Re: What is your opinion about this?

Yikes, i'm a cart abandoner! I should check for wayward items! I always go up and down the aisles in the same order, if I realize I forgot something I will often pull over, 'park' and run back to get the single item vs doing a U turn and taking the cart back and forth.... It's not as if we roll up ...

Re: What is your opinion about this?

Maybe she parked where she did because it was the only place that would not be destroying grass?
Why does she have to drive there, ie to the paddock/pasture, to begin with though? Curious.
But there are bigger fish to fry than this.

Re: Boarding question

Orono, I think OP noted the recent increase because Wheresmywhite wrote 'Maybe BO hadn't made up their mind? Maybe BO has raised board in over 5 years?'. OP I think any well run business should know what and when their board will increase and inform boarders of that as well in advance as they can, w...

Re: Lost my best horse..horse hair jewelry?

I have hair from Yo and Melly that I have been trying to figure out what to do with, the bracelets and things just aren't something I would likely care for well, and therefore would never wear them. Recently saw these and think I will get 2 to fill with each of their hair, they have a rubber ring so...

Re: Free Feeding with slow feeders

I've had good luck with the Nibblenets. I've been using them for several years now with Bermuda grass hay. Although the Warmblood and thoroughbred are pretty slow eating when using them, with several years experience, the quarterhorses have gotten faster/better at eating out of them. It takes the q...

Re: Back to dressage

Somewhere I have a cute lil cob size Dressage bridle with flash... I think it has rubber reins... but it was/is also cheap.
I can look for it if you are interested.

Otherwise congrats on your re-entry into the adventure of Dressage!

There's something really special about a horse who adopts you as their person. Melly came to see me that...

Re: Would you compare yourself to a dressage master?

Thing is, most people who have any sense know that the greats don't toot their own horns, and usually you need some sense of humility to get places in life.

It's an interesting thing to think about, from the npd on one end and something like imposter syndrome on the other.
