I don't think smoking is an issue in the adoption process. At least, when I was interviewing potential adopters, it wasn't for me....nor had I been counseled to consider that. The fenced yard is a nice to have these days not a necessity. It would be great if you had one. But not everyone can. And re...

Now the Landrover Kentucky three day event is cancelled (formerly Rolex) and the Kentucky Derby is rescheduled! This IS unprecedented.

Things are getting crazy here. Governor Baker is closing things left and right. And I am happy he is doing that. I see far too many people talking about the governor going too far. But if we have learned anything from China, we really need to flatten the curve of the sick so we don't overwhelm the h...

Plain soap is very effective against COVID19. Coronavirus are encapsulated in a lipid layer, soap is very effective in dissolving the lipid layer and basically disintegrates the virus. It's not about stopping the virus, about 75noercent if us need to get sick and recover so we develop a kind if her...

At least they are refunding tickets. Unlike when the hurricane was going to hit the WEGs.

I'm sort of starting to enjoy reading the titles of these threads. Even though I have no more horse goals.

Salvino's piaffe has some nice sit! But in her opening canter coming into the ring, it looked a bit like she was "shoving" him with her seat. Don't get me wrong, she is a lovely rider. I'm nit picking.

This is from PaulaO's barn mate: I’ve been asked about donating to help the crew who lost everything in Friday’s fire at Tower Hill Stables. Miss Thea, a trainer at THS, set up a checking account. Below is information on how to donate to the account. From Miss Thea: Good afternoon everyone ❤ After s...

We just finished the first season of Locke and Key on Netflix. It was a great show.
"Following their father's murder, three siblings move into a house filled with reality-bending keys; from the comics by Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez."
Can't wait for season 2

I don't care for Nancy Grace either, but while flying thru the channels I heard the word Horse, so I stopped and listenend :D Agree She did not deserve to be shot, but if what is reported is true and she was pushing all Mr Barisone buttons that isn't deserved by him either. If calling child service...

A Chase fund is being set up for donations. I will let you know the deets when I get them. Thank you for asking. Paula, Please when you know the details, let me know. We can put a sticky up here to let our members know in case they want to donate. What a horrible thing to happen! So, freaking scare...

There have been a number of threads on COTH where she just goes off. She is clearly nuts. But yes, no one deserves to be shot.

I personally can't stand Nancy Grace!

I DO hope Laura Graves gets a sponsor! I do't know how many other horses she rides, but Verdades was a difficult horse and she did probably better than any other American ever has, really. It would be a shame not to have her out there competing for the team with her experience. Agreed. She did grea...

I guess I'm being obtuse or just stupid. I have taken it for granted that if you learn to walk the distances (so that you're measuring them by your stride/foot) and to count a horse's stride, one is also inadvertently learning how to measure lines and should in theory be able to set up gymnastic li...

I wish I had that kind of support! Me too! And I wish I could ride a fraction as well as he does. He is an Olympic rider, and he has proven that. He is fortunate to have a sponsor who rightly believes in him and (I am pretty sure) gets to ride her horses when they're done competing for the gold. If...

I wish I had that kind of support!

I think the theory is lacking. I can only speak about how I learned and how it is commonly done in Australia of course, but I think maybe a lot of that theory and study is overlooked thesedays?? Yep I know the distances in a dressage arena (because I've set many out for clubs/comps - so painful) bu...

I think the point is more that riders today are not really getting the training to walk lines etc. I watch my niece ride and she has no idea how long strides are or anything like that. My old jumping coach had us doing "lines" and you had to count the last three strides before the pole on ...

This is a quote from his Facebook page: Something that I have found to be true, year in, year out---- Riders who jump, which would include jumper riders, hunter riders, event riders, spend thousands of dollars a year on horse board, hundreds of dollars a year on lessons, thousands of dollars a year ...

We used to have those little baskets in our time share in St Maarten. they were a pain! Little bottles of shampoo would fall over. Now granted you aren't likely to have little travel bottles at home.
I have shelves in mine and I love them

I loved the commercial too. But when my husband messaged me about the commercial, I had absolutely NO idea what product it was advertising. So, for me, not an effective commercial.

Love the blog FluffyCritter!

Talk to the breeder. If they're not receptive, that's on them, not you. ((((hugs))))

This is well said!

I think if you were honest and said exactly what happened, she would understand. The very fact that you are worried about your little girl needing a playmate would signal to me that you are a responsible owner. I mean, think about it this way. A very long time ago, my horse got injured at the barn h...

I know the situation and I have to say Boudicea, this was not your fault. This was very clearly an accident. You are a VERY good owner. I got lucky when Lexicon escaped and was found by my neighbor. You were very unlucky.

This was definitely NOT negligence.

I am so sorry Fergus! Agree 100% with Snork and Xan.

That is such a good way to think about it! So positive!

Whatever happened to Rosamunde? I saw her just starting out when they did a demo ride at the World Cup in Las Vegas. I thought she had some potential.

It's not an SVG. I don't even remember what it is...I will have to find the file. When I do, I may take you up on it.

Soon. It isn't a simple change.....But I will do my best.

Hey, welcome Knight's Mom!

what is this world coming to? Barisone indicted, George Morris permanently banned.

I am about to go on vacation for two weeks in St Maarten. I have added Phoenix Rising as an additional moderator to assist in my absence.

That is lovely!

Good on you! Each day your lungs are getting healthier!

Jenn is a VERY funny writer. This is her introduction but has another blog about to come out.

We can hope. But WOW! I did not think that would actually be upheld just because of who he is.

Xan you are a gifted storyteller. And unfortunately, it is the gift that has got me crying because I can feel your pain through your story.
I'm sorry he is gone.

Don't be afraid to message me if you want this as a sticky. Sometimes I don't always see things.

It's about time. Now I need to change the silhouette on the front of this page.

So sorry Kelo.

OH MY. How about this hunk?

LaurieB-- I am SO happy to see you here! I think this is okay to discuss as he is a public figure....and this was all over the news!

Mine came from the Verden Auction. So far problem free. But, one of my big clients bought a top-priced PSI horse and when it got back to the USA it *never* had a rideable day in it's life. Even Harry Boldt got on it and couldn't make it go. Gorgeous horse, but completely ruined. Horses in general a...

Someone once told me that you don't ever want to buy from these big auctions. The horses are young and pushed hard to show that kind of movement. So, they struggle with soundness in their later lives. Nontheless, they are gorgeous to look at. Mine came from the Verden Auction. So far problem free. ...

Saying goodbye is the hardest thing we do when we welcome animals into our lives. It never gets easier. Godspeed Zena. Hugs to you Tarlo.

November and December are frequently weather friendly months in central Texas so I hope get some good fitness building work in this time. I have been steadily riding 4-6 time a week, although July through September heat limited me to walking much of the time. I used the walking to my advantage by c...

Xan, how absolutely gut wrenching.

Chancellor I apologize for how I responded to your PM - I'm having a hard time still (have been in hospital for a month again) and I wasn't feeling well then. I was very shocked to see your message - it felt like a slap across the face for something I never intended to do. I hope you can accept my ...
