I am about to hit "proceed to checkout" on this. It is soooooo cute. And cheerful, considering how miserable and icky it is outside.

Last year I also splurged on the darn Stubben that I want...

I love the colours but do not have that much money to spend on breeches that will get covered with hoofprints and pony snot. However, I do scour eBay for them from time to time. If anyone has any...

There really are not many around here, unfortunately. The one on Grand Island I would probably avoid... Google "Sparks trading post"+SPCA and you'll see why. (:

Honestly, the only place...

I think a horse that listens to you and trusts you is more important than being "bombproof." There's no way to desensitize a horse to every possible thing they can encounter. If my horse gets...

Aye!

(And a hoofs-up from Sam!)

I wanna whine too! I am absolutely done with winter. I can't stand the thought of this continuing for months longer. I didn't get to go see my horse yesterday because I woke up all sniffly and it...

That's awesome... I'm so jealous! I love old things...

I'm another one rooting for UB. I have an absolutely petrifying amount of loans from undergrad, and am taking out more for grad school now. It's wonderful to be able to graduate debt-free. UB is a...

I do like them... they're very very comfortable, I even wear them with jeans to go shopping and stuff. They drop like regular tall boots after a while so they don't rub the back of my knee anymore. ...

I have Muck Chore boots and they're short enough for me (I'm 4'10"). They also have very flexible uppers that might work for muscled calves. Muck boots do have horrendous traction, but you could...

Jesus, I'm 27 and I still want one! I was the kid who built a stall in the garage for my bike, groomed it every day, and two-pointed over speed bumps...

I think I have some latent OCD that comes out in the barn. I like organizing things in general, but am slack about keeping up with it at home and work. At the barn, however, my bridle is always...

45 minutes. I go about once a week right now in the winter, mainly due to not having a car at the moment, plus by the time I get out of work and could get to the barn it's late, dark and cold...

Poor guy... sending lots of jingles to him for a quick and full recovery.

I would like one helmet that does not cost two months' board, doesn't have a skunk stripe, and is not twice as wide as my face. Please tell them that. (:

Yeah, I was figuring next she's going to buy her own pack of hounds. Girl has always been fond of whips...

LOL--that would be the perfect combination for us all! I guess that's the toughest part about being a re-rider. I see the teenage riders at my barn who have spent years riding and have matured in...

FG, you're always welcome to come ride Sam. (: And I highly recommend my lesson barn if you ever want to come try it... I love it there right now and love my new instructor.

He's looking awesome... love his neck!

I've been taking a lot of lessons on schoolies lately, which has been great... it's been a while since I've gotten lessons. I've had a couple weeks off now and have a lesson on Sunday, so I'm sure...

Hah--good point!

I love the smell of horse so much I'm always a little shocked when my husband indicates that it may not be pleasant to all people, possibly even including him. I personally think...

In the winter I wear my muck boots all the time... they're all I have that's really completely waterproof and warm. I get a lot of funny looks from students when I'm going into school in teacher...

I agree... for all the crazy horse people out there (and there are soooo many of them) there are also so many wonderful, open-hearted people. A girl on another board sent me a brand-new rope halter,...

Anyone read a book called "Nine Horses"? I just noticed it in my grad school library; it looks to be a collection of children's stories about horses... can't remember the author. Was wondering...

I wish I had "The Show Gypsies"--it looks great and seems to be so hard to find/expensive!

My in-laws buy me some of the old books on my Amazon wish list every Christmas--I'm trying to replace...
