I have a pre-green hunter who will be able to do the small juniors or a/os eventually (HUGE step). It is weird to whoa in the line on a 15.3 horse. LOL. I also have a nice solid 4' jumper, not that...

If I can get my house sold I would like to take two horses to Florida for the entire winter show season. I started riding late and have alot of catching up to do! I think it would help to be able...

It depends-if I have had a crazy day at work, got stuck in traffic and am already stressed out, it's probably not the best night to tackle a new skill. On the other hand, if it's a nice Saturday...

Thanks everyone! I am going to enjoy grooming them, giving them treats and watching them enjoy mad games of halter tag for the next several weeks guilt free!

People do like to ride with him. He offers clinics in my area and they fill every time. I have never/will never go to one, but people who do say they get alot out of it. I had actually considered...

I have kind of "shelved" my two show horses. For various reasons, I don't have the time or desire to ride right now. I don't have the time to devote to it seriously, and I am not a 2x a week...

I couldn't find anything in the USEF rulebooks. Is it a conflict of interest if I work in the Secretary office at a horse show that horses from my barn are going to? We own the barn, but we have a...

Had a similar issue with a horse with epilepsy. They said she wasn't "suffering" so when I opted to put her down after she had a grand mal seizure that last about 5 minutes they paid me zero. I was...

We own our farm, but I am an amateur, and plan to stay that way. Basically, the boarding covers the facility costs.
Our single biggest expense is labor. We don't do anything "off the books" so...

Thank you for all the good advice (especially Halo & Nancy M). We looked at Dogwood, and I got all their info, and it looked like a TON of fun. We live in the Northeast and love Saratoga, and they...

Hi
Thinking about buying my husband a horse that does more than eat. We have show horses, but I have loved horse racing since I was a little kid, and used to work at a TB farm. I am wondering what...

We just built a new barn, and looked into, but in the end decided it wasn't worth it. Some cost savings, but not enough to justify the bin and the upkeep. We have 39 stalls, most horses on on BS...

Jeff Cook is at our barn in Mass on the North Shore January 30 and 31st. We usually have a couple of open slots for non-boarders

We own a facility (a pretty decent one) and don't get anything from the trainer. We do all the board, plus a public lesson program, and have our horses in training with our trainer. I figure if I...

Downeast Medal was also all the way up in Skowhegan Maine. For years the Maine Medal was closer to NH-one year they even ran at Winning Ways. Skowhegan is really far for alot of the farms that used...

Gretchen Anderson is not a member of the NHHJA board and wins all the time. Top trainers are just that-top trainers. They get to be "top trainers" because they win, and usually have alot of horses-...

My parents were definitely not into the horse thing. They could go to a soccer tournament all weekend but five minutes at a horse show was enough for them. I used to tell them I was going to grow...

Go for the two T's- TURNOUT and TILDREN. I had a nice A level breed horse with navicular and ringbone. We bred her and brought her home, pulled her shoes, injected her with Tildren and waited. ...

Hi
I have been asked to be the show secretary for "C" level one day show. They asked me how much I would charge-I have no idea what to tell them.
It's at a nice indoor facility in New England and...

Stock market over 10,000 today, that is a big psychological barrier for some people. Laissez les bon-temps again.

Trainer in my barn was just saying today she needed more inventory of made horses. She has had people with 20-40K to spend looking for made, doesn't have to be fancy, and nothing to show them....

Story from over the weekend-my horse was very fresh in his O/F classes-fresh to the point where he bucked and double-barreled right in front of the judge. However he hacked great-and this horse...

Do you have x-rays taken before the lameness to see if there are actually changes? I am only saying that b/c I bought horse with absolutely awful front x-rays, who is still going strong (at lower...

I agree with Lucassb-sounds like you are in the Northeast where I am. If the horse is as easy and brave as you sound, I think you could get decent money even if she won't go bigger than 3'3. As an...

Most hunter judges will not use you on the card in a kimberwicke, unless they absolutely have to, like more ribbons that horses, or some of the other horses had major, major problems (bucking,...
