Nonsense. A valid passport is a valid passport.

What do I want people to do? I want people to not see it happen in the first place!!:lol: And if they do happen to see it, I want them to immediately forget it ever happened.

I had a really bad...

My young horse can be horrible on the ground (and forget lunging) but he's fabulous under saddle. (We're working on it!!) I figure we were made for each other because I'm a more confident...

I'm a really big fan of strict rules & boundaries for horses which *always* apply. So I don't like the idea of letting her stop to eat grass while she's supposed to be working.

As far as your...

Do you mean they keep raising the price every week, or that she was sold a few months ago and now her new owners are selling her again for a higher price.

I also agree that sometimes raising the...

I see this alot in EQUUS - 10 horses or less.

Even posting threads like this, with everyone bragging about all their "bad habits", sets a bad example, imo. Besides, the *primary* reason for good habits is safety of horse & human and good...

I don't know how many miles -- we are lucky this spring, to be riding outside since March (last spring it was May before we were outside) so I'm starting to add in hacking after schooling, which is a...

This is a tough one for me; when my horse was stalled at night I could limit his hay. Now he is out 24/7 with a round bale and he's getting FAT again.

My problem? How much *more* can you work a...

I hate these kinds of threads. Honestly, I think it sets a bad example for the younger crowd and makes sloppy/poor horsemanship seem "ok" or "the norm" for others. Good habits will keep you and...

Well I did say to contact the former owners first to see if they wanted her back. Something like this, I figure if needed, down the road I could plead to a judge that I needed to break the contract...

Just sign it anyways to make them happy. If it comes down to it in the future, call them and ask them to take her back. If they won't, sell her (as far away as possible). If they ask, say you...

She should buy the horse outright from you. Let her take out a loan at the bank to pay you, and then it will be a done deal for you!

I would agree with going into the stall with a crop. He should stand quietly in the stall while you halter him. If he pushes towards the door, back him up (keep the door closed behind you for now)....

I had it for months and months before I went to a podiatrist. (I had been trying to ice it, wrap it, etc myself).

She gave me prescription ibuprofen, and instructions to ice it at least twice...

Thanks everyone!

I actually just made sweet potato & bean burritos this week for the first time and they were GREAT!

The priority is healthy food, rather than cutting calories. We are also...

We are trying to cut out meat for 3-4 dinners per week. Please share your best vegetarian recipes!

OP, I don't think you're being reasonable about changing the boarding contract. The only possible change that I can think of to help you in this situation, is to maybe add a line that "BO agrees to...

If you bought the horse while you were married, the horse may be considered the property of both of you.

Offer to buy the horse back?

I think it's an acceptable solution for a truly rank, agressive horse. One that is trying to kill people. I don't think there are a lot of horses like this.

I find that recently, people seem to...

8am and 4pm, night hay between 8:30pm-11pm.

I believe horses with limited hay and horses who need to be turned out should be fed at regular times.

Horses with unlimited hay and lots of...

I've purchased all my saddles in Canada for this reason.

My only other suggestion would be to find the same saddle here and try it, then buy the saddle from the US, and if it doesn't work,...

I would give her the benefit of the doubt as far as training and stay out of any gossip about the trainer.

I am *sure* there have been times when others may have thought I was being too harsh...

I probably would not lend it out to a stranger. Other than that, I am willing to lend out my saddle for someone who is shopping for a saddle and is interested in the fit/feel of a saddle I have.

mvp, that's exactly how I do my own stall (except that my gelding is the neatest horse you will ever meet; he poops ONLY in one spot and pees ONLY in one spot and never steps on it or spreads it...
