He looks BIG but what a sweet face! Enjoy your new partner!

Catching up on these threads. Chisamba - Acacia is a beautiful mare - lovely pics. Trying to get straight all the horse names here.

Horrible humidity here today - maybe some thunder storms headed our way soon.

Josette

Don't forget to cross-check against AMAZON site for a particular brand/size. Some sellers there offer free shipping and free return.

Josette

Dramamine is my friend.

Josette

Thanks for these details. These prices are insane and I'm going to look for something less expensive. I simply want to take some decent pictures, video short rides, maybe access email. Getting map directions or access to trip advisor for places to eat when we travel. :roll: DH has an android phone w...

Rosie - love your photo! Reminded me of many years ago as a 4-Her riding at our Fair grounds. All the noisy amusement rides were next to the horse rings with all that noise and activity. Plus we had to cross a highway bridge to get over a multi-lane highway from the barns to the fair grounds. I look...

I'm planning to purchase an apple iPhone 6s model. The prices are crazy expensive so I looked on ebay. My phone carrier is Verizon (FIOS package). I see some of these new iPhones are listed as Sprint or AT&T. Does that mean I can't convert to my carrier or it will be some headache to do so?? htt...

Josette

oh my - he sure is handsome under all that hair! You did a great job! Enjoy your lesson and riding again.

Josette

This response is not meant to offend you - but have you considered a "special riders" program in your area? It would get you back in the saddle and prepared for when you go to visit any horse you are interested in purchasing. Also, such programs may know of a horse with the temperament req...

Josette

Wishing you an easy surgery and uneventful recovery. WOW - I will say you have beautiful views around you - looks very restful. Here in NJ - I can't wait to flee the building.

Josette

If they are what you really want/like then they may be worth the shipping. In the past, I had purchased Pikeur breeches from a Euro seller and shipping ran around $30-35 dollars. However, her prices were really reduced compared to any I found state side. I only ordered the style/size I knew would fi...

Josette

Thanks for all your feedback. It has really helped me understand and narrow down the different Kindle products - so many to choose from. It think the Kindle Paper white will be my choice for an eReader. I already have a chromebook for internet stuff. Thanks!!

Josette

Prestige saddle are beautiful quality saddles. I'm familiar with the older models which didn't work for me. Probably issue with the twist being too wide which caused me hip pain - petite rider.

Josette

PaulaO - Thank you for that link. There is a drop off near me!

Josette

Beautiful foals! Poor mare being so stressed.....

Josette

Oh my - the options are over whelming. I'm thinking maybe I would get a reader device now. That Kindle Paper white sounds interesting. I like to read in bed so the chromebook is not sounding comfortable - about 12-13 inches. I think what I will need to get use to is the constant page swiping because...

Josette

Another question - if I already have a Chromebook can I simply download a Kindle App as my reader? Use my Chromebook instead of buying another device?

I am buried in books that I need to donate somewhere and am considering a Kindle type reading device. I admit to really liking the feel of a book but the clutter and getting rid of them is getting to me. I've seen some readers in the Barnes/Noble store - I think they were Kindle. Can anyone explain ...

Josette

I'm looking to replace my leather covered nylon stirrup leathers. I love that they did not stretch out like previous stirrup leathers. The leather is now peeling but they are still usable just ugly. They are normal width about 1 1/2 wide like traditional leathers. I had seen seen some Prestige leath...

Josette

Kelo - I totally agree and believe many others feel the same. I read some comments about this terrible tragedy on the other board. IMO - these courses are suppose to be challenging but should NOT be so extreme that riders and horses are killed riding them.

I don't call that cowardly I call that being sensible! Totally agree. Its smarter and safer to use those times and situations that will have a positive outcome. Avoid those situations which may cause a major setback IMO. Chimsamba - you know Deneb best by now and it's obvious you have made progress...

Josette

Awesome NEWS!!

Josette

So far, i think we will do a day trip to Cape May and visit their zoo. I have memorial plaques there. Beautiful zoo. Maybe hit Smithville Village on the way down. I'm feeling too pressed for time for any short flight trips. My big bucket trip for this year will be late Aug/early Sept to National Red...

Josette

Kathy - my goodness you are a diverse rider! Previously saw you on a huge long horn steer if I recall! Great job for a first ride on a mule!

As always - love the pics!

Josette

Like!! Very cool design and layout.

Josette

Visited St Michaels MD last year. I may just do a day trips somewhere or stay home and ride on a sunny day. Considering the Bronx zoo or the Botanical Gardens....

Josette

Who would have thought this in 2016.

Josette

DH suggested we do a short get away (3-5 days) before he starts new job. Frankly I'm exhausted and can use a break from work. However, I'm coming up blank as I don't want to come back more tired. I was thinking of DC until I checked that the Smithsonian dinosaur exhibit is closed until 2019! I'd nev...

Josette

Maybe a stupid suggestion but would you consider asking Dr Phil about this issue? It doesn't sound like MIL will give this guy up. I'm so sorry for the stress this is causing you. I agree child safety is #1 but now how not to make a scene to upset your son.....

Josette

That is one alpha rooster! I remember a large white leg horn rooster as a kid who would chase and spur us. MEAN BUGGER!

I haven't owned an iron or board in years...

I think I have 2 irons in my linen closet for over 20 years. No way do I have time to iron. Items must be wash and wear for me too.

Josette

Yes - I never had any issues with wool sheepskin pads and used them on long trail rides in the summer. The foam between the pad layers were the problem pads.

Josette

No more foam pads for me - way too hot for horse's back. I've used thick cotton pads from this company and they last forever.

Tuddy - rainbows!

Josette

Kande50 - once you hand over the money in many circumstances it is non-refundable. Sometimes the rider has to make the decision that the clinic lesson may be a negative experience. I would do the same and walk out on a clinician given the wrong circumstances.

Josette

I totally agree with what Flight said. You have a lovely pony and are way too hard on yourself. I'm thinking at times when your pony doesn't canter is because she feels you unbalanced - so she trots to take care of you. Maybe have your instructor ride her in place of a lesson - to get your pony more...

Josette

I'm so sorry you had a bad experience. This is the ugly side of the equestrian sports. I say go ride and enjoy your horse.

I'm so sorry. Thank you for all you did to help her.

Josette

I've never been to Houston (airport doesn't count). However, they recently had horrible floods. Weather.com has a video of horses trapped in the flood. I couldn't watch it.....

Josette

My guy did that once in the beginning with my instructor too. She had a discussion with him and so far he has never done it again. I think we have finally passed the stinker stage.

Josette

Sorry for the confusion - what I meant was I was trying to see the sex of the baby and guessed it was a filly too.

(yes - I know young animals can be bred.)

Josette

OMG - what a gorgeous foal!! My eyes are bad - did the filly have a filly? Like mommy like baby with that broad blaze!

Josette

I hear you about color. I have 2 pairs of bright Pikeur breeches - bright red and tropical ocean blue. The rest are boring.....

Looking at what you have available the Nutrena brand has good reviews for special care feed.

I am in agreement with your observations. Different circumstances when I purchased my guy who had been passed around. Very stressed and uncontrollable strong when ridden in the ring - border line bolter when he became fearful. Brain shut down with fear and ignored the rider. Some where in his past h...
