I have *never* fed my horses in underwear, a shirt, and ugly muck clogs (no pants). No sir. Never.

My place can be seen from the [very quiet dirt] road, but I figure if neighbors are looking that...

Doesn't bother me much either. My assumption is that the real meaning is "not for sale to a home that wants to resell immediately." I also think it's an easy thing to say to convey (honestly or not)...

My TB tightrope walks behind as well. I keep him in Eskadron hinds under saddle. They're my favorites because they're so easy to put on/off and they clean up easily as well.

I dislike the idea of a horse being in boots all of the time for a whole host of reasons.

Not the least of which, as mentioned by deltawave, is the idea that he will "train" himself to be able to...

I'll join in....kind of.

I'm just a few months away from the 3-year anniversary of taking my stirrups away on one of my horses. I'm starting to like going to shows for more than the usual...

I will throw my vote in for injecting hocks with or without a "full" workup. By the time my horses get up to the upper levels in the jumper ring I start injecting hocks on a yearly or...

As a general rule, I have the same feelings as CBoylen. In terms of requesting friends, I only request connection with people I legitimately know and talk to on at least a semi-regular basis. I...

I agree with this. I see "missing dog" posters up all the time out where I am. When it's a smaller or older dog you can just about put money on the fact that the coyotes got it (or any of the other...

I'll put a plug in here for the IHSA. My former nanny and helper/rider is helping to organize a UW sponsored IHSA show in Poulsbo in a couple of weeks (Feb 12/13) at Sandamar Farm. If anyone's got...

:lol::lol::lol:

I have two kids, my boy is 6yo and my baby girl just turned 3.

With my son I rode through the entire pregnancy. I quit jumping at about 6 months, but it never got terribly difficult and my...

I agree that travel to Canada's not that hard. It took me just 2 hours, almost on the dot, from driving off of the boat in Edmonds to the T-bird driveway each day (the horses stay there when I'm...

The Thunderbird shows are some of the nicest shows out there, IMO, but if your husband is aiming for 1.10m jumpers, I'm not sure I would make the big effort to get up there. It's expensive and a lot...

I don't think there are very many associations (WSHJA and OHJA are all that come to mind and I've only ever had memberships in USEF and WSHJA), and I guess the nice thing about the schedule is that...

I think that's a brilliant $0.02, Lucassb!

Aren't the shows starting to ask for feedback via survey now anyways? I seem to remember the request from a couple of show managers over the course of...

Ha ha! When we were looking for a farm my husband kept finding properties with lots of trees.....not so good for making pastures!

We ended up buying probably the only property in Kingston with no...

Hmmm....I was hoping someone else around here would pipe in. I'm familiar with the hunter/jumper barns in the area, but not as familiar with the all-purpose barns. So bear in mind that anything I...

In theory you might be right, fordtraktor.

But in practice, I had an entire year of crappy entries that I still had to pay the same amount of money for (and time and energy and mileage on my...

Well I can answer that for you.

The phase will last for as long as he's your boyfriend and end the instant he becomes your husband :lol:

My hubby has a pair of chaps hanging in my tackroom...

I don't know if I agree that it's a bad thing.

We had too many shows here in the NW over the last couple of years. It meant that none of the shows were "full" (during the competing-show weeks)...

Well, the leadline classes around here are fairly informal, so I can't imagine that it would matter at all what you decided to dress her in. I've seen children decked out in full attire and I've...

Agreed.

I was going to make the same comment here (about needing a "serious amateur" option as an amateur who rides 2-4 horses 7 days a week), but then decided that the fact that there were...

Also done....as an amateur who plans to buy many more youngsters over the coming years I'm interested in seeing the responses!

I'm a little confused by the post above mine, but I think what you're asking is how to wrap up a leadrope like the picture you posted, right?

It's simple:

Hold the lead rope by the snap and...

I don't think I have many superstitions these days. I've been working on getting my horses up to the GP level, and after a good 1.40m year last year I'm thinking my superstitions might start...
