Ok, so I need new reins since I took off the rein aids from my nunn finer soft pony reins. I love those reins but I do want hand stops. So far, I like schochmole dressage reins that have rubber underneath and leather on top. They seem thin enough for my smallish hands and soft. I found that PS of Sw...

I've read a lot of that post and I feel sorry for MB. From what I have read this woman has pushed every button of his. She has prior charges against her for many things and many, many speeding tickets. THt in itself says she cannot and will not follow the rules. If I was told to leave a facility, I'...

Thanks Peidmont, as usual you are a wealth of info! Unfortunately, I do not have a saddle shop nearby with Saddles to sit and get a feel for. 2 local reps that I know of, 1 is a custom sadderly rep and the other an Albion rep. The Albion rep is coming at the end of the month for me to try a few Sadd...

Anyone try or own on of these? Since Schleese won't come to the barn I'm at and I won't trailer to where they do fittings in my state I'm still searching for something for a PRE. I can't find a lot of reviews when I google search. I have seen a few on eBay and they look lovely and comfy. I like a ni...

I think the Beval jacket would fit me perfectly. Advise shopping to 16055.

Thank you for the update. I think of both of them often.

Can you post the article here? I don't get that magazine.

I also would have suggested some mild Masterson Method bodywork. It's so hard to know what to do when you don't know the exact injury or the extent of it. Is he head bobbing lame? My mare would not bend to the right, she'd pitch a fit when asked. I had bodywork done twice and the worker said if she'...

When my mare had mastitis after her goal was weaned. I had to be care not to over drain or pump the teets as it could start the milk production again. Her mastitis came 4 months after weaning...

I'll say it again. MARES.

Update on Glowing Results: I only used the shampoo, conditioner and gleam on her tail since it's a big issue. I made sure I got out all the wind knots before I used it. I really liked how clean it got the tail and the conditioner helped soften her broom like strands. The Gleem degangler was also nic...

My old gelding got them at certain times of the year. Usually in a day or two they would gpbe gone. New mare also gets them and some times her teets swell. It's usually clover or some other weed related. My mare had them last month for only 2 days.

Hayburner

Sorry your lost your sweet piggie. Were he tweets filled with pus? My mare, not maiden will occasionally get swelling in hers for no reason and no temp. A few times she's come in with the slobbers from clover and her tweets are swollen too. Could just be a coincidence or the clover could have caused...

Oh, are you the only person at your barn that uses this farrier?

Sorry your not getting call backs, possibly he was on vacation or had phone issues.

In 20 some years of horse ownership I have never had to call for an appt. always had me on a schedule.

Hayburner

And then there is the story of my first horse that 2 vets told me not to buy, because he failed his flexion tests. Back then, I didn't know enough to X-ray, etc. but my heart said to buy. I bought, and he never took a lame step. Had him for 18 years he lived to 31 1/2 years when he got into his very...

Hayburner

You have no proof that you would have had the same results. Let it go, it was t meant to be

You will find A other, chin up!

Hayburner

I would listen to the vet. Could you use Reserpine or another drug to take the edge off and hopefully ward off ulcers?

Hayburner

A good friend of mine choose not to save any tail or mane hair. I was with her for the euthanization, she had him cremated and before he was taken away I again asked if she wanted me to cut a little as a keepsake but she did t want to. She never rally said why... I choose to save some mane and tail ...

Hayburner

Congrats to you and Jet!

Hayburner

Yikes! So all in all you are probably looking at 7-8 k a month for your horse and yourself.

I have friends that go down for the winter and I'm sure thy aren't spring that much.

Hayburner

Yes, we can call them wind knots, dreads or cords :) I never brush her tail, I only hand pick. I bit the bullet yesterday as it was super dry and bought the Glowing Results shampoo, conditioner and gleam. I'll keep you posted on the results. I swear I've tried just about everything on the market fro...

Hayburner

I don't like to feed anything when the bit is in, but my old horse loved ginger snap cookies.

Hayburner

Thanks Blob! I'll give the no contioner suggestion a try and see if it helps.

Even on days with no wind it gets the witches knots. Tho, the way she races around, she's probably creating her own wind

Hayburner

Glad you are back!

Hayburner

My Andalusian mare has a very thick mane and a tail that is finally coming in fuller and thicker. Her mane is fairly easy to manage and can be quite soft the tail hair is different. It's course and has a wave in it, it gets terrible witches tangles in it. I detangle almost daily with my fingers and ...

Thank you for posting your accomplishments with the previously feral BLM horse!

Naturally, pics of this soon to be poster horse would be great.

Congrats on moving up the levels with him, you have a lot to proud of and gush over

Hayburner

I would guess the grout lines could be filled in to match the height of the tile and then covered with faux wood. Yes, tearing out all the tile would be a nightmare, but a really good contractor with a few guys could get it done pretty quick. A friend just had this done and I was shocked in how quic...

Healing vibes coming Annabelle's way. Sorry you have another month of this, but better safe than risking a reinjury

Hayburner

So sorry you are going thru this again! When I see posts on Facebook about how cute these possums are I usually lash back with yeah and they can infect our beloved horses with a costly and life threatening disease. I donate to a local rescue and sorry to say but I ask that my money not be spent on a...

So sorry for you loss of Panache, colic is always a concern with horses. To lose one over this is overwelming, when the vet arrives we always think they will get thru it, it will pass until it doesn't. My heart aches for your recent horse loss and now the reinjury. Healing vibes vibes coming your an...

I use Alertme

It alerts when I get a text or miss a phone call. It continues to beep until I acknowledge it.

I'm interested in the Buck Branaman ground work book. Price?

Thanks

I semi downsized and now live in a planned community. Omg, I hate it here, but it's convenient to work and to the barn so I tolerate it. I scan the real estate ads all the time hoping something comes up that would make me happy. Mountaineer, I would probably pass on this house and keep looking for s...

That's a nice area for you guys!

Hayburner

I check out real estate listings all the time. Curiosity and also design ideas. When we sold our last house the owners did not live in it very long, I actually was going to buy it back. Anyway, they changed many of my wall colors. The bedroom and sunroom were most impressionable from fern green to d...

Musical. For hair that is sticking, Haas makes a rubber hand held gadget (Smartpak sells them) that works like magic to remove stubborn hair. I use it on all my saddle pads and clothes now. I was using my old sweeeper but I think the suction was a bit much and I ended up with a tiny hole.

Hayburner

I think Cashel makes one, also try Schneiders

Hayburner

Khall. My vet is coming to the barn this month, maybe I better ask her to show me how to clean the vulva. I would have no idea how far I should go in and wipe, ugh.
Nor do I know where the beans would be if she would have any.

Geldings are so much easier!

Hayburner

Oh Khall, I read somewhere that mares can get beans like geldings in their vulva and it's quite uncomfortable. I'm not sure how clean it unless I just do a quick wipe when I'm cleaning her teats

Hayburner

Khall. How do you wash the vulva? I do clean my mares teats which are rather large possibly from her one foal and they get super cruddy. I usually clean them or should I say between them every 2nd or 3rd day with baby wipes. In the winter due to her blankets tail flap her butt does get some debris s...

Hayburner

She's adorable

Hayburner

It's best to ride her on a full stomach. Can't you just take extra long to groom her, pick her stall, find something to do at the barn while she finishes most of her hay? My mare eats her grain and hay at 4. I have never gotten on before 5 Or 5:30. She still has hay left when I do start to saddle he...

Hayburner

I do remember him . Thanks for posting an update on him.

Is he still riding?

Maybe someday he will join us here again.

Hayburner

Glad to see you back posting.

You make a lovely pair and congrats on your wins!

Hayburner

Enjoy your trip of a lifetime!

Hayburner

Thanks for the reply.

Do other manufacturers have this same policy?

I guess I will need to pass on the Obrigado since I won’t trailer to buy a saddle

Hayburner

How old is he?

My gelding loved getting his sheath cleaned! It was almost embarrassing

as he got older I did notice a bit more white debris attached, almost like flaky skin, it looked like his penis was shedding. Never seemed to bother him so I just picked it off

Hayburner

As much as I love shades of purple, I'd be very afraid of their blackberry. Can you get blackberry as an accent color instead of the whole boot?
