I'm in the process of selling a horse trailer, it's an older model, but sound. I'm wondering if I should accept a personal check or ask for cash? It's not a big ticket item, but is several thousand dollars. Would you be willing to show up with the bills? Or is that an unfair request? It's been so lo...

I'm in the separating personal and professional relationship camp - and relative to personal, it would depend on the nature.

And does sign up = a check? The point being, if I've already "supported" them financially, it doesn't really matter whether I'm there holding my nose or not.

Hats off to you for getting through to the other side of the tunnel and using the experience to learn something positive. That says a lot about you!

I do not mean to take away from this family's tragedy in any way, but is this feeding on some sort of primal fear? It's a rare occurrence. The family car and lack of proper restraint is much more likely to kill a child (or that child's parents, for that matter). http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/na...

Gators can be soooo freaking fast!! Not for much of a distance, but quick enough to get you. They are just about the only animal that creeps me out. And I can't think of another one right now. :o :o :o My husband's SIL is a paleontologist that specializes in dinosaur eggs/nesting. They spent one wi...

I have used this recipe many years ago, it was excellent. Thanks for the reminder.

I noticed in the reviews that one cut sugar in half, another used peaches.

Ditto Tsavo. Op, another thought. You weren't there when he lunged and blocked the horse, right? I am wondering if once he blocked the lame foot if the other foot showed up a little gimpy. That happens a lot. Both feet are sore in the heel, but one more than the other and the lesser sore hoof only ...

Let me know if it doesn't work. I went climbing in Equador in the late 80's and sent a friend a postcard. Now he is DH :mrgreen: and I've seen that postcard somewhere, could probably find it.

perhaps they should work on selectively breeding animals which don't require drugs to keep them "quiet" and "crowd pleasing" in captivity. The goal is not breeding quiet or crowd pleasing animals. The goal is the sustainability of the species. Breeding is based on genetic preser...

True that we don't have context, and what he may have actually meant was something along the lines of, "Don't let him stretch yet, because he's very close to getting it and I'd like to see a better connection for a bit longer before you give him a break". Although his other comments don't...

I particularly hate the blog that had been going around glorifying dying on course and comparing it to dying if cancer.

So sorry to hear the news, Suzon, nurturing really deepens our ties to a creature - What a wonderful picture, so happy looking out to the world, a far cry from the starving piggy under a bag - A happy fate to have her last year a healthy, happy, and loved piggy with many piggy and human friends.

Koolkat

My first impression of her was that she was just a tiny bit hurried/tight in the back, it resolved after you changed directions, her back opened a little more and the hind legs swung through more - I thought you stopped at exactly the right moment. Just a little stutter on the downward, no big deal....

It is my understanding that ~5 pounds is the horse's stomach capacity and you will be "spilling" undigested feed in to a horse's intestine if you overfeed. This is not good for gut bacteria equilibrium and can cause problems.

BTW, "letting go" for most of us is no small matter----we have been "holding ourselves up" for years! Some of this perspective comes from my years as a yogi (teacher and practitioner). Many of us are "propped" in an upright position, but have not yet figured out how to...

Mom looks quite content to have you hold her and look at baby, I think you've made a LOT of progress.

Congratulations on all of it!

You know, the idea of Trump presiding over America is a bit perturbing, but the idea of Cruz is flat out scary. I do not get how people seem to think that Cruz is a better candidate than Trump?

I don't use the product you are referring to, but I do use their products and like them. KER's founder, Joe Pagan, is pretty widely acknowledged as one of the country's leading equine nutritionists. And apparently, he's a pretty good businessman, too. . .

I have a top loader Speed Queen. I didn't get the basic (wanted a few more wash/rinse options), but it's still pretty basic. No bells and whistles, nothing sexy, just an old fashion washing machine.

Look at his sweet face, so attentive and full of character - you raised a beautiful animal. Condolences to you. I'm so glad you were able to bring him home, that means a lot.

I have a Speed Queen (thanks to UDBB advise) that we've had for 2 years with no problems. It's pretty basic, but all I care about is clean clothes.

Rockabilly's Lemon Butter Chicken from previous page with asparagus/lemon, a bit of fettuccine/parm, and chardonnay. It was splendid! Highly recommended.

Here's a flow chart for treating upward fixation of the patella (or locking stifle), although this is a little different from what I hear you asking about, the intent here is to tighten the ligament that is allowing the patella to slip out of its groove: http://www.atlantaequine.com/pages/client_lib...

Thanks for reminding me about this, I heard a story about it on the radio and it sounded well done.

Isn't it loosely related to some previous movies (I haven't seen) that the director had done? - seemed to have a "cult" following.

She's absolutely lovely, what a typey head and beautiful neck. I think you have brought good karma down upon yourself!

How do you feel about this apparatus? We're going to redo the bathroom off the master bedroom and I'm contemplating getting rid of the Jacuzzi in there and replacing it with a large "open" (there would be some glass walls) shower. It would have a seat in it so would have an "age in pl...

This seems like a good place to put this! Just heard there is a documentary in the works about reining/cutting horses, a lot of Doug Williamson footage - it's fairly early stages, but it sounds like it's well done. Hope it makes the final cut.

He's on his way back to Taylor Made for another 30 days R&R.

I read that Zenyatta was hand grazed for multiple hours/day, don't know how common that is. A lot of dressage horses don't get that. . . .

Koolkat

As a rider, the picture is terrifying, but one thing I do like about the picture is how much more of the horse's front end you can see and appreciate the physical beauty of this animal in motion. He's magnificent! A nice tribute to his "family" after his Derby victory: https://www.youtube....

How much do you pay for your haircut? I have a very simple bob that costs $80. . . . although she IS very good at it. I also get a hand massage from the elf that hangs around, so I assume my skinflint $5 tip goes to help them.
