I wouldn't do anything differently, I have ridden regularly for about 35 years, and have owned for much of it. When finances have been tight I have leased horses out to cover the costs but maintain control. I have had ups and downs, times of advancing, and other times of stagnation (probably some re...

I remember doing those when I was in HS, they were a ton of fun. I'm still in touch with the friends I made then, and it was in the 80s.

orono

I would probably put the shoes back on and see how he does, this doesn't sound like fun for either of you.

orono

Beautiful!! Glad you're enjoying her!

orono

PS. How would you handle things if your current barn helper got pregnant after moving in to the mobile with her fiance?

orono

I think this will be easier to resolve before they move in than afterwords. But putting your foot down may cost you both tenants, so make sure you're ready for that. I understand not wanting kids around (though I have 3 myself!), but I think the grey are is that you were allowing them on weekends. M...

How's your beautiful girl doing? She has a lovely topline!

orono

That's a nice before and after Chisamba!! I would love to fix my shoulder tilt in the half pass too!

orono

What a beautiful girl, I hope you have fun with her!

orono

What a beautiful place, I wish I was shopping in that neck of the woods!

orono

Very scary, I hope Irma changes her path somewhat and they are not hit with the full force.

orono

What a beautiful dog, I'm so sorry for your loss.

orono

Beautiful, thank you for sharing.

orono

Many heartfelt jingles.

orono

Mine has no withers and is built like a marshmallow on legs..but can't roll over. Rolls on one side, gets partly up (sometimes only to her knees) then down on the other side. She made it over completely once and shocked herself. She's quite supple, so I don't worry about it, but have noticed it over...

I've heard it a few times, but clinicians who's first language was not english. I think it's a way of describing something that doesn't have an exact translation.

orono

No info on the mattress but LOL "rogue"!!

orono

What a beautiful and happy dog. I'm so sorry for your loss, but thank you for sharing her with us.

orono

Sickening and abusive. I'm glad you're looking to move Albert.

orono

What would you tell one of your patients if they had the same injury and wanted to ride? lol

orono

I'm so sorry, for you and for the poor mare. How long ago did the choke start? I don't understand why she was wandering the property loose because of it? I have seen horses who were choking that were able to resolve it on their own fairly quickly (less than 15 mins), but for her to starve to death i...

orono

Ouch! That sucks! I think you should be ok to ride once the swelling subsides, if you keep the rein outside of your pinky finger so there's no pressure on the ring finger. I would stick to reliable mounts with good brakes and steering just in case.

orono

What a cutie!! Congrats! I hope your daughter enjoys him!!

orono

I'm so sorry for your loss. :'(

orono

Oh that's wonderful! So much easier to continue at the same spot than to get a horse back from the trainers and settled into a different place!

orono

I'm so sorry, I'm glad you get to enjoy a few more days with her. Please post a pic when you can. Hugs.

orono

Worth a try, though I know some people/barns insist that they are taken off overnight as not to impede vision (I have left them on 24/7 during ulcer treatments with no issues).

orono

Does she live outside or come in every night?

orono

If she's losing halters she's either catching them on something or paying rough with a buddy. Probably safer to turn her out without them, just in case, even if they're breakaway.

orono

You guys look great!! Will she be staying at the same barn as you take over her riding?

orono

I know how you feel, I'm the same way. I'm glad you have a diagnosis, best wishes with making a decision re treatment etc. Hugs.

orono

What a little doll!!

orono

High WBC is usually a sign of infection, if that's what it is she might feel much better after some antibiotics, and fluids or anti inflamms if she needs them. I wouldn't say it's hopeless, but it's good to be open to different outcomes with older animals. Hope she feels better soon.

orono

Terrific!!

orono

Congratulations!!! I'm so happy for you!!

orono

Fabulous!! I love when things go better than expected!!

orono

Jenniferkey just posted a nice drafty type in the sales section, horse is located in TX. (just in case)

orono

How are things going with your girl? Have you had the trainer talk yet?

orono

The donkey is beyond cute, and looks like a real character. Glad they both landed softly. Fingers crossed that the gelding works out well as a schoolie.

orono

Fingers crossed for your new find!

orono

Nice to 'see' you here!!

orono

Oh I see!! Good luck with your talk, and post more pics when you can!

orono

That's so sad, what a loss. I can't think of anything but will definitely keep my eyes and ears open.

orono

Your mare is so pretty!! What a terrific accomplishment!! I know you said money is a factor, but I strongly suggest that you're able to walk, trot & canter before you take her on by yourself. You've spent so much time and money to get her to this place in her training, you want to make sure that...

orono

This sounds like a terrific plan, hopefully it works well for her/you. Looking forward to updates.

orono

Where would you trailer to? Is that barn close enough to be an option?

orono

I think this was a double post, iirc it was plenty sweet without the corn syrup.

orono

That's a terrific solution, looking forward to updates!

orono

I missed the part about your kids already riding at the other barn, that would be the tipping point for me. I do get that there are good things about your current barn (even if some of the rules seem over the top). You could always give it a trial period (say 3 months?) and see how you feel afterwar...

orono

What a spectacular wedding, sorry about the crustaceans, glad it wan't a more severe reaction.
