"They" won't. But the rest of us with brains, morals, and a clue what is going on in the world will, and they will continue to show how disgusting they are as she takes down that POS. The people whining about Biden being too old have zero excuse now, and I LOVE how Kamala calls out the POS...

Tanga

I listened to someone who was talking about this this morning. We've all done bad things. We've all done things we regret. We can all do better. we could all be called out as abusers if videoed at the wrong moment. As much as it is so easy to jump on this as abuse, I think it's a an "easy"...

Tanga

khall I know. It's stunning. Everything about him is disgusting, cheating, and lying and they love it. I keep going back to we had to learn how many horrible people there really are. Adding, kind of feeling hopeful with Kamala. I know, how DARE a strong, woman of color, who doesn't take shit run for...

Tanga

NICE half pass, Aleuronx. I forgot, a woman at the barn who has her horse in pasture in mine is a movie director with her husband. Friday we did a barn party and previewed it. SO good. Called Hoof Beats (the name is the worst thing.) It follows three women going for the 2020 Olympic eventing team. G...

And THIS is the biggest issue, isn't it. Ten years ago could you even have imagined that people are this stupid? The lesson we had to learn--a third of the population are immoral, useless, stupid people.

Tanga

Geez. I hope the country can get it's shit together.

Anyone with a brain who can do some good for most people, versus give all of the welfare to the rich and ya'll pull yourselves up by the bootstraps. How can it even be a choice?

Tanga

Oh no, goldhorse! I am SO sorry!

Tanga

Yeah, Khall!

Tanga

I 100% disagree about the choices. I wasn't for Biden when he got in, but he's accomplished way more than I thought he could, and even being faced with a psycho ranting the same inanities over and over, after being befuddled, he went back to detailed facts about what has happened, what can be done, ...

Tanga, so long as i sleep for about two hours or 3 hours, i do well. When i finally sleep for 8 i wake up tired, grumpy and cranky. I am SO jealous! Man. I am at the opposite end of the spectrum from you. I think IF I could sleep a sloid 8, I would be OK, but sometimes 10 s not ev enough. Mountaine...

Tanga

Chisamba--Can you PLEASE share with me your secret sauce for all of your energy? How can you even do that? Ugh. HOT. No AC at home. Literally hosing down the house ten times a day and using fans to cool off at night. And it's only day TWO. Had a show Sunday and I was feeling it was a bit much, and t...

Tanga

Me, and anyone with a soul and brain. Totally terrifying we've gone backwards so much and we have discovered how many downright stupid, evil people there are.

I'm with you on the second statement, too.

Tanga

khall I am so sorry. this is a hard road. That's what I found is that it is cheaper to find a good facility that to try to do 24/7 care in the home, and it's probably better for her. Sad to say, if your mom is like mine, I think it doesn't matter to her because she can't remember. This might help yo...

Tanga

I have discovered, and I hope this helps, I need to sit tall, not back. Sitting tall allows my seat to move with the jump of the stride, sitting back stops the seat from swinging and is like hitting the brake. Yes. This is the way. It can also drop their back and interfere with them if you sit back!

Tanga

OMG, Chisamba! Amazing! I wish I could get this slab of fat off my belly. Just, wow.

Tanga

Good job, Mountaineer. Axel is not a high scoring judge. And I always like to ride under Rogers.

Tanga

She is suffering from depression & anxiety along with her cardiac disease and dementia. In some ways her memory loss [of things she used to do and/or loved] is more of a blessing but her failure to remember to take her medications isn't. Stuff we're all dealing with I know. Makes me even more a...

Tanga

Josette, that is the way I would go. You have to do what you need to do for your horse.

Tanga

Chisamba--That sounds a lot like what I've gone through with Quilla. We got to GP, did pretty well for about a year, and then she got anxious and started anticipating and doing things like stopping. If I tried to push her, esp. in a show, she would rear and capriolle. It got MUCH worse if I tried to...

Tanga

Heddy I'm so sorry. This is always my nightmare with trailering. I've had a few nightmare scenarios over the year (as well as last year's on the way to champs) and it always stresses me out when I trailer. I've done the whole check it out before thoroughly and still had problems. Argh. Good thoughts...

Tanga

We got 5 and 6 on the pirouettes, which were tight, but I cannot decipher was she wrote on both: "don't come in w/hon (or w/hor) lead." Any ideas? All 7's on the last line except a 6 on the passage. I’d assume that means “don’t come in with haunches leading”. THANK YOU. I could NOT figure...

Tanga

Aleuronx Good job on your scores! This was the show two weeks ago. Just getting around to looking at videos. Been having some health issues. Quinn GP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMVjVAWbeGg 60.9% Pretty much agree. The p/p at the start were not good, and a 4 for basically no ones was super gener...

Tanga

Mari Your changes looks great. That's a nice start. He's nice and through behind. The timing and understanding will come through. My leasor who is riding Quilla to get her bronze (only one more 3rd level score needed) is on a fast track learning changes. Quilla is happy to do what she wants. If she ...

Tanga

We had a pretty good show today, too. A longer drive than usual, which I think helps Quinn 'cuz she has time to chill. I warmed her up lightly and did nice one tempis. For the GP it all went pretty well except basically no one tempis (literally, I think we did one) but I stayed mostly relaxed and ig...

Tanga

That is so cool, Chisamba! So fun to have new ones. BTW, if you ever want to come and compete PSG, let me know and I'll lend you a horse. Both seem to be pretty happy with other riders. Show tomorrow with a judge I like, Janet Curtis. We have to drive a bit, but it should be OK. Quinn's GP fs feels ...

Tanga

Off. I watched that. Expert? She's in my area and I've never even heard of her. Olympic hopeful??

Tanga

Chisamba--100% agree

Tanga

Chisamba, I appreciate the discussion and see your point, but that's not what I am talking about. I see the tense baby that you do, but I also see she NEVER gives a loose contact when she clearly can, and notice here as I see regularly in her riding her popping up on the rein to pick up the head whe...

Tanga

Funny how we see things from a different perspective. I see CDJ riding a young anxious horse tactfully, giving him a loose rein and letting him stop and look because he is so anxious and tight. I don't see the rider creating the tightness. Hey if you can take an 4 year old out in a very vibrant sur...

Tanga

Jeese, I'm sorry, Paula. Getting old is rough. Remember me stepping backwards off a stool at champs and the intense wrist pain, and ended up thinking I was riding with a broken wrist for most of the show in a brace and on codeine and tylenol? Luckily a bad sprain, but man. Remember when we used to b...

Tanga

mari--That's the secret. Makes noise that can be interpreted as breathing, clearing your throat, etc., and go along with the normal faces you make. I have seen the CDJ classes. I do like the ideas of being exposed to everything and being out. But I do not like seeing a four year old ridden so up and...

Tanga

Thanks, Josette. I love Clark Howard. I live by him. I wish we could even get to this problem. We had it set up to bring them to a NICE apartment complex right near me where we could all easily access and help, and I found good assisted living options. The idea would be they can live in the apartmen...

Tanga

mari--Yeah, you have to find what you can do. Not being a whistler, I have no range there. I wouldn't "kiss" for go because it's to easy to see and hear when you are showing. Keep that in mind when coming up with something that works. I guess I've always really talked to my animals, so I h...

Tanga

Flight, Aleuronx. Thank you. It's just getting worse and worse. Sigh. Some days I just stay blocked off, and some days I'm gone mentally and emotionally. Flight. The walk-passage transition is SUPER hard. Quinn is good at it. Quilla, eh. To be better in GP, I added add a lot of other cues to maintai...

Tanga

Glad you are all sounding good and making progress. Mari--I just love your spotty boy. From all my years riding, and jumping and teaching it, teaching half seat/2-point was always a standard, and you always do it over jumps. I don't even know how to get into a conversation at the barn with the lesso...

Tanga

Well, things went well at the show. (Life, not so much.) Quinn was getting pretty tangled up in the tempis the day before the show, when she is normally really solid in them, so I was just trying to get them without her skipping them and flinging herself about. I-1 63% https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Tanga

Thanks, mountaineer,. I did not know it was a rebound thing. Glad I'm not worse! I get you on the showing thing at this stage in life--it needs to feel fun. I hope you get to ride with Charlotte. I've known her a long time and really admire her. It's a bummer she doesn't really like judging, so we n...

Tanga

Tanga

I think the you'll see a lot of difference with the shoulder work, straightforward. I like to get in under the scapula and stretch and push her whole neck away, and Quinn LOVES it. And I see a real difference when I ride if I do it or don't. That is a FABULOUS picture. We are working on this same st...

Tanga

SF--I like the video with Leslie. Good improvement. Your mare reminds me so much of Quinn. She can get so tight and tense and does that leg stomp thing. The big change in her has been the scapula neck release and a LOT of work like you did--really up over the back and loose and relaxed and round in ...

Tanga

If anyone wants to join my class, you can. I am SO lucky. Right before shutdown, I gave my email to the best instructor at 24 hour fitness. She is a chiropractor and knows the body well, but also a fitness junky. There is a whole group of us who have been doing Zoom classes for over 4 years. Five da...

Tanga

Kelo--So happy you picked a horse you love. You know what I love? Pictures that show hind legs way under and separated--THAT is a sound, talented horse. Chisamba--Yes, the feelings and stress about mom. We're on four hospital admissions since Xmas (all breathing issues, flu and pneumonia--which she ...

Tanga

I think it sounds like a good idea. I don't know the pony people there, but ponies are the future. And I love the volunteer idea to just get more people involved.

Tanga

SF--I've been thinking about this. I'm going to end up suggesting what I always do--massage. Quinn has had some similarities, and still does when she is tight. The running, pulling down and tight and swapping behind is familiar. It's been about 6 years of trying to figure out how to deal with whatev...

Tanga

I thought we'd be getting more baby pictures . . .

Tanga

Wow, khall. That is big mare and a a long time. I was so lucky Sora was like a clock--337 days for both and I knew, so I invited people. 355 is a lot. It seems spring here (I might have just cursed it) but I think we're past the deep mud phase no matter what. Wind has really dried everything out. Gi...

Straightforward--Cool you did the hoof care workshop. I think everyone should know how to trim. It really isn't that hard. I follow a lot of hoof care pages, so always trying to add to knowledge and do better. It seems to wok OK for me. I''ll watch that video. Ya'll and saddles. I'm happy with my an...

Tanga

It's everywhere, so I haven't been jumping in. Those horrendous videos explain a lot of what we see in the "top" horses. I'm sure most are not abused to that degree, but the fact that we see SO many "top horses" doing the leg snapping, double tapping "piaffe and passage"...
