Talker. Mostly "good boy", but I will use the Mary King bear growl as needed.

A crappy feeling for sure. Hope all goes well.

Wow! Super nice. That's my goal (someday) but I don't think I'll look quite that good! Background is not in H/J by any chance, is it?

"I'll just park in front of this trailer and block them so they can't go home" kind of special?

Agreed. Should not be that hard, really. In fact, it seems to me that the chaos at bigger shows is worse. All of the things that make you go "Grrrrrrr" when you're hungry, tired, nervous and...

Fingers crossed for you, it's always something with horses so it seems.

I've been very happy with my PadPerfect pads as well. I love the sewn in girth loops, and the contouring for the wither relief.

:winkgrin: I know I sure do! Seriously, that's a lot of metal in that horse's mouth, gotta be very careful around any form of electricity.

Cracks me up. Every clinic I go to someone always asks about changing their XC bit. Followed on cue by an eye-rolling, mini-lecture on "it's NOT the bit!"
And then I see the bits on some of these...

Updates? C'mon you guys!

"Back in the saddle again"! Congrats!

This from our morning paper, the Evansville Courier:



But Event horses, that's the problem? Until these publicity whores can do something about such horrific scenes as this, they can go jump...

It's the usual misguided effort from PETA. Meanwhile thousands if not millions of horses are neglected, abused, sick and starving all around the world including many in our own communities. How...

Just going thru the results from Samur, congrats to the US Team for doing such a great job! I read that Buck had been eliminated for missing a fence XC. I thought I was the only one that did that. ...

I think the Farmhouse is only open for supper. The cafeteria might be an option, but it's a hike and we usually don't have much time to sit down with both of us competing. What we need is good...

Fixed it for you! When I first saw it, it was so bad I started laughing! If you can't do that in this sport then those screw-ups, missed fences and boo-boos are much harder to live with.

There was an Aussie who rode after me who watched the round, "Ya know mate I felt bad for ya". In that lovely accent they have. It's quite motivating when you embarrass yourself in front of all...

Having survived the chaos at Maydaze HT over the weekend I was heartened to see that I was not the only one who thinks the Kentucky Horse Park is getting less competitor friendly every year. It's a...

Great job! Congrats to all of you. Sorry we missed you but that place was an absolute zoo! Dressage was good, 35.9, XC was excellent even though we had 10 seconds of time, but after 3 rails in...

A picture is worth a thousand words. I don't Facebook, but the photos and videos posted there as well as other forums are great. I know Denny posts interesting old and new photos all the time on...

I wonder why they can't limit the number of riders in a small warmup to say, 5 at a time, particularly in the stadium warmup. Dressage could obviously be more depending on how large the sandbox is....

How about upgrading he COTH Forums to allow avatars, posting of photos, videos and articles, respecting all copyrights of course. I hate to compare this to other non-horsey forums I visit, but COTH...

I have to say the stadium warmup at Maydaze gets my vote. Kamikaze city.

Snake lover here as well. I do remember being told that as a general rule, snakes that are predominantly water dwelling tend to be a little on the aggressive side and the venomous cottonmouths are...

Those teams would be...? A 7th team placing in Hong Kong, a 4th team placing most recently at the WEG on home turf. I don't recall a 4* victory since PD in 2008, at Rolex. Very mediocre at the big...
