Your strength through this has been truly inspiring. I can't believe a year is gone already

TeresaA

Let me chime in to say that I agree with everyone in this thread. It is difficult but you need to put your children's safety first. Your MIL can choose to believe what she likes but you don't have to put your children at risk nor you mental well-being because of worry. I do hope that your husband en...

TeresaA

He looks very happy. You worked very hard to make this happen. Good for you.

TeresaA

what a sweet face she has

TeresaA

I am so sorry for what happened and am in awe of your fortitude.

But is Benadryl always a powerful enough medication to prevent the situation from worsening? Would it have guaranteed the boy wouldn't have gone into anaphylactic shock? For my son it did. I have no idea as to this situation but if the boy was in danger of anaphylactic shock I would assume that the...

TeresaA

the problem with the story is that we don't know all the facts. Perhaps the parents were being rude on the plane? I agree with straightforward that removing the animal wouldn't have changed anything. I am also thinking that if I had a child with allergies like this I would have medications on me to ...

TeresaA

I hope that it works out for you. You can't stay so that your friend can continue to have lessons. If I boarded it would so that I'd have access to an indoor.

Have you checked out Lee Valley? They have so many options. Like:

TeresaA

That is wonderful news! He's very handsome and looks like a steady fellow.

TeresaA

thank you everyone, she hasn't really gained consciousness but I think she recognized me yesterday, briefly. She is on 'comfort care'. No IV , just meds to keep her comfortable, mouth care and whatever sips of beverages she wants to have.

My mother has been battling cancer for a while now. Suddenly, last week everything fell apart. I'm sitting by her bed while she sleeps - heavily medicated for pain. I am wishing for this latest trial of hers to be brief and that she passes in her sleep. UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the wishes. It ...

TeresaA

Job Nigel's that this is brief.

TeresaA

I love him- what a fun guy he looks to be.

TeresaA

I think that it's a great idea!

TeresaA

You guys should be ashamed of yourself.

All I see is two horses practicing self loading.

How dare you malign the intentions of those noble beasts.

TeresaA

oh I am so sorry.
There is no deserving.

By all means- stay down for a while and give yourself a chance to catch your breath.

TeresaA

I ordered these this year: http://www.pleasantridge.ca/index.php/english-apparel/riding-boots/ovation-blizzard-winter-boots-with-zipper.html I have to say that they are really warm. I've worn them riding and I've worn them to work when there was a storm. Caveat- the calf is regular and I'm not sure ...

TeresaA

congratulations! I hope it all goes smoothly but if it doesn't I am jingling for you to cope with it

TeresaA

I am with Maple on this. I have an old laundry sink. I love the depth to put stuff in to clean. It can get looking cruddy but every now and then I scrub it and it looks better. I use it all the time.

TeresaA

thanks guys. You are correct, I can get an owners code but the forms are not easy to find the website is tricky to navigate so I need to phone and sort it out.

TeresaA

My first thought was Phyllis too.

TeresaA

that sounds truly horrible. I hope that you heal quickly. I echo the thoughts about how tough you are!

TeresaA

Hi guys In March I purchased a PRE (Andalusian) mare. She came with papers for USPREA and I wanted to transfer the ownership. I filled out the online form and paid a hefty amount. I just recieved a call and an email that I need a breeder code and that's another $295 US (which is close to 500 CAD). I...

TeresaA

I found it on FB. I love it.

TeresaA

I can see why they are called 'springers'. He has springs in his legs! What a happy dog.

TeresaA

There's a breeder of these in the area- I've become quite intrigued with the breed. They seem like good dogs.

TeresaA

What a beauty! Congratulations.

TeresaA

I have a TB/QH cross who was lovely to ride and had some talent for lateral work until he developed some neurological problems.

My other horse is an Andalusian and I love this breed to bits.

TeresaA

I came off with a teleport spook (what a great way to describe it). Landed on my feet. I manage to do that 9 times out of 10 but have no idea how

I may have to get those chaps. Or install a seatbelt.

TeresaA

Oh I am sorry. My mother has her third cancer and I think this is the one that will take her. it has spread to her liver now and she's looking pretty frail.

Hugs. and know that you are not alone.

TeresaA

I am sorry that this happened but glad that it was found early.

39 degrees? yikes.

TeresaA

God speed Peri.

I like to think that Steele will greet her at the bridge- he died one year ago today

TeresaA

thanks guys for the idea. The monument valley looks fabulous but probably won't make it on this trek. The guys want to get some golfing in while we ride so I was thinking within the San Tan Valley-Phoenix area. I have been to the botanical garden in Phoenix and loved it. I definitely want to go back...

TeresaA

wow that is fabulous news!

TeresaA

jingling!!!

TeresaA

I think it's a terrible idea. But I want to be supportive so will send you my address so you can send all the cakes to my place. :mrgreen: I would do this for you. :D :D In all seriousness I love the idea of homemade gifts. Of course I gave jars of pickled beets to my co-workers so I may be biased.

TeresaA

DH, myself and another couple are going to Arizona (just south of Phoenix) in April. One of our plans is to head up to the Grand Canyon. I had wanted to stop in Sonoma but DH heard that it's a tourist trap and we should stay in Flagstaff. So what do you think? We want to have a fun and a bit of pamp...

TeresaA

Thanks Everyone for the cyber hugs. Teresa, I have had similar reactions except mine would happen at night when I was sleeping. This all happened after I came off Moose and was injured though not seriously. I would have dreams in the middle of the night and feel like I was falling like that. I wound...

TeresaA

Thank you everyone. This support from people who understand this and that I can't do the 'it's just a horse thing' and get over it.

TeresaA

RIB Viscount Ashley of Leftfield. You lived a grand life surrounded by love and care.

TeresaA

Thanks guys. I googled 'triggers' and 'ptsd' and it does sound similar. I knew that after it happened that I had a hard time with it all but I didn't really believe that I had PTSD. Now I'm wondering.

I will try to connect with my counsellor again and see what to do next.

TeresaA

For the back story (it was posted on UDBB) I lost my horse when two dogs chased him through a series of gates and fences into a swamp where he broke his leg and had to be euthanized on the spot. It was one of the worst experiences of my life (here's a link with the full story: http://journeywithadan...

TeresaA

I echo what Bascar said- be kind to yourself. I am sorry that you are hurting and wish I could ease the pain.

TeresaA

I am so sorry for your loss. I'm glad that your parents were with her.

TeresaA

you know you can buy it, right? already made?

TeresaA

so when we built our barn this is how I did the stalls:
-gravel (about 12") followed by a layer of crusher dust that we tamped down and then put mats on top. Anything that gets below drains away and I've never had water come up through.

TeresaA

RIP Ricky. I am sorry for your loss

TeresaA

Have you tried any Kent & Masters saddles? Maybe the cob model? I’ve heard good things about them, reportedly good quality for the price. I believe there are US saddlers that carry them and offer a trial. I bought one of these and I LOVE it. The seat fits me perfectly and I love the changeable ...

TeresaA

ooh I am in love. Congratulations!
