I have used some of the "Cholesterol" products found in the Ethnic Hair Care aisle. Queen Helene is one brand I think. It comes in a jar. Use it like a mask - really seems to work.

THis guy comes to our local art fairs. His work is really nice. http://www.thehairy-potter.com/

Lou Petty is in Ocala and does great work. Some of my friends have her work - it is beautiful and seems to hold up. http://loupetty.com/

I joined the free "prepare your horse for flying changes" course. I have not listened to the live events on FB, but have used the exercises. My horse KNOWS the change, and has done 2s with a trainer.... I use the exercises in warmup. They help horse become more symmetrical because , doing ...

Anyone here use Daily Gold? Do you give both scoops at once (in one feeding) or do you split it up? TIA

I traveled with The Sierra Club. It was an amazing experience. 15 in the group, all with similar goals - no one was checking it off the life/bucket list. One clue - don't fall for the "sailboat/yacht" trips. The islands are too far apart and you will motor between them even in a sailing ya...

Lorilu, your friend was judging at C. She could have eliminated the rider early on forthe one-hand whipping. Why didn't she? And you know what? I am NEVER going to ask her. She is a GOOD judge who goes to more continuing ed than required. She is a POPULAR judge who scores rides fairly without bias....

I finally made the leap about 4 years ago and am now competing 4th. I have a great trainer and a very kind horse helped me move to Second and another horse is teaching me now (first horse did not/could not was ruined for) changes. A few years a go I wrote an article for our club NL called "ride...

Just a heads up. After the recent video, there is a renewed effort to create a qualifying system to move up the levels. SOme here were involved in beating down an earlier effort to do this a few years ago - the proposal was severely flawed. Data collected at that time might come in handy this year.....

I recently had a conversation with a friend about this. She has a general lameness "review" with her vet every year - vet has one of the new "lameness locator" toys. This year, he wound up getting injections NOT where she suspected but in other joints - and the change was immedia...

Linden16 please check in with us. How are you doing? WHen my parents passes within 11 months of eachother, I found that the busy work of settling the estates provided a solidity that I needed. But the first holidays were so hard. I felt - abandoned? - even though I have a brother I am close to, and ...

Right now I am struggling with MY aids for the flying change. Reading this, I wonder if the new outside hind is not getting the message because I am not "grounding" it enough with my HH - and most likely I am leaning into the new inside, compounding the issue. Hmmm making me think. And I r...

lorilu

Me too!! Working on 4-1...... and 4-3 seems SOOOO far away!
Good Luck!!

silk that was me that started the topic on Jillian's FB page. I had just ridden with her in November and we were working on some different things prepping for piaffe with Rip. I shared with her the exercises that Mark showed me with Rip that made such a difference. Rip had to be shown how to elevat...

Those of you who are skeptics and think vets should be able to "see" the lameness - DO you believe in X-rays? (Why can't the vet palpate the area?) Do you believe in Thermography to find subtle inflammation? (Why can't the vet feel the heat?) WHen you r child has a fever, do you use a ther...

Volunteer to help with a local schooling show to get a taste. Ask a local recognized show if you can "shadow" the office.

Chancellor, driving is just like eventing. There is a dressage phase (same expectations as ridden dressage), Cones (timed course of gates to maneuver through) and Marathon - timed with BIG cross country type obstacles. Very exciting.

I am going with a tour group (I have travelled with them beofre). Didn't want the hassle of distant hotel rooms , driving and parking..... etc etc. Besides it's always a nice group and we have dinners and "activities" planned..... Equestrian Tours LLC

Get to know an Iberian horse. They LOVE people. (stereotype but true for the three I have owned/own, and others I have known.)

lorilu

I would follow your gut, because when the shit finally hits the fan (resident does something against rules, etc etc..... or something happens that costs the assoc. $$, or heaven forbid a lawsuit fo some sort (seller doesn't get offers because of dysfunctional board?).... you will be part of the boar...

So sorry. Lou Petty makes fabulous jewelry. A few friends have had necklaces made and they are not only beautifulbut they seem to be lasting weel! She also makes some of her own silver fittings..... http://loupetty.com/

Very useful and timely thread for me. Great ideas thanks all. the HP-LY-HP has really helped my guy get off his left shoulder. One thing that has helped me is realizing that the outside rein really does control the angle of the line I am traveling on. ALso, I was asking for too steep and/or too much...

lorilu

thanks. Boy shorts and long line "control" types seem to be the ticket. I'll look for the chaffing relief powder gel!

lorilu

I've never had that problem but I don't have a narrow twist saddle. I ride in cotton jockey high cut. I'm interested in what saddle you bought and what problems it fixed. I sent you a PM. Short version, floating left leg and could not sit the trot.... discovered I was sitting a tiny bit diagonally ...

lorilu

I have been riding in microfiber thongs for many years. Until now. New saddle with narrower twist has corrected SO MANY of my position issues.... except ....... I am getting very irritated right along that ligament where your thigh meets your crotch - right where most undies end. The boy shorts I ha...

lorilu

thanks. good ideas and logic.

lorilu

Thinking I should get some mirrors. They are ridiculously expensive as we all know. What is the minimum you would want, and where would you put them?
TIA

lorilu

Thanks, Chantal. SOmething seems to be clicking recently, maybe reading all the suggestions is having an effect....... I am going to try the pointing belly button idea.

WOnderful! Thanks for sharing!!

Chisamba that's funny.... my core is strong. Just don't know what to do with it! Is it little crunches below the waist?

Facebook begins enforcing ban on animal (horse) sales and adoptions Facebook has begun flagging and deleting ALL animal sales and adoption posts in ALL groups - not just the marketplace. If you are concerned about this - if you think this is wrong - I encourage you to sign the petition, and write to...

Dresseur, wonderful and helpful posts. thanks.

Hi everyone! So today I finally diagnosed what is happening with my sitting trot - I am getting left behind!! THis was not an issue with former horse - but today, one handed reins and one hand on the pommel, I figured out why I have such a hard time sitting Bravo's bigger trots. I wind up behind the...

Have you tried Horze Grand Prix? They are higher rise, substantial fabric, nice wide waisteband...... and knee patch are under $100

I have been practicing yoga at least twice a week for about 6 years. I am MUCH more flexible and much stronger than when I started - although I would not call myself accomplished at yoga at all. We often sweat in class - and the opening and closing sequences are a lot like work - but the flow in the...

Sending best wishes!

I know this is an older thread, but wanted to add that a few friends swear by the Shockemole bonnets - they made a big difference in at least three horses I know.

lorilu

Now that I have my boys at home, my goals are: Bravo: continue refining my skills at Third - especially getting consistent changes. Problems are ALL mine - Also work on SI-Medium_SI at trot to work on not only the transitions but sitting the medium as well. Sign up to show at schooling show in Feb. ...

lorilu

thanks all. thinking of fencing off a bit of field, but frankly I do not have an area that is not grassy pasture. Grass here in N Central Fl doesn't die all the way back but does turn brown after the frosts (first real one this weekend) and of course does not hardly grow at all. FOr those of you who...

My horse is an easy keeper. He currently lives 24/7 out in a pasture with very poor grass, and gets lots of nice alfalfa hay. WHat are the health implications if I move him to a place with greener pastures (Bahia grass)? (I am thinking of moving him to my own property.) I do not have a sacrifice pas...

lorilu

Nice idea for those of us who show - a simple one with horse name , breed, and contact name and phone info line - with a hanging cord.
Breed brand, photo, etc possibly added.

lorilu

Many jingles for solutions to the pain problem and solutions to everything else!! What a ride you are having!! Hugs to you as well!!

lorilu

I dont have one, but I suggest you try facebook..... it reaches far and wide!!

Love the "webber" type. I have a pair of Bates and a pair of Prestige. Both lovely.

lorilu

LOL. I have decided to just send mine back and she will exchange them for a pair of the high waisted ones - they only have "regular" microsuede seat.... the black and leopard as well!!

lorilu

Thank you!

lorilu

I just received a pair of Buckwild breeches. Love the fit and fabric - but they are seriously sticky. Too sticky for me. https://www.buckwildbreeches.com/
I will say they have great customer service too.

lorilu

Is satellite an option?

lorilu

Thanks Chi. I am pretty sure it's the Dex, as she gets the others rather regularly.
Since she lives out 24/7, I am not sure about water intake......
