Can he be in a smaller paddock with a buddy for part of the day? Sometimes having extra space to pace and get worked up isn't helpful. Sometimes my mare can get very upset with a chance of living arrangement (and she is always out 24/7, but has been moved to a new paddock or lost a neighbour). Depen...

That's wonderful, what a huge milestone!!

orono

Beautiful, i love the smell of moutain snow!!

orono

Oh ok, Some people use hock boots til to protect the area, but I worry about those causing rubbing or other issues.

orono

You've had him for quite a while now right? A year or so?

orono

What is he bedded with/on?

orono

Can you take a pic? My gelding would get rubbed patches on the outsides of each hock when his stall had a wood floor with shavings for bedding (no rubber mat).

In Canada, I tip 15 for normal service, will go down to 10 if it's exceptionally poor. 18 for very good, 20 for excellent.

orono

Seriously? Sounds like SO had worse manners than your eating.

orono

Great updates, congratulations on your new purchase, he sounds wonderful.

orono

I'm curious to know what's happening with the buyer too! hopefully she wasn't put off by the thread or something!

orono

Honest question...would you be as annoyed if it was someone other than DH's DS?

orono

Flight, don't be hard on yourself! Your horse is going beautifully under you, it will be really fun to watch him develop. Riding is more than drawing lines from riders 'body points' and comparing angles. There has to be balance, fluidity, relaxation, trust, rhythm, suppleness etc etc...His happy and...

orono

I don't think any breed can be a definite yes or no, it really boils down to individual temperment and experience. You want a horse who can be ridden inside or out, alone or with company, handled easily, and they type you can put in the crossties and then drive to town to get a sandwich (not that yo...

orono

I did catch that, beautiful horse! Look forward to the rest of the story!

orono

I researched this quite a bit when I thought my mare had it (was grasping at straws when she had a deep high abscess that neither the vet nor farrier could find). I read that incorrect hoof angle can put strain on the white line, causing it to stretch and leaving it susceptible to the infection. Sin...

That is the slant an article on a Canadian new site portrayed..

I wouldn't turn away or deter a buyer who is willing to go to such lengths to try your horse. She may very well be giving herself extra time in case she needs it, and could make the decision (either way) much sooner. Are you only available to go to the barn in the evening? Does she know this, and do...

I hadn't flown for a few years, I was under the false impression that paying for a ticket ensured I'd have a spot on the plane! Ha! The semi apologetic agent informed me that you can check in for a flight up to 24hrs in advance, and once you do (and select a seat) THEN your ticket is guaranteed. Unt...

orono

He's the cutest thing ever! Good luck with him!!

orono

If you're happy with the Cavallos I would order the same style and size numbers in black.

orono

I think I would resent spending the money, and (right or wrong) I would question or shrug off everything they said. I would have a hard time seperating the 2.

Edited my thread title, I wasn't considering actual ivy (English or Boston, I believe they are both on the noxious weeds list), but a Virginia Creeper or Climbing Hydrangea. I don't believe that termites are an issue here, but will look into it to be sure.

orono

I love the look of climbing vines on houses (so do my kids), we have some brick pillars along the front of the house, in good condition (house is 35-40 years old). I'm thinking of getting some Engleman Ivy to climb them, but don't want to regret it a few years from now. What do you think?

One of my favourite places in the world..we travelled from Santa Monica, CA to Newport, OR with our RV a few years ago. The redwoods were amazing and on my bucket list. Depending on how much you like to drive I would consider starting at either Monterey Bay or San Francisco, both areas are worth vis...

Chisamba, how does Acacia handle 5 laps of the arena, going large? Does she zone out and settle or become more gawky since she is not busy? Same question regarding ultra busy work (lots of quick direction changes etc)..

orono

Mountaineer, how is your collected canter otherwise? I find it really helpful to have a well established collected canter for the transition back into it. When schooling the canter you can ask for more collection than is required, just for a few strides here and there, not to strain the horse or any...

orono

Can you set up a comfortable indoor/outdoor run, so she doesn't have to be crated? At 10 she may be somewhat arthritic and the confinement is making her sore, contributing to her crankiness. I would also try keeping a 6ft leash on her at all times (dragging) so if you do have to 'grab' her you don't...

orono

She sounds extremely green for her age, every horse is different but i've found 'older and green' to be much more difficult than 'young and green'. The video also describes her as 'athletic and forward-going', that *can* be horse ad code for 'spooky and has iffy brakes'. But seeing her in person and...

orono

Sounds good, hope it works out!

orono

What a fun video, nice to see him as a foal!

orono

Try not to worry too much, most horses adjust to having them. When my gelding got the diagnosis it helped me immensely to deal with his spooks, so maybe this will be a step forward and not a step back.

orono

Do you have any with a fuzzy top?

orono

This is a beautiful piece of music in a remarkable setting. I think it's too bad that it's tied to greenpeace & climate change.

orono

I assume it's a reprint/update of her dads book? I have the original, I love it.

orono

She looks good, but you would have to see her in a video, and then in person. 'Ties' can mean a wide range of different things: "Doesn't break cross ties but does shuffle back and forth while being groomed' or 'falls asleep and can be safely groomed by young children'.

orono

This was so enjoyable, thanks for sharing!

orono

Really great progression Chisamba, what would you hope the next picture to show?

orono

That horse appears to have a strong GO button, but it's hard to say from pics.

orono

Good luck!! I was induced for all 3 of mine, it was kind of nice to already be in the hospital for all the stages of labour, vs 'should we go now??". Will keep you in my thoughts!

orono

Yep, you have to go with your gut when you're shopping.

orono

What a fun horse Dresseur, looks like it will be fun (and relatively easy) for him to move up the levels.

orono

Wow, I love her. Beautiful mare, sweet face, and sounds like the perfect temperament and experience. Hopefully you can see (& buy!) her soon! Keep us posted!

orono

Dresseur your horse is stunning and carries himself so well. What level is he schooling it? He looks so confident and relaxed in collection.

orono

I agree Alex, having the 3 resorts with combed beach areas does not infer danger at the waters edge. I would also take the 'no swimming' signs to mean more about water quality and lack of lifeguarding, not that it would be dangerous to put a toe in or near the water.

orono

The image doesn't show in the thread.

orono

Lovely test ElaPe!!

orono

The article about him being gay looks a little sketchy, but even if it's true it doesn't prove anything. Hitler is said to have Jewish ancestry.

orono

Good luck, hopefully there is nothing serious going on.

orono

I'm so very sorry for all involved.
