I really like her- she's nice and solid! Congratulations!

TeresaA

Mine don't squabble but they are both not dominant types. There is plenty of grass in the summer and I have hay in 3 locations during the winter so there's no need to squabble. The hardware is out of the way and so far the doorframe have been okay.

TeresaA

Yikes. The moments that make our heart stop! I'm glad that it was fine and that your horse was sensible.

TeresaA

You are just too nice for your own good. Practice saying "No" and after a while it will come easier for you. The more you say "No" and are pleasant and firm about it the easier people will take it. People will just take advantage of you and it's up to you to draw the line. It to...

TeresaA

Lots of good advice. I would advise that you sit down and figure out what exactly you want to get out of having horses at home. Then list ways to make that happen. Then make a plan and execute it. It may lead to some dififcult decisions (evicting boarders, selling horses) but right now you are not g...

TeresaA

Yay! It looks great!

TeresaA

I love that you considered options, consulted with your vet and then retired your horse so he could be happy. I'm glad that you didn't try to sell him or place him where you wouldn't know what happened to him. He's a beautiful horse and your love for him is clear.

TeresaA

Zipping up my flame suit. I was surprised at how strong my reaction was to the result. After all it's not my country. Although I believe that the US is a wonderful country and I have always enjoyed travelling there. I did some soul searching to figure out why and realized that people were willing to...

TeresaA

Echo takes up your leg quite well and you look good on her. I'm so happy that you have a riding horse!

TeresaA

I am so sorry for you on the loss of your mare. It is very hard to make the decision.

TeresaA

Oh he's so cute.

TeresaA

I think it looks great. I was fairly conservative about bling but then I bought a gray mare and realized she could wear anything.......

TeresaA

Lots of great suggestions- I echo the one about two point. What has helped me to deal with this sort of thing is to visualize what I'm afraid of and then what my response would be. I believe I found this in one of jane Savoie's books and it really was helpful

TeresaA

Those might work- I would need a couple sets because they will need to be washed. His sheath is clean- the gunk is down on his lower legs and it's from the dripping of the urine. I think it's a mix of urine and dirt. He's gotten quite used to the frequent leg washing but once winter hits that really...

TeresaA

HI guys, My older, neurological gelding is pretty much incontinent of urine. The previcox has helped reduce it but he still does it. His back legs are mess of sticky, black gunk. I've been trying to keep it clean. Washing it vigourously peels off the hair. I've had some success using excalibur. But ...

TeresaA

I don't know that I would have understood how much one horse could mean to a person until I had mine. Billy was a beautiful horse and I admire the dedication that you had for him.

TeresaA

That's wonderful to hear!! Good for you.

TeresaA

It's hard- people want to drag you into drama triangles but they are never productive. My only advice is to be so neutral that you are of no use. For example, if someone comes to me to complain about something that another person is done I usually start with 'what did they say when you talked to the...

TeresaA

Thank you! I would really really love a bay colt so would likely get a grey filly.

Not breeding her this year but it is in my mind. She's very well bred and nicely put together.

Kilo now has me thinking of a buckskin.....

TeresaA

The woman who I bought my horse from forwarded an email about her colour genetics: She is Gg (heterozygous for grey) meaning she has a 50% chance of producing a grey foal no matter what the base color is BB, (homozygous dominant black) means she carries 2 dominant genes for producing black pigment A...

TeresaA

Jingling for you

TeresaA

I actually like the b&w one

I love the purple horse and the coloured chorus line one is brilliant.

TeresaA

I am so sorry- what a great loss to his family, friends and community.

TeresaA

congrats!

TeresaA

Oh my god. I love him!

TeresaA

Thank you DJR for your comments. IMHO there are two victims in this- one a a four year old boy that was able to get into the enclosure and the beautiful gorilla that was killed. What makes me very sad is that I understand that both parents were at the zoo with their children but everyone is piling o...

TeresaA

he looks fabulous

TeresaA

I thought that was you! I was wondering how he was going and I'm happy to see that he's doing so well. Also congratulations on your second baby.

I love that last picture- it's adorable.

TeresaA

I had a farrier make a mistake with the shoeing and caused me to have the vet out (trimmed too short and used a shoe with a toe clip). The vet was very clear that the horse couldn't have the toe clips as they caused the issue. He spoke to the farrier about it as did I. I was upset by my horse being ...

TeresaA

When we were shopping for our farm it was a non-negotiable that there would be high speed internet access. There are still many communities that you can just get dial up. So I would say that the ability to sell down the road would be key. Even if they are luddites they will appreciate that there wil...

TeresaA

I am so sorry about the run of luck that you have had. Sometimes life just sucks! I wish I could help with the saddle but I don't have an extra one.

So no real help, just wanting to extend a virtual hug.

TeresaA

Oh that is beautiful!

TeresaA

We had our daughter design a sign for us and then had it carved into wood. A friend of a friend made a wrought iron holder for it (don't have a photo of it but it was a simple square design): https://scontent-ord1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/t31.0-8/1008837_10151889844938593_1993243391_o.jpg

Did you buy your PRE from a breeder? If so, they should be able to help you with the process. Although it was confusing, I didn't have any problems. With the breeder help, it wasn't that difficult. Are you sure the sire and dam were revised by ANCCE? oh yes, they are registered- he sire was Gaucho ...

TeresaA

That's a tough one and it depends on what want to do. For me I would use the saddle pads and halter -it would be nice to remind myself of my old horse while riding my current horse. The brow bands I might keep (to use) or donate to a local schooling show for prizes.

TeresaA

We rented a Chevrolet Traverse in Arizona for our vacation. The headrests were moveable front to back as well as up and down. I really liked the design.

TeresaA

I am so sorry for your loss. Merlin was a beautiful horse.

TeresaA

I am so sorry for your loss. Merlin was a beautiful horse.

TeresaA

What size shoes do you wear? I actually have a pair of shearling lined boots -- dressy, with heels! -- that keep me toasty in cold weather, of which we have little here in California. I can send them your way. oh that is sweet. If I wasn't heading south after I would just bring warm stuff but don't...

TeresaA

She's lovely! Congratulations!

TeresaA

DH's nephew is getting married and we're invited. I wasn't so keen on spending my vacation in Calgary in April at a family event but told him to go ahead. A few discussions later and we decide that we'll both go and after the wedding head south to Arizona for a week. Now that sounds more like it. So...

TeresaA

She is lovely!

TeresaA

With the weather easing up I've been able to start working my mare. Before we started I was noting how calm and cool she had become over the winter compared to last year. As we started working I noticed a change in behaviour. I at first thought that she might be coming into heat but she showed no si...

TeresaA

Oh my. He is adorable!

TeresaA

I agree with Paula. They all seem too 'blingy' to me!

TeresaA

My cross ties have elastic core so that they have some give- I find that helps. I really want the blocker tie rings but haven't been able to find them locally. I prefer ground tying over everything but that said, I trained my horses to cross, ground and single tie. My view is that I may not always o...

TeresaA

I would run away from any business person who sent me an email like this. It wouldn't matter what they were doing for me (or for the seller, I got a bit confused).

TeresaA

So I thought I had it settled. Filled out the form for an Owner's code. Paid more money. Then had to phone to clear up some confusion because i need a Stud farm. I put in where she was bred because I don't have a stud farm. But I need to put in mine. So what the heck, I put in my farm name. I get an...

TeresaA

I saw this and at first thought it was just for Australians. But I realized that it wasn't and submitted my own photo.

It is a beautiful thing to do

TeresaA

Thank you for this. When Steele broke his humorous bone my brain was scrambling for any way that we could save him. I didn't care if he was never more than a pasture pet i couldn't bear the thought of losing him.But I knew that there was nothing to be done and he was in extreme pain. It was a gift t...
