Horse's who are ridden correctly and do not have the one sided grazing stance will have matching shoulders. Really? I've read many saddle fitting articles and fitters say that generally they find shoulder asymmetry and it's usually a left shoulder larger. I suppose it may make sense to conclude tha...

Ok ladies, carry on. Without energy you have nothing. There is no connection in those videos. Over and out. you were only talking about this horse? you made it sound like you were talking about every horse. Yes, I was talking about Kande's horse. Of course I am pro circle and doing leg yield off a ...

Yes, I have done 2nd, 3rd, and even 4th opinions on things, even though I respect my primary vet and all others I've used. Sometimes we just have to touch all bases because nobody knows everything. I have used Dr. Grisel from Atlanta Equine several times for consultation on xrays, etc. I really like...

Why do you want to leg yield off the circle? Why not just turn on the quarter line and leg yield to the wall? A piece of advice a trainer told me years ago that stuck with me. He said that whatever quality of gait you had prior to starting a lateral movement, would at best stay the same or get worse...

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd be more smitten by a human baby than a horse, but that baby is beautiful!

Don't concern yourself with being behind. Just care about keeping him sound. You have much time to get where you want to go.

I'm 62, I fell hard two weeks ago,and it hurt..It still hurts...Not ready to give up but not enjoying being weak and painful.... Awaiting x-ray results...Dr thinks it may just be ligament trauma at my spine. Sigh... I had a bad fall several years ago that put me out of commission for 14 days. Horse...

Are these breeders posting racist/sexist/homophobic/fill-in-the-blank-ist comments, or are they just supporters of a political party you don't endorse? If the former, it might sway me to take my business elsewhere. What one person views as racist/sexist/homophobic/fill-in-the-blank comments, anothe...

There is no drug checking at schooling shows. At a recognize show, you could get chosen for a drug test, but it is at random. It doesn't matter if you were a winner or not going for points. It seems that in general the drug testers don't show up at the smaller one day recognized show venues. If you...

It's really just bute isn't it? Previcox is for dogs, and the equine version is Equioxx. My understanding is that Equioxx is milder than Bute but easier on the horse's stomach.

Very interesting reading the posts in this thread! To the OP... You wrote: "When you feel your horse needs to be retired, will you buy another? Or, is this your last hurrah?" I am in my late 50s and my horse is 20. I will retire my present horse in a few years even if he is sound and buy ...

Okay, I just tried emailing and it works. My guess is that the emails went to their spam folder because it comes from a no-reply address. There isn't a whole lot I can do about that. It really depends on the email system. Did you sent the email to another person, or yourself? I asked the receipient...

A few weeks ago, I sent an email to a member via DD. I didn't get a reply, and just assumed the person was not interested in discussing the topic. Just last Saturday, I sent an email to someone else, and when I didn't get a response, I PM'd them here. Turns out, they didn't get the email. In both in...

My understanding is it can find lameness in more than one leg simultaneously. I am not aware of any other modality that can claim that with any accuracy and repeatability. I am not sure why they are limiting the sale of this to vets. I disagree with that. That's a good feature. The only way for a v...

musical comedy

Not impressed. I took my gelding to my vet. I had to leave him as I had to get to work. I told his assistant Max was lame on front left. Vet called me and said horse was sound. I said you obviously haven't lunged him as then it would be obvious. So he hooked this lameness locator to him and discove...

Maybe you can find a water truck that will deliver some. Not necessarily this place, but there are others:

Ooo, that is beautiful! I have purchased two shads off ebay and gotten stung on both of them. You must be so excited about the fei debut. I know you will do excellent.

Sorry to hear of all your bad news, but congratuations on a bright looking future. Horses look awesome. I am confused about the knee though. In your first post you talk about how if you messed up the graft it would be bad news. Then you say you did blow it, but now you can ride. Be careful on those ...

My guy has this too, the hypercementosis. I have chosen not to do the extractions just yet. I don't sense he is in any pain. I REALLY did not like the vet/dentist that diagnosed this. I won't bore you guys with my horse's xrays nor go into my horse's long story. The short story is that my long time ...

Ha. 90 million bucks would have been quite a nice salary for about 20 on our local team, and I know for a fact they hand raised every penny. So, you can take that as contrary data to the "some sources". I've heard the Soros thing from various places, the most recent being the NYT (a liber...

I saw that. Problem with that idea is Trump could release something the day before, and all the work (and money) would then look like an also-ran. I think Trump should release his taxes, it goes without saying, but I don't think thousands of marchers should allow themselves to be put in a position ...

I have had them on both feet for more than 20 years. Once, I got the cortizone shot and it stopped the pain for quite a while.

There may have been signs/trash left in front of the Trump Tower, but from these pics it looks like trash was everywhere.

I believe there have been studies done about this. And (IIRC, always a big "if") the studies concluded that having LOTS of money didn't necessarily make one happier, but having SUFFICIENT money did improve one's perspective of life a lot. Having insufficient money is a constant worry and ...

I happen to think that horses that are more confident when the rider is on the ground are only so because the rider is more confident when they are on the ground. The rider/handler takes the leadership role. If you can be calm confident and inspiring when on your horse, getting off to handle a diff...

Pfft. Well, I contacted them again via FB Pm. I am so sick of their apologies and the "thank you for your patience" replies. I can see that they have not yet published the latest delay, but they told me in the FB reply that they expect to deliver in March 2017. We ordered in September 2015...

And that's what it seemed to boil down to for voters: which one has made the worst mistakes.

I am more than sure that if HRC had won, we'd still be having protests and other scary nonsense going on.

I don't have experience with that kind of horse. Whether I'm lucky or unlucky, I don't know. I do have a personal comment though.

I have mixed feelings about this. First, I do understand wanting to get one's money's worth.

It's ra...

I agree with the above - but the riders that I'm specifically talking about did not have good prep or timing. The transitions were late or non-existent, movements were extremely slow or abrupt to develop etc. The horses did individual movements, but there was no flow to it and very obviously no pre...

musical comedy

Not true. Individual movements perhaps, a whole test with all the preparation and timing. NO. Reiner Klimke was a pretty good example of a less exemplary position producing a very capable ride / horse. Otoh people can look super and sit beautifully and have neither riding tact nor be effective. Whe...

I also think that some horses are so well trained that they will perform the movements no matter what. Boy do I agree on that. I won't say that it's even the training, but just they are so willing to try. A friend of mine recently send me a video of her ride to assess as she got a bad score and kne...
