I can always get the self- check scanners at the supermarket to work on the first try.

Mine is Flat Tire Farm, for, well, obvious reasons.

Josette he does look like a nice boy. Listed as a KWPN but his sire Whiskei is a Dutch harness horse, and the dam? Her name is Downylands Daisy - I wonder what she is. I wonder how they do in eventing? No performance record to be seen for sire or dam. Seller is in Scottdale AZ but her 13 "KWPN...

Glad you got it!

There's a horse I fancy in Florida, between Jacksonville and Tallahassee. Anyone wanna go have a peek at her before I fly clear across the country and waste money? :mrgreen: :roll: :? 8-) A couple of UDBBrs are in Jacksonville. I am sure either would be up for an adventure. Why don't you message me...

Hey Ponichiwa yes - that one got sold right quick! I'm 2nd in line...gah. In other news I booked flights to Portland/Seattle for a weekend in 2 weeks. I'm going alone what with one thing and another, and seeing 4 horses. Obviously there are things I really like about each, but I am not feeling hope...

redsoxluvr

Glad your horse is better!

Has anyone gotten their match? Am wondering why I haven't received anything.

Still in the throes of divorce, so we skipped Thanksgiving, We went to my favorite little mom and pop Korean place and had wonderful bibimbap with tofu. It was fabulous.

Given that you have significant arthritic changes in your back, I think you need to ride in a saddle a few times to see if it hurts your back. One ride or to is not going to tell you what you need to know. I have some significant remodeling in my thoracic area and some saddles absolutely kill my bac...

I have thought many times about putting up a game camera, but never have because I probably don't WANT to know what prowls around my barnyard.

I had a horse bolt with me and the ensuing melee tore my rotator cuff. I did the typical nsaid/PT route with little improvement. A husband and wife team of doctors happened to board at my barn. The wife is a DO, the husband is a NMD. They swore up and down for months that the acupuncture would help ...

Yes, and promptly lost the next day to Houston. Story of my life!

I hose during the summer, and if I am suddenly overrun with free time I may use soap on them once or twice per summer and deep condition the tail at the same time. Otherwise, they get curried and brushed when they get worked. That's it.

Snork I would like the caramel set. I'll PM you.

Thank you, Chisamba. It freaking sucks.

Yes. Ten thousand times, yes.

Yes, I would only take a Friesian if it were perfectly behaved, perfectly sound and free.

Well, as I am going through a miserable divorce, I could use some cheering up. Count me in!

Sweet face!

Oh man, you dodged a bullet on that name! Too many QHs had the legacy of someone's terrific idea to name a horse Bugs Alive in '75. Who became a very prolific stallion. Creating decades of Bug This That or Something. There's an easily traced lineage for you but .... ugh. Indeed, like Spooks Whiz on...

If you want to earn AQHA points in dressage, you have to use his AQHA name. Otherwise, call him whatever suits you.

Signed,

Redsoxluvr, whose AQHA gelding Late Night Escape shall be known as Leonardo di Ponio in Dressage-Land.
It suits him!

Here the standard personal injury guideline is 3x the amount of medical bills, or in your case 18K.

In a moment of madness, I signed up for the "Quick Draw" contest at the Utah State Fair tomorrow. (It's theoretically pretty straightforward, they let you into the fair first thing in the morning and you have until 3.30 to produce a piece of original framed artwork based on the activities...

FWIW I think you will get eliminated if you do full walk pirouettes as they are not found in any test at any level. You could avoid it by doing the half pirouette, clearly walk forward a few steps then do another one.

redsoxluvr

I'm in. I have to carve this weight off one way or another. I also need to be more realistic about keeping two horses in full work.
Sitting on my tush staring at my phone thinking about working horses does not equal working horses.

Scruffy, if you are thinking of getting something in Canada, you should check out the RCMP sale. My trainer emailed me their flier. They are selling <>40 horses, most of Hanoverian/Oldenburg descent of various ages. There are stringent requirements for markings and size for horses to be part of the ...

Nice filly! Best of luck with her.

Redsoxluvr- I'm worried Scot Tolman will laugh at me due to my low (only in the dressage world- to me it's a fortune!) budget. If you think he won't roll on the floor laughing if I called, I'll reach out. I do love the prices and a lot of the training coming out of the UK right now, but again, I'm ...

Thought of another, Woodlander Stud is downsizing ( Breeders of Woodlander Farouche) and she has some good horses for good prices as well.

redsoxluvr

Very sorry to hear of your horses' illness. Since you are in NE, I recommend reaching out to Scot Tolman at Shooting Star Farm. He has a good network of connections. I do know someone selling a lovely Royal Diamond mare that is 8yo, 16.3 with a change. She is showing medium which is the US equivalen...

Did she show? Or are you off googling Pete Ramey videos on trimming?

Finding a ViniciX used is about impossible, lots of Vinici regular tree. The person I sold my first ViniciX to when I bought mine with the custom roll/flap has it for sale. It's an 18" wide tree with serge panels in very nice condition. Just in case anyone is interested. Do you know if the sad...

How awful.

It's not really reasonable to expect a saddle to fit a more advanced horse if it fits the horse as a youngster. Horses change a LOT over time. I would buy good quality used, take good care of it, and re-sell it when you need something else. As far as the WOWs go, you love them or hate them. They're ...

Here's my saddle. As you can see, there is plenty of room for your knee to go where it's comfortable.

How do you deal with riding in the rain? What do you do to protect your tack? Or am I just being overprotective of my tack. I am quite careful about cleaning and taking my tack. And what do you ride in so you aren't slipping all over the saddle? I protect my saddle with my fat arse. No, seriously. ...

I have very long legs, in particular a long femur. I have external blocks on my saddle and absolutely love them. They have saved my bacon more times than I care to count. Mine are the short, high blocks. I have found that long legged riders don't do well with the long blocks as they tend to position...

Reach out to krazytbmare, she has experience with this and I am sure would help you.

We've received less than 1/4 of an inch of rain THIS YEAR.

What do you guys use for zipper treatment? I thought I had ordered some, but alas did not. I have never used it, but apparently it's recommended.

20K may be chump change to you, but I can get a decent, young-ish WB horse going solid 2nd level for that price. Ok, I challenge you to show me some. I look for something a little more than 'decent'. I always :roll: on the internet when posters say they can get nice horses cheap. I wonder why they ...

I don't know anything about plants, but thank you for not trimming your bushes into unnatural shapes! It looks very peaceful and natural.
