This is something new that has been gaining ground since, unfortunately, Valegro won the Olympics at 9. (I thought he was way over scored there.) Now we regularly see 8 and 9 year olds at the "top" of the world, and a lot of them seem to be Charlotte Dujardin's, though there are many other...

Tanga

Oh wow. Yeah. I heard that was the most expensive place in the country. There are MORE expensive places (like across the bay in Woodside, like Akiko Yamaguchi's place) but this is the more expensive local. I don't understand why pasture board there is so expensive. It's usually have of stall board b...

piedmontfields - As I shared before we just ate a $100 increase. Same as you heddy that is the largest one-time increase I've ever had to manage. And this is after a $50 increase back in October last year. I will now be paying $825 for field board, which contrary to it's name is not a field at all ...

2nd show all year on Sunday. FEI test and freestyle with each. For Quilla, we will NOT stop in piaffe! For Quinn, just more relaxed and quicker from behind. One more show end of July so I can do AA champs. with Quinn at PSG and I-1, and then just get in another GP and freestyle with Quilla. For me, ...

Good for you Mountaineer. I bred and raised Siamese for 35 years. I hope they're at least 12 weeks and have their two 4 in 1 as well as leukemia. I know a lot of skeevy breeders who try not to give leukemia, making up lies. The truth is most don't do it because that shot costs about 4 times as much ...

Chisamba--Show 4th!!! Pshaw with waiting until you've got it all "down." If if you think you have, it's all gone at the show anyway!

If this doesn't cause EVERY decent person to vote and get out all of these son of a bitches NOW, I don't know what will. No knock warrants for anyone within 100 miles of the coast, tax dollars for religious schools, no licence for concealed carry guns, no rights for women.

Tanga

Aleuronix Thanks for the video comparison from the day before. Yes, it looked better, but it's still a VERY lateral canter which really should get a 5 because it's almost two beat, so averaging gaits maybe a 6.5, but not a 7. I don't know what they score like there, but around here to get a 7 on gai...

Tanga

Aleuronx Nice ride. Feedback from me on the gaits as a judge (I have another show to judge next weekend)--it's the canter. It's very lateral. Her lengthen trot is really nice and you see the nice trot when you are going forward after the canter, but it needs more forward before--maybe post? (I can h...

Tanga

OMGaia, I count ALL of the time riding, for everything. I always have. It keeps the rhythm and the timing and makes my body clearer to the horses so they know "when." Ready set go walk. One two three canter. One two three collect. I have just been working on basics. I can't afford to show ...

Tanga

Just a thought. How about aloe vera? I have been experimenting with drying it and feeding it to them for just such issues with digestive systems. Dried aloe is cheap. Also, maybe some stevia in it to sweeten it up a bit? I am giving my older mare turmeric to see if it helps with her arthritis, and i...

Pete Ramey's book is good. The best facebook groups are https://www.facebook.com/davidlandreville.onthevertical, https://www.facebook.com/groups/215470472280264 I really like Oda Barhuf, too. When Pete Ramey stopped doing his page, she was one of the people I followed. She has a group I can't find r...

Both heels are WAY too high, though the left is worse. The x-ray looks fine. But now it would probably show a completely broken angle. Honestly, I would take those shoes off and and time every few weeks to slowly get the angles better. If it come down fast, that will also cause problems. I guess the...

Tanga

Wow, LSP. His Nov. foot the heel bulbs look swollen. The last photo, the heels were low, but the line at the coronet band is more straight. The more recent one is just insanely high. Here is one of the FB pages I follow and he's talking about how this horse's heels are way too long, and it's not nea...

Tanga

That is just wrong. I have mine barefoot and trim them myself and follow all kinds of trimming and shoeing pages. That's one of the worst heels I have seen. I don't even know how you can get it like that. My older mare has one clubby foot and it's not even close to that. Is it the same on all feet? ...

Tanga

I have no idea what I'm looking at, but I think a large number of us probably have a lot of scary things in our xrays. I'm 58. I take an over 50 multivitamin every day and some other things. I also do my Zoom exercise class 5 days a week with a chiropractor who is wonderful about ever quite doing sa...

Tanga

Wow, goldhorse, I'm so sorry. Seems to be the season for things. Seems like half my barn has horses down for one thing or another. Mine are good, though I'm bleeding money taking care of the cat who is OK, but had some kind of infection, and the old dog who managed to rip off his back paw pad while ...

Tanga

Thank you Tanga. THAT is certainly the plan. Do you know Molly Martin? She moved here from Washington (so I'm told). I might be riding with her this weekend. It's my observation that she's helped a couple of locals with their FC challenges. Hoping to get similar help if it all comes to fruition. I ...

Tanga

Nice test, exvet. I really like your mediums--his poll stays high and his nose goes out. His SI, travers are also very consistent. Once you get those changes you'll really bump your scores up.

Tanga

I know many people who might be interested. Who are you on FB?

Tanga

I am SO stressed by this evil I don't know what to do (and I am fine personally) I just want to hide. I also angry at these evil POS's. Hopefully what this is ends up being good, marshaling most of the country, which is mostly moral and good, to vote out these POS R's and take over the country. The ...

Tanga

Nice to know the whole country is suffering from the worst allergies ever! Yeah, exvet, I figured I have three (of six) cats that have allergies because we all start having issues at the same time. Good thing I bought three air filters with cleanable air filters after the fires two years ago so at l...

Tanga

Like your rides, exvet. What are you getting on those "changes?" Moutaineer, well, it feels OK, and my lip has swollen more evenly, so now I look like bad lip plumping on just my upper lip. I'm feeling lucky, though. If I had hit my chin or nose, I think it would be much worse. It's just a...

Both of my young ones always stand with one hind foot resting. I have been obsessing about it, but I think it's just a habit, like we cross out legs one way. It might be a little discomfort. So, I just try to work on evening them out by asking them to stand straight, some leg stretches and pulls, an...

Tanga

Nice scores exvet. I love your pony. Demi--That does sound like a nice horse. And wow, kidney stones. Those are supposed to hurt a lot. Are they getting rid of it? Man, speaking of tack sale, my new barn has way too many people with too much money. My sponsor and I (leasor) were there yesterday and ...

Interesting. The older dog that we just had to put down from severe age and pain issues was 100% Kelpie. She was extremely submissive and never came close to biting anything. With her spinal issues as she got older, she did bark at dogs that got to rough/close her because of pain I think. And my fri...

Tanga

Ouch. Horses are expensive! That is a pretty nice horse, especially for an awkward two year old. I'm with Canyon, I'm too old for a young horse, and I'm not starting over again.

Tanga

I agree giving MB the gun was the wrong thing to do. I agree we have a huge issue with mental health. I think/hope this is a huge lesson for the horse world and things can be improved. The decision by the jury was 100% right, thankfully. If you have facts to argue, go for it and just say it. Don't e...

Tanga

Then don't stop and show who you are. Your opinion that he used a gun to "settle a dispute" doesn't seem valid, and is certainly no fact. He more likely had a gun because they were sociopaths and threatening him, so had it with him when he tried one last time to get them to leave, or thoug...

Tanga

The lesson here, it's OK to shoot someone so long as society hates them. That's what all those decades of antisemitism and racism taught us and the only thing that has changed is society's perception of whom it is ok to hate. You need to stop. You didn't watch the trial and don't know what happened...

Tanga

Thank goddess. Poor man. His sobbing at the judgement is heartbreaking.

Tanga

Thanks, Chancellor.

Tanga

LPS--I didn't think you were talking about harsher. I'm sure you'll sort it out.

You don't need to explain yourself to anyone. I was wondering if the account was hacked, but then saw pictures posted. If it is the real person, I agree with you. Something seems wrong.

Tanga

Exvet, I really like your ponies. I think they are super quality. I've been judging a lot this year and have more and would give yours good scores. An idea for the canter you may or may not want to try. I went back to really simple signals for the gaits so I could stop MY issues, esp. leaning forwar...

Tanga

Thanks, demi--I'm watching the closing and am really annoyed with the prosecution's closing. He keeps lying about really basic things. He said they didn't do forensics on the gun, clothes, etc. because it poured rain about an hour after it happened. But, but, but, the people involved and their cloth...

Tanga

Blob, I think that is 100% what the defense is showing. Listen to the closing arguments. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p4MBxOAA9As

Tanga

It is crazy every which way. And it is so sad. Whatever happens, MB's life is ruined . Blob--MB never pleaded self defense. He doesn't remember anything. He's pleading something like temporary insanity. Just from what I watched, (and very little of LK and RK because they were so aggravating and cont...

LPS Quinn has done this forever. She does it when she's annoyed, frustrated, tension, anxiety, wants to be pushy kind of thing, in the saddle, loose, etc. I'm guessing it's his personality. She literally tosses her nose up, like the Arab thing. I think head shakers are more actually shaking from sid...

Tanga

Blob--Yeah, the trial answered all of those questions. He was truly afraid and they gave him reasons to be. The whole gun thing is complicated, but I am pretty sure he felt if he tried to talk to them without it, they would attack/kill him. I think that's what happened. I am thinking the jury will f...

Tanga

If you're not going to find the details of the case or watch it, I don't know what to say. Like I said, the WHOLE trial is on Youtube--search Barisone. You can look at what you want. Why are you talking about moral outrage and bullying???? From WHO? Do you know know any of these people?? Why are you...

Tanga

Chisamba, are you watching the trial? I do not think MB attempted to murder anyone. It's looking like LK harassed, bugged, taped, cheated, lied, and everything else MB into a state I would have never thought possible in fear for his life and everything else. He did bring legal pressure, and in fact ...

Tanga

I started watching the trial and it's stunning. Those two contradicted each other every which way. It's sure looking like those two attacked MB in some way after harassing and setting him up in every which way (including illegal recordings) and she ended up getting shot in the "7 minute" f...

Finally got to a 2nd show this year. Because we were on lockdown for EHV until the 31st it ended up being really small despite all of the cancelled shows and it being Osinski. They needed temp. checks for two weeks prior recorded, so that's probably why. I didn't sleep much the night before because,...

Me, too! Besides working on my legs, I'm trying to keep my left hip forward and how to do that to fix my swingy changes. I do not know why it works and how to get the feel yet, but when I do it, it works!

Tanga

khall--I love the in hand work. Just a thought from the other videos--your legs seem too far back on both sides all of the time and stirrups too long. I just got the leg too far back feedback, so have been working on getting both horses more responsive so I don't feel like I need to do that. (A lot ...

I’ll be interested in your results! I have three cushenoid horses on Prascend. In the past I have had good luck with the compounded Pergolide powder which is much cheaper. Unfortunately my compounding source no longer makes it. Also I thought you might be interested. Chasteberry is from the Vitex T...

I never like to feed just a bunch of stuff because I don't know what works, so I'm always trying ingredients to see what will work. On my quest to see if maybe Quinn has ulcers/tummy issues (despite being out 24/7 and food all of the time!) and me having a LOT of aloe vera in my yard, I started with...

OMG. Apparently I didn't save my post. Agree, I would add a chain or butt bars. You need to be able to open the door without anyone backing right out. I don't tie my horses. I don't see the point in tying to the side. If you want more room for a slant load, you can leave the divider to the side, but...
