BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA I can commiserate on that one.

I always say that! The whole horse thing is my mother's fault.

1. 70 extra pounds
2. My savings are about $2million short
3. I only have one horse and she's a 14.1h ARAB
4. I'm kind of lazy

But, hell, my horse is really shiny and we like each other, so I...

How kind of you to lay out the plan for us, slc2! Although, I still think your suggestion of a couple of rides per day is too low. I really think she needs at least 5-6, but what do I know? I've only...

I agree with honey...I'd just assume the scribe was trying to keep up. I've seen +'s & -'s though and that made sense.

What does that even mean? You still didn't answer whether you even like horses. Or how much you've ridden recently.

If you want to become a great rider in short order, you're going to have to...

Do you know what bothers me the most about the OP? Beyond all the stuff that's already been discussed...she talks about this like it's just some sport that sounds easy, and the "animals" are just...

Congratulations!!

In March, she said he was halfway between the two videos as far as how bad he was. So, he's still bad. I don't see any missing pieces.

Thank you so much for stopping by to share the news, and for all you do for us fuller fillies!

Well, that was enlightening. Thanks AnotherRound.

It doesn't matter, and that's what you're not getting. You're likely to get rung out so you can't even ride your test. Everyone at the show is going to look at you and say, "*tsk* I can't believe...

If he did, he'd probably get fired or sued. :)

Er...if I read her post correctly, the only thing that was possibly an issue was her shirt was pale blue. And the other judge didn't have a problem with it. Otherwise, yes: put your best foot forward...

Sooo...this would never happen at a show? Fine...ride your horse in your arena at home. If you want to go out and do fun stuff with a horse, find one who isn't lame.

I can't imagine show management giving you permission to show your lame horse. I agree with the person who said take him trail riding...much less stress, as long as the footing is appropriate for him.

So, a horse is only suitable for dressage if she's capable of eventually doing upper level movements? I disagree. Many, many horses do well at lower levels but won't make it to FEI, and the same with...

My husband thinks it's exceedingly weird that we don't wear shadbellies at all levels, because they traditionally did in the military. <shrug>

Well...cool!

They have one in my size! thank you!

Do you have a link to their store? *sigh* the closest currently listed is about an inch short in the calves, from horse-rider-etc.

Riding clothes.

That was for coat, breeches, and shirt. I got the same size I wear in everything else and everything fit.

Are you still wearing your Hispars?

Thanks, I'm flattered! What's that?
