Posture Fail
Since I stopped riding dressage, about 8 months ago, I have recently started lessons in Western. My posture has left town. I used to sit tall and correct, now my very patient instructor has to keep reminding me not to roll my shoulders in, etc. I feel like a slouch. Is this because I'm riding in a W...

Did any of your horses still experience occasional swelling of the area after healing?

Suspensory Injury
Has anyone dealt with a suspensory injury involving the branches on a rear fetlock?
If so, what was your method of treatment and how long was your horse laid-up?

Re: Saddle Fitters-Need Input
I'm hoping to be getting the right saddle soon.
Photo of pony from side so you all can see why she is hard to fit.
She is a 20 yo Saddlebred/TWH/Hanoverian.

Re: Saddle Fitters-Need Input
Thanks for the reply
My mare is so darn hard to fit for a saddle. I plan on having a fitter come out and help us find something that works, but that's a few weeks away.

I have noticed my local GMO hardly puts out a newsletter or any type of communication any longer.
There seems to be no activity at all except to round up membership.

Treat Suggestions?
In other words what treat would you suggest as a reward during training, such as when mounting, when your horse hates sugar cubes and even peppermints.
I try cutting up carrots, which she loves, into small pieces but I was wondering if there were any other alternatives.

Re: Riding After a Hysterectomy
I had my surgery on 11/9. It was a lap (DaVinci) and was a complete hyst. I figure I should be released to ride by March, hopefully, if all heals according to plan. I was curious as to if anyone was very uncomfortable for the first few rides.
