Wow - y'all are getting really busy... while we are slowing down a bit down in FL. This winter, my job situation was really unstable (and kinda scary) so we did very little, which was a bit of a...

Some vets can't take hints from their own patients...

I am happy he is safe and sound with you.

Had a blustery ride yesterday on Cuervo and he was a complete angel. He only had one "Attention...

Hope you all had a lovely 1st day of 2011. Today it was finally more like normal temperatures should be in FL, but it was *very* windy (a new front is coming). Cuervo & I had a very spirited ride...

Up-at-5,

I am in Tampa, FL... and I try to make it up to upstate NY in once a year (usually summer), sometimes twice (usually Halloween-for a very special party that starts with a trail ride in...

Peeps? Did I miss a message here? How did that discussion get started and who is the PeepMeister? :cool:

Haven't tried that yet with any of my horses, ever, probably because I don't eat them...

Seeing is believing, but it's great to have yet another person have a fabulous experience acquiring horses through the FLTL. Congrats Merle! Here's wishing many happy adventures with Colin.

Egads! memory lapse. Desensitizing is great; thanks CGH for bringing it up - it made me recall one other thing that I JUST picked up this fall (from the rider of the scaredy QH that partnered Cuervo...

For all of you guys that are winter-bound (be it footing, snow, or shortened daylight, there are a few things you can teach from the ground that come in handy later...

"back-up" is a great word to...

Geez, imagine that... the inexperience barn manager having the sense to call the previous O/T so she didn't have to re-invent the wheel... that's called thinking of the horse's welfare FIRST, and her...

Guys,

My number is highly unofficial - I just went down the list of placed horses and did not count the ones that may have gone to another track or trainer (i.e. no longer available). The few...

SQUEEEEEE!!!!!for all the safe trips, new owners of all the lucky FLFs that found homes this year and everyone that pulled off a gargantuan feat at the end of the race meet despite the EHV-1 monkey...

I can't remember but I think you said that he acted like he needed turnout? If so, when you first take him out do so on a lead for first introductions across the fence. They'll paw and squeal (it's...

ROFL :lol:

So glad Jen & Fashion got snapped up - Taters must be next: she looked so kind in the video (and I am not a mare person!)

Don't take me wrong - I like a balanced, soft, supple horse that is attuned to me: it's the best way to ensure a safe XC trip! I like dressage but dislike the sport it has become and how it has...

second that!

SLW, you'll know it's time & it's the right horse because you will not be able to help yourself :winkgrin: Keep lurking - there's always a good bit of info passed around on the FLF...

Yep, that connection is all-important: without it, it's a no-go and even a great horse can be matched with the wrong person. I did want to pipe in with my thoughts in case there are any others...

You have to remember that the meaning of in the money is different depending upon whether it is a betting fan or an owner saying so... you are probably thinking 1st, 2nd or 3rd and therefore a...

A long time ago, jumping was part of the dressage training of every horse... (google the Prix Caprilli test). My dressage breakthrough came when I set it as a goal that I should be able to ride my...

SLW - you don't need to start formal training right away... (I take it you don't feel comfortable training him yourself for his new career as your best friend).

Seeing as you are in...

Hmpf... no luck with the lottery yesterday. *sigh*

Is East End Boy 15.3hh (as in the listing heading) or 15.1hh as in the description? Also, the tb pedigree info has him as a 2005 model.

show me an eventer that ***loves*** dressage and I'd be checking to make sure their hard hat is not screwed on too tight!!! :lol:...

I'll go out on a limb and make some suggestions. Since you have such specific requirements and, if I read correctly, you can go look at these horses in the flesh, then going to see them in person,...

Sounds like Jamie is worth the drive.

As for Chequer - a gem... hmmm, lots of great eventing down, er, up your way... when Delana needs a break from the hunters how about a trip outside ;) Unlike...
