Glad she is getting better each day. She should never ride that mare again. I doubt if, even when she is better physically, she will want to swing a leg over.

LeoApp

I have wonderful memories of staying at Chancellor's and going to a UDBB get together. While there, I met Scruffy and Thursday Next, and mwatikns, Val, and several other UDBB members whose handles I don't remember! That was a fun time and I wish I lived closer. I didn't usually take part in the gift...

LeoApp

Hello and welcome! I love your Hanoverian girls!

LeoApp

He is adorable.

LeoApp

Best of luck with her!!

LeoApp

I rarely ride in the arena anymore. I am a dyed-in-the-wool trail rider and believe me, I have experienced some pretty intense things! My partnership with the horse and our shared trust is what really keeps us safe. You really need to trust your partnership with your horse. If you have a good relati...

LeoApp

Sounds like a perfect match! Take it slow with him and enjoy him. He looks so sweet.

LeoApp

So cute! Looks like she is ready to shed out and you could have what looks like another small animal on the ground by the time you were done!

LeoApp

What a bad boy. Sounds like he needs at least some ground work to establish that you are, in fact, the boss of him and not vice versa!!
Hope you are feeling a bit better today.

LeoApp

Considering 9 Russians in the dossier have been killed in the last 3 months, yeah, I think there is truth in there.

LeoApp

He's a beauty! I love your husband.

Hope Osiris feels better soon. That is a very god-like name for a very god-like creature.

LeoApp

My gelding never dropped, except partially only when he peed, and never any other time, for the 19 years I had him. It was just his preference and he lived a long and healthy life.

LeoApp

Aww. So sorry to hear it. One of my favorite horses that I never met. That is how old my horse was when he passed too.

LeoApp

Everything is just totally encased in ice. A few inches of snow, followed by lots of sleet and rain, followed by temps in the teens. Lovely.

LeoApp

LeoApp

It has shifted. Blizzard warning has been taken down now but we are getting a lot of sleet and freezing rain. And high winds. So not a picnic, but not two feet of snow.

LeoApp

jingles!!!!!!!!!!

LeoApp

You have to look hard at trusts. They have both pros and cons and they are not for everyone. Of course you would be discussing this sort of thing with an estate attorney so don't ask me for specifics of the pros and cons because I don't remember!

LeoApp

Previcox worked well for my horse.

LeoApp

Your weight is affected by your diet about 80%. 20% exercise. From what I have read, if you keep up with weights you should have the same muscle mass as you get older as you did when you were in your 30ies. You really have to work at it though, or you will lose it. Gaining 20 pounds in a short amoun...

LeoApp

In NY probate is cheap and quick. Even if you don't have a will, there is a succession defined, so you don't need a lawyer to declare you an an heir. For instance, if you only have one parent left and there is no will, and then that parent dies, you and your siblings are the heirs. Everything that h...

LeoApp

I tired polyglycan on my horse when he was about 31. Didn't do a thing for him.

LeoApp

You know we are all pulling and jingling for you!

LeoApp

Two thirds done! Woo hoo! At least you know it's working.
Jingles that the last third goes quickly and no more hospital visits!

LeoApp

I am so sorry for your loss. If you had discovered the problem earlier, there probably wouldn't have been anything you could have done anyway.

LeoApp

She was going to be replaced anyway by the next AG - who will probably be - shudder - Jeff Sessions. I guess she figured she would say what she thought needed to be said because her days were numbered anyway.

LeoApp

I don't personally know your horse, but - this is just me - I would not trailer a horse that age 4 hours one way for a weekend of lessons. He may be fit but he is still an older gentleman. You checked with the vet though, so you did your due diligence. No judgement from me on that. It's just not som...

LeoApp

Such a pretty horse. I love the head shot the most.

LeoApp

Nice. Very cool!

LeoApp

No shavings, no wraps - actually I never put anything on my horses's legs for trailering. I had a stock trailer with nice rubber matting. It's easier to hose out the trailer than it is to sweep out shavings, IMO.

LeoApp

Totally amazing and awesome!!

LeoApp

A horrible tragedy. Unthinkable. But it is right and good to remember them. Here's to the ones that were so loved. Their loss will always be felt. All we can do is keep going and try to replace the sadness with good memories.

LeoApp

That is pretty scary.

LeoApp

I read that the risk of kidney failure occurs if the horse is on bute or previcox.

LeoApp

I really really really hate when it snows and then it rains and then the temps don't get above freezing. So far over here on the East Coast we have had a warm January but Feb is supposed to be colder than normal and snowy.

LeoApp

My friend's horse just got this treatment for navicular bone cysts. I am sorry no one responded to your question. Now I want to know too!

LeoApp

You're a riot! Congrats!

LeoApp

And anyone who has been owned by a horse already knew this.

LeoApp

Vultures flock together outside of mating season. It was probably just a flock moving through the area.

LeoApp

My GMC had power windows, daytime running lights, a CD player, headlights that went on automatically when it got dusky, a bed liner and a locking tonneau cover. So for sure they are out there. Somewhere!

LeoApp

Well, no one has mentioned a GMC Sierra, but I found a model year 2000 used one in 2002 with low miles and absolutely loved it. It was a 2500HD 4x4 with an 8 foot bed and a V8 6.0L gas engine. It hauled my 2 horse bumper pull with dressing room like it wasn't even back there. Awesome truck.

LeoApp

I would like to try it, but I think it is too expensive and I already belong to a gym I really like. Yes, you can hurt yourself pretty badly, but I think that goes for anyone doing anything - even yoga. If you do it incorrectly you can do a lot of damage to yourself. It's a little bit too cultish fo...

LeoApp

If an instructor is making you do endless 20m circles, you need to get a new instructor!
In the meantime, I love you that are enjoying her. When/if you feel like taking lessons, jump in and have fun!

LeoApp

Chisamba wrote:To me unwillingness to lower head significantly points to neck.

Yes totally agree.

LeoApp

It is really beautiful and I think you will be happy with those choices that you made in the long run.

LeoApp

Congrats and enjoy her! She looks like a good, sturdy horse that will become a wonderful partner for you.

LeoApp

I am so sorry for your loss. I lost my horse Apollo one year ago at the age of 33. I also had him 19 years. He had a stroke so he was not suffering, which was a small blessing. But I cannot talk about him without crying, one year later. So cry. It is so hard to lose our wonderful partners and compan...

LeoApp

These photos make me smile. And of course I am always a sucker for those spots!

LeoApp

So sorry for all of your losses.

You know we all understand.

The barn looks great and so do the boys.

LeoApp

Good boy Fergus!!!
