Luckily, I do not ride with piano hands. But, I do think I sponge the reins more than I should, and my trainer is always telling me to close my fingers. I am working hard to lose the memory reflex of sponging the reins. I do leave my pinky finger quite loose. I need to remember to close it, not tigh...

Hayburner

Thanks,. Keeping loose wrists is hard, that's why I bought the rein aids so that in case I lock or balance on her mouth they have some give. I have one Jane's books also watch some videos. I also am watching the Peter Dove tutorials. He is a proponent of Mary Waynless. It's so hard trying to get eve...

I basically did what you did and my old guy still rubs too. I just cleaned it yesterday and I used a medicated - anti-fungal, rain rot, etc. shampoo....I'll keep you posted to let you know if it helped. I do notice that his tail bone is scaly and flakey....I think I should have used something like a...

What about the rodeo rider piece of equipment? Anyone using this? I have very little time to actually exercise, full time job, house, 2 horses, 6-7 days a week at barn for a good 4-5 hours....by the time I get home at 9:00 pm - I'm just too tired to think about popping in a video and working out.......

Hayburner

Is anyone using the Rein-Aid gadget? I have been using them on my new mare, since I do not have steady/even/elastic hands. I do not have harsh hands, they could even be viewed as too loose. I probably give too much and at times I sponge my reins..UGH...Bad habit... I cannot seem to keep her in the c...

I didn't realize they made multi-vit/mineral supplement. I used their products for many years, loved the service and products. hen all of a sudden my old guy decided he didn't like Flax and he hates anything powdered. I will do a compare of what I have been using, Horsetech High Point and also the D...

Smarpak. 15%

Bit of Britain. Is either 15 or 20%

Stateline 25%. Lots of exclusions tho

I did participate in our community garage sale. It was really way more work than I expected! I went thru my storage room, and all my closets, drawers and kitchen cabinets. Anything that was too nice and new, I sent pics to my sister and she picked what she wanted first. The weather sucked so the tur...

Hayburner

I'd like a quality supplement to replace the one I was using that is now discontinued by Boehringer. It had Vit, minerals, probios and a host of other goodies. Anyone use Dac Orange? Comments? Any suggestions for an all around supplement to enhance the little grain and minimum grass that my mare is ...

Hayburner

17 hours straight ! That's a lot of driving ..in one day...

Have fun on your adventures...

Hayburner

Adorable!!!

Hayburner

My last dog did get cranky and more snippy as he aged. His health was failing, as well as, his vision and hearing. Taking her to the vet to rule out pain, vision, etc. is a good idea. If it's not a pain, etc. issue and she has to spend more time in her crate due to behavior it may be time to think a...

Hayburner

Thanks !

Hayburner

Lovely !

Hayburner

Thanks Canyon - I'll check with her - I hadn't thought of that...though, I kind of doubt it since when I want something done, she tells me to check on-line for a pattern.

Hayburner

From my little experience - If I were you, I'd be looking at a gelding...While I love my new mare, she was unbeknownst to me Pregnant when I purchased her! When she's in "season" - she's a handful for me...and that's every 20 some days for many months of the year! UGH....I really dislike r...

Hayburner

My sister has an embroidery machine and I'd like to get a few saddle pads done and maybe a few towels for my newish mare. I have looked around for an embroidery sewing machine pattern of an Andalusian horse. I cannot find anything nice, not even an emblem ! Does anyone know where I might find a nice...

Hayburner

I too like the bold colored one!

Hayburner

Good thoughts coming your way !!!

Hayburner

If they don't inhabit salt water, why not salt the lagoons or water around areas that are highly populated? Ok, kind of sounds dumb after I typed it, but they need to do something to protect any resort area guests.

I now have no desire to visit FL - well, maybe to take a clinic at Lynn Palm's .

Hayburner

GREAT NEWS - that he has found a new home and that he is shining again....

Hayburner

Do I know there are gators in FL? YES Do I know the extent of how many and where they are? NO My best guess would be the Everglades Would I in my wildest dreams think any would be on Disney resort property or in the parks just hanging around? NO Did I think Disney was a safe place for kids, YES Can ...

I put my old guy on Quissence and Smartpac's Smart Pituitary and his numbers(Lepitan, Glucose and ??) all doubled from his previous test. ATCH was still in a good range, due to increasing from 1 tab of Prascend to 1 1/2. Nothing else changed in his diet! Except to get his glucose in line fast, I sta...

Hayburner

OMG - so sorry to hear this....prayers still going his way...

Hayburner

Thanks, I just got to Big Dees and picked up a second pair. I think they were 24.95. I needed a second pair since they do take time to dry, and I wash my grooming tools everytime I groom, ugh!

My mare loves these gloves!

Hayburner

If good feet and a smooth ride are important, look at an Andalusian. My mates trot is unbelievably smooth! She goes barefoot, and is a nice for me. She's around 15.1 or 2.

Since we both are green she's a bit of a struggle for me, but that's not against the bred just our experience.

Hayburner

Congrats ! He's the best!!!

Hayburner

Good old Italian dressing!

Hayburner

Found a Honey Cool pad on EBay. I haven't tried it yet, but it certainly looks like it would be cool. I do worry the underside is a bit rough, I'm hoping the princess won't put up a fuss.

Hayburner

WOW - I am super impressed with our DDBB members that are so educated and experienced on zoo's and the animals (primates) ! Since I am an animal lover vrs. a people lover I enjoy reading these posts. Let me clarify - I don't dislike people, but many times I prefer the comfort of an animal/pet than d...

Hayburner

My take on the Jane comments. Yes, she's an expert. But, imho not every wild animal or domesticated animal will act/repond to a situation in the same way. Body language says a lot, but it can all change in an instant. Quicker than a bullet! I doubt this woman's daycare business will survive, I know ...

Hayburner

Very pretty mare!

Hayburner

Thanks for all the suggestions, got an email from tack of the day, and they had a descent pair of Ariats for $95.00!

I ordered them. Impulse buy for sure

Hayburner

Mountaineer,

Hayburner

Not that it really matters, but how many children did this woman have with her?

If nothing else, I pray she learned a valuable lesson from this tragic for all experience.

Hayburner

Just a sad situation all around. IMHO. The zoo was damned if they did and damned if they didn't. You can have the best fencing/security in place, and yet something can still go terribly wrong. As for the mother, yes, she wasn't controlling her kid, but little ones are quick and she had a few in her ...

PaulaO - Before I read your entire post - I thought boy, if PaulaO lived closer she could ride the princess - then I laughed when I say your last sentence....great minds DO think alike.....

Hayburner

Thanks Canyon - I didn't realize Tony Lama made a paddock boot. Now that I'm searching around a bit - I am finding a few more companies than Ariat...

Hayburner

Well, when I bit the bullet and bought another horse to ride - I certainly bit off way more than I expected. Princess Daisy (as I call her) needs 5 (lessons) rides a week!! I now have no social life! While I totally enjoy my barn time, riding, etc. I find I have to really schedule everything around ...

Hayburner

Thanks for the responses Josette - Unfortunately, I cannot find a dealer in my area that stocks the paddock boots. So, I would be taking a chance buying from DIvoza. Straightforward - I think I tried the Blundstones on in the past, and I didn't like the chunky feel, compared to my Ariats. I also cou...

Hayburner

I don't fasten it too tight, I leave 2 fingers at the cheek area as my guide Tho this bridle has a crank, can you also leave them on the loose side? Or due to the design do they have to be "cranked" tight? If so, it's going back. My girl does have a more refined face so it might look too b...

Hayburner

Is a wider nose band more gentle than a slim one?

I found a nice Crown brand bridle and the nose band is wider than my old Stubben, and it's padded, will it be more comfortable?

Hayburner

I need new paddock boots and since I like my Petrie tall boots, I saw the paddocks on the Divoza site. I have not found them on a USA site. The price of the boots is reasonable, even less than some of the I have never ordered international, is the freight and any duties high? Or is it worth the fees...

Hayburner

Omg! My mare would have had a major meltdown and God only knows what else could have happened! Good for you to think quickly and apply the forward aids and staying calm throught this episode. I would have done the opposite, pulled back and want to bail off. I am a timid, defensive rider. I have to a...

Hayburner

Can you attach pics?

Wonder if this model would work on a shortish backed Andalusian?

I'm 5'2 so the short flaps would be an advantage for me.

Hayburner

You may find an answer on the website thathomesite.com

The site was taken over by Houzz - but, I still log at the above site.

Super Cool ! When the original UDBB closed - I found COTH - I did see their Lost Horse post and thought it was a great idea....

Very nice! And you are doing it by yourself, that's something to be very proud of.

Viscountessleftfield: No - I've not been to the Big Dee's yet. Now, you have me excited to get there....I only hope I have time while I'm there (visiting family). They usually aren't too happy when I want to do anything "horsey"....LOL Sadly, I missed the Columbus Equine Affaire this year,...
