I am a dressage master, to whom all compare themselves. Therefore, I don't need to compare myself to any others. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :P :mrgreen: Thing is, most people who have any sense know that the greats don't toot their own horns, and usually you need some sense of humility to g...

I was a barn rat. I started at age 11 when I went to summer camp at a dressage barn and then got hooked. I continued taking lessons after the camp and then slowly started staying at the barn to do work, then my weekends were at the barn, then every day after school, then all summer. :lol: :lol: I di...

Lessons would be important to me, so for me, that would be a deal breaker. I would move if it were me. FYI, I am of the "no barn is perfect" camp and I have learned to deal with/tolerate a lot of imperfections. But one of the things I love most is taking lessons and learning and improving,...

Ugh, that feeling of "drop and go" is very disconcerting. Years ago when I was having some issues with my horse, that's what he would do. Pop his shoulder out, drop his back and bolt. Nothing to sit on and no control and I couldn't stop it. I've also been riding as long as you have, so was...

Cookie

Thanks peeps! Looking at the USEF website, it's my understanding that there is a "1 NSAID rule" where you can't have a horse on 2 NSAIDS at the same time. However, with veterinarian permission for things like arthritis, you actually can have a horse on equioxx or bute? I am pretty sure I r...

Hello! A friend of mine wants to take my horse to a schooling show. He (my horse) has an old injury and sometimes needs some previcox to keep him comfy. How stringent do the schooling show officials get about previcox usage? And recognized shows if we're not going for points? Thanks in advance. :)

I was initially diagnosed in 2009. How have stage 4 with bone mets but am responding well to treatment! Hoping to stay stable for a long time!

:lol: :lol: :lol: LOL The loud thing doesn't get under my skin as much as people who talk endlessly about nothing and it distracts my work. I get very anxious when they want to stop in the hallway and talk because I'm busy and I have things I have to get done. There are a few people at my work who a...

A blonde walks into a library. She says to the librarian, "I'd like a burger and fries, please." The librarian, confused, says, "Ma'am, this is a library!" The blonde embarrassed says, "Oh no, I'm so sorry!!!" and then quietly whispers, "I'd like a burger and fries...

I just thought I was super popular all of a sudden.

Without knowing why he needs 24/7 turnout is hard to offer for good suggestions. If its an old injury issue, then fence running wont help If its a inhalation problem, it can be well managed with steaming hay and keeping his stall well ventilated. My horse with COPD did worse out than in, despite th...

Cookie

If he's causing himself that much angst and losing weight from pacing, then I would keep him in more, and slowly transition him to longer turnouts. It may just be too much for him, especially where he is not used to being out so much.

Loser. Playroom. Packers

In some places, you can do defensive driving online. I've done it before.

Jingles that it all works out!

I think absolutely this gorilla's behavior was threatening to the child, and I believe as tragic as it is, the zookeepers were correct to shoot the gorilla. I don't know if the mother was at fault. An onlooker made a statement that the mother was attentive to her child but had other children with he...

Beautiful!

I love cruises! I'm also a bit of an introvert, and I don't find it hard to find space. However, I do enjoy just relaxing, and as such I don't mind the days at sea. My boyfriend and I have a good time just sleeping in, having a lazy breakfast, finding a chair somewhere quiet and reading, going to th...

This seems legit .

I get what you mean, scruffy.

I like Fluffy.
My initial reaction when I saw her was Flopsy, but I thought that was slightly ridiculous, LOL.

It's OK, turns out my package got there in time anyway, so no biggie.

Happy New Year!

Thank you chancellor!

God love you for adopting an older kitty! Congrats Ursala! <3

You're welcome!

Hey, Mountaineer! Thank you so much for my thoughtful Kringle package! I especially love the book on training tricks - it's exactly what I need right now. Thank you, it was very thoughtful of you! And I love the candle - vintage stuff like that is my thing. And the chocolate... can't have too much c...

After staring at this for two days, with not ONE person misbehaving i'm not sure if we're just all holiday-ed out or what or maybe i'm the only one but ... socks was not what i expected when i opened this thread.

Yes.
Or a scarf is OK. Or coffee. Or a gift card.

If you think he celebrates Christmas, ornaments I think are good for anyone, male or female.

Interesting. I have to say at first I thought the same thing about it being hard to call, but after reflection I don't think this is particularly hard to call. First, no two disabilities are ever equal. Para riders within each of those classifications will vary from "just slipped in" to &...

I don't know the rest of your story, but I feel your pain. I did online dating on and off for a long time without success. Honestly, I believed I'd always be single. But then I found my current boyfriend (we just celebrated our 3 year anniversary). Just keep moving forward! You never know, it could ...

Cool!

Chancellor and Sunshine, thank you. :/

Amitybee, bailey, kelo, khall, Kande50, chisamba and silk, thanks for the ideas!

Thanks for the jingles.

khall, How would you teach a horse to fetch?

demi,

Hi guys, I may be taking a break (possibly forever) from riding my horse. I have bone metastases from breast cancer and, long story short, I tried riding for a while but am having pain so I think I may be done, either for the winter or forever... I'm not quite sure yet what I'm doing with my horse, ...

In the whole scheme of life, this is minor... but... My brother. He calls and says, "Hi it's me, give me a call when you have a minute, I want to talk to you about blah blah blah blah blah........................................................blah blah blah........................................

I saw the cutest teeny tiny brown pibble (pitbull) yesterday. She was about 30 lbs tops, and the sweetest thing.

This is my "pitbull" (or, umm, beagle mix)

I like Roz if it suits her personality, and Etty or Etta as well.

What about Lily? or Layla? or Rossi? or Ros?

Count me in too!

I was LaurieB on UDBB. Mid 40's veterinarian (small animal). From Maine but live in Columbus, OH. Rode somewhat seriously as a kid. Had many years out of the saddle, and began riding again in 2004-ish? Have had my pony for almost 10 years. Dimitri.jpg I still suck at riding but am getting better. :l...

Cookie

I joined in 2001 or so? Can't remember my first post. There weren't many online dressage resources (that I could find) at that time, so I began lurking.

Cookie

I'm here, too. Was LaurieB on the other board, though I didn't post much.
