My horse loves to go to shows. We event, and his dressage is SO much better at shows than at home. And he loves hanging out at the trailer with his hay bag taking in all the action. I wish I had time...

My last order I never got a shipping confirmation and it just arrived on my doorstep yesterday in less than 2 weeks. So maybe you will get lucky!

My OTTB is super-soft and is more likely to get behind the bit. But my other tb (unraced) has the opposite problem and wants to lean/pull on the bit. I would be concerned that she is giving so little...

When I first started re-riding, I could NOT mount my 16.3 horse from the ground. But the flexibility came back (even though I was in my 40s at the time!). Now both my horses are about 16.2, and I can...

I wonder why it has taken so long to ban toe grabs when the studies were done years ago showing they increased breakdown rates? Sometimes this sport is very frustrating!

Well, she seems to have a new pony on her webshots page. I wonder what happened to Clyde; he is gorgeous.

Mike Pegram give the most awful names to his race horses. I think the worst was "Isitingood", who briefly held a world record until it was broken by the wonderfully-named Atticus (so don't believe...

Summer our two are on 24 hr turnout, but I swear it takes just as long as when we have to do stalls.

1. Mr KC gets up at 5 AM to turn them out on their grassy paddock (so they can have some...

I just don't understand this at all. Why are riding clothes 2 sizes smaller than normal clothes (at least)? Are they trying to make us all anorexic?

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw Zito was involved with those other two. He is a better horseman (or at least a more compassionate one), and they are yesterday's news.

Glimmerglass, I would have sworn I was witnessing greatness that day at Belmont Park when Borrego won the JCGC. What a performance! I was so confident he would win the BC. (Shows what I know!)....

Only if all copies of the race video are somehow miraculously lost :lol:.

I would say Secretariat was great, even though he didn't race past three. He ran very fast times in the TC races, and I love the way he dominated on the turf as well.

Does it really matter? If he had been perservered with, he still would have finished last!

I like those names. Now, Lil E Tee, that would have been an embarassing name for TC winner (yes, before someone tells me the obvious, I know he didn't win the Preakness). Smarty Jones also likely...

I knew she was being sarcastic, too. Maybe next time use more emoticons. Like this ;););););););). Or maybe the heat is just making people cranky:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:.

Well, I certainly hope no one thinks my post was slamming the Amish religion. My point was this.
1) I see MANY lame Amish buggy horses.
2) Driving a lame horse on hard pavement is inhumane, and...

Yes, I think that their are certain moral values as a modern society that should transcend the different cultures. How we treat our animals is one of them. We no longer allow dog fights, cock fights,...

I drive to Lancaster county often, since my in-laws live in Strasburg. I'm surprised at how many lame buggy horses I see. I would say 20% or more are noticebly lame. I guess it's not surprising, all...

From my recollection of the Belmont, Charismatic was already beaten when he broke down. Of course, in terms of outcome, it was very heatbreaking. I loved Touch Gold nailing Silver Charm; I never...

I like the idea of making it for 4 year olds. That way you remove a lot of the pressure on pushing the babies. I'm not sure why some of you are so resistant to DISCUSSING this. (It's not like it will...

Well, no one has really excited me this year, and I haven't been following too closely, but here are my picks:

1. Monba--awesome breeding. Love Maria's Mon
2. Cowboy Cal--because I have a "Cal"...

Well, the wikipedia entry doesn't really describe the controversy very well. I think anyone who didn't know the situation and read it would say, "so what"? Plus it is inaccurate, Waterwheel, to my...

I'm hoping Holly is too busy picking up her new donkey to update:).

How about asking the kid to muck stalls to fulfill the rest of her hours? Or better yet, the mom:lol:.
