Computers can be such a pain, rockabilly. If you really want back on FB, you could probably change your name a little and open a new account.

Having to go through three CCL surgeries, I can fully understand why someone would want to wait to spay or neuter if it would decrease the chances of a CCL issue. It was hell. And, for those requiring tplo, it is crazy expensive.

Thanks! I attended a three day class/clinic that Jillian taught. It was awesome. She basically explained anatomically why classical dressage principles are correct. I loved it and can’t recommend her enough.

I have contacts like that. I will always keep them. I also never delete all my voice messages. After my Dad died, I realized I couldn’t find any messages from him. It killed me. So, now I make sure to always have some saved.

Your heart saw him better than your eyes ever could. ❤️

Straightforward: How do the sealing rubbers attach? Do you have a pic?

I ended up finding some of the old Qwik-Out irons for $20. Brand new!

greenhorse

Wow. That’s ridiculous about UPS’ insurance. That seems illegal to sell you insurance knowing they won’t cover your item.

My saddle is coming via USPS. Fingers crossed....

greenhorse

Aren’t the peacocks only good for riders under 100lbs or something like that?

greenhorse

Is anybody riding with safety irons? Pros, cons, suggestions?

greenhorse

What’s the best way to ship a saddle? FedEx or UPS?

greenhorse

Hayburner, what size do you have?

I’ve been thinking about trying FITS. I wasn’t sure how the material would be. I’d have to order them to try. My local tack store doesn’t carry them anymore.

greenhorse

Blob, the link wouldn’t work for me. Do you remember the name of the breeches so I can google them?

greenhorse

Does anyone have suggestions for breeches that are similar to Equissentials? They were always my most comfortable and durable. I liked the material they were made from, too. I don’t really like most of the tech fabrics that are out there. They feel really hot to me.

Well, ain't that the truth? It really should fall to the parents to stand up for their kids in my mind.

What about the kids with crappy parents? Who stands up for them? Predators often go for the most vulnerable precisely because they know they have a better chance of getting away with it.

greenhorse

That’s sad. I hate to think about the deer suffering out there somewhere.

greenhorse

Hi! Yes, that was probably me. I replied to your message. I hope you will have as good of luck as we did.

I wouldn’t be so quick to say that stallion had a bad temperament. I have no idea as to the stallion’s identity, but I am, very unfortunately, way too familiar with PSSM. When not managed, horses can be in excruciating pain. They only have so many ways of telling us. Have you ever had a cramp in you...

I have had a few friends tell me about Wendy’s Sure Foot system. Has anyone here acually used them? What did you think about them?

greenhorse

I am going to class today for Feldenkrais for horses. It is taught by someone who has trained with Mary Debono. I am really hoping to learn something that will be helpful for my horse.

greenhorse

Anyone know much about Feldenkrais or had any experiences with it?

greenhorse

I decided to try the on-line in-hand class. I can get my money back for 30 days if I don’t like it. So, I thought it was worth a try.

greenhorse

Wow, hayburner! Group trips to Portugal??? Fun!!!

greenhorse

Thanks for the replies. Right now Inam looking for in-hand training. I should have mentioned that in the first post.

greenhorse

Has anybody gone to one of his clinics or know anything about him?

greenhorse

I have to deal with PSSM. It sucks. Some horses are more symptomatic than others. Besides keeping him extra warm, I would suggest MagRestore and Tri-Amino. PSSM2 is really a different disease than PSSM1. It used to be suggested to feed them the same way. Low sugar, high fat. While some PSSM2’s will ...

Ryeissa: What school did you learn from? I checked into Masterson. It would cost $5500 not including books and the travel/lodging required for me to attend!

greenhorse

I have one of his books and played around with it with my horses. I wasn’t sure if that was a stand alone type practice or something that went with other massage.

greenhorse

Does anyone have recommendations for a decent equine massage school? I’ve heard of Equinology and Equissage. Are there any others? Anyone have experience with Equissage?

My 17 year old GSD had regular acupuncture (every two weeks) the last year of her life. She always walked out of that office better than she walked in. It definitely improved the quality of her life. Interestingly, she wasn’t that great of a patient, except for the acupuncture. She found it very rel...

greenhorse

It makes a big difference for my horse. MagRestore is expensive, but it is worth it for us.

greenhorse

Nice! How long are your poles?

greenhorse

Gallop: Would landscape timbers be safe? I was thinking as ground poles they would be less likely to roll, but they don’t have as sharp of edges like square poles. They are only $5, too! https://m.lowes.com/pd/Severe-Weather-Actual-3-in-x-4-in-x-8-ft-Pressure-Treated-Landscape-Timber/1000106437?cm_m...

greenhorse

How do you like them?

greenhorse

I decided not to renew my subscription because of the change. I wanted a dressage magazine. That’s not what it is anymore.

greenhorse

What is the problem with square? I was afraid it could catch a hoof on the edge.

Just this week, I had a pvc ground pole shatter when my horse stepped on it. It practically exploded. I picked up two handfuls of sharp shards.

greenhorse

Where do I buy octagonal or oval poles?

greenhorse

I’m looking for some tips on building my own. Also, is there any difference if I use a round pole or a square pole? What about pvc?

greenhorse

He is on a very specific diet. I honestly don't know if it is calcium rich. He's on a ration balancer. Needs low NSC. Mostly amino acid supplements. He does also gets additional salt which I read is very necessary for the proper potassium/sodium ratio with most horses being deficient. Damn! I wish m...

greenhorse

The vet said it wasn't at a dangerous level, but we will need to keep an eye on it. My usual vet won't be back for five more days. I called the vet because my horse, very suddenly--while I was watching, stopped eating and started snorting and shaking his head like a bug had flown up his nose. He bec...

I've heard some feed chia seeds.

greenhorse

Has anyone's horse's bloodwork came back with high potassium? Did your horse show any symptoms?

greenhorse

Did you buy your PRE from a breeder? If so, they should be able to help you with the process. Although it was confusing, I didn't have any problems. With the breeder help, it wasn't that difficult.

Are you sure the sire and dam were revised by ANCCE?

greenhorse

What didn't you like about the ration balancers?

greenhorse

I had a ridiculously difficult time finding a saddle to fit my short backed PRE. He finally picked (yes, he picked. He is not shy about expressing his opinions....) a Delgrange.

How do I get a photo from my iPhone and post it on here?

I was going to hang my boy's bridle on a nice wooden plague with his name engraved under it. Unfortunately, his bridle was destroyed by his mischievous younger "brother." I was pretty upset. I did manage to salvage the browband and a few pieces. Now, I plan I. Hanging his halter on the pla...

greenhorse

Maybe you could just not allow your kids around these two anymore?

greenhorse

I know two of the horses involved in this horrible mess. There was a third, but he died. Very, very sad.

greenhorse

Their purpose is to cause endless arguing on dressage boards. Hahahaha!

greenhorse

I believe you have to listen to your animal. Are they happy with their life? My old guy and I took it one day at a time for a very long time. I am sure some didn't understand it. They might even have thought it was cruel. But, I knew my boy. I knew when he was happy, and when he was stressed. I knew...
