My trainer also has the same saddle I do so it's a non issue. When I need somebody else to hack him for me they use my saddle, and If I hack another persons horse I use there's unless mine happens...

Is your horse working from his hind engine when you exercise him or just going around on a longer, looser contact? Besides a good diet, topline in the neck stays when you are creating that engine...

My old jumper mare had bog spavins (appeard after she had surgery to take out a bone chip she got when a baby). Never did bother her, and we hardly had to ever do any kind of hock injections. Vet...

Have you tried doing it up in stages? I once rode an old hunter that was girthy, and if you did the girth up too fast he walked out "strange". He'd work out of it and apparantly had been like that...

I just got my helmet replaced after a good blow to the noggin! It was less than 2 yrs old, but you could see the crack on the liner from the blow (actual comment from the store "holy hell that's a...

But they don't black out other FEI events do they? Maybe it's just certain areas they black out? Sadly, my work now blocks these types of feeds (ever since the Olympics when the server kept blowing...

I gave up on sports bras as I'm short from shoulder to boob so now use those minimizer bras. I too also agree with the getting measured, found out I was in too big of a bra size wise but had to go...

Are you sure? It doesn't start until noon here and that's another hour away!

Showing 1.10's with my mare moving upto 1.15's.....now back to 2ft6 with my baby, and learning more about riding than I ever though possible :D

certified cheque or wire transfer, and this is for all horses no matter the price.

Ugg, Terry Liebel......worst.commentator.EVER!! One of her more famous and terrible pieces of often sprouted advise "all you jrs watchaing, look how so and so is flapping his arms to get his horse...

I loved Mac Cone as a commentator (I pvr'd it so saw it in person and then again when I came home :lol:). I love watching Leslie ride, always have and always will and I LOVE Lennox Lewis. He almost...

I've also seen barefoot horses slip and have falls on grass! For me personally, it's caulks all the time on grass (hunters and jumpers), and it varies for which ones I use for the conditions (small...

If you're new to a fence height then I would go down a level at Spruce. They set big and technical! There's no such thing as a "soft 1.10m" they set the full height and width and where specs allow...

Spruce Meadows prize lists (you will have to complete the form but it has all the information you need)....note not cheap, but well worth the expense.

They are so cute. Wish I could find the video that was taken a few yrs back when one of the foals came upto a few of the riders doing the course walk. My God it was too cute! :D

I too think you're being taken a little bit for a "ride". On our half leases, you do have to have your set days (otherwise you'd do a full lease) BUT if the horse is used for lessons on your half...

LOL the joys of course walking at Spruce in the Int'l ring..........I don't think they ever have a walk where there's no marching parade or allowing the spectators to join in. :D It's amazing to...

I've also ridden some horses that moved just awful but jumped a 10 each and every time. I'd rather have one that wants to go the otherside, jumps safely and nicely, is adjustable but has a rough...

And makes you hungry, so lets not forget the restaurants, grocery stores etc that would flourish with the hunger cravings that follow :lol:.......a win win for everyone!!

She's cute, too bad they don't have an over fences picture. She'd get snapped up fast here in Alberta being that price :D

Ok, dumb question, but why do they call it "lope". Is it because it just sounds slower than "canter"?

Edited to add: holy hells bells I went and You Tubed a western pleasure class and found this...

Yeah, we are definatly in jumper land in Calgary!! ;)

Sounds cheap for my area too and we don't have super dooper fancy hunters! (actually our hunters are somewhat pitiful with hardly anyone in them) Something like that (and I'd love to see a picture)...

I do mine to fetlocks..........a rather world renound facility do their to just below the hock. I don't like the look of just below the hock, but they aren't hunters! ;)
