Exvet - HUGE Congratulations!!!

A sane talented pony is priceless.

Josette

Like many others mentioned - I take a long time walking trails before any ring work followed by lateral work at walk while it is forward. IMO the horse and situation seems to determine the best approach as an individual warmup. My very laid back TB did best with canter at the start. My Connemara who...

If you like to sleep on your side - a pillow between the legs helps.

Josette

I would have spoke up and said that is "Sharon's cubicle" just to clarify and politely remind the BM. What is his approximate age as that may be partly the reason too?

Josette

Not weird but definitely offensive. Any female adult should not be referred to as "girl". He is rude and it a way of not acknowledging the person's worth and identity in the work place.

https://www.horsemagazine.com/thm/whos-who/de-kunffy-charles/ I've viewed two clinics many years ago with CdK and there is NO comparing him to Belasik or whoever Barbier is. He greatly helped each rider during their lesson while the audience and rider could see and feel the improvement. He also hopp...

Josette

The best is when you can enjoy your beautiful outdoors with all these views while inside. Perfect!!

Josette

I purchased very large containers with snap on tight lids to store blankets, pads, leg wraps, etc. in the barn They are mice proof! Otherwise, the little rodents destroy anything with material.

Chisamba - my 2 cents for the photos - the middle picture with the lowest head is my favorite. IMO this posture will help him stretch and start to use muscles in his back and hopefully to loosen him up. If there is anyone who can rehab this horse it is you. I'm guessing from his prior driving days h...

Josette

Ditto what Flight said! You did an amazing job in Finn's healing and recovery. He looks GREAT!!! (and very happy to be outside!)

Josette

MB made multiple phone calls to the police and yet the situation continued to escalate. Very sad.

Josette

Thank you!!! I got it to work after I re-entered my password.

Josette

IMO the long term soundness issues mentioned caught my attention. It seems they breed and push these horses to the max for this sport (and other equine sports) without consideration for the welfare of the animal. OT but very sad when I see sale advertisements of very young horses doing higher level ...

Please PM me your addresses as I need the zip code to help determine postage fee. Thanks!

I thought my email was already setup on this iPhone because I can read my emails. However, I'm unable to reply to an email. So does it sound like my account is still not set up?

Josette

I have tons of pictures on my Apple iPhone v6 which I seem unable to forward via email. I can send a photo via text message method but if I select someone's email address - not sent. The email sit in my outbox and never get sent. I've tried looking at the settings but do not see any issue there. I'm...

Well then forget my donations as older plus smaller sizes. Too bad they are all higher end items made far better than some of the clothes sold today.

I just contacted them too to find a donation location. More closets to clean out!

I've recycled former kitchen top cabinets to store small items - liniments, shampoos, first aide creams, etc. It is so hard to keep stuff free of dust so enclosed cabinets versus open shelves works for me. You can place supplement containers on open shelve since they are used daily. Likewise, I also...

Josette

Thanks to everyone who contacted me for items. I'll get back to you soon for shipping details. THANKS!!

Josette

Dresseur - very interesting body awareness observations you made regarding force and our perception. I've found this really an issue when trying to address a weaker side in both horse and rider. Flight mentioned this too with the weaker leg on the rider. Horses IMO like people have a weaker vs stron...

Josette

Finished 2nd season of 'Keeping Faith' - great series filmed along Welsh coast. Acorntv

Josette

Very pretty and different! You will look smashing in it! I have a nephew wedding in Sept 2020 - but I cannot convince myself yet to wear a dress. I'm older and I like my arms covered and longer length too. I haven't worn a dress in YEARS!

Josette

I won't read it. Sounds like moderators may be MIA.

Josette

Thanks all who are interested in these items. I plan to pickup most of the items this Wednesday - so if you change your mind or anyone wants something else please let me know. I'm sorry I was unable to provide photos now - some of the items were listed on the Skyland Saddlery EBAY site - but not all...

Josette

Thanks!!

Josette

I just want to mention I listed some items in the Free Cycle forum. I know sometimes folks don't scroll down there - but if you are interested .... I still have lots of books I want to get rid of too. Just pay shipping as I want this stuff gone - all in VG condition or almost new items. Tricky part ...

Josette

I find MC's posts very informative as she has tons of experience and may provide a different perspective and view point. That is what a lively discussion and learning is all about IMO. This is coming from myself who can be very blunt and rough around the edges.

Josette

Thank you!

Josette

My guy is a very sensitive type too. He completely trusts me (now) but he is very suspicious of strangers touching him. When the equine dentist puts on that head lamp ----> MONSTER!! We take it slow and let him check it out and then he is very cooperative. She may have had some bad experiences in th...

Josette

Although I do not actively post in this forum - I've gotten some VERY helpful tips and exercises from the more advanced and experienced trainers and riders here. I've had MORE MAJOR light bulb moments reading these very detailed and articulate posts with CLEAR descriptions - than when I was paying s...

Josette

https://thehorse.com/178062/crooked-horse-under-saddle-a-single-bell-boot-can-help/ I saw that article too about the single bell boot. I might give it a try too depending how my guy reacts to it on a hind foot. Dresseur - wishing your Miro a speedy recovery (you too). I enjoy your photos and very de...

Josette

WOW!! What an incredible start to almost finished healing progress of this injury. I have never seen buttons used this way but it is a very creative method for bandage coverage and changes. Sending more jingles for speedy recovery - almost there!

Josette

maybe look into cold lazer therapy

Josette

This is a very interesting discussion regarding techniques and how they may be applied to various horse breeds and training level. It makes better sense as to why the rider would use them and when/why per the horse (breed). As noted in some cases a technique should to be used by experienced riders a...

Josette

What I use to observe in boarding situations years ago was feeding large amount of sweet feed and less hay. The pastures were not maintained and poor food sources IMO. Hay is expensive and takes up space for storage. When a boarder brought in extra hay to supplement minimal hay given then the barn w...

Josette

This has been a challenge because I've always had hay in front of my horses. I have 3 turnouts where one is a dry lot and the others have moderate grass. However, this year with all the rain has made the grass grow like crazy and we have had to cut it several times. Hay has always been the our prima...

Josette

The training in FL I also interpret as expensive and only for someone with the time / money to pursue it. Even when I was working full-time and may have been able to splurge the money - how would I have the time to disappear from my job for several weeks? So that would automatically disqualify me to...

Josette

If you can make contact to get your favorite farrier back - discuss with him how you can coordinate your visit with the the nearby farm visits. This may help him and you to keep to a pre-booked schedule. I have one horse at home and my farrier has me on a schedule with the nearby farms he visits. I ...

Josette

For what it's worth - my guy had a mild colic a few weeks back in this extreme heat. Besides the vet addressing the colic with medications - we also gave him some oral paste electrolytes which really increased his water intake. I give now on occasion after a very hot sweaty ride as a precaution. I r...

Josette

Consider it kismet and that it was not meant to be. I like Chisamba reply about learning from the experience - but now it's time to move on. There will always be another horse and another wonderful opportunity in the future. For me, the replies from LeoApp and Rockabilly hit home as I am an older ri...

Josette

Sending jingles for a good soundness results.

Josette

I've always had a standing appointment schedule with my farrier (or anyone I used in the past). When they are done the next appt date is already booked. Rarely has an appt been missed - only for some personal emergency on the farrier. I never cancel an appt. I would highly recommend this arrangement...

Josette

Wishing a speedy recovery for Maia. I'm so sorry you lost piggy.

Josette

I'm going to guess maybe commuting to work costs? When I did a lot of commuting I commonly put 38K to 40K a year in miles on my car. So those costs for gas and car maintenance. Likewise, when DH commuted into NYC the monthly cost for car park at the station, train tickets and subway costs. These cos...

Josette

Thanks PaulaO - it was your posts that hooked me on Acorn. I was watching a series but it was incomplete so I had to finish it on another British channel. The Britbox is monthly through Amazon Prime so I will drop it soon. I also do Masterpiece as another subscription.

Josette

I assume all the rain has made these pests very active this season. We cannot seem to escape them. I swear they go through my socks to bite my ankles. I'm guessing the dogs carry them inside too onto the furniture - so then they get higher up on our clothing. The itchy bites are making me crazy.

Josette

SF - I watched Catastrophe on Amazon Prime too. Not what I typically watch but got pulled in after the about 2 episodes - not what I expected but very good. Since I'm into lots of British and Foreign series I signed up for AcornTV - but then some series were incomplete so I got BritBox too. (I will ...
