I still like the temperment of a fjord for you, though they are extremely wide, not sure if you would find that comfortable? Have you been riding in the past few years? Is there somewhere that you can go and try a few horses to narrow down your search even more?

orono

Would 15.1-2 be on the tall or short side for you?

orono

Yes, it's true. Many do have issues, some are worth their weight in gold though. I am also a mare person, so understand that bias.

orono

So the horse will be boarded out, you will be the only person riding, and you don't need the horse for lessons or breeding (just trying to keep up!). What about a good old QH gelding?

orono

Have you not bought the Gypsy mare yet?

How well broke is the Fell? I would go for training and rideability over feathers, colour, offspring value etc..

orono

Hang in there shirrine, glad to see your sense of humour is intact!

orono

Wow, how beautiful!! Congrats!

orono

Hugs and jingles.

orono

What a handsome fellow!! Have fun with him!!

I had read an article written by another mom who was visiting at the time, she wrote that her (own) husband climbed the fence to try and get to the child. Maybe that's who is being referred to?

orono

These are beautiful. The only thing you might consider adding is a type of protective cover. The last barn I boarded at had off the shelf dry erase stall boards and they were often wiped clean by horse noses!

orono

I saw the fence in question in a video clip of the story, it is akin to a low 3 rail fence but made of metal bars. VERY easy for a child to slip through or climb over. I'm very sad about the gorillas death, and wish that tranq'ing had been a viable option. I think that if the had intended to harm th...

He looks very good, steady & relaxed!

Magnificent. Coastal Oregon is probably my favorite place, spent some time there a few years ago and have been dreaming of going back or relocating...

orono

I hear you boots, my involvement in the sport has drastically changed over the last decade (ie reduced lol). I just thought it had never been of interest to you based on your other post, not that you came for dressage and stayed for other reasons!

orono

Poor you. i hope you feel better soon.

orono

I hope so too! Did you get to try her?

orono

Congrats! Wonderful that you were able to find something so quickly.

orono

Good luck!! Glad you are able to enjoy some of the views during your stay.

I've got to ask...how did you end up here (or udbb) if dressage wasn't your thing? It is quiet here, but it was the same way at the old board for quite some time. Comparing this new one with the UDBB in it's heyday is like apples and oranges. There are SO MANY other options for social media now that...

orono

The ultra unflighty might need a ground person to lead/motivate. Would that be an option?

orono

There are some good old QH types that would work well for you, big variety in the breed. I found 2 more ads, horses are a bit older but more in your region. 1 haffie & 1 appy, both mares. http://www.dreamhorse.com/ad/2013143/bella-red-chocolate-appaloosa-mare-amazing-all-around-babysitter-hor-wa...

LOL 'Energy Adverse' the ones I have knows were the same way. If anything a bit stubborn, many would only agree to trot under duress and refuse to canter, but they were safe, fun & attractive.

I can see you with a fjord, esp since roaching is the way to go!! Hopefully all of the VHS (virtual horse shoppers) here can help out.

orono

There is a pond about the same size at a campground nearby, it is stocked and has a little beach area for swimming. There's an aerator in the middle and it seems to keep the water quite clean. It does not seem to deter water fowl, and there is a resident blue heron who is often along the banks.

orono

I think that adding a defining line to the hoof, as well as embellishing the roots to make the mane more dramatic, and adding a forelock would help. It would be good to elongate the head a bit, but I don't know how hard that would be. The branches could also be extended, to finer lines, and more lea...

orono

Wow, that's a lot to go through. What are your horse requirements? Are you in the PNW?

orono

Can you pre-move before your surgery so that you only have to move yourself afterwards? I lost my father suddenly a few months ago, I know how difficult and shocking it is.

orono

I am not a tattoo person, but am very much a horse & tree person and I like it a lot.

orono

Welcome back, good luck with your horse pursuits!

This similar meme just popped up in my newsfeed...I have done every single one of them.

I'm so glad my horse is a complete mudball, by the time I finish grooming I won't have time to ride!

orono

I have had a few horses who were much better to ride then to longe. I believe that obedient longing is a very important part of a horses education, but we don't all start with clean slates with our equines, and not all progress in the same linear fashion. I had a very hot horse who was dangerous to ...

orono

Welcome! Your filly is certainly beautiful, look forward to hearing more about her.

orono

They both sound amazing, good luck!

orono

Gosh, I hope things can be sorted out so they can still come to Canada. Is there an agency handling the sponsorship can that help cut through the red tape?

orono

I think the bottom way of going would be better for a training level test.

orono

Words can not describe how much I love this bird. His timing, his body language, and especially the way the backs off and gives the horse room is exceptional.

orono

If the curb isn't used/needed then the rest of the bit resembles a double jointed baucher. Maybe give one of those a try too. But I am also a fan of less joints..I usually ride in a single jointed, but occasionally a mullen.

orono

That sounds like an excellent plan for Deneb. I did the same with a hot OTT I had, we would go and 'visit' stables, shows etc without the pressure of performance. Eventually she was able to 'work' at a new venue under pressure, but it took a few years.

Hopefully your outing goes well!

orono

You both look great, don't be so hard on yourself!

orono

I'm not surprised it went quickly, I had swooned over the pic a few times!

orono

We put diatomaceous earth around the house when we see them, and outside if we have any idea where they might be coming in from.

orono

Good idea Alex, I like my seat back completely upright, adding a supportive cushion might be enough to equalize the headrest.

orono

Does she kick in her stall too?

I agree with everything mentioned above. Is there any possibility in having her in a paddock without neighbours, at least temporarily to see what happens?

I just use a watering can for horses who have a mild cough, doesn't have to be soaked but still helps to moisten/lessen dust. But Rhys's condition might be more chronic.
