Does that mean you are a good candidate for Herceptin? If so, that is very good. Good news! I hope you can enjoy your Thanksgiving a bit more now.

LeoApp

I don't think the Constitution should be cluttered with amendments like these. And what if there was one and the budget still was not balanced? What repercussions would there be?

LeoApp

No. This idea has been floated before. They already have an obligation to balance the budget.

LeoApp

I am very sorry to hear this. Sending strength to you and your family as you go through this. We are here if you need us.

LeoApp

Yes It used to come in blue and in green. It is nice and warm. I always layer underneath it but I am never cold when I wear it.

LeoApp

This is the one I have and I love it. This may be the one you had that you are talking about http://www.doversaddlery.com/the-original-mountain-horse-winter-jacket/p/X1-40198/?eid=X18A00U1000&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=CSE&utm_campaign=MerchantAdv&zmam=1460880&zmas=1&zmac=...

Laurie - I wasn't saying they would tank because a Republican won. I was saying they would tank because Trump won and Wall Street considers him unpredictable. I think if say, John Kasich had been the nominee and won, I would not be wondering what the markets were doing to do. Hey - I want more than ...

LeoApp

Fantastic!

LeoApp

At least the markets got a hold of themselves. We'll see what happens going forward.

I think a lot of people just did not vote at all because they couldn't stand either candidate. That is very unfortunate. People should vote. Period.

LeoApp

Chancellor - I disagree about the markets. I think they would have soared today if Hillary won. Wall Street likes stability. They see her (policies) as being more stable and his as unpredictable. As far as the House and Senate not going along with him - I agree with you. A lot did not want to endors...

LeoApp

All I can say is be careful what you wish for. They wanted change. They'll get change. But it might not have the intended consequences. The markets are already taking a dump. Don't look at your 401(k) folks.

LeoApp

We had a good session tonight. Lots of groomies and skritches and carrots. I hand walked her down the driveway at a marching walk, letting her eat grass. I saw a worried look come across her face when we got to a certain point so we stopped and she ate grass. At that point I did a little in hand wo...

LeoApp

I think you need to spend bonding time with her. Become a herd of two. Without always riding her when you go to the barn, why don't you take her for a walk away from the barn. Use gloves and a helmet, and a lead with a chain. Bring treats. Walk her to a distance where she is still happy and comforta...

LeoApp

Horses have great memories. I bet he did remember the place.

LeoApp

That is amazing. Looks great! When it is fully healed you are never going to know anything ever happened there.

LeoApp

I am so sorry for your loss.

LeoApp

That is fantastic! Great story!

LeoApp

I will be 55 in a few months. I had to put my 33 year old horse down last December. I am still grieving. I can't talk about him without my eyes welling up. I rode him pretty much every day of the week and had him for 19 years. We had an extremely close bond. I know I will never have that sort of exp...

LeoApp

Wow he is a fancy pony! I like the way you look on him. Your trainer is a good rider. I just found myself wanting to see the pony have more stretch over his topline and more relaxation with your trainer aboard.

LeoApp

Since Lyme is endemic to where I live, the vets here have LOADS of experience dealing with it. I can't even tell you how many horses I know that have had it and been treated for it, all successfully, I might add. I think Lyme is going to be more and more widespread over time. We do Lyme titres that ...

LeoApp

I know it is hard to tell from pics, but his weight looks good in the pic. He looks really sweet. Kind eye. Yes, cobby!!
Good luck with him. There is nothing better than a horse a good mind. With that, you can accomplish pretty much anything.

LeoApp

Yes I agree with exvet. I don't want to make you think that I disagree with your retiring him. Just curious why you would go straight to that solution without doing something pretty simple. And if you did a test for EPM and it was inconclusive, you could just stop right there.

LeoApp

Love him! He sounds like a lot of fun with lots of potential.

LeoApp

I don't understand why you wouldn't at least do the blood test for EPM and if it is that, you could treat for it without going too crazy doing tons of diagnostics. I have a friend whose mare has EPM and her symptoms were very much like what you described. It never got any worse. It was just a NQR hi...

LeoApp

Sorry.

if he is mopey too he probably is in some sort of pain. I hope that your horse ultimately has as good of an outcome as mine. He adjusted to his deficit and felt fine, and lived to 33 with no other eye issues.

LeoApp

I have heard conflicting stories about whether or not they feel pain. I think you just have to go by your horse and how he is acting. I felt that with my horse's pressure at 85 he may have felt pain and that is why I did the surgery. However, he never acted like he was in pain, and he was NOT a very...

LeoApp

Yes. My appaloosa went blind in his left eye due to glaucoma. My horse was put on the same type of drops that humans use (CosOpt and Timolol) but they did no good. I took him for laser surgery at the Ruffian Center to get his pressure down (it was 85 at the time) in the hopes of maybe saving the sig...

LeoApp

I have a special place in my heart for Morgans. I have always wanted one. I am so sorry for your loss. Thank you for telling us about her.

LeoApp

Congratulations!! No wasting time getting back in that saddle! You go girl!
Adorable pics.

LeoApp

Lots and lots of experience. One company sold their book of business to another and just went out of business. One company merged with another company and changed names and management. They always will "Look for synergies" which means getting rid of redundancy and laying people off. Or, in...

LeoApp

I am sorry for your loss. You guys had another couple of good months with him. (((hugs)))

LeoApp

I agree that I prefer change when I am the one that initiates it, but even then there is the fear of the unknown, and the fear that you may have made the wrong decision. However, nothing ventured nothing gained. I feel that nothing is permanent if you don't want it to be, and if you made a wrong tur...

LeoApp

Thank you so much for sharing your adventure with us!! I enjoyed it very much. I am not a big fan of camping or sharing a room with 8 other people so I am not sure that aspect would work for me, but I am a spoiled city girl. lol
It has been a long time since I was on a riding vacation.

LeoApp

Nice looking boy, but I think he needs to lose a few pounds!!

LeoApp

If he always spooks in the same area, you can take the time out of the saddle to lead him around the arena and over to the scary part. Maybe it will help desensitize him to it. Wear your helmet while you are doing it.

LeoApp

lol you sure are preaching to the choir, but go ahead and sing it sister! I couldn't agree more.

LeoApp

He looks like he might be a good all-arounder if he learns how to accept contact. I also agree he is downhill. He looks Morgan-ish/QH-ish.
I also noticed the mounting reaction he had (raising the head). I think he is worth a look but I don't think he is worth 5500.

LeoApp

She does have a soft look in her eye. Enjoy her! Bob says please go ahead a love another horse. It is OK.

LeoApp

Oh Tricia - I am sure you cried as you wrote this. It certainly made me cry. He was the horse of a lifetime. There will never be another horse like him and that is how it should be.

LeoApp

I think all horses are different and will take different amounts of time to bond with you, but it also depends on how much time you spend with them and how you treat them. Any horse that bonds with you gives you their heart. My friend goes away all summer and I was caring for and riding her gelding....

LeoApp

Excellent! So glad you are feeling well and showing, and doing it on such a nice pony.

The Cowboy This printed in a Texas newspaper : The oldest cowboy in Texas died this week at the age of 106. On his birthday he was asked his secret to longevity and he said that for the past 50 years he has sprinkled a little gunpowder on his cereal each morning. He left behind 8 children, 21 grandc...

And your world is back on its axis!

A friend who works with farmers in KY and is a PhD in some agricultural field (don't remember what exactly) told me that corn is no longer a good choice for horses since it has been genetically modified.

LeoApp

he is adorable!

LeoApp

Wow. Such destruction.

LeoApp

Tarlo - love it!!
I would just say, "Just call me Gina. That's what I answer to". Or something like that.

LeoApp

At least your sense of humor is intact! Can't be too careful with bats. I don't know why every one is considered to possibly have rabies, but they are SO beneficial to the environment.

LeoApp

Well now you really have me all jealous, because if I ever get another equine I want it to be a GRP!! To find one trained to such a high level - wow. Great find. Lucky you!

LeoApp

I think I would have loved to be a librarian. I worked as a page in my town's public library all through high school and I knew how to find stuff than the Reference Librarians did. Patrons would always ask me questions and I would help them if I could. The librarians would get mad at me. I loved tha...
