And to think that I was freaking out on Sunday watching my 8-year old rock-climb 5.11 (no idea what that means, but she seemed to be really proud of it). She made it to the top, I didn't throw up and it only lasted a few minutes. Clearly you've raised a pretty amazing human being but I can't even be...

Snork

Nice mare! Looks like you'll have a ton of fun with her, happy riding!

I thought of you yesterday as I was pulling on the boots I bought from you to go try out a half lease on another redhead. The horse was lovely so maybe it's a redhead season around here

Snork

Congratulations! He looks wonderful, and so do you.

scruffy he is cute but dang he is so out of balance no wonder he is worried! No way no how is he worth $10,000 or IMO anything close to that. Sigh I love the color I love the cross, he could be very nice. He needs someone who understands training not just getting the horse "round". He is ...

Snork

I've had and ridden good geldings and I've had and ridden good mares. Because so much of my interaction with the horses in my life is on the ground, I prefer mares because they just seem more interested in people. They let you know where you stand, and if you find one you bond with (which can take t...

Snork

I really like him Ponichiwa. You did good!

Snork

He looks lovely. Does he seem to enjoy being a pet or does he have more of the "lets get this job done and then let me go back to my own business" type of mentality some stock horses can have?

Snork

The slight of not including us in the 'friends' (judging from the lack of picture floods) hasn't gone unnoticed

Snork

One more voice into the josette/bip/musical comedy chorus. The good ones go quickly.

Which makes it even more important to really know what you want. For example, IF you are considering an Iberian horse, make sure you actually get along with that particular type of temperament.

Snork

I love the palomino. In theory. If you feel like actually working hard and going places, she seems awesome. All the pieces are there and she's undeniably gorgeous, but they're just pieces and it will take time and effort to put them together. Your mileage might vary but, personally, through repeat e...

Snork

He's gorgeous ponichiwa. My favorite color in the whole wide world, and such a beautiful face. I'm jealous!

Snork

I am so very sorry about Farley, scruffy.

I have no leads but I will keep my fingers crossed for you, today and on Saturday.

. . . Bascar probably knows them.

Bascar knows the mare for sure. She (the mare, not bascar) has been for sale for years.

Snork

She is absolutely beautiful. If I'm correct, she has a full sister a year younger competing at PSG, same owners, doesn't she?

Nice breeding and lovely training on this mare. Congratulations!!!

Snork

Ponichiwa, Smoke Tree Dragon Tail is only 12.2. I definitely second asking for an official measurement.

Snork

Kathy, I sent you a PM with contact details if you'd like to get in touch - they have a 10 year old coming this weekend to Chicago area that fits your list. I don't know much more than that except that he's very pretty, competed well in Europe at M level (3rd/4th) and expected to pass vetting. https...

Snork

I have a friend with several sales horses, some in Europe and some already here. She might have something suitable, let me check.

This is her FB business page: https://www.facebook.com/sportwarmbloods

Snork

She is precious. And HUGE!

Snork

Depending on how you define "decent brain" I'm sure you can get what you want relatively easily in a baby if you look at the Spanish horses. Palomino is not common as dirt but accessible enough in those breeds. If I remember correctly, a horse that is a bit hot isn't an inherent problem fo...

I think this is an individual decision. For me, phone insurance is always worth it, but I'm exceptionally careless with my phones. Square Trade replaced 3 Samsung Galaxies for me within a year before I smartened up and switched back to the iPhone. So far it's about a replacement a year for me, which...

Kiwi looks super cute in her new bridle. When did Jerry's close the shop? Waaah!

Snork

I got Casper for both of my girls. Excellent return policy and so far they like it. They're both fussy sleepers and use every excuse to show up in my bed but they've been staying put in their own stalls, er, rooms, more than not, which is consider success. :P I've slept on it a few nights myself and...

Snork

I'm very sorry. He was a truly gorgeous cat.

Snork

I thought I'd update this - gave my 30 day notice today and will move the horse to the barn 20 min further where my kids ride.

Snork

Wonderful! Congratulations!!!!

Snork

I also have this great wooden bowl that is a horse carved out of a single piece of wood. It was a UDBBer who was very active for a long time, a young woman from the Midwest or plains and I think her family makes the bowls. I remembered who!! It was SarMonet (Moinet?). I think Sar is not riding anym...

Snork

Ha! Welcome back!

Snork

I am so sorry Josette. I hope the little one had a good night and pred is kicking in. Wishing for a peaceful quality time for all of you.

Snork

Od thread, but I think the almost unanimous consensus on the old board was that Zojurushi is the go-to for bread machines. Works well for heavier, gluten-free breads as well but, of course, recipe matters.

Mine is somewhere in the closet. Haven't used it in ages.

Snork

I know redsoxs! But i ran the numbers and between the wood, hardware and first couple of coats of finish, it's way cheaper to upcycle a nice armoire than it is to build one!

Snork

We need an update. How did this come out?

Snork

Bulldog is on Interceptor, boxer x is on Heartgard plus (TriHeart). Long story, two different vets due to the bulldogs special needs (being a bulldog, after all). I might switch them both to Interceptor this year just to make my life easier.

Snork

What a beautiful place and gorgeous wedding. Was the cake cryo-preserved to be eaten over the next 50 years a la Seinfeld episode?

Snork

Thank you gals. I know full well that the quarantine is neither adequate nor makes any sense, but that's what BM believes she needs to do "to protect all the horses." The "quarantined" horse is still in a stall where it can touch noses with other horses, vets, farriers, massage t...

Snork

Really nice! Love the blue color. I'm currently on a hunt for a used armoire that is at least 24" deep inside so that in can make this: http://homemadehorsejumps.weebly.com/tack-locker-armoire.html I'd reconfigure it a bit (don't need four saddle racks) but i do need space to store my saddle pa...

Snork

So cool and what an amazing opportunity for the kids to see truly wild animals up close playing like that.

Snork

Barn drama, what else is new, right? I'm hoping maybe by writing this out, things will get more clear to me. Just moved my horse to a new barn, that has a lot of things i really, really like. For Chicago, it is almost magically close - just over 30 min from my house (compared to the hour or so for ...

Snork

With a caveat that not all states require reporting of things like strangles. It is definitely spreading in IL but in IL there is no reporting requirement so if it hits a less scrupulous barn, you'll never know about it.

I'm going to go against the drawer dishwasher recommendation. They have the highest failure rate of all dishwashers so while not all fail, the chances are high enough. I don't generally like to go buying expensive trouble. I have three Bosh dishwashers and so far so good. Two have the third rack (ut...

Is there anything that you could possibly discover on a PPE that would make you say you don't want her? If so, do PPE, otherwise, I agree with redsox et al. You know her, you love her, if it was me, i'd skip the PPE and use the money (thousands, possibly) to invest in Adequan, legend and some massag...

Snork

Naturally! I mean, do you like your sweaters moth-eaten or sleek and shiny? Horses are a bit like that too

Snork

What a majestic animal. His name fits him for sure. What kind of a cat is it?

Snork

Princess looks AWESOME. For a pony saddle, we had a few when my girls were that little and, depending on what you want, i have a few recommendations. Cheap and easy? Wintec kids saddle with the built-in handle. Less than $200 and teeny-tiny. Something nicer? Pessoa Pony. New about $1300, the 13"...

Snork

Welcome! Lovely kid and lovely horses.

I have friends from all walks of life, so, no I wouldn't refuse to buy something from someone who doesn't share my political views. I wouldn't sell an animal to someone I didn't think would take good care of him/her, regardless of politics.

I ignore most political posts on FB.

My girls had endless amount of fun at that age with this thing: https://www.amazon.com/Fisher-Price-Little-People-Animal-Friends/dp/B00NHPH4CM/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1492533025&sr=8-4&keywords=play+barn My girls had endless amount of fun with things like drums and bongos and maracas too....

I'm sure the stables are lovely BUT ... If it was my child, i'd steer her somewhere else. Horses are nice, stables are nice, all girls liberal arts school is nice, but education is less about nice and more about academic achievement in a stable environment, using stable in the "not barn" k...

She has a lovely soft eye. I think you've got yourself a new permanent buddy!

Tuddy is gorgeous. He looks like every girls dream pony, horse size!
