Mane n' Tail vs. Other Shampoos + Conditioners?

[Eclisped]

Sounds like I might just use human stuff on my boy! I don't really bathe my horse unless it's before a show/event/clinic etc. and when it's really hot...

[Eclisped]

I've only ever used Mane n' Tail shampoo/conditioner when I've bathed my horse. Recently, my trainer said that she used the Gallop Colour Enhancer Shampoo...

I have a very good Kent & Masters saddle, I actually got it used but it's fantastic and super comfy. The gullet is interchangeable as well. Some of...

[Eclisped]

Ty for your input! I event so I might try my friend's for a dressage lesson too....

[Eclisped]

Good to know!...

[Eclisped]

Ah, yes, that could also contribute. I know that the Hunter Classics don't come in pony size. Maybe that's another reason....

[Eclisped]

Oh boy. I could go on for a while.

1) Kids (and sometimes even adults) who get frustrated when their horse/pony won't go forward because...

If you don't mind me asking, is your shoe size above or below 6.5? I'm just trying to figure out if that's maybe why some people lose their stirrups and...

[Eclisped]

From Smartpak, their weight is 2.5 lbs and I believe the JIN stirrups are less than 1lb? I believe most Fillis stirrups also weigh 2.5lbs, which I find...

[Eclisped]

I know that the footbeds are designed to not be cheese grater-y, but maybe it could also be A) the bottom will grind down on boots with lower quality...

[Eclisped]

Just a hypothesis, but perhaps it's the shoe size? Idk, but because they're wider from front to back than a normal stirrup and a smaller shoe size would...

[Eclisped]

That sounds like a good idea. I might go to the barn tomorrow and ask if I can borrow her stirrups to pop my guy over a few 2' - 2'6 jumps, just to see...

[Eclisped]

I know that the hunter ones have a regular top. The 'S' ones have the strange top that's supposed to aid with leg position or something....

[Eclisped]

Recently I had a lesson on my friend's horse because my trainer will sometimes have us ride each other's horses (so we don't just get used to riding one...

[Eclisped]

I'm going to my local Dover to see if they have it and try on some other coats to find my size (previous coat was a no tag clearance bin type thing)....

[Eclisped]

My out-of-a-clearance-bin competition coat that I've used for the SJ phase for the past 2 years has finally given out. Plus, my arms are too long. I've...

[Eclisped]

After reading all your responses I'm going to try puffy paint. If that doesn't work oh well

[Eclisped]

That's sort of what I'm worried about. I think I might just buy a new halter w/ a cool design or check with one of the places in town that does embroidery...

[Eclisped]

Recently I've noticed how sad my gelding's plain black halter is. I decided that I wanted to paint it and picked out a design and everything, except that...

[Eclisped]

After my most recent SJ lesson my gelding's legs were very irritated and swollen where his boots go. This has happened in the past couple rides with these...
