I do find the light weight Royal Riders much easier to pick up when lost. I also find that I almost never lose them because of the cheese grater stirrup pads. Not sure what the physics are -- I...

You can call it "discussing" on social media. Simply makes it high tech gossiping.

Certainly, some of the folks here were honest and even handed in their discussion. Others stated outright...

Do you really think that if the mare was walking lame, they would have openly exhibited to thousands of people? It would have been easy enough to say she stepped on herself ringside and couldn't...

Dr. Nolan at Piedmont Equine. Extremely effective in dealing with the horse's issue, and very good at explaining to the human what he sees, feels, and what he is doing to fix it.

If you have an issue confront the directly. In person is best.

YouTube can get you in trouble. And creating alters and doing it anonymously lacks integrity. If you don't feel comfortable...

Sounds dumb, but I've found singing to them helps. Talking too. My personal favorite was Jimmy Buffett.

How many jumps did you...

You say you have worked with several barns where this is done, if true, I have to wonder about the company you keep.

What help are you trying to get on this forum? The answer is obvious, take...

The reason Palin quit her job was because after enacting ethics reform in her state, the opposing party was burying her by alleging dozens of ethics violations, the vast majority of which were proven...

I was in this situation with my Grandmother.

Many of the suggestions here are great, contact you elder care resources, home nursing care, etc.

But my advice is just be prepared. It may take...

PatrickW -- Not sure what you are trying to stir up. I offered an observation of what happened. I did not editorialize or offer my opinion as to why the accident occurred. I did that on purpose --...

Tracy Weinberg had to pull her horse up between fences, possibly a bow or a strain.

Megan fellows horse Miss Liberty swam through a fence and fell. I believe she was euthanized.

Rare to see two events like this in the same class. They were both very different. Cromwell looked like he was injured while galloping between fences. Miss Liberty swam through the fence after a...

Tracy Weinberg's horse (I believe Cromwell) pulled up, couldn't bear weight on right front. She jumped off, they pulled his boots, and brought in the ambulance.

To each his own. Many of us can't figure out why you can't understand that:

1). A rule that has no hope of being objectively and consistently applied is destructive to the sport
2) to...

For all of you arguing that it's fair...I'm willing to bet if you were the rider missing the cut on a major competition because of a rider who had benefited from this rule, you'd be screaming.

Tamsin, You seem to misunderstand the nature of maternity leave in the US.

You are absolutely allowed to take time off. And you are entitled to a commensurate position upon your return. But...

Leave policies in Europe or not....Poor excuse. Unless the handful of women in Europe in the rankings start popping kids out like Pez, I don't think it's going to help the population decline at all....

It is an insult to women. This rule reflects the belief that we can't compete and be successful on a level playing field.

Riders of any gender make many personal and professional decisions that...

That's life! Persist with the requests and escalate to management if needed. Still not sure what this thread does to help you with the problem, but best of luck!

I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of this thread.

Are you just complaining? Venting? If you're at a barn that allows dogs and you don't like it. The solution is easy - LEAVE.

They do let you haul in each day, although they take pains to make it inconvenient by not assigning a specific parking area for haul-ins.

There was a fee in previous years. Last year with the...

I'm very sorry you were hurt, but it doesn't change my opinion. We all run the risk of falling and getting hurt, it can be a dog, car or any number of things that set a horse off on a given day.

If you don't like it, board somewhere that doesn't allow it. End of story.

I had a tremendously positive experience at Devoucoux both with my initial purchase and follow-up refitting and alterations for an aging horse whose topline was changing slightly. I have associates...
