Changing Barns??

I need some direction from people who have been in my shoes. I've been with my current trainer for two years. She is an outstanding teacher with decades of experience and an exceptional individual in many ways. I truly adore her as a person and mentor. Unfortunately, other than lessons with her, I'm...

Re: Anyone with experience fusing hocks?

About eight years I bought a super steady Eddy (Quarter Horse) that had had his hocks fused a few years before. He was never a super mover (before or after) more so due to his breed/conformation, but he was totally sound with no hock pain/discomfort during the time that I had him. I understand it is...

New Price! PS of Sweden "Pioneer" Bridle - Cob

My loss is your gain! A really lovely bridle from PS of Sweden, the Pioneer is their hallmark ergonomically designed bridle. I purchased this new just before Christmas and unfortunately, my mare is now going better in her old stand-by. Exceptional quality leather and cleaned after each use. See on t...

How to deal with "The Borrowers" ~ sigh . . . .

Kind of off topic, but assumed I'd get some professional and thoughtful responses. I board in a very nice barn with on-site owners. The facility is immaculate and we have two very large tack rooms for trunks and saddle/bridle racks. Each tack room is used by approximately six boarders. Recently, som...

Tota Bridle - Personal Experience?

I know there is an active link on the Micklem bridle that includes a number of comments on the PS of Sweden bridle(s) and a few on the Tota bridle. I'm in need of a new bridle (it's just wearing out) for my petite Connemara who isn't particularly fussy, but does resist the contact at times (yes, a d...

Lower Level Freestyle Music How-to's?

Hello all, I've started working on my first freestyle and have been both reading and talking to others who have a wealth of knowledge. I think I can figure out how to design the ride to work with my music, but I'm severely technologically challenged and the how-to of music editing and splicing total...

Jigging

In the past, when I've thought about "jigging", I think of rental string horses on the way back to the barn after a miserable afternoon with non-riders. That goes back almost forty years. Perhaps and hopefully, those situations don't exist any longer. Fast forward to my first/second level ...

Flash Noseband with Baucher?

Hello all, I have just made a change from a loose ring French link snaffle to a lovely Baucher with a copper mouthpiece and bean. My mare seems quite happy, although we are still in the adjustment phase. Said mare is not a huge fan of flash nosebands, and I've taken it off for these first few rides....

Ideal (Manufacturer) Saddles?

Does anyone have any first-hand experience with Ideal saddles? I am finally accepting the fact that I'll need to have something made for my 14hh Connemara with a VERY short back, and my independent saddle fitter is recommending Albion, County and Ideal. I had a Custom Saddlery saddle for my last hor...

New saddle - brown?

It's been about four years since I seriously rode dressage, but I've missed it and am all in again! My saddle is a poor fit for my (newer) mare, and so I'm shopping for high quality/used and have put mine on consignment. My independent saddle fitter brought nine saddles for me to try yesterday, prim...
