in the spring. I will use a sheet for some of the winter---use the 220 if it's down in the single digits. Other than that, he's naked.

I think it wears a blanket out to wash too much, and it...

i have a problem with that--I used to walk into stores (mainly Costco and Safeway) after I rode. I see people in the library all the time wearing riding clothes. Unless you're tracking horse shit all...

We went to Edinburgh and Stirling when there. No horse things, as I had my mother with me (we had come from the Blenheim Horse Trials however, near Oxford in England).

Whatever you do, we...

this has been the norm for this board forever. I can't stand it when people ask questions and then berate people who have a different opinion than what they were fishing for.

Oh, and yes, I did...

i disagree--having been a PCer for years, and a graduate B, I think that even at D, we had results. Sure, it's about sportsmanship, but it's about learning too. And knowing where you fit in stuff and...

i'd never depend on someone's money again, because when things go south, YOU end up holding the bag. Speaking from experience. *I* stayed home with the kids....not such a great plan now.

I'd say...

i don't understand the smoking thing. Especially when you are battling cancer. Rather stupid in my opinion. It's too bad, he has a lot to live for, you'd think as an athlete he'd care about his body...

do not borrow against your 401K.

Having just watched Oprah today with Suzie Ormond, this thread just exemplifies the borrowing frenzy that she discussed today. The account lady who is $79 k in...

that was a nice story---and you know, many young people here probably take the whole cell phone era to be the norm.

Those of us oldies know that communication was far more difficult before the...

I can't help it. It's "tries." Change the y to i and add es. Learned that in second grade, guess they don't teach that anymore.

is it a bad thing to photoshop pants on your kids when they are in your horse picture?

not by anyone who has a brain. Sorry, but the fact you don't have a written contract spelling out responsibilities and contingencies for something like a career ending injury doesn't bode well for...

oh, and that's very nice of you to point out. Seriously? I would think refunding the woman's money for all her trouble might be a very good plan instead of patting yourself on the back....coupled...

i don't pay to haul horses, but if I did, I wouldn't use this company.

My training is in Public Relations, and the fact that Double T came on a public BB and criticized a paying customer is beyond...

"Cactus Kate" died back when I frequented this board, more like about 8 years ago. We all loved her, it was a far smaller "community" then. Her brother lives in my town, and right before she died,...

my kid is home from school in Seattle...man, it sounds like mess up there, glad she got home when she did weather wise. Can't imagine Pill Hill with 5 inches of snow on it!

Central Oregon, snowing...

I love Munning's works. When my husband moved out, it was very kind of him to leave me his parent's old print of the Red Prince Mare. It hangs in my bedroom.

And as a Christmas gift to myself that...

rebe's reply was much more professional than your email to her. Even at 20, you are going to need to grow a pair and step up and be VERY clear about payment.

The reply was concise--it states the...

it's collar...not coller.

Ok, so that's your choice if you want to train your horse to pull back and get loose. My horse was trained to tie by a cowboy---tied to a tree and a tire which didn't...

disco, I saw that piece too. That horse was very calm, considering there were firetrucks and all sorts of stuff going on around. I was really impressed.

My ex was from Montecito, and I am pretty...

ok, a bit off the subject, but when did manure become a verb? It's a noun isn't it? One doesn't "manure", one passes it (sometimes in buckets).....or one poops, or whatever.

We are very lucky...

canter is really nice stuff-I went to replace my old plastic tube of Cowboy Magic and found it now is in a different container for like $25. Too much for my blood.

I don't think I'd sign on for it either---My horse has had it a few times, and it's a total bitch to get rid of. The leg looked like an elephant's and it was antibiotics, steroids, and cold hosing...

My Mom always wondered where the horse thing came from. My father never cared, but my Mom always drove me to riding lessons, and like the other poster, probably prayed I would lose interest.

Never...

kem, I would have turned mine around if I'd had the room, but alas, it was a rear tack room. My guy used to be great at backing out sanely until he had a hock infection ,and that day he got out at...
