Try finding a nice pair of white show britches that are NOT full seats.....very limited choices.

I hate full seats.

Maybe if the manufacturers see this thread, they would actually make...

Kroop Boots, Laurel MD....custom made boots of excellent quality for the price of off-the shelf

Although called a waterford, the bit on that link:

is different than the bit on this web site:...

As I said earlier, the OP posted a great summary of boorish behavior.

Though situated at a horsey setting, it has nothing to do with horses. Boor-dom seems to know no bounds.

A friend's...

It was hilarious.....witty....sarcastic...dry......

I did not take it as a rant. I read it as a parody and caustic bit of prose on the current state of society. It was written about barns and...

I only buy horses for myself, not for clients. My personal philosophy is that any horse is a heartbeat away from being dogfood. A PPE of the seller, to me, goes further than a PPE of the horse. ...

Why?

"What do you mean by False frame?" I thought the objective of dressage was to present the horse as if he were doing the movements of its own accord.

Never done a PPE.....including a for a horse that cost me more than my F250.

Better to vet the seller than to vet the horse. The PPE is an evaluation of a horse during one day in its life. The...

Waterford mouthpieces (regardless of whether they are loose ring, full cheek, D, or egg-butt) are NOT legal for competition in the US.

That's been my philosophy.....also, CH's statement that if they won't go when asked, they're behind the leg and if they won't whoa or reduce speed when asked, they're not on the bit.

These things...

Actually, the low/deep piece is a very small part of what I took away. My main take-away was that he starts with the basic abilities of the horse, what the horse naturally likes to do and builds...

Can you 'splain why it was not accepted???.....what was controversial???..what were the objections????

His style is lovely....very similar to how I was trained 40 years ago... why was it...

The belief that some people have that the waterford is a harsh bit seems to be like one of those old wives tales that keeps getting perpetuated, told and retold, by people who have never actually...

You say you've seen just a few. Perhaps you have only seen crappy trainers. The iberian disciplines are not very common in the US and there are very few knowledgeable trainers in the US. No reason...

For those of us who live east of the Mississipi River, the Ft. Worth Nationals might as well be on the moon. IALHA just doesn't get it. The Nationals need to move around the...

If you think there is interest, I know the lady that is doing the garrocha exhibition for the WEG, Janet Tenney. She studied with Jesus Morales. She has both Lusitanos and Andalusians. I have seen...

I am in Chester Cty. When I have held clinics or offered to help people with their horse, no one is interest. Only a few knowledgeable people came to the clinics. Everyone is wowed by the big Dutch...

The issue is not buying a "trained" bullfighting horse.....the issues is training any horse to move like a bullfighting horse.

Having ridden a rather large Hanoverian and now a bullfighting...

The short answer is yes. Why do you ask?

Full pass is a great exercise to get the horse on the aids.

I have a bullfighting horse. Lusitano from top breeder and former top rejoneador. We discussed training approaches. His comment on the "LDR" was that if you trained a horse that way, it would never...

The question about a Performance Std lurking in the wings is that there was an "extraordinary rule change" process recently used to make changes to shows. This extraordinary rule change process does...

Dodge/Chrysler & GM/Chevy are in bankruptcy & government owned.

For me, the relevance isn't so much in the jumping. It is the fact that she was so successful at so many disciplines. And ever the feminist, that she broke gender barriers in horse racing.

For...

The relevance is she was the first to challenge "the system" to allow women to get licensed to ride as flat jockeys and steeplechase jockeys.....and won that fight because she was so good that people...

Better quality for less money...call them....
