My experience with it has been that it is associated with discomfort - which certainly doesn't rule out ulcers.

I get where you're coming from, he barely, if at all, tracks up in the extension and in piaffe bounces off the front legs. Looks like a real trier, though, and things take time (especially Grand Prix, LOL).

So Trump doesn't know anything about David Duke and WHITE SUPREMACY (like it isn't self explanatory, at the very least). Um right.

It's hard to tell if she's gaining or is pregnant. She's dropped some pudgy fat and topline, but they may have been feeding them up for higher prices. But what really slays me is here is a horse 8 weeks out of the kill pen, bought at meat market prices. She has papers. I get that she is wild as a M...

He has always been fine with light contact - it's when I take up a firm "working" contact and ask him to WORK where he starts tightening through his jaw. This is what leaped out at me. And that you had been learning about dressage since October. . . The horse may be locking his jaw to pro...

Can we start one? I really enjoy the medium, not just for entertainment, but also construction, provocation and most of all, how DH and I sit out on the morning after and talk about it.

Looking forward to Anomolisa.

Scalia himself said that when he died, half the people would be celebrating and the other half would be fighting over his successor (paraphrasing). I will say that I liked his sense of humor! There was a great interview on NPR this morning with the actor who played him in "The Originalist"...

How's her canter? I ask, not only because they didn't show it, but I rode a Fres/Thor cross for a while that was incredibly unbalanced at the canter. He unfortunately died at an early age of a kidney issue (carried in his particular Fres line), so we never got it really fixed. It may go, somewhat, w...

Here's Jeremy riding with Dietrich, there's also 2 clips of him riding Innsbruck with DvH, well worth watching to see him with this wonderful horseman that had a profound influence on JS. Also, the horses are very different and that's interesting as well.

No, the heart does not need to be beating to help drain out. Gravity does a fine job. Is that the preferred SOP in slaughter houses, though? The heart will speed up the process. I seem to remember a poster from UDBB that did a bit of "processing" for game (deer, I remember). Was that you?

Koolkat

It will, i'm quite sure it is what's used in Canadian slaughter houses as it's considered more humane for horses than the captive bolt. I'm happy to say I'm not an expert on this topic, but isn't the intent to render the animal unconscious rather than kill it? I believe they want the heart beating ...

And I heard a movie review the other morning about a movie called (more or less), "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies".

Koolkat

I would think it would really depend on the passage the bullet took, would it not? No doubt the animal would go down, but it might not die right away. Don't they use 22s in some slaughter houses to drop the animals in order to facilitate bleeding them out? I'm only speculating, but I can tell you th...

I'm glad you were able to be with her in the final journey. I'm sure she was comforted at some level by knowing you were there even though you might not have seen it. Many condolences to you and her loved ones.

Halves, Kathy, I was going to prepare 3 for 4 people. Three fills the pan (although I could look for smaller, too).

Oh Shirrine - it is so hard to raise a foal to a sound, useable horse. The buggers come fully equipped with a built in self destruct button. So sorry you are suffering this terrible heartbreak on top of everything else you've been asked to cope with. Please know we are all here for you.

Bascar, Let me tell you one of many stories from my friend's online dating experiences. She talked to one guy via email for awhile. They seemed to have a lot in common and they agreed to meet at a local mall. He got into her car and proceeded to pull out two bras FROM HIS PANTS that he said he got ...

Very cute.

Looks like her hindend/LS to me, she "tucks" her hindquarters when she has to weigh them and has an odd way of balancing. She also cocks both hind legs, sometimes even with the front leg lifted. The last time the trimmer raises her right front (~ 1 minute), she is licking/chewing before sh...

And what they know they don't know, also: There is a PBS special that involves the intelligence of animals.

I once heard our "community" described as "the place where you get to know your neighbors when their trash blows across your yard".

She had just sold her horse place and was moving to a "street of dreams" neighborhood. . . .

Sometimes I can relate.

Freeway had a fast growing tumor in his jawbone which was spreading to the soft tissue.

He was spared ever relearning what it means to suffer.

I'm sure Quelah will come and share their story and hopefully some of those beautiful pictures of a fat, sassy guy of a horse.

This is not my news, but I don't know if he is still "connected" to this forum so I thought I would link it, so many of his friends are still here. . .

We have 2 removable walls in our 3 stall lineup. Our stalls are smaller (10x12). This was to facilitate a mare w/foal back when I did such things and it worked nicely. The separating walls are dovetailed (strength) and drop into a metal "U"/slot/angle iron (sticks out about 1 1/2 inch) and...

I don't know if Kathy Johnson reads here, I'm not sure I've ever seen her post in this forum - she is active on the Training Forum. I seem to remember her rehabilitating an Arab mare that was sway backed, you may look for advise there.

Thanks everyone for your feedback. The person at Bushell's told me it was made in the 30's (vs. 40's), so perhaps early 30's would be closer to the time when this style was more sought after.
