Kristy (Exceleventing), Thank You for saying what so many others think!! Why people put their horses well-being over getting a stupid ribbon is beyond me! I dont think people realize how they make...

I board and Scarlet and Grey. Its a beautiful farm, with tons of trails (150 Acres), a covered ring, 3 jump arenas and two dressage arenas (standard and small). It is just behind the woodlands....

I just noticed that Legacy Tack is having a sale, 10% off all bridles.

What ever happened to Finvara after that? Was he ok?

Yea, I've seen that. I was more curious about this specific rule change proposal, not all of them.

What does everyone think of this rule? For? Against?
At all levels, or should it teir BN-T vs Prelim and above?

You're wrong, its allowed.
Like I said, before you comment on eventing rules (either USEA or FEI), you should read them.
And, what does that have to do with beating an exhausted horse? I've seen...

Why? I can honestly say that in all my years of eventing, I havent.

I have NEVER seen a rider 'kick' or 'beat' and 'exhausted' horse to keep going. I am not sure that you have either, if you have, tell us when. I'd love to hear it. And if you do see it you should...

Most of these accidents are taking place in FEI events, not USEA. So, it really doesnt matter if the USEA takes great action. The FEI is a seperate entity. So, really, your attitude should be...

I'm sure that he was in trouble before he fell. I acutally hope that he was (not really, I acutally hope that we can figure out how to prevent this from ever happening again). This sport doesnt need...

We dont know that yet.
Gnep asked what we saw.

I see YET ANOTHER ROTATIONAL FALL!! Maybe the horse did have heart trouble, but in the end, it rotated and fell.

Does anyone know why EIPH always seems to effect horses just on the takeoff to a jump? You dont hear about horses dropping in between fences. Why is that?

So, if someone has been going Prelim successfully for a long time (years), and happens to fall off 2 times within 6 months, will they have to go back down to training level for 2 shows to re-qualify?...

So, becuase a course is listed as "Difficult, Technical, Challenging Courses" we should expect 2 horse fatalities, and a major rider injury??? WTF????
That is the biggest bunch of crap I've ever...

I think since they are foam flocked, you'd have to completely replace the foam. Which is really expensive.
Thats why I went with a Black Country. I didnt want the hassle if my horse changed shape,...

Names, but no contact info.

I put this on the CMP thread too, but I thought I'd add it here.

Mine Is!! I buy the Purina brand BOSS. So, they do sell it.

Can you say who the new owner is? Will he stay in Area V? That would be so cool!

I just have to say that I cant imagine ever taking one of my 5 year olds Preliminary. What is the rush? I ALWAYS wait until they are at LEAST 7. It is so taxing on their minds at that level. Its...

Just wanted to say "Thanks Ann"!!!
My box arrived today, at which time I promptly ripped into it. And... here is what I found....

The coolest hoof...
