I can't see the pics either, but the trip sounds fabulous!

orono

I have bought a few horses that I leased first, did not PPE. Have only done so for horses I as meeting for the first time. Never bad to have a vet check though, even as a formality. Congrats & enjoy your trip!

orono

That's great!! Not to be nosy but why is it a month away? When i decide to buy I can't get the PPE done quickly enough!

orono

I would also move her along. She won't be suitable for DD, and iirc you have lots of lovely mounts of your own. She is a really cute mare, I'm sure she'll make someone very happy.

orono

She does appear quite tense and rushed in the video, how many times has she actually bolted?

orono

I would guess birch but I'm not sure. Nice style lines.

orono

I couldn't find your rides with the link posted, but maybe I'm looking in the wrong place..

orono

I'm so happy for you! I remember when you got your beautiful grey girl, but don't recall having difficulty with her ( i haven't been on the board very much lately). Wonderful that you were able to work through problems and get to the other side.

orono

What a great article!! You both look terrific!

orono

Glad she has found a great home, good luck with your search! Do you have any other riding horses at the moment?

orono

I'm sorry to hear this, she looks great in all of the pictures you posted. Reading back to your previous posts it seems like the only days she acted up were her first ride at her new home, and the day of the cell phone incident? It also seems like your niece was the driving force behind this placeme...

This style of piaffe is often seen in horses who have it taught and/or reinforced from the ground. The hitch on the left indicates it is probably done with the handler on the left side, likely at the shoulder tapping the horse on the croup. Zonik is a dramatic mover, and we've seen in the past that ...

orono

I would guess that horses on grass, who move around slowly as they graze, are more likely to switch shoulders as compared to those who are fed in piles of hay and basically stay parked.

orono

I'm new to the thread, love the early pics you posted. Sorry you had a recent scare, hopefully you both rebuild confidence quickly.

orono

What a lovely mare, congrats!!

orono

I LOVE PEBBLES!!!

orono

No problemo! It'll be great. You can dust with icing sugar for presentation and to make up for a bit of the sweetness.

orono

Totally sounds like a scam. I wouldn't consider travelling to see a horse without video footage, and zero appts without a 1/3 fee? Beyond unreasonable!

orono

Nope, maybe a minimal holding fee (100-200) but not 1/3 of the price.

orono

Love it! Ferdinand was my favourite book too, a copy still sits on my nightstand. There is an animated movie of Ferdinand coming out this Dec, I can hardly wait!

orono

I've made these countless times and they are outrageously good. Crispy outside, chewy inside, perfect crackle on top (which isn't apparent in all of the user pics).

This is really cute...

Fabulous pics, welcome back!!

orono

You're much to hard on yourself!! Lots of progress, you both look great!

orono

I have heard that as long as the pee looks good and comes out in a nice stream then it's just a preference thing. But wouldn't hurt to have it checked out.

orono

Jingles!!!

orono

I am not a trimming expert, and to be honest I've had more trouble with farriers who trim too aggressively and prefer those who do a little less. But the most important thing to me is how they move, how they walk on rough footing etc..

orono

Bumping..when do these pretty girls arrive?

orono

Love how slowly and correctly they are starting her. She looks great.

orono

I would go with names from Shakespeare...Juliet & Emilia

orono

Not at all, I use a 3" metal ring commonly used for dream catchers. Then I use either 24 or 26 gauge wire, cut into about 8 inch lengths. I bend them in 1/2 and then twist them around the bottom to make the roots (about 2-3 twists per strand). Then I try to spread the roots out a bit, and twist...

orono

OMG I'm going to die of laughter.

I thought maybe they could be altered to something more pleasant. But nothing is springing to mind.

orono

What are their current names?

orono

I made one of these when my old guy crossed the bridge recently. Have made a few for friends too. https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/a3/48/3c/a3483c877c914dd9aae2bc21f6c971d9.jpg As memorials I try to incorporate the colour of the horse and of their tack accessories. I also make them to have ...

orono

I would put her out with a buddy right away. Too risky to have her keep at this behaviour.

orono

Wise words Tabby.

orono

Agree, I wouldn't worry about it. Hopefully your time with SO can be just that, and not involve his family - regardless of physical proximity.

orono

Oh ok. Are you at his place often?

orono

Stunning mares, congratulations!

orono

Just to recap, you hadn't met the older sister until the wedding, where she was a total b*tch. But now she lives down the road from your SO? Do you & SO live together?

orono

So glad you have a property, a great job and some horses!! Would love to hear more about them when you can.

orono

She is absolutely adorable. I'm so sorry you couldn't keep her. But glad she has a cushy indoor home.

orono

I'm so sorry Linden. I hope you have a good support system nearby. Sounds like a horrible year. Hugs.

orono

How old is he now? Looks like a nice horse, he deserves a better nickname!!

orono

I have a newer pair of field boots, they have been holding up very well. I was an ariat wearer for years but my last few pairs had quality issues. Love how they fit, look & wear. A friend has the Sovereign boot in black, and they're beautiful in person.

orono

Splitting the trip isn't a bad idea, but I would consider flying in and out of Victoria, and making the drive - maybe in the middle of your trip so that you aren't as worried about getting back for the flight. Driving on the Island is part of the joy of visiting it, and is more relaxing than rushed....

orono

That's wonderful! Sorry, I didn't realize this was an old thread, somehow it came up in my list of recent ones.

orono

weak strings teach a horse to break free, they do not teach a horse to stand. think about it That's what I used to think too, so I tied my last horse solid because I didn't want her to learn that she could get away. Trouble was, twenty-some years later she was still pulling back whenever anything s...

orono

That sounds perfect! Enjoy!!

Do you have accom for Victoria? Totally worth staying as close to the inner harbour as possible.

orono

Always shavings (though not deep), legs usually bare.
