When I put one on the catch ride drag me around school horse I'm occationally on, she got a lot softer and allowed me to use much lighter contact. my hands aren't different, so I'm thinking it keeps her from plowing through my hands. As soon as I added it, within 2 rides she began to soften and lift...

Ky. bourbon is the best! I'm from Cynthiana, just north of the Horse Park, I can drink some Bourbon. I'm there Friday and Sat. how can we find, and recognize each other?

Does anyone have any advice on seat selection in the stadium on Friday for the dressage ? I'm getting tickets and can't tell from the diagram, they all look about the same. Covered would be nice if it rains, but if it's cold, and it can be, sun is better.
Suggestions?

Orono, I always had to have lower cuff ski boots, even when I was 20 lbs lighter. Never had it called low calves!

I have trouble keeping my lower leg quiet when there is no horse down there to lay it on.

You would need to be from SC to know how little we think of her here.

Josette,I've done that. My measurements are within the wide size chart range , but when they arrive, I can't get them on. I've been to some good tack shops with the same results.

Love to know what you think of it. I took several clinics with Mary Wanless and it remade my riding. the format looks interesting.

My old Ariats are 8.5 wide calf, and they fit fine then, but now I can't pull them on. I thought about having zippers put in them, but until they are opened, I wont know if the foot still fits me, so it's a gamble. Even 1/2 chaps don't have my size, the measurements look ok on the size charts, (16.5...

question, I'm catch riding something that size . Where do you put your lower leg? I end up either reaching back or twisting my knees until they hurt trying to make contact. Any suggestions? He is CUTE! I enjoy that personality, I rode one that always checked to see who was driving EVERY time I got o...

I've been away from riding for several years and am shopping for new tall boots. In the past I had a super pair of Ariat Monaco's with the stiffner up the back, no zippers . The leather in those was firm, they fit snugly and riding in them was like having better educated legs ! Now I am shopping and...

Have any of you gotten these? I am a hard to fit short legs with wide calves, and the Fuller fillies are butt ugly. I would like some like those old Ariats that were made of firm boot leather. I don't ride often any more and can't get into my lovely tall boots. I was thinking , sell the tall Ariats ...

If it's mosquito bites, why is this the only horse out of a dozen that looks like this . Others have regular rainrot, some are clean skinned

oh, yes, on the 11 PM news just now, in NC today, we have a 2yr old dead from a shotgun blast, gun was on the coffee table at the babysitters, not quit sure how the gun went off by it'sself, since guns don't kill people, people kill people, or what ever the gun nuts think this week. I am so disgusted.

When I am leaving for several days on a girl trip, my DH will need to' just run out to the store' , and be gone when I need to drive away. It took me forever to realize it was his anxiety about being left. He needed to leave first, so that he was not who was 'left'. One I understood that, it made me...

NOT my horse, not my farm, just drop in and add some info when it's accepted. The hair doesn't seem disturbed, when she washed him yesterday, they hair laid down slick all around these lumps and they were alarming, they stood out so abruptly against the flattened wet hair. All lumps are on his back ...

I'm voting for a vet call, but own...
