My old OTTB gelding has never liked free jumping. I've tried several times in the last 15 years, and finally gave up. Oddly enough, that never translated to his feelings about jumping under saddle -...

:lol::lol: We have one like that, too. Oh darn, he hasn't sold yet... maybe he won't sell until I get to start him under saddle (fingers crossed)... "but Honey, I AM trying..."



Very nice way...

Google Analytics is great (and free!), I definitely recommend it to watch your site's traffic. You do have to be able to add a small tracking script into each page's code though.

I think having...

Not always. My old TB gelding has 100% straight front legs, but paddles anyway. He raced until he was 6 1/2, then I did eventing and jumpers with him for many years after that. Now, at age 21, he's...

Thats definitely what I was thinking. I've jumped a few of them so far, but haven't actually seen them jump from the ground yet to observe their style.



These guys are Huge - as in "very...

HA HA! :lol:


That's why we're only letting ourselves keep one...and also why we'll occasionally remind him that his younger siblings could become the ONE if he lets it go to his head. :)

I'll know in about 5 months. :) The Yeager baby that we've allowed ourselves to keep will get started this summer when he turns 3, I can't wait!

Thanks for the info ne1, just the type of info I was looking for.

That's the same video clip that is embedded on his webpage - I didn't catch the meter thing though, those must be some big jumps!...

I've started riding for a GP jumper rider several times a week, helping him exercise his greenies. I should probably be focusing on re-learning how to jump (I was forced to take a break from riding...

I'm still drooling after seeing that free jump. :lol:

I'd love to hear from some Holsteiner fans about types of mares that would be good for him (based on his pedigree, body type, etc).

omare-...

I just posted this new video clip of Limoncello II to Karen's website, and WOW. What a jump! I am really looking forward to meeting this boy in person some day.

I'm just a little over 5' and I love my County Stabilizer. :)

Sorry, but you're not allowed to leave - you haven't been able to come ride with me yet! :winkgrin:

If you end up in northern KY, let me know - I lived that way for a long time. My vote would be...

Gina,
I have skills on the flip-side of what you do. I am good at design, logos, websites, etc - but am not as skilled with the back-end stuff (databases, etc.). Maybe I could help with that-

Oh,...

When I bought my gelding, I asked if he had any vices. The seller said, "Well, he's a bit of a dipper." (picture older cowboy type in rural OH). Anyway, I asked what he meant and he just said,...

We have a sand/rubber mix in our outdoor. My older gelding especially is so much happier with the softer concussion and more spring that it gives. It also doesn't freeze in the winter, and has less...

That's a good question. When my gelding had ulcers it was the same thing - we were feeding him tons (and he was eating it all), but he just wouldn't gain weight. I asked my vet if we could treat for...

Cool - the tickets are pretty expensive, so that is a great offer! I'll definitely swing by the booth (assuming I'll remember by september, I am a blonde artist after all :lol:). If all goes well...

The lady leasing my gelding said that her first horse was her mom's ex-stallion, that was gelded at 17 when she got out of breeding. She said he had been a handful as a stallion, but was wonderful...

I have met Camiros in person, and he is lovely. :)

Is anyone else going this september? I have some Q's about the way they have the ticketing set up-

It looks like there are separate tickets (for bleacher seats) for each of the competitions, and...

We put light blankets on our guys, which has worked well. The weanlings get very thick and fuzzy winter coats, so there is not much need for insulation - but being in the PNW, I like having them with...

I can't stand chronically spooky horses. Total pet peeve. As far as shopping peeves, I hate:
- sale videos that don't show a horse at liberty as well as under saddle. Sometimes I don't like a horse...

Our yearling filly was having issues that led us to believe that she may have ulcers. Our vet recommended 2,000mg 2x a day for a month, and she weighs about 650lbs.

We got the OTC 2 packs of...

My OTTB gelding is the same way. I tried on and off for years to get him used to me carrying whips, but he never could cope with it. I bought him off the track as a 6yo, and I'm sure that's where it...
