Very sad to hear it. :(

Nobody will notice or care. Do whatever you like. This is eventing! :)

25 minutes with rubber bands here. My braids look super and I can pop them out by the time I've walked back to the barn...

All things considered, digitals are faster, much safer, very accurate, and dirt cheap. If it weren't a hassle to recycle my old mercury one, I wouldn't even own it any more.

If there is any bruising it should be visible when the horse is trimmed. My farrier trimmed my pony a little short once and there was a tiny spot of blood. She wasn't anything more than just a tiny...

I could be persuaded to part with mine for not much if you could use it. Just would have to find it! :eek: :lol:

Protandim may have "many research studies", but that doesn't mean it's particularly useful in equine ulcers or really at all when ingested. :) A string of small articles in obscure journals is...

I would taper over a few weeks, down from 3 to 2 packs0 for a week, then 2 to 1 for a week, then every other day for about 10 days, for instance. I think you have to look at the ingredients on the...

Have you looked at cork pads? I bought one once out of pure curiosity as to how the material would work under a saddle, and it was actually kind of nice. A little bulky for my taste, but certainly...

Sounds like there's an axe in need of grinding somewhere. Everyone's goals and paths to those goals are different in this sport. It's OK. No, nobody likes to see THAT rider who makes everyone...

I bought a Reactor Panel on ebay for a few hundred bucks once. They do pop up from time to time.

I'm pretty sure this might be barn #2 or even #3. The high drama seems to keep cropping up everywhere . . .

Complaining is what a sensible adult would do. Throwing a tantrum is (one would hope) a different story. :lol: I expect an adult horse to be an adult. I give babies the education they need to...

Always a possibility, I guess. I took the hay rack out of the stall at my barn where my one horse lives after he developed a neck injury. I make sure if we use a hay net (such as at shows) that...

My new one squeaked incredibly loudly when I first got it. A few applications of oil and a few break-in rides and it no longer does.

The most basic answer is friction, I guess--when 2 surfaces...

I like the Eskadron hind boots--simple, very durable, no-fuss straps. And not more than you need. I'd just want to protect the area where most bangs take place, not the entire cannon and fetlock.

Grain and shavings can just be lightly sprayed with a hose.

Hay can be more challenging--putting it in a haynet and dunking it to soak for several minutes is one way (large muck tub will work for...

Poultice produces heat as it dries. An exothermic process. :) Similar to having a cast put on--those heat up a LOT more as the material is much thicker but it's the same principle. If you put the...

I thank the deity of your choice daily that my mostly-white pinto at least has a black TAIL! :lol: Oxy-clean is really irritating to their skin--he can't tolerate it.

Unless you're a BNT with a string of horses. Then your incomplete entry will bump that of a smurf at big shows, even if said smurf's entry was complete and perfect on the opening date.

Yup, still...

I would not, personally, unless you have the space and time for a horse that might or might not be able to work and be ridden for years to come. Too many different ways that a horse can break your...

Fly management is about so much more than predators, or sprays, or one single intervention. It's about manure pickup and pile management, elimination of tall grasses, traps, baits, the proximity of...

Nobody can force you to pay, that's silly. Unless they sue you or something. :lol: Generally the instructions for scratching are included in the omnibus for each show--some prefer email, others...

I can't comment on Sore No More as I've never used it but I do believe it contains arnica? One would have to run the ingredients through the relevant Drugs & Medications office. I have no idea,...

I have big tie rings in all of my stalls. They are not a liability, but an asset. :)

My horses generally live out, too, and stand in stalls at shows, which they're not used to. I want to do what's right by them, of course, but this (to me--I realize it is not a universally-held...
