I'd look up the relevant laws in your state before doing anything.

You can set a nasty precedent by paying the money you don't owe, but he says you do. In some jurisdictions, if you pay up,...

I'll throw in another vote for the TuffRider pads. Mine fit fine under both my 18" dressage saddle and my jumping saddle. They're a bit big on my Arab, but at $15 I don't care. I also really like...

One barn I was at had this fantastic rubber chip footing. It was great. I was at another with bluestone. And another with sand. I liked all of them.

My TB mare can wear them, my Arab cannot. They rub his hair out. She doesn't seem to notice them and they don't mark up her coat. He doesn't seem to notice or care though.

'Composite wide track stirrups' are around $40. I'm not sure who ships up north, but if you google that phrase the ones I have come up. The foot bed tilts slightly and they are super comfortable. I...

I'll second the black standard poodle vote. Mine is quite the alarm barker. No one comes on the property without her (and the two miniature poodles) LOUDLY announcing it. She's great with kids. Lazy...

I'm a groomer and I'm going to put in a quick word here: I have a lot of responsible clients who have brought me dogs with fleas in the past two summers. Every last one of them said they were using...

Stubben is great quality, reasonably priced and I love the way they ride. Most of the models are a pretty minimalist design. If they have blocks, they're not typically huge ones. I have several...

Realistically few people are going to try to break into a house they know has ANY dog. Dogs attract attention, even small ones. Do my poodles look scary? Not really. The standard is in a German cut,...

I'll put in another electric collar vote. The village isn't going to give you the time to work with him.

I'd give it a shot. I just use a plain sidepull (it basically a glorified halter) on my Arab, but I've found most horses enjoy a bitless option.

My Arab refuses to do anything productive in one. He just flings his head and braces against the bridle. Normally he's very soft and happy to work on the bit. It made my normally noodle pony feel...

Why WOULDN'T I want my dog to attack someone who broke into my house intent on doing me harm!? I have zero worry about her biting someone under normal, everyday circumstances. She wouldn't....

Really? Yeah mine would eat someone in a heartbeat. And she was my boyfriends dog long before I came into the picture. She's awesome, but yeah. She's protective. She always sits between me and the...

I used to shop for my border collie at the supermarket. He ate a true raw diet. I'd get a whole chicken and he'd eat the whole thing, bones and all (raw bone is good, cooked is bad). I'd stuff it...

I love all of my Stubbens! I've got everything from an old Aramis, an OLD Wotan, and a Roxane. I did sell my Siegfried II to a friend because it fit her horse better than mine. I loved it too though....

Furthermore, my mare is barely deterred by any of those grid jumping exercises designed to slow something down. As a polo pony she was taught to use herself to the extreme....so she can, with...

I used to wear those flexible frames. I found those worked best because they hurt the least when I inevitably got bonked in the face by something. They stayed put for polo.

I ultimately got LASIK...

I use either the basic SSGs that come in a rainbow of colors or SSG crochet ones. I abuse them all and they last several years.

I have a 20-25yo ex polo pony. She's pretty convinced walk breaks are for sissies. She's never been great at them unless she's been worked HARD. Even then, she'll walk(ish...) just long enough to...

Our standard poodle is extremely protective of the house and us. Me especially. She would eat someone alive if they aren't supposed to be here. She loves people though and is friendly if you're...

I love the Ariat ProBabys. Mine are so comfortable I actually rarely ride in them (predominantly English rider here), but I wear them all winter long instead of sneakers. I have one pair that's 5...
