The Orr Family Farm has just posted the following on their FB page, in case anyone is wondering how they can help:

We have been overwhelmed by the generosity of those fellow horseman who have...

OMG. A worker at the farm said that almost all the horses (80) died. It sounds/look like it was a race farm.

I don't want to watch horses being hurt or killed, but CNN just showed three horses standing amidst a ton of damage near a leveled barn. You couldn't even tell it was a barn.

Unfortunately two...

Super duper cute. Congrats!!

It shouldn't go over the edge or appear to, even in pictures. A good rule of thumb is asking whether you could shorten your stirrups two holes if you had to sit on a smaller horse or something.

Surefire is a great first Training, but they do have a newish ditch and rail that got a lot of people in the last couple of years. I wouldn't do it as a first Prelim...it's big. I love Waredaca's...

Sad to hear it's been sold, but I have to say that of my cohorts in Area II, few of us ever had a pleasant experience at [Un]Pleasant Hollow. I had one of the most FUBAR events there one year, in...

I'd also like to know if she likes her new saddle...thanks! ;)

What horrible news! I have a lot of fond memories of the Coach Stop, but the best was eating there with dear friends the morning after my wedding.

It's truly the end of an era. Middleburg...

Anecdotally, I was in Paris this fall and saw several horse butcher shops. They are unmistakable because they have bronze horse heads and red lighting above the doorways.

Each time we saw one...

That's what I have, and I absolutely love it! I don't have back blocks (didn't want them) so there isn't much there holding me in, which at first was a weird feeling but I'm getting used to it. ...

The Great Falls PC Vaulting Team had a longtime member with Down Syndrome. He was absolutely capable of vaulting at the same level as his peers. I realize it's not the same as riding, but pretty...

Me too! I tried for MONTHS to find one off the rack, but both my horse and I are freaks apparently, so nothing worked. Once I decided I had to go custom, there was no question it had to be...

That is interesting that BC made a custom tree for you...I understood from their rep that the only differences in the trees would be between the saddle types and then their standard sizes from there....

Stackhouse. Period.

You can spend a lot of money on trying a lot of saddles that don't work, or smartly invest that money in a saddle that's guaranteed to fit perfectly.

Devoucoux, Black...

I just bought a new Stackhouse jump saddle, and it's the greatest thing my butt has ever been in. Gorgeous leather, perfectly balanced, impeccably made, and totally comfortable and correct.

The...

Another huge Stackhouse fan here! I've had my monoflap jump saddle for about a month, and both my horse and I absolutely love it. No pony back pain, no problems with my knee hanging over the flap,...

I think those were posted on the 29th and taken at Jumping Branch. (Wasn't that in August?? Probably not a good sign.)

Yes, we're spoiled by GRC, but Palmer's pace is ridiculously slow.

I was going to ask if there was an anvil in the box, too!

After the saddle search from hell, with many saddles shipped back and forth, I can tell you that $100 is waaaaay too high.

I mostly used UPS and the costs averaged between $35 to $50 for 3-day...

Bruce is the best! You will do lots of grids, and you will probably jump a lot higher than you think you should. And then, when it's over, you'll feel really proud of yourself and your pony!
