I echo what other posters have said about not wanting to deal with the extra weight. I pull with a Suburban. All my stuff goes in the truck. Like it better that way. I have no desire to have a dressing room.

Condolences to all who were part of her world. Woost, thanks for letting us know.

VBOpie

That's what I like about this board - there's usually someone who thinks like you do! So glad I'm not the only one that feels this way about Hello/Adele. Also thought I was missing something. Thought maybe it was my age;-0

VBOpie

I haven't picked her up yet; she doesn't feel comfortable with both me hands around her middle. But too bad--she needs her claws trimmed and I'll just have to stuff her in and not feel bad when she cries. PaulaO, I always try to put one hand cupped under their front legs and scoop them up into my a...

OmegaMare,

I can totally relate to your comment about your email inbox. I just emptied mine and am systematically unsubscribing to all those sales emails that somehow found my name on their mailing list. I'm amazed at the difference it's making.

VBOpie

That is so sweet!

VBOpie

Congratulations, she is beautiful! Love the pink collar!

VBOpie

Congratulations to you and the kitty, Paula. I hope you both have many long cuddly nights together. Keep us posted on her settling in progress.

VBOpie

Amado,
This is absolutely gorgeous work! I love it!

VBOpie

No, I don't, but I am going to ask. I know the answer to that question will change the picture a little bit.

VBOpie

I have the opportunity to ride a horse while Lad is undergoing his treatment for EPM. The horse is older and has not had a lot of work due to his owner's illness. Do any of you have experience with horses with sway backs? Anything I can do for this guy as he gets back to light work? I have a nice th...

VBOpie

Anyone else who is interested, toss in some suggestions of a meeting place. I'm pretty flexible.

VBOpie

Scruffy,

Where in RI? I grew up in East Prov. I've been gone a l-o-n-g time, though. I still have a few friends and family in that area. Chancellor, I can't make the upcoming gathering. The next time I'll probably be up that way is around Memorial Day.

VBOpie

What would be convenient for everyone? If we were just sticking to Tidewater, I'd say probably someplace in Norfolk, but if we have others from NC who might like to join us,.... Any ideas?

VBOpie

Does anyone have one?

VBOpie

Chancellor, the NE is not outside my territory. I grew up in RI and have family and friends there and in NH. Literiding, what side of the water are you on?

VBOpie

Anybody out there? I've never heard of a bb gathering in this neck of the woods.

VBOpie

I posted this in Veterinary, too. Lad's blood test came back positive for EPM, so we will begin treatment. In the meantime, I guess I'll see if I can find someone with lesson horses until we see what the outcome is. I do think he'll be okay.

VBOpie

That secret is revealed in a later episode.

VBOpie

Hi, Mari
Wait til you watch season 2! One change for good (IMO) is the theme song. The one from season 1 was too dark and I hated the fresco backdrop. I watched season 1 on Netflix and just skipped the opening because it made me angry. Season 2 has a catchy new theme song

VBOpie

Anyone watching this series?

VBOpie

The vet came out for Lad this am. She thinks his problem is neurologic-maybe EPM. So, blood has been sent off. At this point, I think I'll look for something to lease or an instructor who has lesson horses that isn't a million miles away. Kande50, if I did a get a second horse, it's true I'd only ha...

I love Laughing Moon Farm - I love the moon, too

VBOpie

I'd like to thank everyone for their comments. Both the kissing spine diagnosis and the ulcer diagnosis were two things I hadn't considered, and I wouldn't have made the connection that Lad's symptoms might indicate either one. I thought a horse with kissing spine tended to have a more violent react...

VBOpie

Demi

That's my thought, too. I was hoping Lad and I would do a century ride in another decade

VBOpie

Nightlace

That sounds just like Lad. I know someone else mentioned ulcers, too. If it has to be anything, I'd rather it be that than kissing spine. The vet is coming out the 10th.

VBOpie

Boy, is this topic timely for me. I've been thinking about this for a while now. I am 61 and my boy will turn 20 in 2016. I just posted in the veterinary forum about a back problem he is having. I am not sure what I will do if I have to retire him. I had two horses up until last year when I lost my ...

VBOpie

He is perfectly sound and moves freely w/o the saddle. He runs, bucks, gets silly in the pasture, etc.

VBOpie

Lad's blood work came back positive for EPM. :roll: The vet came out today and examined Lad. She suspects EPM or some other neurologic problem. She was very thorough. She did a lameness exam, etc. She feels it is EPM or some other neurologic problem. She had me get on so she could observe Lad's beha...

Abby, I agree with you about buying something you think the person would like - like RTR buying for her brother. Gift giving is exciting when you buy find that special thing. Also, you can always encourage the family to donate in some form to a charity, e.g., serving Christmas dinner to the homeless...

My husband and I are very anti-toy (especially since most of them are made in China). All my grandkids have more toys than they know what to do with, so we opt for experiential presents - things like camp, or a season pass to the zoo or botanical gardens (our local gardens have a wonderful kids sect...

Heading up to my sister's and BIL's in northern New Hampshire. Can't wait for the down time!

VBOpie

We saw it last night. Great movie! Can't beat a Hanks/Spielberg combo! Interesting story.

VBOpie

I don't have experience with the Boink, but I tried the FITS summer weight this year, and I really liked them.

VBOpie

Bummer. Dasher-sorry to hear that about the BoT gloves. Did you notice any extra warmth, at all? What are the winter riding conditions where you are?

VBOpie

I like the Heritage winter riding gloves. I also supplement with the hand warmers. This year, I'm going to splurge on a pair of Back on Track's glove.

VBOpie

I agree with Ryan's Friend and Rhiannon - movement is your friend. Yoga, pilates, swimming - once I get going, I feel s-o-o much better. Same thing for our horses - I think our instinct is to decrease their activity, but movement is better - even if it is just walking.

VBOpie

I don't know what my first post was. The commaraderie is why I like it here. I'm mostly a lurker, but there area lot of people I've enjoyed following through thick and thin (Fallingwaters, Chisamba, Quelah, Louise, Lynn (and Peter), etc.). Also, as I've mentioned before, my bff used to like this boa...
