I lost out on a 3 year old, he was out of a sport Appy mare (Appy/TB) that had gone prelim herself. He was lovely, sweet, easy as a 3 year old. I was second in line and the first person wrote a...

Holy crap! Be still my beating heart. Would love to see her move too. She is adorable :)

I agree with JB. But I also think that you should do what makes you feel comfortable. It's your horse, and I assume you plan to keep the horse for you? There is absolutely no reason you shouldn't...

I have experience both sudden onset and gradual onset and in 95% of the cases there were many signs that something wasn't quite right months or even years prior.

In many cases people just don't...

Maybe you could post what line this is?

Sorry to the OP. I have been through this, I even thought there was something "funny" about the horse I bought! But the trainer I was working with told me...

I am just east of San Francisco. Our board has gone up $100/month over the past 2 years (it's now between $550-$640 for just the stall and feeding/cleaning depending on the barn). Where there were...

Nope. It's because I did such a good job choosing a husband that I can freely prefer my horse.

This is news??

What about a TB?

Ditto, love it.

I also like the Jane Savoie books, especially the cross training books, and "it's not just about the ribbons".

Hundreds of thousands of people are waiting until spring to list. I know of some. Everyone who owns a house thinks things are going to "turn around" in 2009. They are not. There's a glut of homes...

Just WAIT. Seriously, we are nowhere near a bottom, there's a lot of pain to come. 50% of people trying to sell right now are competely delusional.

Look at what places arelisted at right now. In...

He does look and sound lovely

I am in Northern California. Kendra at County is very very nice and travels. She fitted my mare and I ended up buying both a used Stabilizer and a used County dressage saddle.

The Stabilizer and...

Yeah, a bit overkill I suppose?

If/when I breed her she is going to Dacaprio. I think she has enough G-line in there.

Well, for what it's worth, my mare by Graf Top II is turning into a lovely dressage horse. I took a clinic with one of the top international level judges in North America and she said she felt she...

Everything depends on the horse. My mare did terribly being ridden part time by a trainer, we've come leaps and bounds since I stopped allowing anyone else on her back. She would get upset by...

Every single person I know that has imported a schoolmaster type from Europe has brought them to the US only to find many many soundness issues, and experienced nothing but heartache.

It's worse...

My Vespucci bridle is very nice. I use it without the flash, and you could certainly have the flash attachment removed completely.

I am so sorry Lisa, it's truly all horse owners worst nightmare come true. Though I never met Linus, I have always loved and admired his big, handsome appy self from afar. My thoughts are with you.

I always think these threads are great. My husband and I want property, but really more for down the road as a place to retire. As much as I would love my horse at home, I feel my horse get's much...

I am ALL ABOUT this Euro stock tie with bling ;)

OK, I have another brand to add to the Cavallo Champions, Kentucky Mexico City!

Just got a pair in the mail (thanks ebay!) and they are GORGEOUS and fit this really curvy girl great!

And what if they aren't doing any of the above? What if they are the BO and taking a large ring fee AND enough for a free ride, and the clinician is fairly local and driving themselves in?

I have...

I am struggling with this right now. What do you do if the facility owner and organizer is tacking on up to $50 per ride?

I feel a really good trainer that has trained and shown horses at all...
