Paula what part of the bathing doesn't she like? My mare lived out in a herd for 5 years and probably never had a bath. Omg, if I even brought a damp rag near her sh thought I was trying to kill her :) I couldn't even wipe her face off. The prior barn I was at she didnt care for the confinement of t...

Here was my response in another post: When I was looking I refused to even look at a mare - In my boarding over the years - I found the mares to just not click with me...maybe I gave them a vibe that I wasn't a mare person..LOL....Loved my heart horse who was a gelding. I did part lease a mare that ...

Hayburner

WOW - SO PROUD of both of you!!!

I can't wait till I muster up the courage to take my girl outside...

You two look super!

Hayburner

You certainly did more than just sell your dressage saddle....good for you! it's hard to let go of the things that we are tied to emotionally, but it's freeing once we do. Since I put my heart horse down, I've been trying to let go of some of his things, I pick them up and good memories come floodin...

Scruffy - So sorry to hear that your beloved dog passed.

Thanks Phoenix! Hope you have a great time. So sad I won't be there. I was co versed about traveling alone down there.

Hayburner

Hi Paula - No, I don't get the Olympic channel, but as it turns out I do get the Cowboy channel and also NBC sports, so I will get a few of the events taped. I may still sign up for FEI tv, especially if my trip to WEG remains cancelled. I'm checking with a few other friends to see if they are inter...

Hayburner

Condolences in the loss of her riding buddy. Good luck in your search for a new partner, it's hard to replace the steady eddies that we trusted so much.

Hayburner

Thanks for the link, it does look pretty easy, even for me

Hayburner

Ryeissa - Hooking up my laptop would be way above my level of being a techy, LOL

I do not have the Cowboy channel - tho, I do have RideTV and RFD.

I'll check NBC too - I cancelled a lot of the sports channels as I never watched them.

Hayburner

I want a subscription to watch the WEG. I am no computer savy - so maybe someone here can give me a little insight. When I looked around the site it shows you can watch it on an ipad (Apple) or also on my Google (Android) phone, but I don't see how I can watch it or use my DVR to record on my smart ...

Hayburner

Phoenix - Where are you staying?

My trip may be back on - but, I had cancelled my prior hotel reservation so I need to another one.

Thanks !

Hayburner

My trip to WEG was cancelled - so sad about this.

The friend that I was traveling with has been having some recent health issues and isn't up for the trip.

Hayburner

Heads up - They are on sale for 30% off right now!!!

The code is: BrnGrPerk

Not sure how long it's good for but I just got the email today..

Hayburner

I would see what they are offering before I hired an attorney.

If you don't think it's fair then shop around, some advertise for way less than. 40%.

If you are friendly with someone at your insurance company, ask what they think about the offer.

I too would not want to hand over 40%!

Hayburner

Tlkidding. Thank you for your suggestion and the reason why my leg is not underneath me.

Suggestions for opening and releasing the hip flexors?

I sit at a desk all day and I don't workout or do yoga

Hayburner

Following this thread - as I think I have my stirrups a bit too short - like 2 or 3 holes too short. A dressage instructor would make me lower them - but, for now I feel more secure with the shorter stirrup. A friend took a pic of me last week and right away I did notice that my leg was more forward...

Hayburner

I won't be there until the 21st.

Don't forget our friend Mike Matson and his fiancé Barbara only lives 10 minutes away.

Hayburner

How long are you staying?

Hayburner

We have huge doors on our indoor. Would it work if I put the unit just outside the doors. I'd guess it would not record/catch me near the Wall closest to the door, but wouldn't get any of the indoor riding?

Hayburner

Ponichiwa - Go ahead and spoil Queso and yourself! It's all a part of buying a new horse . I don't even want to think about all the new stuff I bought when I got my mare and continue to buy..YIKES.....it's fun.....

Hayburner

I also live where there is beautiful hay and some crappy hay. My old guy gobbled up the soft orchard grass - the price was $6.50 a bale -delivered. Even though my hay came from the same farm all the time, I always mixed the old batch with flakes of the new. Giving some of the old and some of the new...

Hayburner

Thanks for the link - I may need to use a service too.

Hayburner

You certainly made a great choice with this handsome guy!

Glad to hear he is so laid back and your having FUN !!

Hayburner

Thanks for the update on the Schneiders cooler.

I now have 3 different coolers so I guess 1 or all of them should get the princess dry.

Hayburner

I'm sorry it can't track indoors - that would really be a great tool for me. I really don't have someone available to take video's for a lot of my rides.

Hayburner

Straightforward, how does the manual mode work? Just like a camera on a tripod? So you only get bits and pieces of your ride?

I have a Sony camcorder that I haven't used in yeasts, would that work the same?

Hayburner

I loved my 1/2 arab - smart, safe, great mover, excellent feet, very healthy, never an issue with hocks. I really, really wanted a Sempatico bred horse - but, from the few I looked at - they were hotter than I wanted. Then I ended up with a hottish baroque bred! LOL....I should have bought a quarter...

Hayburner

I looked at their website and from what I could tell - both the short distance and the longer are for outdoor use only. I am only riding indoors and with winter a few months away I doubt I will be using the outdoor. Is there one for indoor use? Or can it be used in an indoor arena? I've been wanting...

Hayburner

Glad you both like it!

Hayburner

What I meant by controlling her feet etc was that that's all I could do is try to control where she was going, how fast and getting her body and brain to relax. It was exhausting as that's ALL I could do and most times I failed. mid02004. - Yes, my mare has the same issue with the lunge, she just ge...

Hayburner

Scruffy, sorry to had to make the decision to put Farley down. Imho having another horse right away may be the best thing for you. I put my heart horse down on July 5th and I think having bought my mare 2 years before all this really helped me. it still gave me somewhere to go, responsibility and ah...

Hayburner

I finally got her to walk and her anxiety level and quickness has dramatically improved. She is now going on the bit for short periods and is easier to bring back when she does want to get a little quicker. I don't know exactly what has given me back the horse I originally purchased - but, I'm thril...

Hayburner

I still like the quality of Stubben leather. Last year I bought a bridle off Ebay - the seller was (I think) British Bridles and its a nice leather and wasn't super expensive. When I had the bridle checked by a fitter she commented on the quality. I have some very old Stubbens that have held up real...

Hayburner

Thanks for the heads up. I've been thinking about getting one - but, blew them off when all I saw was problems with delivery.

Hayburner

I have been holding back from horsey shopping ( well at least this month) I am going to WEG and I'm sure there will be many styles/brands that my local shop and some of the internet shops don't readily have - so I can go on spree there!

Hayburner

He's adorable ! Congrats ! Love those Quarter Horses !

Hayburner

I agree with piedmontfields - I do understand how you feel like you should say something especially if this person drops your name as a "reference"..... I have 2 friends that I would not give a great recommendation to a barn owner. I love them dearly but they are never happy and are insist...

Hayburner

Hope you like it!

Just be careful when washing it, do it on gentle cycle.

Hayburner

Hope you like it!

Hayburner

Lovely! And to think at one time this sweety was unwanted.

Hayburner

I have to say I am not good with my phone, camera, etc. But, if it's important there is always someone I can ask to help me post pics or videos.

If the lady really wants to sell her horses she better get some help communicating

Hayburner

Yes - Ryeissa the ones with the light blue underside.

I also love my Ogily pad - the underside is so soft and it washes (even in my top load) beautifully ! I don't use it on super hot/humid days as it takes a long time to dry compared to the Lettia.

Hayburner

Congrats! She's so cute! Love those big butted quarter horses! Have fun with her, I'm sure she's happy with all the attention you are giving her.

Hayburner

Congrats! He's adorable - enjoy your new boy! Sounds like he's going to be perfect for you.....love that he's got such a fun personality.

Hayburner

I have been drooling over the DP saddles for abut 2 years now. Unfortunately I have not seen or sat in one yet, I'm hoping they have a booth at WEG so I can finally get to. Since I own an Iberian I thought I should give one a try, I have asked a few people if they think mine would be considered &quo...

Hayburner

Have you tried Ebay or English Tack Trader on Facebook?

Hayburner

I have 3 of them - I do like them as they dry very, very quick and they do seem to absorb lots of sweat. Do they keep her drier??? Not really sure about that as she is a heavy sweater. They are nice and light weight. I got mine when Smartpak was having a free embroidery day. I did have a problem wit...

Hayburner

So sorry that you have this diagnosis - It's hard to hear and accept on such a young horse. Since I had a misdiagnosis with my mare as the specialist did not nerve block her - get the nerve blocks done you will know more about what you can do for him. My mare too was running on acreage for 5 years a...

Hayburner

I rode her tonite with her newly adjusted saddle and winding down from being in season. She was good, very little initial anxiety and we did have some nice walking. Yes, I still had to remind her we were walking but like last week she didn't resist as much, came back to me quicker and only had to ge...
