To the OP: Until your last post, I was confused about the kind of favortism that you were showing (or afraid you were showing).

I think the general rule, good for all situations is: Never make...

I would think that the Landowner would have (should have) written into the rental agreement that it is renting the grounds where is/as is and that it cannot be held liable for injury, etc., etc. to...

Will it be streamed live anywhere?

My top is $5000. And, for that money I have bought horses who were multiple champions at AA shows.

Money well spent. One was priced at $75,000 (failed the vet....) and I turned down $65,000...

His pedigree is not a modern one (well, he was a '68 model, so one would not expect to see modern day influences there. :D ) Being inbred to Pharos and Phalaris, might be the key to his jumping. ...

Thanks for all the nice words about my Boopsie. :D I knew every day that I owned him that he was the horse of my lifetime.

Laurie, I told Molly many more stories than she had room to print. She...

WAY TO GO, Tish!!!!

I have goosebumps just hearing about Mikey's success in both the IHF and IJF all in the space of 3 weeks!:eek:

What an incredible horse -- And a credit to you for seeing...

I remember when Ira rode Hoodwink as a green horse. He was a gorgeous, soft rider. Had he not gone off the deep end he could have been one of the great ones.

Hoodwink was a beautiful gray (for...

One time, waaay back when, the winter circuit was:

WPB -- 2 weeks
Ocala -- 1 week
Jacksonville -- 1 week
Tampa -- 2 weeks

we were in Jacksonville and it was Sunday, Grand Prix day. Margie...

I am certainly not a vet but I am old so that should count for something. Like R Ayers, I believe in tincture of time.

I also believe in the absolute minimum stall rest possible. If your guy is...

I a little surprised to discover you all don't know that those of us in the hunter world call you "Darksiders" :yes::winkgrin:

If you need hay in bulk (several tons at a time) call Charlie Adams in Georgetown.

He buys from Ohio, Ky and the upper mid-West, gets good hay and is a great guy to work with.

PM me for his...

I don't know how much bedding you all use, but 2" would never keep bedding inside my stalls. I bed about 4" deep and then bank the stalls, so that even more falls in around the front and outside...

I am currently dealing with a similar wound except that it is across the bottom of the horse's neck. Evidently she tried to garrote herself (and she almost succeeded).

So, no wrapping will stay...

I have a horse who has had surgery. The first time I took him to an equine surgeon I was told that the flap was only 80% paralyzed and so he (horse) was not ready for surgery.

The surgeon...

I have dealt with this problem and have had good and bad results with different ways of coping with it.

First, a displaced soft palate might result in a noisy breathing problem, but it is more...

Did your trainer close out all of his/her other client's entries? I know that when I was in full day care at a show, my trainer always did all the office work. That was part of the complete...

The black and white of the rules may seem frustrating, but the AHSA had to draw an absolute line in the sand because there were so many people who tested gray areas and pushed boundaries far beyond...

A couple of other things from the "good old days" (that might have been mentioned -- I haven't read every post.)

Shoeing: Back "then" all horses where hot shod in steel or iron shoes. And they...

To the glycerin afficianados -- How do you clean a bridle with out getting suds (aka leather smegma) in and around all the keepers and the edges of the braided reins? I spend as much time with a rag...

That is true. An ammie can teach lessons and can catch ride other people's horses as long as no money (or value in trade) takes place.

However, there was a wealthy "ammie" in California about 20...

I trust you charged said trainer $51 as a "bridle cleaning fee" :rolleyes:

I also have the heavy duty version of a golf cart: the E-Z Go workhorse..

It is slightly bigger than a regular golfcart, with 4 wheel drive and a good size engine which can pull a drag. It also...

Since you are new to the country I would not recommend a used tractor. Too much can go wrong and you cannot take a tractor to the repair shop. It is a pain (and expensive) to find someone reliable...

About 10, no 20 -- actually 30!!! years ago :eek: I was at a horse show outside of Boston.

My trainers told me we had to leave for the airport to fly to Minneapolis/St Paul to try this wonderful...
