It might be best to leave the front boots off or use open fronts until he learns to pick his legs up. A horse that rubs fences enough to wear his boots out is probably not one you want to ride xc.

There are worse things than not being able to consistently field gold medal teams. Is it really worth it if we have to ruin the horses to get there?

I have a headshaker, and I found that he destroyed the hairnets pretty quickly and spazzed about the tights (but he is kind of weird about his nose.) I use the Cashel net with a loose flash noseband...

If he's never seen/ smelled/ heard a donkey before, do be aware that some horses find them horrifying. For some reason the smaller ones are even worse than the normal- sized ones.

I think the most worrying part is that she's another O'Connor protege, which means this is clearly a schedule they're advocating.

Does this mean she left the xc course without being checked, or is there a more formal process for FEI? When I've fallen on xc at a HT or been a jump judge and there's been a fall, the EMTs have...

OMG, dogs mating, the horror!

Sorry, am I missing something?

It sounds like the job is worth about $10 an hour.

Did a hunter clip in mid-October, and will probably redo in the beginning of Feb. My guy isn't too bad, except along the underside of his neck--but I hate shedding, so I'll preempt it any way I can!

When I've dealt with it with foals/ weanlings, it has been within 48 hrs, often much quicker. I've never treated an adult horse that was off its feed. Are you still monitoring his temp.? It's...

Paper, or well dampened pellets/ shavings. Make sure the horse is on the end closest to doors/ has the most possible windows, etc. Never ever sweep/ blow the aisle while the horse is in.

Yes, Rock Point is definitely covering mares this year. He's not owned by the MARE center any more. However, he is older--24 or 25, IIRC--and I think is probably only going to be available LC. If...

Honestly, I think you are making a big deal of nothing. It's pony club--it's supposed to be about sportsmanship, not scores.

I have a JR8 (cheaper version of the GR8) and a Pro. Love them both. The JR8 is great for all three phases, plus it will pass in the hunters if I need it to.

We've had lots of Rock Point babies, we have horses for his owner. He is back at Smallwood this year, as he was repurchased by Mede Cahaba--he had a couple of very successful runners over fences...

The only one I've had any luck with is the Sleazy, which is sold by State Line. It's a little heavier than most, and it doesn't stretch out the way the Weatherbeeta ones, in particular, do. Make...

I would rather, a million times over, have one that came totally unhandled rather than one that came from someone who wasn't used to handling foals. Keep in mind that a weanling can easily be 14-15...

My mom's beagle tore his just before she got him (from the pound), and largely healed sound. If he gets too tired, or strains it, he'll limp for a day or two, but nothing serious.

My...

Tour of New Bolton?

Hey, it might be easier than you think. I've lost 85 lbs since June.

This is me in May: http://www.photoreflect.com/pr3/orderpage.aspx?pi=0EBK0070180009&po=9

230 lbs and 5'3--seeing these...

I don't know if it's an option or not, but if his stall is big enough, could he share with the other horse? Sometimes that works surprisingly well with worriers.

I've known a couple that never stopped in all the years I knew them, and I truly don't think it's a good thing. Maybe if you never compete outside the hunter ring, off of manicured footing and away...

Depends. If the horse is really suitable tempermentally for an 11 year old, and she takes lessons with a quality instructor who will make sure she has the basics down and is prepared before she...

It's generally not as detrimental to the horse as it is to the surfaces he's cribbing on (and possibly your nerves). If you can put hot wire up to protect the fence, put his buckets on the ground,...

Thanks! Sadly she's better off than me, even with all those loans, so I'd feel weird about cash or gift cards. I'm also pretty sure she has Vet Notes. The Practical Guide might work. I like the...

Any ideas? She has her own stethoscope already. That was the first thing I thought of.:)
