I have a fair bit of new or as new stuff to get rid of. I take Paypal and ship quickly. I'm selling the clippers as I need a set of really good rechargeable ones. I have no power in my barn and it is a PITA to run extension cords. 1. Oster A-5 clippers. Recently refurbished, unused since. Work fine....

Thanks guys for your insight. I ended up changing farriers for this horse as I think the guy doing him did not have his feet properly balanced. The horse is a biggun, nearly 18H so it complicates keeping him barefoot. Our ground is hard, desert ground and it's not forgiving at all. Long story short,...

I think he is a little upright in the shoulder and I'm not crazy about his hind end. That being said, I like that he has good heels and enough bone for his body mass. Maybe he's a little upright but his pastern angle matches his shoulder. I think he will sprout a decent wither and topline with a lit...

We don't do Halloween. There are no street lights in our neighborhood so the littles pass us by. If I were you, I would dress up as a cop and let Manto be your K-9.

He's just flinging them off. His hoof quality is pretty decent, all things considered. Of course, as luck would have it my attempts to remove his remaining shoe today were completely futile. Why is it that shoes come off willy nilly when you want them to stay on, but when you want to remove them you...

The rookie has a clubby-ish foot. He was barefoot when I got him, and is shod now. He is having a hard time keeping shoes on the other (non club) foot. Experiences? He's too old for check ligament surgery.

I would have put the horse down before rehoming her. Clearly, you feel a commitment to the mare which is admirable. However, others may not have that same commitment. What happens when her management becomes a burden? What if she colics, or needs vet care? Are you comfortable with the fact that anot...

Tis I, redsoxluvr. I have been riding dressage for more than twenty years. We have three horses right now. Mr. Perfect is the apple of my eye and the source of my nightmares. LOL. He's a 12yo Rhinelander gelding. The Rookie is my project child. He's an 18h, 7yo AQHA gelding. Finally, the Original P...

Red here, hi y'all. It's been awhile.

Thanks, Chancellor for taking this on.

I'm in.

I always start with shallow loops. Start with just going to the quarter line, then increase to centerline. When the horse can go to the centerline and back to the rail comfortably he is ready to start with a 15M half circle back to the rail. Stay in counter canter through the short side, then change...

Goals for the Rookie - start counter canter by the end of the year. He's already pretty steady in the contact in all three paces. Sadly, he is on the lazy side. (Comically so.), He's been here since Aug 1, and all we have focused on this first 8 weeks is leg = go wholeheartedly, not nap and sulk. He...
