No, it was a bay.

The first grey had a few scary moments, though.

I was there and saw it as well. We all gasped and I heard Robert and Ian say "There goes the log" before it even registered that the log had broken. The rider recovered well but we thought he looked...

I found this a great way to get some telephone poles for home-made XC type jumps - I caught up with the telephone co truck working out near our road one day and mentioned that i wanted some 10'...

Gosh, you scared me with the yellow "caution" sign. I was afraid something had happened to her!

Really nice kid, nice horses. I love her young horse "Project Runway". She works hard and is well...

My last horse was like this. It was almost a stress anhidrosis. Also, he sweated just fine in the humid dressage arena near the beach, but at home in the dry not so much. The beer worked - used...

If hubby is at Camp Pendelton, you could live in Fallbrook, he could use the backside gate and you could do Temecula easily. I second the recommendation for Erin! But, if you can't board with her she...

Keeping it under $600 per horse pretty much nixes everything in Rancho Santa Fe, Olivenhain & Del Mar. I'm not sure what the board is out at the two places on Old El Camino Real in Del Mar (names...

What sort of barn are you looking for? How much do you want to spend?

For eventing you can go out to Copper Meadows in Ramona and train with Jennifer Wooten. They have a barn and pipe pens....

I had this issue with them as well. I just enclosed a copy of the email receipt in my entry with an explanatory note and discussed it with the show secretary when I got to the show and everything was...

You're so right. Oddly enough I have an update on my boy. On Sunday, after a disastrous XC school on Sat, my trainer and I decided we would put my boy on the market. On Monday, someone called to ask...

Not yet, but we have been invited to go out with the hunt in March. I'm hoping that helps as well! I really like him in all other aspects...

I'm at the same point. Bought my guy as a weanling. Even as a foal he showed that he loved to jump and would jump out of anything we put him in. He's very very smart and full of personality. Fast...

I know this sounds weird, but I've been doing it to both cowhide and deerskin full seats for years and it works great.

Murphy's oil soap. Really. :yes:A capful in the washer w/ warm water. Put...

I want flying lead changes for Christmas...They would make next year's show season much easier.

Just a little whine...working on saddles today. 38 degrees outside with pouring rain. 46 degrees in my truck directly in front of the heater at full tilt. Very cold hands & very cold leather don't...

You can do it. I did it with twins. I used Peg Perego car seats for rear-facing and the Marathon car seats for front facing. In our truck we put one behind the passenger seat with the seat scooted...

If you do that, just make sure you don't curve the flaps in too much past the shape of the tree. Otherwise the saddle gets folds in the front of the panel where the flaps turn inward. If you keep the...

As a fitter I recommend usually once per year for the average amateur rider whose horse's back maintains its shape and condition. Professionals are 2-3 times per year.

HOWEVER - if the client has...

Sounds like it could be a rivet. Not a hard fix for a saddler. Certain brands will fix it for free as it is ususally a warranty issue. We do at Custom.

Do watch it, though - a popped rivet can...

We've got about 8 people going from the ** on down to Nov. Trainer is riding my kid since he lovingly kicked me in the thigh 4 weeks ago and it still hurts too much to ride. We're fortunate as it's...

Good attitude Hey101. Your girl has plenty of talent and can wait. I've done it with twins, and I know you can, too.

And your belly is so NOT big! You just look cute. Big comes later...:lol:

My 5:
1. The sweaty breeches thing. And changing in the back of the trailer. especially with buggy weather.
2. SOs who don't get that when we say we ride at X time, we really mean X time and not 20...

Mine too. She started my young horse and had brought him along nicely and correctly and has helped me learn to teach him.
She's got a talent for bringing the horses up the levels. Unfortunately for...

That's the beauty of Custom's custom fitted saddles - the tree can be adjusted as your horse changes. You're not stuck with sized tree. The tree is fitted to your horse & can be refitted as needed.

Wow!:eek: I started this as a look at funny ha-ha or funny weird barn rules and I certainly didn't expect it to explode into a discussion of treat feeding. So, I thought I'd throw out another...
