Hi! I’d like to join the threads. This past weekend was our last show of the year. We have a few clinics coming up the next few weeks in between some travel I’ve got. We’ve been showing 3-3 this year and my trainer thinks we are ready for 4-1 but I’m less convinced! So the goals for the winter are c...

I have taken to removing the liner from my helmet after a ride and it is working so much better to allow it to fully dry before I ride the next day. I just leave it in the drawer or locker next to the helmet. (Wouldn’t help for multiple rides in a row.) I also ordered a second liner so I take it hom...

Brings her own to share right

48 hours also turns all their episodes into a podcast, so you can listen via their podcast feed too after it airs. You won't get all the horse videos though!

Iceland is amazing!! You will have a great time.

I got the chance to go in 2019 for a work trip and I was able to add several days for sightseeing onto the trip. It’s such an incredible place, so much beauty and such a different landscape than anywhere else I’d ever been.

zevida

That’s so cool! That’s close up pic is incredible. Keep us posted on how it goes!

zevida

Hopefully a tetanus shot too! Glad he is o-k.

Don’t do twin beds for adult guests, or make sure you have a thick topper so if pushed together you can’t tell it is two beds. It has nothing to do with nighttime activities. I’m tall and large and my feet hang off a twin and if I need to roll over I feel like I might roll off the bed. Not fun!

I personally am still in awe at how he is able to get riders horses going for them through his instruction. I could have sat for days and just soaked it all in. I audited two clinics he did and I have never seen a clinician transform horses and riders with instruction the way he did. It was incredi...

I have my own truck and trailer so don’t have to pay for hauling. Trailing in to a show and doing two classes is about $250 I think. A multi-day show with the trainer and barn which involves a stall and hotel room and tack stall and grooming fees could be $1000-1500.

Thank you pKOR for the Amazon gift card! I sent you a thank via via them too, but not sure how that gets sent. I am going to save the credit until after Christmas so I can see what I didn't get from my list and then buy what I really wanted. And/or go on a kindle book spree!! Hehe. Happy Holidays &...

I wish!

The estimate was $1500. The actual ended up about $1250. Probably would have been $800 at my regular vet.

zevida

My turn! Took my cat to the emergency vet today due to wobbly hind end. He is 18. They gave me an estimate for: Emergency fee just to show up Exam fee Xrays of everything Geriatric bloodwork in house Urinalysis to lab Thyroid check to lab Fluids Meds Placeholder for some take home meds I’m in the SF...

I was going to guess $950 - $750 for the visit to clean and stitch and then $200 per night to stay at the clinic but this bill just has one night. I wasn’t off by much it seems!

zevida

$475

Emergency visit $200
Farm call $75
Exam $50
IV shot $50
Medication $75
Supplies $25

I also got the chocolate bar! I think that was it, right?

I like Stitch, both for his big ears and for his learning how to be part of the family!

So...I do not know who my Kringle is this year because the package came direct from Amazon with no name attached, BUT Thank you very much for all the wonderful goodies!!! A super soft throw to wrap up in, chew sticks for the dogs, my two newest favorite movies--Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocket Man and ...

Congrats! That’s hard work that deserves credit!

I got my gifts this weekend! Thank you for the sunglasses and the Reese’s galopp! I am taking my sunglasses on a trip this week. And I put the Reese’s in the freezer so I will hopefully eat them more slowly!

I can understand the reasons for not reporting. I can't understand bringing it out decades later. What is the endgame? I mean, what do the accusers expect to achieve? I would think the goal of reporting is to stop the perp from continuing the behavior. But with the older accused, all it does is tar...

zevida

I am so sorry to hear; what a terrible position. But it sounds like you are being the ultimate horsewoman and doing the right thing to end his suffering.

zevida

Yeah me too, a little freaky because it makes me think my computer has a bug. Hope they get it fixed soon.

zevida

Yeah, these tests are nothing like regular tests, so you can't compare. Like the scores for the dressage seat equitation class or the scores in breed classes. There are just 3 scores for each gait, submission, and perspective (potential as a dressage horse).

zevida

Congrats! You’re progress is so awesome, you must feel so good.

What fun! I did the Prague & Vienna trip two years ago (plus Budapest) and despite not planning in advance I was able to get a last minute ticket to a performance. I also did the behind the scenes tour where we got to go through the barn, though I don't remember getting to talk to a rider so cha...

zevida

I'm so sorry, that really sucks.

zevida

Fun! I did Budapest, Vienna, and Prague two years ago.

At the SRS I attended a performance, a training session, and the behind the scenes tour. I enjoyed all of them. There was another tour I didn’t do I think an architectural tour of the SRS that I skipped.

There is no state income tax in Texas, which I think makes property taxes a little higher. I have heard that the state also won't give you an agriculture exception just for horses, so that can also make property taxes higher. In North Texas you have to be really careful about location, as some areas...

zevida

You should be very careful here - not renting due to children is discrimination and illegal according to the Fair Housing Act.

I have an angel from Zevida I remember the angel! That's awesome you still have it. I have a beautiful painting of my cats that I treasure. It was a Simone who gave it to me and I always mix up if it was her real name or screen name. It was painted I think by another UDBBer but I don't remember for...

Sure, but as someone who rides with more HJ than dressage, this isn't reality. No one can put the horse on the bit, or ride straight. YMMV. There are an awful lot of dressage riders who can neither keep their horse on the bit nor ride straight. A good h/j trainer should enhance the dressage with go...

I think he is brown, but that's often registered as "dark bay or brown."

I thought $2,500 on reading the post - her age, plus height, plus that she can sometimes act like an "alpha chestnut mare".

If she has clean changes anyone can get (not just the trainer) and has a recent good show record ridden by the owner (again not trainer) then maybe up to $5,000.

zevida

I'm not sure the question is worded correctly - you really want to know if we are using broadband or mobile data plans, right? Because I use my phone and tablet devices almost exclusively, but always on wifi from my broadband connection. It's phrased as [type of connection] or [type of device].

zevida

I think they're beautiful!

I definitely don't think you should go into your personal details. On your resume, if that's the issue, I wouldn't mention it or I'd call it a sabbatical. If it comes in in person say that you took some personal time off to refresh and you explored different interests like baking and writing, and it...

zevida

I don't care for either. The cut-out loses the power of the original, and ends up being clunky. You need a much more stylized outline of a horse to look good in a cut-out.

They can't get rid of the water, water is everywhere in Florida, and often necessary to have the canals to help with flooding. Even if they drained the man made lakes and filled those in, there are so many natural lakes and ponds, and the canals again, and if there is water, there will be gators. Th...

She is gorgeous.

Please don't crop her ears. F*ck the contract. The animal's well-being is more important that your "word."

It is based in the same world as Cloverfield (the previous movie), but a totally different type of movie.

zevida

I loved it!

I'd call it suspense, not horror. Think Misery, not Saw. Definitely jumped in surprise a few times and was on the edge of my seat. If you like suspense, it's fantastic.

Yes, psychological thriller is another good description.

I think about this from time to time, with a retired 14-year-old pasture horse. He's fat and happy, but he limps every time he trots. Limping in pain. I'll be honest, it would be nice to not have to pay for him, but I certainly can afford to. But I don't want to keep a horse that's in pain for the n...

I use the Greenies pill pockets, or smush between two soft treats, or crush and mix in with wet food.
