Hi, Everyone. We got a small area fenced off for him and he's been out grazing for about an hour. That gave me a chance to give his stall a good cleaning and re-bedding. As for all the attention...

G'morning everyone. You all get to name him, but yes, in view of current circumstances, "Roy" needs to be in the name somewhere, somehow. Maybe his barn name can be "Sir" or "Starfish".

Awwwww, how sweet.

Not much to report today. He's very good at eating, drinking, peeing, pooping and grazing. We should be fencing his turnout paddock tomorrow. He's got an end stall and the paddock will allow him...

Good morning! Thanks for all of the facebook friend requests. It's amazing how small the world is, and that some of us have been acquainted with each other for years.

The little guy had a nice...

Hi, everyone. Wednesday evening update. He's eating, drinking and pooping. he got out for a hand graze this morning and again this evening. Vet has been scheduled. My WONDERFUL farrier has...

The extra _ and _ in the email address are a way of breaking up the email address so an automated sniffing/snooping program can't get the address and use it maliciously, or for their own gain. Send...

Here's a link to a photo. It should be set for public viewing, but if it's not, please let me know. Pardon the bad lighting and poor photo quality. He seem happy and interested in the food and...

Update for all concerned. He's here, and he's very thin. He's in a stall for a couple of days for safekeeping, but we will hand graze him once he's settled down. He has a lot of energy, and is...

Paradox, I may not be at HC today. Seems like my farm is the destination for the CL TWH on the Off Course forum, and arrival may be in the late afternoon or early evening. I won't know until later....

Gotcha on the refeeding protocol. I have the nice baled alfalfa from TSC, and will portion it out very slowly. Will make sure you guys who know how to do this properly are in the loop. Current...

Good morning! I guess I went to bed just before things heated up on this. Glad it's working out!

I can give $100. Is there a paypal address?

Just got back from work and the barn and saw this. I can contribute some money. Currently do not have a working trailer, so can't be of any assistance there. However, I do have an empty stall in...

Are you able to spend a lot of time with him going over ground rails, fake flowers on the ground, brush on the ground, etc? And spend time going between different types of standards? He probably...

Today's update....Snick trotted sound both ways, we won the class he was awake for, and also got reserve champion for the division.

Paradox, we have a really fun Tuesday evening 5:30 adult group...

Glad the new barn worked out Peg. It's such a relief when your horse is in a place where competent people are in charge. Too bad it's so far from home, but at least you don't worry about him all...

Just hope that you don't work somewhere that's downsized so many people that you get stuck doing everything. Ask me how I know. I have approval to hire a 20 hour a week person to replace a...

Paradox....c'mon down if it's not pouring down rain. I think we're in the 2'6" Special Hunter division b/c I'm not interested in any MTHJA points, and everyone else who's in Modified or...

A friend I ride with (who is a PT) and I were discussing the exact same thing yesterday. It seems like a promising career path. Pick which horse show circuits you'll be at, put an ad in COTH, make...

Get a laser pointer for your video lesson. Stop video and show straight line (or not) from bit thru rider's arms up to elbow. Explain hip and knee angles. Show different types off releases. Let...

When the weather is nice enough, be sure to get video of the kids. Save video for a day when it's too cold for a whole lesson. To appease the parents, have a very cold lesson include some mounted...

19 degrees outside right now. The cold has caused me to change my plans, and that almost never happens. The original plan was to do lots of no stirrups work during January. The current plan is to...

Consignment? Surely you jest. Our local tack shop lost a friend's consignment Butet. No money, no saddle, no explanation. Just a big run-around. I'm still waiting to hear the end of that story.

My local tack shop has the "whatever we have in stock is exactly what you need" mentality. That does not work for me. In August I went there, and asked them to get me a particular demo saddle which...
