Does such a think even exist or am i looking for a unicorn? You'd think I'd like to switch everyone in this house to grassfed milk. We already only use organic but for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is welfare of the cows, i really prefer the idea of grassfed. Husband, however, is very...

It's been Blue Apron in this house for the last few weeks, and so far so good. Some recipes are better than others but at least they all are pretty to look at. And many of them contain salad, something my youngsters need a LOT of practice to consume - we're chipping (gagging? pretending to vomit? oh...

Snork

Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials! The button flower is gorgeous, but why no pictures of the naked cake?

Snork

You look fantastic Shirrine! I got a good laugh out of the eco-recycling

Snork

Dear Kathy and Chisamba, I am so very very sorry for your loss.

Snork

Fergus, i'm going to PM you. Was the lady local to you? I might want to get one like this for a gift for someone in your area

Snork

Perhaps a combination of barn SOP and your preferred square look - one of those buckets with one flat side? Like this:

Snork

Squeee! She is so unbelievably cute. Love short fat hairy mares!

Snork

You guys are WILD! We went for NYE dinner ... at 5pm, with a fake ball drop and everything at 6:30pm, home by 8, in bed by 9 and next thing i know I was making cinnamon bun wreath for the first breakfast of the New Year.

Life with children

Snork

I generally only have one horse and have been lucky to have had consecutive horses that all wore the same size blankets since I came back to riding after my kids. The blankets I bought for my mare were inherited by the lusitano and are now being used by the shareboard horse. So, for one horse, in th...

Snork

Is the blonde horse also a Canadian Horse? So cute - looks a lot like a belgian or haflinger mix, for which i happen to have a very soft spot

Snork

I am another one who likes Rambos and Rhinos. They have fit most horses i've ever had, with the exception of the friesian (figures, right!) whose gargantuan neck simply won't fit in the Wug opening. I can buckle the neck, of sorts, but it is a good 10 inches up the neck from where it is supposed to ...

Snork

I made smoked whitefish dauphinoise from a cookbook long ago recommended by our very own bascar (where IS bascar, after all - anyone knows?) and it was amazing. Unfortunately, my 6 and 8 year old's weren't of the same opinion but just as well - more for me and the husband. I refuse to acknowledge th...

Snork

Imperini, i think there is a lot to your theory of her just needing time to adjust. I now ride a friesian gelding who was at his previous barn for about the same time as your mare. He is 18, a calm, sweet and absolutely trustworthy boy, who doesn't put a foot wrong. But when the barn imploded and ev...

I did a google search for "chronofhorse best cooler" today and when i clicked on one of the threads that came up (through google search, not through chronofhorseforums), it brought me to a malware site. Clicked back, clicked the link again and it went to chronofhorse. Something is still sc...

I absolutely love my Neatos (have two, one on each floor). Neither is WiFi enabled - they have a set schedule and they work every weekday, without me putting any kind of effort into it besides emptying the containers daily (or more on Monday). They cope admirably with dog hair, carpets, hardwood, ti...

Snork

Why are you so unfairly singling out Pedro like that? It doesn't look like *anyone* in that pasture is starving ... Sure, the blanket got a bit out of kilter but, really, could have happened to anyone

Snork

... (I plan on leaving the Rambo untouched until the one I bought him LAST year wears out--that's how I justified my purchase anyways.) Are blankets susceptible to dry-rot like tires if not used for extended period of time? Because i have some Rambos that are 10 years old and still very much going ...

Snork

All is well that ends well, right? Nights have been cold in your neck of the woods - if Fergus needs a blanket, Fergus needs a blanket! How about a temporary solution of one of those blankets with no chest buckles? No buckles, no possibility to get hung up. I don't particularly like the closed front...

Snork

That is a really good turn of events! Here's to more like that to come!

Snork

Choke is a serious business. Glad she's ok!

Snork

Congratulations! Certainly sounds the opposite of "not-earned"

Snork

Briarwood, congratulations on Marley doing well! if you don't have anyone locally, I'll be very happy to pass the meds on to Boxer Rebound (http://www.boxerrebound.com), the IL boxer rescue. They are wonderful and do so much with very little - my charity of choice, for sure - and they almost always ...

Snork

Definitely planning on going. My best friend and my pony are in Charlotte, so going to combine all kinds of good things!

Snork

Thinking of you Chance. It sucks but no way out except forward - you'll get through this and will be lounging on St. Maarten beach next year.

Snork

How did it go?

Snork

I am in the same area as Paula and I can not for the life of me imagine anyone paying 7500 for a 17 yo QHxPercheron mare on daily Previcox (i.e. soundness issues). I would say Zevida's assessment is spot on 2500-5K depending on a recent show record and who can get the changes.

Snork

Has GI lymphoma been ruled out? It's good at hiding, and bloodwork often doesn't show much till the very end.

I'm with Quelah - vet school.

Snork

I am sorry I'm so late with this, I've been away for a while but please know that you are in my thoughts. Peace be with you.

Snork

I, too, get what you are saying Scruffy. FB ... just another venue helping you insert foot in mouth.

Snork

Oh no. Winter just sucks.

Snork

Posted the final update above. 2015 DDBB Kringle is officially closed - everyone has sent and received their presents. Happy New Year and here's to many more.

Snork

I think it was bascar who recommended the book.

Snork

Merry Christmas Paula! Now that's some gift you gave yourself. Lovely cat, and older ones are absolutely the best.

Snork

So cute! Thank you for giving her a home, she looks so very happy.

Snork

PaulaO is right that Dubarry is not meant for riding. They have one model, Clare, that is "suitable for an occasional ride" because of the leather panel on the inside calf but otherwise I think the ride you get in them would not be worth the price of those boots. I have Dublin Pinnacle boo...

Snork

I'm so sorry Periastra.

Snork

Apparently I gravitate towards the lighter, more agile mind and compact bodies. Too bad because I'm hardly a compact type of creature but alas ... :lol: I ride a lusitano right now. We had a rough start owing to a less than suitable trainer but we're slowly getting accustomed to each other. By all o...

Snork

After staring at this for two days, with not ONE person misbehaving i'm not sure if we're just all holiday-ed out or what or maybe i'm the only one but ... socks was not what i expected when i opened this thread. Trucks, yes, socks, no.

I should really slow down reading, i suppose.

http://www.food.com/recipe/worlds-best-butter-cookies-50684 This is my absolute favorite cookie recipe ever. They are very tasty and, yet, very easy. The dough also keeps really well. I usually make a double batch, separate them into 6 or 7 small logs, wrap each log in freezer paper or cling-type fi...

Home is wherever my dad is. I never lived in the house he lives now but it is still home to me because he is there. In a broader sense, home is the entire little country where i come from - the air, the sky, the sun, the woods and the fields are different because it is home. In a less visceral sense...

Rocking horses can be problematic for very young kids. Mine managed to get her foot under the rail and hurt herself. For an 18 month old Rody horse is better (and more torturous for the parents). You can also add a base to it and make it into a rocking horse. But jumping one is more fun! http://www....

Snork

I'm sorry Viscountess

Snork

Like boots, I saw this yesterday but could not comment. I have two little girls myself and i remember the absolute terror of thinking of SIDS and how there was no way for me to protect them because we didn't know what it was we were protecting against in the first place. It's just one of THOSE thing...

Snork

Edited because i committed the cardinal sin of not reading the entire thread before posting. Paula, how about learning the canter transitions at home and then going for a relaxed riding vacation afterwards? You could get a 5-7 day lesson session with a good local trainer so you can get all the benef...

Snork

I'm sorry Sunshine. I don't know that you ever stop missing them, but it does get better. The grief is not that sharp anymore and most of the time you don't expect them at the door when you come home. When does that happen is anyone's guess except that the time is not measured in days, and, to be en...

Snork

Part of why i got the V8 is because I wanted something that could tow a trailer comfortably. V6 could do it too but probably less comfortably. The other part is that my husband, being a boy, has a minor horsepower addiction and wanted a say in the purchase. I haven't actually ever towed anything wit...

Back on track makes a saddle pad that incorporates a Thinline pad under the saddle area - Contender II. It is also shimmable. I have it as an "emergency" pad for the times my saddle and my horse might have gotten a bit out of sync and it's going to be a week or two until the fitter can get...

Snork

Until you got to that point about gas guzzlers giving you a heartburn I was going to recommend XC90.

I love mine and it fits all of your requirements except the gas mileage. Mine is HORRIBLE. Of course, mine is also a V8.

Snork

You guys say rotund like it's a bad thing. This is a PONY! This is how they should look - cute and cuddly and hairy and comfortable to hug. Whoever dreamed of a pony that looks like a TB in racing condition? Not me, anyway. Ponies should be as wide as they are tall and have manes and tails and a bit...
