under...

I admit, I am a middle-aged chicken and no longer event. But, sometimes I do the Irish "Hunter Trials" which for all intents and purposes is Eventing without the Dressage and SJ! ;) And you can go...

Thanks Rainy Day that is SO true. And also it must be considered that everyone is losing money in the market right now. One million invested two years ago is probably worth 70% of that now, if not...

Ah, Denny, that is why the bred for hunt racing/steeplechasing horses here in Ireland are such incredible finds for eventing. Or the mares are bred to ISH for eventing. The 'chasing horses, like the...

Yup, you are! :(

:lol:

By the way, as was discovered with the dog food, many different feeds may be processed in the same plants. If Purina has the problems, then TC may also. You need to contact them (and threaten, if...

OMG!!!

Sounds like poisoning to me! What about your water - is there a factory or something that may have dumped toxins in a stream or could there be something buried nearby that finally leached...

Thanks, G. But that is a pretty simple answer, and I have heard of live seized assets that have wound up not doing very well. :(



She may be a dear friend, and I have no doubt she would never...
