Re: Walking away from mounting block with one leg not in stirrup
My mare is a saint about standing when I'm mounting or dismounting which is GOOD as I'm now 74 and can't just swing up quickly. The motivation to her heart is a treat. Once I'm up she waits for her treat, one on each side. The same dismounting. No matter how long it takes me she just stands there ti...

Exvet, I've enjoyed your videos! I have a question about your arena lights. How tall are the poles and are you satisfied with the height? Also do you know how many lumens each light is? Am working on putting some up in my arena before fall when we run out of daylight. Thank you ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

Years ago I had a pair custom made and they weren't all that expensive. Maybe someone who does upholstery work could fabricate you a pair. Their sewing machine is probably heavy enough to go through leather. Farriers often have their chaps locally made. Ask yours if he has any leads.

Boots, I would suspect that the amount of shavings mixed in with the manure would be a factor. Few shavings would equal slipperyness. Also the drainage under the shavings track would be important.
