I personally don't like any Aussie brands but the ones from the Australian Stock Saddle Company. I have three from them and have sold Down Unders for fitting issues- would not fit any horse I tried...

I would love them if they are not taken :)
Thanks!

The ride can be done as fast or as slow as you want, there is no "optimal time" to come in like with a CTR. I usually walk/trot/gait and throw in a canter in a nice area but it depends on who I am...

A small camelback would be okay to ride in I guess, but I wouldn't want to wear anything larger for comfort.

For trail riding I got Snugpax pommel and cantle pads and carry all I need in those. I...

Directions to the ride is something that needs to be addressed with the Affiliate putting on the ride. I think I good rule for yourself when getting ready for one of these rides is to make sure you...

Here are photos from the 4 rides I did:

4/17/10 Winchester, KY
5/29/10 Stanton, KY
6/13/10 Manchester, KY
8/21/10 Taylorsville, KY

I've gotten to go places I would not have been otherwise...

I've done 4 ACTHA rides this year with one of my rescue horses who has only been trained by me and we are doing OK in the Pleasure division- mostly we were up tying for 6th and then we just got a 4th...

I buy my hay at Giles in Georgetown, getting anywhere from a dozen to 50 bales at a time.

I get the mixed grass hay and both the price and the quality are pretty steady ($3.95/bale for nice...

Seen it in action this year- it sure takes the wind out of those yearling's sails LOL

Yes, THIS.

Most shelters and vets are not upgrading until they have to, they don't have the funds.

I'm pretty sure there are a lot of small towns here in KY that don't have a reader at all....

As I said, personally I think a finder should be doing these things, too, not just what is required by law. But if the owner has not alerted anyone, how can a finder help with reuniting the animal?

In both Florida and Kentucky (last I checked when I worked for shelters) you are considered the legal owner of an animal if you have cared for it for 7 days and put a Found ad in the newspaper...

Sadly it turns out that not all Bengals are valued at $1000 and probably would not really be missed if they went AWOL.

Seriously, I would not have expected it, but apparently some breeders will...

Uh oh... looks like someone's got a new kitty! :lol:

Back off, that's my kitty! :D :lol:

Surely Alagirl is coming to Lexington for WEG and can deliver ;)

Well, I want a Bengal so send her my way if no one claims her (like I need a fifth cat ;))

She looks kinda like a Bengal cat. They have some very interesting coat colors and spot patterns. Also very independent and quite the characters I understand!

Someone might be looking for this...

Tack shops in the area off the top of my head:

Wise Choice
The Tack Rack
Fennell's
Pinkstons
Central KY Tack & Leather
KBC
Bob Micklers

This local is staying far, far away!

There's no way someone local could volunteer for 6 days without dipping into vacation anyway. And some of us just don't have it to spare (or want to spare it...

I didn't get to see you guys perform, but I did go back to the barns Sunday morning and visited with them- Billy Jack can come live with me anytime ;)

Sycamore Creek is getting rave reviews over on the Pleasure Paso Fino board.

I'm saving up to get one for my hard to fit Paso Fino mare. She's got high withers, is narrow up front, has a well...

I refer to this type of brindle as a "reverse brindle."

One line of thought is that it is rabicano roaning that for some reason has formed into lines rather than be the normal scatted white...

I know a guy who comes down to KY from OH to ride his Pasos in the ACTHA competitive trail challenges around here. They are doing pretty well, I think. Next year if Sugar is ready I will point her in...

I love mine, though we kid and call her "Crack Pony" :winkgrin:

Sugar has had a long way to go since her rescue/rehab (by a COTHer and a subsequent Giveaway forum graduate to me) When I got her...

All I know is that I live here and I am staying as far away from that hot mess as I can! Cannot believe they are not offering any decent alternatives for parking or shuttles...

Closest I will get...
