This is a Morgan. He is definitely not bouncy! But I will ask her that exvet. That's a good point!
I'm not frustrated (even though I may sound like I am) so much as I am worried about whether I am doing right by the horse.

So, here's the thing. I am entirely too fat to get on her horse and ride. So, she occasionally gets another dressage instructor to get on and ride the horse. She sees Susan (the other instructor) get him forward (ish) and agrees he looks fantastic. She gets on and rides the horse after Susan rides a...

We had a talk about "forward" last week. When I say electric off the leg, I mean that when her leg goes on, I want him to move. Not yawn and decide now might be the time to go. I do need to have more discussion with her about her goals. I feel like I am saying the same things every week an...

If you are really a horse person and want to join this board, I suggest using a horse-y related username or something that people recognize from the old board. We just opened up the board to a few countries. Hopefully we will not see spam increase. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if we see ...

I have a student who has been a trail rider her entire life. I knew her when she was a kid and taught her some basic horse skills when she was younger. Several years ago, she reached out to me because she had a 4yo Morgan she had just purchased as her next horse and wanted to do some dressage with h...

You guys keep it! We got 3" of snow here (it was supposed to be less than an inch) on Saturday. That's about all I want to deal with these days. But, I have to say, my husband and sat and watched the Bruins play while sipping mulled cider and watching a gentle snowfall. It was kind of nice!

Also very sorry I missed your PM. There has been a lot of turmoil in my life in the recent past. So I am not checking in here that often.

The problem which prevented new board members from joining has been fixed! Special thanks to Chisamba for reaching out to me via Facebook!

Sorry to put this here, but this is where everyone is. Does anyone know how to contact Chancellor? Larvaontheroad is trying to join the board (from NJ) and has been waiting a week and sent three emails and nothing. I messaged her and nothing. I don't think she gets on very often, but I think she's ...

Oh my.
Have you tried moth balls? I've had success with them keeping smaller animals out of my woodshed.

There isn't going to be much to enjoy when people just come to read what others post.

Good morning, Im going to be doing some housekeeping in the coming weeks. If you have joined the board but have posted nothing, your username will be deleted. If you joined in 2015 and haven't posted since then, I will delete the user name. So, if you are just enjoying the board and have not posted,...

Mari,
The images have to be less than 50 kb I think. I have to look.
Unfortunately, at this time, I am really swamped with the job that pays the bills.

Heart disease specifically dilated cardiomyopathy

This is fairly old news. It isn't so much that the food is grain free. It is what is substituted for the grain. Like peas and lentils. Legumes are apparently not good for some dogs.

Just 5 short weeks til my second trip to Austria. I can't wait to go to the Spanish Riding school again.
Yes, I know, I know.....it's in upheaval right now. That doesn't make the Lippizans any less beautiful.

Damn, I wish I had checked this thread out. I just got my niece one of the Rambo ones but the Lumiere has that pretty browband.

Interesting subject. My penmanship has never been great.

I sold my Exiss trailer yesterday to a very nice couple who live few hours away from me. The wife is a first-time horse owner. Husband seemed quite knowledgeable about other types of trailers in general. I did not get my full asking price, but I am very satisfied with my final sales price and how s...

I was more interested in their fleeces!
I have a friend who got sheep to keep her horse company. She is now as addicted to spinning their wool as I am!

What do you do with these sheep? What breed are they?

Chisamba, you need to share more pictures of your Bully!
Also, you are a very talented sketch artist.

Man, I must have really undersold my trailer when I finally did! I don't have advice for you because I was in the same boat. I had no idea how to price it.

Siameses do enjoy being very warm. The box on my side desk has a body activated warming blanket for them. One would think they would spontaneously combust given that when they cuddle together they put off a ton of heat.

blob, keep the thoughts coming. I'm watching this thread with interest.

There is more work to be done. Specifically around this forum. But we will get there

http://definitelydressage.com/search.php?search_id=newposts

Yes, I agree. Any thoughts?

Ok. I think that I have received enough interest that I will keep this open.
Now, I am using the original forums that Mark set up way back in the day from Ultimate Dressage.
Do we need to make changes there?

I enjoy the training threads and would love to see more people on it.I'm always in to have a read. I'll pull my finger out and post more, but unfortunately I feel the FB/instagram stuff has taken over BBs. I feel like the instagram/FB thing have taken over as well. However, as others have noted, I ...

Oh wow! Ok. If you guys are getting value out of this board, then so be it. Again, the money is not that much. But I didn't want to continue the board if no one was getting value out of it. And Quelah, I need to hear about sheep. I am a handspinner and I ALWAYS want sheep pictures. Let me talk to DH...

I'll be honest. I thought that by now, I would be able to maybe get some advertising budget to offset the $600 dollars a year I'm paying for this. I mean, it isn't that much money but still it is money!

I am not noticing a lot of activity here on Definitely Dressage. I'm sort of wondering if people are actually coming here anymore.

I absolutely use trot poles to help with the idea. The thing to do is to have a ground person to help!
Start with some normal length trot poles. Then push the last two out a little to help her get the idea to take a longer stride!

The php version is fairly outdated here so I probably need to upgrade. But I need an entire weekend to do it.

I have removed the part of the post about the Go Fund Me. If someone is interested in helping out Rhapsody, you can private message her.
I'm leaving this here to be nice but your first post really shouldn't be asking outright for money.

That was on the news last night. I cried.

Chancellor. I do not know, but I stay logged in all night! Hayburner--The whole trial is on Youtube. Each day is numbered. It is stunning the depths of depravity. https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=barisone+trial And, yes, it is stunning how evil people can be. Apparently mommy, daddy, an...

Chancellor, where were you able to watch the actual trail? Thanks A good portion of it. And it amazed me. I kept saying that it was like an overly dramatic movie that no one believes could happen in real life. Except it did! I feel very bad for Michael Barisone. There were always allegations of him...

Tanga, I can find nothing that is causing you to be logged out. I'm looking but I can't find anything. I was wondering how the people who are boarding her horses now are feeling. I cannot imagine keeping my horse in the same barn as her. She is just do awful. I watched the trial (well most of it) an...

This whole case is very intriguing to me. I cannot imagine being in this position and I feel really badly for Michael Barisone. Seeing Lauren on the stand, I was aghast at just how awful she can be!

On CBS and streaming on Paramount + in case anyone else is interested

A quick look at the boards about PHPBB show that this is some issue with the software. I have a few things I need to try.

I will try to look into it. I was pretty sick last weekend so I couldn't.

Prayers and jingles all around.

Absolutely nothing has changed! I have not made any changes in the way things are working. But I will try to take a look at this this weekend.

Georgia will play Marco Polo with Jackson (sometimes at night). She is very demanding with him.

For those unfamiliar with Marco Polo, its a kids game where one person shouts Marco and the rest have to reply Polo.
