I was thinking about this. There are notices that qualifications for championships in the fall will be minimized and such, but I don't see how any showing can resume until next year, after there is a vaccine. We can probably get to shows and be safe as riders, managing to get numbers and paperwork. ...

Tanga

Yes, it will pass. It will be awhile, and we will have to change the way we do things. I'm hoping this is a turning point in history where we have lived through interesting times, and it was tough, but it made things better. I'm hoping we come out of this with the traitor in chief and all of it's fr...

What about flax? I have found flax to be amazing at keeping weight on as well as great for the coat and feet, and it's very cost effecttive.

Apparently chickie with the drawn on eyebrows and bitchy behavior gets around. I'm pretty sure she does a lot of drugs.

Did you watch 60 Minutes the week before last? They had some good reporting on the people working on tests and vaccines. The woman working on the vaccine said best case scenario said a year from now. They're working on an antibody test which I think will be a good measure of safety in knowing who is...

DH talked today with a colleague who's a surgeon at one of the big San Francisco hospitals. They only have 15, YES 15, Covid-19 patients right now. So it looks like the drastic stay at home measures in California are working. I know. The thing is, we're looking for the top of our curve to be in May...

We're on two weeks here, and not supposed to ride anymore because someone complained and the barn owner is afraid. It's partly his fault because he had a ton of visitors out there, with the kids playing with each other out in the open visible from the street last weekend! Now the "trainers"...

texsure If it helps, here the local feed and horse store (Western Saddlery) has you give and pay for your order over the phone, then call when you arrive and they will load it for you with no contact. And we were the first to go on shelter in place and no shortage of gas, as few people are driving. ...

I'm trying to stretch out the new season of Better Call Saul. It's so good I don't want to miss it. If you haven't seen it, Abstract on Netflix is wonderful. Each episode is a look at some of the most creative people in the world. If you love sic fi, Altered Carbon. (I only have Netflix.) I read the...

Agreed on the horrible flu last fall. I haven't been sick in awhile and I got it. Just knocked me on my butt for days. Husband got it twice. I wonder if it was the pre-mutation of covid? It's interesting the states/areas going to shelter at home later are restricted from going to the barn. It's pret...

At the old Hayward Hills stables? I had my rideable horse in Briones until last October. When there was a small break in the fire/power outage nightmares, I took the opportunity to move him to Lodi where my retired horse is. I fully thought I would be retiring the guy too but the change in footing ...

Things are changing quickly here--SF bay area. I think all schools were closed as of last week. They just announced a shelter in home for all seven bay area counties for three weeks.

I'm interpreting shelter in place to including the barn When I saw my doctor — a horsewoman — last week she specifically told me to keep riding. She's at a FAR busier facility than I am, and she still considers it very low-risk for transmission since you're not right up on one another. Good to know...

I'm interpreting shelter in place to including the barn, because I get nowhere near anyone there. Lots of barn time and gardening. And house cleaning and organizing, if I get to that. Lots of dog walking.

Wow Tanga! I've been to LV several times for the WC, but never seen Hoover Dam and the surrounding area. I can keep my self busy. :D There are many cool things to do.

Around here, SF bay area, over the last week, almost every single school district has cancelled school for at least three weeks. I think any still not officially cancelled will be by Monday. I have been going into a bunch of different schools and classes and am not worried. I shopped as I regularly ...

Drat. Oh well, unless and until the airlines offer refunds, and not just free date changes, I guess I'm renting a car and driving to see Hoover and surrounding sights. I hope they do, but if not, there are some cool things you can see there. My husband just got there today, driving, with friends fo...

Oh boy. I hate to say this, but I'm thinking they have to cancel. If the flight ban holds, the horses can't get here, let alone people coming to watch.

I've tried the baucher on several horses, and I, too, noticed no difference with very different horses. I basically always end up in loose ring or egg butt snaffles. I also never use a drop. I really, really, really don't like the idea of them. I have gotten to a place where I basically don't need a...

Salvino's piaffe has some nice sit! But in her opening canter coming into the ring, it looked a bit like she was "shoving" him with her seat. Don't get me wrong, she is a lovely rider. I'm nit picking. Agree. As a judge, I would describe it in the forehand. His canter is huge and he is dr...

I hope Manni chimes in and tells you. Since moving back to Germany she has had amazing access to so many great teachers. I am so jealous!

I DO hope Laura Graves gets a sponsor! I do't know how many other horses she rides, but Verdades was a difficult horse and she did probably better than any other American ever has, really. It would be a shame not to have her out there competing for the team with her experience.

Tanga

"It's easy enough to find" Again, not top tier horses. Some trained to GP, some shown, but none of them were on the stage as ready Olympic horses. Like I said, Ravel, Legolas, and Rosie all had issues. Suppenkaspar was shown by one of the top riders tp %72, which isn't high for that level ...

Yes. I travelled solo and got around by bus. It was great and easy. I also have a friend who is an ex pat and lives there and loves it. There are a lot of cool things you can do because it has Arenal, which is an active (mellow) volcano and cloud forests, and then all of the beach areas as well as l...

Nice to see they are improving. I look forward to seeing them in Vegas. I assume Adrienne Lyle will be the other, but maybe Kelly Casey. It doesn't look like either of them are competing in the US right now.

I don't know other details, but I rode in a Wintec Pro for 30 years (from training to GP) because it was the only saddle that fit the shark fin TB whithers and didn't sit down in the back.

Two tile shelves all the way. Much easier to clean. Always put more than you need. You an just not use one if you don't want it. You can't add one later.

The baskets never stay up well and you can never really get them clean.

I was there for the GP. He looked much improved over the last time i saw him IRL, but as noted above, unevenness still shows up..... Cool. Nice to know he's improving. My guess is Steffen is smart enough about all of it that he is focusing in relaxation right now and can fix the unevenness when he ...

exvet I'm not a gadget person, and I can't see how draw reins help anything. But I see how sometimes neither of you are strong enough.

I very much agree that IW's trot extension leaves much to be desired--both in correctness and in pizazz. And it was definitely hollow, butI don't know that i thought her horse was particularly hollow during piaffe and passage also. It's interesting, Carl Hester commented that her extended trot was ...
