Re: Centered Riding

For the foot thing: she tapped various places on the sole until I could feel the tap go up thru my leg. She placed that spot on the stirrup, then illustrated how my leg coukd flex thru the hip. She moved my foot slightly, and suddenly my leg was locked: zero flexion thru the hip. A definite eye open...

Centered Riding

My barn just hosted a 2 day centered riding clinic with Susan Harris. I found it very helpful. Yes, as I'm at a h/j barn, there was an emphasis on jumping, but that's ok. (Even got told I ride with my stirrups a bit long for jumps. Oh well, I did tell them I rode flat work and ground poles). Discove...

Re: Your feeding regimes for the dentally challenged senior

I really had no choice as far as hay vs. hay cubes. D couldn't properly eat hay. Even with soaking, he'd leave a lot on the ground because he just couldn't chew it up properly. What he did eat resulted in diarrhea. The stuff the BO purchased seemed quite good.

Re: Your feeding regimes for the dentally challenged senior

D was in the same boat. I can't remember the amounts any more, but he was on senior twice a day, soaked hay cubes two or three times a day. Senior feed was topped off with rice bran for the extra calories. He was turned out regularly and could still eat some grass. Seemed to do very well, especially...

Re: Acting AG fired for not backing ban

If she's a political appointee, yes, he can. Doesn't sound like she was civil service (and thus protected).

Mini-brag:Leo

Just a mini-brag. A few years ago, when it became obvious D was headed for retirement, I bought a 2 year old named Leo. He was my project, and I started him under saddle. He also learned ground driving, long lining, and all his commands from me. Fast forward: we're now at a h/j barn, but a barn with...

Re: Winter Feeding of the Older Gelding

My old guys teeth are done. He's also been a hard keeper his entire life. He's getting senior feed, rice bran pellets and soaked hay cubes. There is some grass left in the pastures and it's supplemented with hay during turnout. Seems to work.
