RiverDance, emailed you back!

Thanks for the good wishes, alliekat! He sounds like he might have been a good fit for your mom!

Adam is still available--here is a link to his ad on equine.com with some pictures. http://www.equine.com/horses-for-sale/horse-ad-1054541.html

Adam has a loving disposition, and is a beautiful mover. He has successfully rehabbed from a suspensory injury for which he received a PRP injection, and has come back completely sound. He has a huge...

You guys look great! Have fun!

Has he been tested for vitamin E deficiency? That can often mimic the symptoms of wobblers syndrome, and affects the ability to build muscle. Horses can seem like they're tying up. Vitamin E is a...

Looks to me like you do a lot of balancing on your hands rather than your seat. I'd also like to see you much stronger through the lower back in order to keep your horse under you more effectively.

My heart horse puts his head into my chest, and he will stay there for as long as I will let him. I put my chin on his poll, and he rests against me, his forehead right near my heart. We have been...

I fell off the couch laughing at the end of this! So glad I'm not the only one who wants a man like that!

Wow--I'm thrilled I'm not the only one! Love the idea of a clique, whether battery operated or not.

Most men I meet are not worth the effort. Being around horses all day, riding, training and...

Wow! I've never seen that--thanks for posting!

I agree with the above post. Why not let her do what she likes to do? There's no need to push a student who doesn't want to be pushed in the end. If she's happy, let her be happy.

Also, there...

Donated for another question about my baby horse. Looking forward to hearing from him and Swami!

Thank you, Swami Rabbit! Adam got a new bridle, which has a crank noseband. He wore it for the first time today, and did seem very fussy at first, so I will look into it!

If you happen to have a...

Awww, when I saw you with your arms waving, I just wanted to kiss you! How lovely that you are working so hard, and thank you for sharing your videos!

Your horse is a good egg, no matter what...

My goodness--life is too short to be stressed out by your barn environment! I left a show barn where this kind of thing was always going on, and while I have two "fancy" boys, we all couldn't be...

I'd like to see you using your lower back more effectively. It seems to me that if the jumps do get bigger, you might have some maintaining as much control as you could if your back were stronger. ...

Yes! Switched both my boys to KK ultra loose rings, and saw an immediate difference, very drastic with one who did not like reaching for the bit at all previously. Found both bits used, and ended...

Thank you very much for all the responses! I will contact the breeder to see what her asking price had been. Trainer told me that I was paying the price that Breeder was asking, just as she told...

Oh dear word, there are people without jobs and homes and families and no food--let alone horses and trainers and awards banquets--on cold nights like this. We could all benefit from being smacked...

Recently, I ran into someone who used to train with the same trainer I did. We had boarded at the trainer's barn, and I sold this woman my first horse, and they're both very happy together. I left...

Recently, I was invited to attend an awards banquet for a couple of my riders. Unfortunately, my father was in NYC, having surgery to remove his cancerous prostate. I chose to take my only day off...

I did a PPE on a mare I was considering at one point a few years ago. Lots of warning bells rang loud and clear when he looked at her, but the vet didn't say anything to the owners of the horse. I...

Good luck with your mare! You might also want to get a saddle fitter out when you can, but it definitely sounds like you are on the right track!

I've done three suspensory rehabs, and each time, the key was as simc24 described, consistent movement. I also had to work my horse in the winter, and he was still on stall rest, so I know what...

I have almost the exact same situation--an 9 year old horse who has stolen my heart, against my better judgment, and a younger, 3 1/2 year old 16.3 warmblood gelding. I changed careers, and now...
