My 25 yo arabian won't touch it, either. He hates alfalfa cubes, too.

I just had his teeth done and his osteopath dr is coming to adjust his jaw and check for head and neck injuries. He has...

The passier ps baum was also rock hard in the seat and slippery like glass. There were no choices in trees nor knowledge in saddle fitting. I was riding upper level eventing and even with the...

She is doing so well, D.A.!

It takes time to build the new neuro-pathways. She may need the equivalent of PT to help her. One of my friends did lots of dressage ground work to bring back her...

Why not? They go with her outfits!!!

My mare is into pink, too. She has the hot pink hay bag for the trailer, the hot pink muck basket and no one has tried to pretend that they were theirs by...

You can also expect adhesions from all the spots that got damaged during the fall and after. I found that the front of the pelvis had lots of layers of adhesions. Even though I landed on a seat bone,...

I just reread your post. This is going to be easy. You have time before the dinner; it isn't on the same day!

I have done the whole 5 1/2 hr hunt, came back and went to the hunt ball and then the...

Tally ho!

Of course you go to both and the dinner! It is good practice for Va Hunt Week. You are fit enough, and if you have made horses, it will be easy. No hills. :lol:.
Just hit the...

what phones does this work on? I have a motorola heavy duty outdoor phone. But I just have been using it for phone calls. Great reception even in the ravines.

Leslie,

My apologies! I was tired when I wrote last night.

You are in Ky not Va, right? and you have an RID filly? I have an RID gelding that I bought to be a hunt horse. Lovely temperment....

Where are you going on your foxhunting safari? Are there more of you caravaning together?

Geek,
You may be on to a major break in the story. Hay racks are notorious as the brains behind the scenes!

They pretend to just sit there until they lure the victim into range....They will...

I have the on tyte stirrups, and love them. I ride the Va hunt trails and gallop and jump small obstacles. I haven't returned to foxhunting yet, but these stirrups will save you on a down hill drop...

How is Trevor today?

You can tell him that such adversity makes him a stronger and braver horse when he grows up. At least that is what my mother told me when she packed me off to school.... I...

Jingles for Trever... Mrs. P must have to give him spoon full of tonic.
Maybe he touched a piece of wood or the rubber feed bowl and got a bruise. Here's hoping that he is going for the sympathy...

Wait a minute- I'm confused!
You are recovering from a back injury and you are starting out rowing?? What has your P.T. suggested? Does your P.T. ride or work with riders?

Most of the rider...

He is lovely! Are you going to keep him as your hunter and example of terrific breeding and training for a horse for all seasons? The ones like your mare are rare jewels.

sending pm, too!

the hardware store in Marshall across from the marshall small animal vet clinic does clippers. They do all the vet clippers work, which is how I found them. Tri-county feed may also do them. I...

I hope you go Wenesday. In Va, we are suppose to have a heat wave, on Wenesday, and get above freezing. Here that means that the top thin layer of soil/mud/ice thaws, while the ground is frozen...

Thank you, Diane!
I am so glad you have taken the forum under your wing.

Another rein question:
Do having bump markers or some way of lengthening and shortening the loop help as a technique? I...

Yes, there are pony size dressage saddles. I have been working on that short backed issue, too.

My Trak mare is very short backed. I have only about 12"-13" of space from behind the shoulder to...

Where are you going to be in Md and Va? Want to welcome you with Va hospitality. :) It is almost freezing here and sunny. Rumor has it that we might see a heat wave of 40 later in the week. Break out...

Punkie,
Please tell us about the new stirrups when you can. I am glad that you are working on inventing some thing that will be even better.

I also want a dressage saddle that gives me the option to move. I added to the wish list that I want to be able to go out on trails and hills first, then school dressage, then hit the hills again in...

I have been asked for more info on the techniques we use to teach the beasties to help us.

Now that it is icy and many of us aren't riding as a result, we have some bored horses looking for...

Punkie,
Lots of jingles for your recovery! Aren't drugs wonderful?!

If your horse is going to play in the dressage arena, you may enjoy shopping for a browband for him. There are many threads on...
