Totally agree - love these gloves! They even have small fabric sections on them you can use to wipe sweat from your brow.

Another big thank you to Chocomare and Freebird for organizing this!

This was the policy of the person I bought my horse from, and it seemed perfectly resonable to me. If a seller wanted a deposit that was non-refundable even if the horse did not pass the PPE, I...

Rest In Peace Henry.

HHR - you know in your heart you did what was best for him. I know you will see him again one day, because I can't believe the wonderful horses that went before us aren't...

I bought my Dubarry boots a couple of days before going to WEG. Wore them all day for 4 days, and even though they were brand new, they were comfortable the whole time. Do you think yours may be a...

How on God's green earth is a trainer letting her wear spurs on that poor horse!!!!!

HA -- when I heard that come out of Phaedra's mouth, I almost peed in my pants! I'm sure she is quite the accomplished rider -- "english style."

I bought the Ariat Brossard Tall Boots last winter -- one of the best things I have ever invested in! It was a brutal winter by Georgia standards (riding outdoors in the mid-to-low 30s quite a bit),...

I am adult re-rider too -- rode a lot when I was young, gave it up after my first year of college, and started again 2 years ago at 37 years old. In my experience, you will not really improve if you...

I recently purchased the Eskadron XC boots, but I have not put them on my horse yet. They seem pretty heavy. I may order the N.E.W. Aeroflows and take a look at them before I decide to keep the...

I have an All Purpose Stubben VSD DL -- I love it!!

I bought it when I first started riding again (after a ~20 year break) because the deep seat was so comfortable and it made me feel secure. I...

I used to have this problem every now and then, but since I lowered my stirrups during flat work, it doesn't seem to be happening.

Congratulations! I am an adult re-rider too, and 2'6 - 2'9 is my goal. Sometimes I worry that at 39 yrs. old I am not being realistic, and your story shows me that I can get there!

I love my Thinline reins -- comfortable to hold, and no slipping when wet!

Good to know! I have been wondering why the videos I ordered in early October have not arrived yet. I won't start to worry until mid-November.

Thanks everyone, for sharing your experiences. Certainly a lot to consider with such a big purchase. My first priority is getting the best possible fit for my horse, so I'll have these reps out,...

In my gut, I know you are right. I spoke with one of their reps at the WEG, and he was so helpful, and I just love the Biarritz. But after reading what I did last night, I don't think I can take...

I will be buying a custom saddle in the next month (looking at Devoucoux, County and Antares), so I was nosing around this board for old threads on the three companies. I found the January, 2009...

englishivy: Unfortunately, the Atlanta Saddlery outpost at Chastain has closed. :( I miss it!

Eventers Courageous Comet, First Lady, and Gin and Juice. And from dressage -- definitely Fuego!

Thanks to all of you for the suggestions and input - I really appreciate it.

And thanks for sparing me -- I just love looking like an arse on the BB! Very humbling!

Most of the scrapes are around the fetlock or a little higher -- but below the cannon. He does not seem to get them when he is turned out in the very flat, completely cleared, smaller paddocks. But...

Yep -- I feel pretty stupid for having the polo idea even pop into my head! :no: Of course that would be dangerous. Duh.

I was thinking the N.E.W. Airoflow boots may be a good option:

My 7 year old gelding seems incapable of not knicking his legs up when he is turned out. Thankfully none of his cuts have been too bad to date, but I worry about him.

Does anyone turn their...
