I would pay up to 5k for the right horse. I got this guy for 2200. He had a minor bow in his last race. I also got there with my trailer the day after he posted on canter and his trainer pulled out...

Have a good buyers agent. I am under contract on a property and my agent is fantastic. She helped us through the purchase of our first home and knew exactly what we had to do when. Our current...

While pro-Stubben, this video will talk you through some fitting issues.

Take note where he describes the front points of the tree. For a horse with...

Very cute! She looks like a horse that will be very easy to collect and adjust. Post more photos when you have her under saddle. I love seeing the before and after shots.

I guess I didn't really answer the question... I'd go up to $5000 for the right horse. Having said that I haven't seen one listed yet that I'd pay that much for.

I just bought some. Can't wait to try it! And I can't wait to throw out my PINE scented glycerine soap. Pine? Really? I didn't even notice when I bought it and it stinks up my house!

I bought my last horse for $2200 at Penn National. Even with a fresh minor bowed tendon he is tall, black, big-boned and gorgeous. He was worth every penny. His trainer had a list of 8 call backs and...

I haven't seen too many of these types of demos other than what they show on TV but it seems to me that the "demo riders" are more like clinic participants and are getting quite a bit of training...

Sweet iron is old tech... but they found a way to put a blue coating on it that wears off over time so they look cool and different when you buy them. Great marketing. You can find sweet iron bits...

One of my kill-buyer rescues, Max, was a Percheron cross, only about 16.2 but built like a tank. He was a fabulous trail horse, surprisingly light on his feet with a lot of go for such a big boy. He...

Give it a couple weeks. After moving from Florida to Nevada my mare was a bit ouchie. It took about 3-4 weeks to completely resolve itself. In the meantime I rode with boots. After the 4 week...

My dad sells industrial laundry chemicals and gets these 15 gallon blue tanks that are just perfect. They're cylindrical, about 18" in diameter and about 2 1/2 feet tall (roughly guessing her [edit-...

and they tend to make a whistling sound that's really annoying if I leave them in my ears at a gallop.

I like to listen to music while I ride and I use the crummy ear bud headphones that came with my shuffle. I can hear decently with the volume on low, but I find that I end up taking the things out of...

You're absolutely right. Those babies are drilled into carrying themselves that way. Side reins + a training fork. They don't come out of the womb pussyfooting like that!

Wow. I'm glad to know that about the bares. I've been going back and forth about which type of boots to get. Anyone know how easy/hard it is to pull the gaiters off of the epics? I'd like to be able...

I second Cinder's advice.

Looks like you have a sweet and lovely little mare with a lot of try and a good heart. She just needs to know that it's OK to GO. Forget all the maneuvers right now and...

A GOOD farrier and a GOOD barefoot trimmer will essentially trim the same way. That said, there are plenty of BAD farriers and BAD trimmers, either of which should not be allowed anywhere near your...

I apprenticed with a farrier that I highly respect for about 6 months while he was in a tight spot and desperately needing help. For the first couple weeks I pretty much just pulled shoes and trimmed...

Oh no... I get all my hopes up and of course the only size they don't have in the bargain bin is her size. Doh! :no:

Where did you find them half price? Do they have more for sale?

Oooh even better since my saddle is nearly the same shade of turd brown!

Eruss, I would never let you near any horse of mine. You obviously have some severe emotional insecurities if you feel the need to start a thread purely for the sake of bashing barefoot trimmers. If...

Whoa!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I have been dying to find a set of fenders I can fit to my Freeform saddle since I hate the blevins buckles and I'd love to be able to ride without my half chaps all the...
