There's a reason that the main market for Connemaras are middle aged women. I went to the Region 1 breed show last summer and all the riders were well over 40 and the ponies were all really calm and...

He's barefoot. He's half ridden by me/half by pro. Light work. Half trails. It happens whether he's in work or not.

The chiro checked the saddle fit and thought it was fine.

You mean massage? Stupid question. I should have looked at your user name!

He's not having muscle spasms. She checks for that when she adjusts him.

Hi COTHERS,

My 5 year old Connemara X gelding has an SI issue where his left SI joint locks up and requires regular chiropractic care. So, I've been having the chiro visit every 5 weeks and she un...

My barnmates haul with a heavy duty Tundra and you'd never know it had a trailer behind it. It has a GREAT turning radius and drives really well. If I didn't share a truck with my Chevy loving dad,...

Steffie Baer is in the area. She's got a great reputation. She's about a half hour from UMass.

Actually I spoke too soon. Schneiders waived the fee and gave me a credit. So I'm totally happy with them. I will shop there again!

No more Happy Mouth bits for me tho!

:D

Maybe pull their shoes tho.

I had a Schneider's blanket tear the first time I washed it. They want a $30 restocking fee plus shipping to replace it which means I'll have to shell out $60ish dollars to return a $140 blanket that...

I was just thinking the same thing.. but it was more like 1981.:D

It's a long piece of elastic that feels like a bungie cord. It has clips at either end. The top goes over the horse's poll and the ends go down through the bit and you clip it between their front...

I had such a nice relaxed ride last night I think we're going to start transitioning to a standing martingale tomorrow. He's back in 24x7 turnout and I can literally watch his brain dialing down to...

No, I meant the stretchies are looped and *I* have nice soft contact with half halts in all the right places. He's not fighting with them at all. They are slack. Maybe a quick head up "What's that?"...

bump for the night crew... Need some inspiration!

I'm with you on the psychological thing. I took him on the first hack of the spring on Sunday TOTALLY expecting last fall's horse. A bit gifaffe-y to start and then after 10 minutes bum-ba-dee-dah...

OK, 2 40 + women.
One Black horse with blaze and 3 white socks.
Raunchy sense of humor and no shame, but with with no wish to offend. :lol:
One Costume parade.

Help! What do we do? All I can...

I know neck stretchers are a bit controversial. I have no illusions that it's helping me frame my horse, but it just gives me such a calm ride and I can't figure out why.

In the stretchies, I go...

What's up with the suit pants? WHO wears suit pants on a horse?

What is the "right kind" of boot trees? Right now, I just have a pair of regular Ariat Boot trees in there...

I just scored a brand new pair of Vogels in my size for a Bahgain (as we say in Boston). They actually fit! They are a bit tight, but no tighter than I recall any other new boots being brand new. The...

What are PREBiotics?

So, we've been on the lyme meds for about 10+ days and he's almost back to normal. But he sort of goes back and forth. I had a GREAT ride last Saturday. My trainer rode...

I like the riding school. Maybe it's because I didn't have my own horse when I was a kid, but I love my trainer's "barn rats" around. They're good, hard working girls and bring a good energy to the...

What part of the country are you in?

Do a lyme test. It wouldn't necessarily put him off his food, but it sure can cause mega personality changes.

Ask me how I know :P

Thanks guys. I spoke to my vet today. He was very optimistic. My father almost died from lyme a couple years ago, so this is scary. I know my vet had a similar experience himself, so I know he takes...
