Your health is top priority - maintain healthy life habits and use sun screen. Get as much education as you can. Save money for future or emergency fund. Be kind to yourself and others. Respect yourself. Follow your gut about interactions with others. Get out if a situation if it feels wrong. Negati...

I lost my dear Chippy cat in 2013. He and Ricky were best buddies and would groom each other and sleep together. This is who Ricky is looking at in the bottom photo. I think Ricky missed Chippy and seemed to slow fade the past 2 years. I hope they are together again grooming each other. :cry: http:/...

Josette

Thanks MC - my guy has turned into a real little ham. He loves attention and we have finally turned the corner with our trust and bonding issues. The picture does enlarge when you click on it but I could only figure out how to add a link versus embed the photo. He is a robust 14.2 hands and I'm 5'2&...

Thank you!!

Josette

Thank you. I really miss him - especially when you have a daily routine together. Sweet Ricky was a long hair gray tiger with white bib and paws. I'm trying to figure out how to post some older pics from the Photo Bucket website with this Chromebook.

Josette

I have some older photos in PhotoBucket site - how would I post them?

Josette

I had to let go of my dear sweet Ricky cat for advanced health issues. I rescued him as a small kitten left at dumpster behind a diner. He was near starving and quite ill but was nursed back to become a lovely house cat. He had the loudest purr and would sit right next to me watching TV. I would hav...

Josette

westisbest - thanks for posting that article. I really enjoyed it. Lovely stories of older horses still active in riding. I'm the 6th owner of my pony who appears to have been passed around as unsuitable for young/child riders. Huge fear and trust issues initially which we have been working on - plu...

Josette

If anyone knows how to do this from a ChromeBook - please post steps too. These are all GOOGLE apps and I'm an old Windows gal.

Josette

demi - we've been watching TX get slammed with these heavy rains. NJ will get a mild heat wave this week as temperatures touch 70 again. I expect it will be the end of any more warm spells for this year. I gave my little goat (I mean pony) a minor shave on his chest and neck front. He starts to look...

Josette

Ditto! Beautiful pony and lucky rider!

If you are comfortable and approve of the riding level/ skills of this rider then it sounds like a win-win situation to me.

http://bridlepath.org/files/Horse-Safety-Brochure.pdf MC - unbelievable but sadly not surprising IMO. The only one who benefits here are the lawyers after someone is hurt or killed. None of the safety laws are enforced. A few years back a law was passed that vehicles had to reduce speed to 25 mph wh...

Josette

Great pictures! The little piggy is so precious!

Josette

I miss trail riding the most. I previously mentioned the local parks here are over run by bikers - even on the hard top walking a dog you have to take care not to get hit by a speeding road biker. They give you no warning racing up behind you to pass and the park rangers do nothing although several ...

Josette

I read a story about the Iditarod Dog Races in Alaska. Moose are extremely dangerous to dog sledders and will charge into the dog pack killing sled dogs.

Mountaineer - do you mind if I ask what state you are in - or Canada? I'll use caution if I ever hike in your parks!

Josette

Darn I lost my reply. MC - you are totally right about the harsh winters and the need for a heated indoor. A necessary requirement. It is frustrating the strings attached to take lessons in these barns when you are rehabbing an injured horse. The hay situation is maddening - sounds like poor managem...

Josette

I have to agree that running out of hay is unacceptable - especially for what you are paying. How critical is it to continue working with a trainer during this rehab period? Is it feasible to find a smaller barn at less cost for a stall, say a smaller indoor with safe turnout arrangement? Like even ...

Glad to hear your update. Ditto - take your recovery one day at a time and enjoy those ponies!!

I'm loving these stories and photos - so happy that I recognize so many of the user names here again. I'm still trying to figure out how to display photos from my Chromebook. Don't hold your breath but maybe I can figure it out soon.... I've re-sized but continue to see error that file is too large ...

Josette

Congratulations!! This is exciting for you all and looking forward to the pics!

Josette

Dummy here who cannot figure out how to post a photo. Can someone me point to a link with the instructions? I downloaded some photos from cell phone to my Chromebook and then loaded some software to re-size it. I still get error that file is too large when I attempt to append it. :roll: Windows soft...

MC - that is a heart breaker. What a beautiful mare and so sorry you lost her so young. I've ridden recently a few times in the dark but try to avoid because the deer are wandering around. I remember when I boarded coming back from a trail ride in the dark (woods) and our horses were so sure footed....

Josette

What a lovely mare and I'm sorry for loss. Very glad she lived her later years well loved and cared for by you and her owner.

Josette

MC - beautiful pics of your guy! He looks quite large too after being around my short guy. Demi - I may be under 60 but some days my body says the opposite. Like many here I've had my share of serious health issues - plus add Lyme disease this past summer. A person comes away recovering with left ov...

Josette

I did ride 3 days in a row and then it was bitter cold past 2 days - so I didn't ride. I also focus on suppling and connection with some fun cantering. Next few days will be a crazy heat wave. Now my riding will be dependent upon the weather. Once the ground freezes solid that will be the end until ...

This mare has a wild soul. You invested the time and money trying to rehab her - nothing more can be done. It sounds like she is in a good place now.

Josette

Pictures can be deceiving for size reference. Westisbest - after you described your height and your horse, if I stood next to you my head just might be hair above your knee. I have to get a picture my DH took this summer after pony got a bath. I'm standing next to him 14.2 hd and I still look short ...

Josette

This sounds like a grand plan for you! Hope it all works out before the snows come.

A horse named Tucker is the best! My first lesson horse in 1968 was named Tucker! Enjoy your guy - he sounds like one smart sane horse!!

Josette

When I ordered my saddle from Hennig per my pony's measurements - wide shoulders, I was advised NOT to use point billets as they would block his shoulder movement. In addition, I was advised to get a straighter cut back flap to again allow for his shoulder movement. It works well for me too being a ...

musical comedy - my house work is what suffers as work and then barn chores take priority. Yup - I have a 'man child' too. LOL!

Josette

westisbest - I totally understand and been there too. I got this little rescue dog only 2 weeks after I lost my heart horse and my dear cat from lymphoma. I was very depressed and needed to do something about it. Last week, I visited a lovely zoo which needed donations to refurbish their wild cat ex...

Josette

westisbest - when my old dog became unable to do our daily walks I finally gave in and got another - small chihuahua/terrier mix about 14#. He is HIGH energy and demands his daily walk per his doggie watch set to every morning. So he has kept my motivation up to keep moving daily. musical comedy - s...

I would be thrilled to be read and reference posts from UDBB training forums. Again, there is miles of experienced advanced riders and trainers who posted. They shared their knowledge and it is very helpful to reference for ammy riders. Many :idea: moments occurred because someone explained a situat...
