I got a dressage saddle when I moved up to Training level. I've since had two saddles and often used the dressage saddle even on Novice horses, although like an earlier poster I much prefer riding...

I don't know if you can tell how the shoe is coming off, but in addition to above suggestions you might consider fly spraying the crap out of him. I have a TB that will literally stomp his shoes off...

Let me extend an early welcome to Morning Run! I have my two geldings there and have been very happy with the barn. We'll have to tag up about schooling shows and such!

Usually around 4 days a week, depending on class and work schedules and weather.

For my older guy, he starts out with a lot of stretching work, first at the walk for about ten minutes and then at the trot, focusing on getting his back up and swinging and him stepping under...

When you view the ad in your ad manager, you should see the option to 'delete this ad completely' under the title.

My TB that is working on putting weight back on (got him back from a lease 100+ lbs underweight :() is currently getting about 9lbs of grain, split into two feedings, plus free choice grass hay and a...

I've had my TB on Grand Hoof for several years now and his feet are much better.

I'll join the rubber band club- so much easier! But seriously, your choice- that's the beauty of eventing.

Agree with the above- if you have a good relationship with the trainer, i.e., they know you and the horse, and the horse cooperates, they should be at least started under saddle although likely not...

Yikes! Cool concept, but certainly can't afford it on my college student budget:lol: So far this evening the net is working; we'll have to see what happens long-term. There was some discussion of...

The issue isn't so much stuffing the net, which does take a grand total of fifteen extra seconds, it's been hangng the daggone thing- the string keeps getting stuck behind boards and such. I think...

Typically I don't do much for a Novice horse other than ride them consistently, but I have mostly Thoroughbreds so they stay pretty fit off regular work. My current Novice horse is doing trot sets,...

I've used the Uptite poultice for the last several years and been very happy with it; recently used it after running a fairly hilly XC course on a horse who lives on flat ground and had to showjump...

Simple (sort of) issue- my horse loves his hay, and cleans it up within two or three hours of coming in, leaving him with nothing to do for most of the day while he's in the stall; he goes out...

Jim is awesome, seriously. I took regular lessons from him for years and was an off-and-on working student throughout high school and learned so much. It is absolutely worth it and I would do it...

I typically use the trot sets as a way to encourage them to open up and really use their back, so while they're not round I am encouraging the stretch over their back and the softness in their jaw. I...

How concerned are you with how your horse travels during a trot set? How much of your dressage trot do you insist on?

I was charging $80 for a full body clip, and less for a trace, depending on how much of a trace it was (i.e. just a strip clip versus a full trace clip). Realizing also that I was clipping mainly for...

Make sure you check out the GDCTA website- there are several CT shows listed, many of them close to (or in!) Athens. There's one next weekend in Lexington, GA that is doing both dressage and combined...

When schooling, lots of transitions from free walk to medium walk and back without trotting. Also useful to halt every time you pick the reins back up for the medium walk- if you repeat it enough, it...
