I have, I found they discolored quite a bit over time.

Tuddy

I am going to pick up a bottle of Exceed tomorrow as per my vet. Now Tuddy has the same green snot that Yonka has. Fun. Fun. Fun.

Tuddy

Sorry. I didn't mean to offend.

Tuddy

I read this this morning. Wow.

Tuddy

Yonka caught himself some boogers while he was at the trainers in March. It has been lingering. When the vet came out to do coggins tests, he looked at the discharge, listened to his lungs and pretty much said it was viral, and had to run its course. He did recommend 5 days of uniprim to see if the ...

Tuddy

Well, I had a weekend of lessons booked with Yonka and his trainer but a snotty nose and wood ticks are keeping us home. :( Yonka got himself a cold while at the trainers, and this weather is not helping it clear up. Vet was out yesterday to do Coggins bloodwork on both Yonka and Tuddy, and prescrib...

I've tried off and on for 10 years to put in "more miles" to no avail - and he's 14 now. I can relate, Tuddy will be 11 this year, and I got him as a started 3 year old. I honestly don't know what to do anymore with him. :( As for Yonka, who will be 7 here shortly, I thinking waiting on h...

Tuddy

When he started high-blowing and sucking waaaaaaay back behind the bit, I did a quick dismount and led him the rest of the way back, high-blowing, bouncing into me, spooking at every little noise (deer in the bushes), etc. It's like they just "check out", and those type of antics scare th...

Tuddy

Worked with Yonka on Sunday. After a whole month off to the day, he figured he should still be on holidays. I really can't blame him as he is used to the routine of only having to work when we leave the farm. When he is at home he thinks he is a pasture ornament. I could tell he was going to be a bi...

I made this for my co-workers today. They all told me it was fantastic. Slow Cooker Chili Ingredients: 1.5 to 2 lbs of lean ground beef 1/3 c of diced onion OR 1 tbsp of dehydrated onion flakes 3 stalks of celery diced 1 tbsp of dehydrated/freeze dried garlic 2 (16 oz) jars of Herdez Medium salsa (o...

Oooh! Can I start this one!? Now that my overtime at work is coming to an end, it's day light longer and perpetual winter seems to be over.... I can get back at it. Goals.... 1. Phone the vet/dentist - I need coggins, vaccines and teeth done. 2. Finish paying off new saddle and get back on Yonka. 3....

Tuddy

Thanks SF. I like the look of the Myler with a mild curve to it. I will probably try that one first to see how he responds. I'm not sure what IIRC means? ok- I just ordered it. I'll see how my little gorilla responds. :) I use a Myler Level 1 on my leaner. I am going to try it on Yonka as well as h...

Tuddy

how it going now? He's so funny. I love that pic Haha, yeah, he is quite the funny kid that one. Honestly, I brought home and he has been on spring break. I have had 2 days off from work since March 26th so he hasn't had any riding since I brought him home. He's been handled, for sure, but no ridin...

Tuddy

I also felt like he alluded to a lot of things, but then didn't explain them ..... .... who seemed to think he was the second coming of the messiah and that always irks me a little. Sounds like my lesson (which I walked out of) with Eddo Hoekstra, and the other participants thought I was a nut case...

Tuddy

Happy dance!

Tuddy

I have heavy hands and when I was riding Yonka just recently, I found he was "cheating my corners" as I called it. I would try to push him over to the rail with my hands instead of using my leg. I found my inside hand would cross over his mane and, obviously, it didn't work out well for me...

Tuddy

Dressage has been around for ages. It is a beautiful, majestic form of artwork when you see horse and rider working in harmony and creating lightness and flow. The journey there is one hell of a ride, this I think we can all agree on. "Classical texts and rules also say ride with heels lower, d...

Tuddy

Yes, he can be a little brat some days, but that is one of the reasons I love him :) I had put in my update that I was ordering a custom saddle.... well, I didn't need to. :) There is a boarder at the trainers who used to own a Canadian like my Yonka. Fitting these wide beasts can be quite the proce...

Tuddy

All off what Tsavo and heddylamar said. :) If you can, and if there is an opportunity in your area, see if you can find someone who does obstacle days. I did a couple with Yonka and it is so much fun. Going over bridges, through noodles, pushing barrels, etc. It makes them brave and they really need...

Tuddy

Those 2 months flew by pretty fast. But, I have a solid citizen with a working brain back home in my barn yard. :) He can walk and trot, somewhat canter, but we never asked for much as he was only starting to offer it the last couple weeks he was there. He has some lateral movement, leg yield and si...

Tuddy

That.is.gorgeous. (Since I am a cowgirl at heart, the turquoise really stands out to me.)

Tuddy

Had a lesson last week... hopefully you can open the link... it wasn't pretty but we are getting somewhere. :D https://www.instagram.com/p/BgSQxzbhQEX/ I tried to get his right lead, but it was too unbalanced and it was like trying to ride a tornado. We will leave that for another time when he is mo...

Tuddy

I used to use a vet for dental work, this past weekend, I had a dentist come out instead and wow, what a difference. I was very impressed.

Tuddy

Ecolicious products are great. I used them on myself too. But, as stated, before, quality hair growth comes from the inside, and you seem to know what you need to put in your horse's diet to help her mane and tail. Good Luck!

Tuddy

Thanks for the kind words everyone! Yes, I know, I should have had a helmet on. And I very, very rarely ride without one because of my accident, (I still say it is what saved me that day). But... someone else was wearing it. :) Maddie2.jpg Kid takes priority over mom. We never seem to ride at the sa...

Tuddy

On August 14, 2016, my big, beautiful heart horse taught me the biggest life lesson of all. Cost me some physical pain, and a lot of mental turmoil. I haven't been on that Tuddy horse of mine since that day. (If you are wondering what happened, just go one page back and the story is there). The past...

Tuddy

Hey everyone! Not much of an update for you, but we have been riding. AND.ITS.BEEN.GREAT! His month of training is up on March 6, but I decided to invest in another month. He is just starting to grasp the idea of work, and I just want to continue to build on it. Now that he is getting more fit thoug...

Tuddy

In my experience, do everything that you possibly can afford to do. Doesn't matter if it is a baby or a mature horse. It is money well spent and a potential money saver down the road.

Tuddy

Having found the right trainer has done wonders for my motivation. I feel that I can actually get through the winter with progress. I have been working out at home 5 times a week since January 1. I can feel the difference in my strength and noticed the other day that I can now dismount properly ins...

Tuddy

Oh hello! :) Well, my little monkey has had a week at the trainer's and was eased into it. The trainer also hosted a Horsemanship Clinic so Yonka and I joined the adventure. We had a great time. Yonka is starting to figure what his job is. He was a litte sassy at times, and did give me one little bu...

Tuddy

Got my little guy to the trainer on Sunday. Spoke with the trainer and told him our back ground and now we wait and see how it goes from there. Trainer is hosting a horsemanship clinic Saturday and Sunday and I am hoping to be a part of it. I'll find out Thursday. The highs for the weekend (temperat...

Gulp... Time to start a new thread. It's been a while. Last time I put a horse into training, I got bucked off, hard, but I ended up landing in a big dose of reality. I haven't done much riding at all since that day, but the riding I have done was on my little #blondebastard, Yonka. He is a register...

With the new post I have reread part of the thread. I wonder why there is so much focus about the bucking strap, when there is a TON of equipment various disciplines use on their horses that can could arguably cause pain or discomfort, and are generally worn for much longer periods of time. I've be...

This is absolutely amazing. I have eaten so much popcorn, I have a stomach ache.

I have a 2004 Dodge 2500. Cummins engine. You will never beat a Cummins.

I have been in a 2017 Chev Silverado with the Dirtymax, er, Duramax diesel, and if I could take that cab and put it over a Cummins engine, my life would be complete.

Also, calling something "woo woo" is sort of inflammatory isn't it? Call it alternative. Call it Eastern Medicine. Agree... just because you might think it is airey fairy, that doesn't mean you can't respect it for what it is. You may not agree with it, but name-calling it shows lack of c...

Wasn't there a study that found that ninety percent of warm blood foals had coffin bone fracture. This means that they start out with an unsoundness before they are even ridden. I think the study found sixty fractures in twenty foals. Young horses are just not supposed to. Move extravagantly. Gosh,...

Tuddy

Goals for me.... I always have good intentions, but never seem to be able to follow through. The past couple of weeks have been so cold that all I do is chores, chores, chores. It was -45 to -48 °C with the wind chill there for a bit, and this nice break, and by break I mean -23°C with the wind chil...

Tuddy

It's -25C again here today, and tomorrow will be as cold or colder (that's not factoring in windchill). I moved Jet and my daughter's pony to an indoor a month ago and we've only been able to ride ONCE. I cannot justify paying board and not riding, and now I have other issues arising (non-horse rel...

This weather app is making this cold snap bearable. Once you open it, it has the weather forecast, and also a description of the weather outside. It's -32°F with the wind chill at the moment, and the description I got when I opened the app read, "It's colder than a witch's tit in a steel bra.&q...

Teddy, I cannot image 41 below zero! Where in Canada are you? I am just 20 miles north east of Regina, Saskatchewan. Southern part of the province. It is currently -21°F with a wind chill of -39°F.

Merry Christmas! It was a cold one here, and still is! We are in a deep freeze for the next few days with highs of -11°F with a wind chill to make it fee like -31°F. Friday, they are forecasting a high of -18°F with a wind chill of -38°F. The low for Friday night is forecasted to be -35°F (without t...

Well, I came in over the weekend, changed his water and he was kinda perky on Christmas Eve. I stayed home Christmas and yesterday though. Came to work today.... no fishy. RIP #gtff
