WhileI get that, it is also a question of animal wellfare. But it was made quite clear that horses need controlled excercise (versus just paddock/pasture time) to stay happy and healthy... Poppycock. Made quite clear by whom? Many, many horses lead happy, healthy lives without being ridden or any o...

Yep Paula, I'd say that lady and her girls made the BO set stricter boundaries. I actually am a bit leery to ride, I'm concerned that if I get hurt the last place I want to go is the hospital. Since things with this virus don't seem to be improving, I may even drop down to every other day. If you (...

Out little burg (population 16,000) now has its first confirmed cases of COVID-19. An 85 year-old resident of a nursing home has died (s/he had significant underlying health problems), and 10 residents and four staff have tested positive. Shit just got very real here.

This pup, being a mixed breed, will have hybrid vigor, and not necessarily any of the fairly minor health issues of the CKCS breed. Go get that pup! Hybrid vigor does NOT apply to mixed breed dogs. Mixed species are hybrids not mixed breeds! Hybrid vigor absolutely does apply to outcrossing, as opp...

Tough day for you, Moutaineer. I'm so sorry.

That's a big one. Glad you're okay and hope your co-worker is, as well.

Ohio Department of Health has issued a stay at home order for two weeks starting Tuesday. it permits "outdoor activity." Guess who's going to be riding outside for the next two weeks (if the barn stays open).

Started The Stranger on Netflix but bailed in the middle of episode 2. I can't count the number if shows I've bailed on after two episodes. Once in a while, after one. Life's too short, and there is enough great TV that I will like to spend time watching anything I'm not into by the middle of the s...

KathyK

I'm expecting the same decision from my barn in the next few days. I will also agree and understand, but will also probably be quite teary at times.

KathyK

I'm watching "City on a Hill." It took me a little while to get into it, but I'm enjoying it.

Moutaineer, you just can't catch a break, can you.

Things are changing quickly here--SF bay area. I think all schools were closed as of last week. They just announced a shelter in home for all seven bay area counties for three weeks. Let's see how this goes. We all just need to relax and go with it. On a vent, I have been sharing any free online le...

...but I also think I found Junior's TRUE talent, hence the quote above LOL. While cleaning my stall on Saturday. I used the wheel barrow to block the entry of the stall. Junior wanted out but I told him to wait and I'd take him for a walk after I was done mucking out the stall. He was standing at ...

I'm going to try making English muffins today. I used to make all our bread but have never attempted this variety. I have a bread machine somewhere in the storage room and all the ingredients...

So..., I spend a lot of my time on FB and groups correcting mistakes about hand sanitizer recipes. Ask away on that and that subject only. I've heard that 2/3 cup 91% alcohol, 1/3 cup aloe vera gel is a good recipe. Your thoughts? Yep, or substitute glycerin or even water for the aloe vera gel. Tha...

This is a wonderful hip tuitorial video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlCvKEOZtpo I agree -- a very clear explanation of the hip joint. I had x-rays last week, ordered by my chiropractor, and have been diagnosed with "moderate to severe" osteoarthritis in my left hip. Chiro is smart en...

We have begun some cross training with a (so far) good H/J trainer who understands 1) this is a dressage horse and 2) this is a dressage horse! We are working over trot and canter poles for the time being. I am learning to be straighter in the saddle, harder for me to do in a jumping saddle in a hal...

Salvino belongs to a friend. This success has come via a long, difficult road, with lots of heartache. I could not be happier for her.

I think this is my first contribution to the Goals threads! My not-so-new horse (almost nine months now) and I are starting to come together pretty well. It took awhile, but I always felt that it would happen eventually. Our goals: Learn to ride the right lead canter/walk transition properly to help...

My sincere and deepest sympathy to you and your family. You are in my thoughts.

I'm so very sorry, khall. I'm glad, though, that you and your sister have each other to hang onto during this devastatingly difficult time.

I'm watching the first season of Marcella, a British mystery/police drama with complex, interesting characters. Laura Carmichael isn't the main character, but has an important role in the first season. It's fun to see her away from her Downton Abbey role.

I'm so glad that you, the staff, and almost all of the horses are safe. How awful that one did die. Fire is terrifying.

While no one deserves to be shot, the victim in this case is responsible for a lot of what led to the shooting.

Dresseur posted an in-depth report on her health on the progress thread. I can certainly relate to it, and had intended to write a report on my own groin issue. I strained my right groin decades ago. It was when I was first starting up/down lessons and stood in 2point too long. Because I didn't own...

What a lovely thing for the vet tech to do.

Last night I had the full-on sobs, thinking about the trust they have in us, how I literally led him to his final resting spot and he walked right along, never doubting me.

Very good with lots of twists. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00S3J0GX6 When five-year-old Oliver vanishes, it sets off a manhunt that will last for years to come.
