Being a jerk in the stall

[MsM]

I think there are a lot of variables in determining what a good score is. First is that some judges score higher or lower than others. So two 60% rides...

I would put the last group in the bath bucket which would be upstairs whenever you are not bathing regularly. If you just rinse most of the time, the...

With a surgically repaired back, I don't think riding this horse is a risk worth taking right now. (Actually not worth taking at all)
Unless you...

Talk with your regular vet as far as pain for dog 2. You mention dog 1 crying - is he upset about being disoriented or pooping in the house? If he...

Reading this waiting for the vet to call to tell me my girl dog made it through her back surgery! Her second. Also had an operation for an intestinal...

My other hard-to-explain horse injury: Was working with a friends green mare. Got on, started walking on a loose rein, then gathered the reins to do...

[MsM]

So why not just take spurs off?...

I imagine these are used to breed those big mules the Amish used for work, no? Those things were HUGE!

When I lived in an area with Amish...

I have believed for a long time that there should be two championship tracks. "Test dressage" would start with a GP qualifier that would also...

Is the shoe itself different or is it the same shoe type with the pad removed?

Those three look really good right now. Here's hoping for soundness and safe trips.
I hope Mendelssohn is the real deal and can manage the trip....

I thought about moving from Connecticut when I retired, but I didn't. `I have lived in other places, but CT seems to suit me socially and in many non-horsey...

I think the OP horse is a bay too. I wonder if the color terms will ever get to sync with the genetics(once those are fully understood.)
I owned...

I haven't been able to ride for a few days since I threw my back out. My only consolation was that I couldn't vacuum either!

[MsM]

Most of the time he is calm and happy in his stall. He doesn't stall walk, eats well and poops in one corner. He can see the horses across the aisle and...

[MsM]

Thanks for the ideas. I don't know of anywhere with 24 hr turnout that also has decent rings. Anyway, he was in a stall situation in his previous home...

[MsM]

He has all day turnout weather permitting. Problems are when they are in due to bad weather or when someone comes at night to ride. He will do it even...

I haven't been riding for a few days and only got out to the barn today when I finally felt good enough to not take a muscle relaxer during the day (Hurt...
