    I am considering trying to place the project

    but at this point he still has stitches in his leg. He was for sale prior to this. And as luck would have it, someone e-mailed me about him the day he went in for surgery. Typical.

    Berne and walls are also good

    I have Navy Blue and pale Pink insulated overalls and light blue cammo overalls for summer coverups. I am so all about it these days and I would love it if we could wear them on the walk into work.

    So, if you taught 24...

    Check your boarding contracts

    Most of them give the barn owner permission to provide basic care and emergency care for your horse. Care for which you will be financially responsible. I have never seen a boarding contract that did...
  14. I can relate

    Except that mine paws his into the mud and then eats only the pieces he wants.

    Right now I have two kinds of hay. Slightly late cut timothy and gorgeous orchard grass. Guess what they are...

    Oh my..

    I thought that's what the running martingale was for :-)

  18. go with the 17.5

    The flaps are usually larger the larger you go.
    Basically in many cases the 16.5 and 17 have one size flap and the 17.5 and 18 have a slightly larger/longer one.
  19. Another thing to think about.....

    I am 5'8" tall, weight about 120 pounds and have a 34" inseam. NOTHING off the rack really fits me. I always look at 17.5 inch saddles and the only thing off the rack that fits is the Albion Original...

    Just to re-iterate what has been said

    It is not legal to use your student loans to pay off non-student related items. Your horse's board and show fees are not educationally related. And guess what.... car payments can't be made with...
