It is hired out. Hired help get revised plans.....and not necessarily cheaper ones. Just more ineffiecient ones ;)

Sounds nice. What about those that make their changes without consultation or decide that your requirements are not actual requirements? ;)

You are not alone. Try building an entire horse facility from the ground up with a non horsey (but very game) husband who is prone to making "executive" decisions. I think we have a plan and then...

Wise words indeed.

Roo appears to be trying very hard to repair the reputation of ponies everywhere! Good on you for being selective and getting your child a good, safe pony.

I know you checked but can it really be a garter snake? Did not know they could climb. While I am generally on Team Garter Snake I too would find it hard to just do nothing. What about putting moth...

The responses are so interesting to me since one frequently hears that horses with Furioso II blood close up in the pedigree are hot, yet my impression is the total opposite. I know bottom line...

I don't disagree with anything you have said Kelly, I breed a bit and I understand how important it is to track offspring, both for the individual breeder and for breeding in general. Traceability is...

Makes sense to me. It is a subjective sport and it is their business. It only makes good business sense to give your horse every possible advantage. You can't fault them for that.

Agreed. It does work well to seperate it out, much faster to check daily for a good deal on used tack or some such. Although my local one for some reason gets a lot of ads for tropical fish. I think...

Bumping up an old thread to see if anyone wants to offer any updates on their horses. I saw reference to Freedom Z in another thread and my interest has been piqued. He would definitely be a senior...

I used to have a girl come and hack out one of my horses and she had a problem with the local school bus that gave her virtually no clearance, this on a road with steep ditches and she had nowhere to...

Great question, OP, I am contemplating the same thing. I was wondering about emergency services. What if the fire dept or police need to get in quickly and I am not home?

Also, the barn and arena...

Seems there are always naming trends. Hunter names used to be elegant, two or three name words, like "Pen of Ice" or "Lion in Winter" (dating myself here). Now it is the one word trend. Trends come...

Thanks for the info. Well, good on Carl and Ms Luard for keeping the horse in the UK.

As a general rule, I don't feed (or eat for that matter) products made in China, so I avoid some of the dog treats at Costco. I used to feed my dogs the dried duck jerky treats until I noticed they...

If I may riff on a theme? Former eventer turned DQ here. My WB has an appropriately European sounding name. If I evented him though, his eventing name would be: Dismal :cool:

Coincidentally, I was just thinking about Valegro yesterday and wondering if he had been sold. Do you know if Roly Luard a new part owner or did he own part of the horse already at the Olympics?

I am in Canada and they do ship to Canada but it adds considerably to the cost and there is no guarantee it won't be stopped at the border so gov't can also charge tax and duty. :cool:

I am...

I have only seen it done regularly in polo. Occasionally see it at the beginning of a jumper round to help build impulsion. Only had to do it myself once when our assigned schooling time at an...

Winter: Muck boots
Summer: Blundstones (with orthotic inside to provide extra support)

I have also worn duck shoes for quick dash in and out but if I have to go into a stall they collect too many...

A winning lottery ticket? ;)

Nothing to add other than congratulations on building your dream barn :)

Well now that is interesting. Where do you buy it? If it helps with mosquitoes as well that would be a big bonus. The tick population has gone down somewhat (for some reason we get a big wave of...

A fully stocked wine cellar in my basement.

And I would open a decent bakery in my little town that made European style crusty bread and pastries. And serve excellent fair trade coffee. It would...

I am a few years away from having a teenager but from what I hear from my friends, what you describe is pretty normal. When kids do go out it tends to be in groups as well, not so much one on one...

Actually, Foxtrot is doing the right thing. Those bullfrogs are an introduced species that like to eat smaller, native endangered British Columbia frogs. By getting...
