    Aspen is my "home turf" if you will-- it's an amazing facility, with professionally run events and altogether one of my favorite places to be. :) But just an FYI, you can expect that nearly every...

    Thanks for the info Wanderlust and CC. I kind of suspected that there might not be anyone handy, but was hoping there was some awesome hunter/jumper trainer hiding in Oly somewhere! All the HJ...
  3. Recommendations--HJ trainers in Olympia, WA ??

    A good friend of mine is moving back into the area after many years away, and is looking for a good coach/trainer for jumpers. S/he doesn't have to be a BNT, but capable and relatively accessible...

    Kerrits!

    For comfort and grip, I love the Kerrits GripTek Gaiters. Soft and sticky and fit like a glove from the very first use. And not very spendy. I <3 them.

    Technically, the Sit Tights have what Kerrits calls GripTek seats and the Breathe Tights have GripStretch. They both provide a sticky seat if that's what you're concerned about! :) Maybe this will...

    I'm friends with a few Wenatchee-area eventers. The Appleatchee group are great people, and a few at least make pretty regular trips over the mountains to come and hang out and lesson over here on...

    I have an SLK, and I joke that it's my lazy boy saddle. :) It is by far, the most comfortable saddle I've ever sat in. It also happens to fit my horse wonderfully and puts me in a great position. ...

    my tekonsha saved my life. i'm never going back.

    I have the P2 on my current truck, and am alive today because I had one installed on a friend's truck too several years ago. Very long story short, was hauling 2 horses and my dog (my whole...
  12. quality jumps are expensive, any way you look at it!!

    It definitely is a costly undertaking. I needed new jumps and after looking at what the "big guys" are charging, thought, I certainly could do better than that! I built what I needed, and then got...

    For me, it's a no-brainer. Horses at home, work in the city. I am fortunate with my job as a firefighter to work 24 hour shifts, so I don't have to commute every day-- which allows me the...
  14. strategies for a one day horse trial?

    I know that in many areas one day HTs are the norm. We typically spread ours over three days here in area VII, so I've gotten used to having a lot of time to chill/clean tack/handwalk/walk...

    I'd like to know too, especially with them on TOTD! Do tell! :)

    I have an older upper level eventer with pronounced arthritis in the hocks. I have to haul out to ride all but a couple summer months of the year, so my guy wears his hock boots for the trailer...

    I'd second the Nature's Miracle. My mom swore by the stuff-- and she was a vet with a propensity for bringing home special needs cats so we had our share of accidents. Never a whiff of feline...

    I guess it's a good reminder for everyone to consider just how "accessible" we are online. I'm only an amateur internet stalker myself, but it's amazing how much you can learn if...

  21. Advice from the rep: "You have to LOOOOOOOVE your saddle"

    When I first got my Chiberta, I was actually a little afraid to use it! Such lovely soft calfskin, just waiting for me to destroy... I can totally understand where the OP is coming from! :) But...

    I feel it's helpful for them to have an extra cue that says, hey pony, you're about to reach the edge so don't freak when the ground's not where it should be. :) I use the word "step." So, a cue...

    Love 'em!

    FITS are by far the most comfortable, best fitting breeches I have ever owned. I love full seats, but hate the way they bunch or sag or crease (depending on the brand!). These fit perfectly. They...
  24. If you were here, you'd be more than welcome!

    I LOVE to have another set of hands, especially when I've got more than one horse to juggle! If you were in the Pac NW, you'd be more than invited along with us! Heck, if you want to come up, we'd...
