I have a Fitbit Charge HR. I really like it. I did not find the Alta to be even remotely accurate.

Congratulations! My bestie lives in a Sears house - it's nearly 100 years old.

redsoxluvr

Well done!

redsoxluvr

Hope you feel better!

redsoxluvr

So very sorry for your loss. Hugs to you.

It was 110 this week. No winter in sight.

Hope everything is OK. My sister is in San Antonio and is ready for the worst.

After using Lemieux pads I won't use anything else. They are by far the best ones on the market.

Helen used to have a drive(ride) through margarita stand near her house. I recall a few pics of her in the drive through.

Hope you feel better!

If you need help moderating, I would be happy to help. Just let me know.

I find both Prudent's and the rebuttal loathsome and here's why. Both are the responses of people who do not live in the real world. Spending $2500 a few times to show per year is simply not feasible for most riders. We spend $400 three or four times a year and that's a huge expense. I don't know wh...

I cannot sleep in a Tempurpedic. I have some horse related arthritis and after one night's sleep in a Tempurpedic I could barely stand. They were also very hot with no support - kind of like sleeping in a really hot wheelbarrow. OTOH I did try a Sleep Number and that thing was * awesome*. Very stabl...

redsoxluvr

Yes, half pad is still available. PM if you want it.

I would be looking for a new place for my horse. That (lack of) response is not sufficient quality of care for me.

I have ridden with a broken ring finger, and TBH it's not safe. I compromised by putting the rein between my middle and ring fingers, but I had significant loss of sensitivity and it is very, very hard to hold the reins safely. You just can't close your hand properly. My mare at the time was a very ...

Sorry for your loss.

redsoxluvr

May your years together be many and joyful. Congratulations.

I hear ya! I love my vet, but it is harder and harder to get her. Hers is a teaching clinic, so she and the partners no longer do emergency calls. If you have an emergency, the interns come out which I really struggle with! I know they are through school, but if I have an emergency that requires a v...

Sorry about your dog. Hugs to you.

Snork, there are tons of tack armoire plans online - you could easily build one without trying to upcycle.

My vet has had some exceptionally good results with the acupuncture. Have you tried feeding beer?
That's been recommended to me but I haven't done it.
Apparently a stout type is best.
If you want my vet's info, so she can consult with yours just PM me. Good luck with your girl.

My late gelding had anhydrosis. We found that starting him on One AC about 6 weeks before it got hot really helped. My vet also found a couple of acupuncture points that helped stimulate sweating. Really, constant vigilance is the only way to get through it. Keep the horse inside under fans, feed el...

redsoxluvr

very nice!

redsoxluvr

I would not be at a barn that is that restrictive.
I definitely want to be able to haul my horse when I want.
Yes, it's closer, which is great but anyone who micromanages their boarders
to that degree is someone who would get on my last nerve very quickly.

redsoxluvr

hang in there!!!

redsoxluvr

Glad you are feeling better!

redsoxluvr

Truthfully, at this stage I would not even do a PPE. You have had her for more than 6 months, you know if she is lame or not.
At this stage, if she was going lame she would be lame. Save the money and enjoy your time together.

The trick to getting rid of brush that you don't want is to put a small amount of fertilizer into your weed abatement treatment. We had 20' tall oleanders on our place when we moved in. On top of being highly toxic, they are very hard to kill. You have to treat first, before trimming and give the tr...

Horse keeping in AZ is far different from anywhere else. Irrigated land is at a premium, but it can be found. Most horse properties are an acre or so at best. A 5 acre place in civilization is easily a million dollars or more. Of course, outlying areas are less expensive but the commute can be bruta...

i would definitely get a second opinion. I had a second, and later a third opinion on my Deuxdle after his injury. The second opinion was about a week after his injury, and the third was probably 6-9 months later. Both looked at his records first. I took the xrays and ultra sounds in to the second o...

We have had Flat Tire Farm for seven years at this location and four at the previous one. The work is never ending but I don't regret it. The only thing I do regret is not getting all the work done before we moved horses in. We had to rush to get the horses settled and as such did not have time to d...

Try reaching out to your cooperative extension. Your tax dollars pay for them, and their help is free.
I know I have had good luck with mine, as have a few friends. Some will do soil testing which will
tell you exactly what you need.

I have a couple of leadropes that I got from EmmaB in one of our many Kringle exchanges. emmalou1 has given me some invaluable advice for my rescue doggies. I have an ungodly amount of tack that I have bought from UDBBers - mostly KrazyTBMare and BeauChevalRouge. I have a painting of my lovely Deuxd...

Redsox, Austin and its 'burbs might be the only place in this part of the state where you could make a living wage, but I doubt you'd recognize that area now. Same fate as San Antonio: rampant expansion and development by companies who don't live in the area. Although S.A. has been implementing som...

Mostly just vet wrap and dressings and bandages/fillers, scissors, tape/elastoplast, thermometer, white cream stuff (great for small cuts), betadine, tuff rock poultice. I have syringes and some cannulas etc but when something happens I can grab stuff from work. Interesting the hose pipe redsoxiuvr...

Texas is the best place to live, period, IMHO ;) I am biased. Lots of horse property up around Dallas/Ft.Worth, but lots of people, too. Near College Station (home of Texas A&M University!) there are open properties, ample rain (mostly), grass, etc. I'm in central TX, no snow to worry about exc...

A pee update - doing fine, still won't drop to pee. I guess he is one of the "shy pee-ers".

redsoxluvr

If you want it, it is yours. Sorry, am not here much and don't have any PMs.

Great job! Pretty mare.

An update on the pee issue. Vet came and horse was absolutely resistant to having her anywhere near the family jewels. She did confirm that he does have a fully functioning penis and after he was resoundingly sedated she found a bean about the size of a walnut. She removed it, but it doesn't seem to...

Congratulations on your new kitteh!

Imperini, I'm sure you've figured this out, but you can adjust how "easily" the lead slides in the blocker ties by how you thread it. For people who insist that an adult horse with tying issues "get over it" and just get tied hard to a "patience post", I say, you obvio...

redsoxluvr

Me too! She is coming in half an hour, so I guess I will have her sedate him and have a look at it. He is very much disinclined for me to clean it, so this will in all likelihood be the only way to find out.

redsoxluvr

I have it advertised in the for sale section, will PM you.

redsoxluvr

My latest project horse is a 9 YO gelding with one bizarre issue. He never drops, ever. Not to pee, not when he is relaxed, never. After an ill advised attempt to reach into his sheath to see if he had a bean, I can attest to the fact that he does in fact have a penis. (At this point I seriously que...

JIngles for a good path report!

I have one, it is a Fleeceworks. It has a roll around the wither but not around the cantle. Pm if interested.
