I'm doing Rider Pilates at the moment and the strength courses that Jess developed to accompany the Pilates sessions. I'm really enjoying the courses and my results. It's been eye opening how much the Pilates courses have allowed me to feel my imbalances in the saddle. Look at riderpilatesclub.com. ...

I got a Duette Encore for Rustle a couple summers ago. I feel very comfortable and secure in it, Rustle goes well in it and it was in my saddle budget price-wise. I did trade in the fitter who sold it to me for a better one though and now Rustle likes it even more. I have one gripe about it and it's...

This is an update. I bought 2 of Dr. Lam's Tai Chi for Arthritis DVDs. I thought if they were geared for arthritis then I wouldn't get hurt. I've been doing the 12 lessons but Tai Chi moves slow so learning the moves is a slow process but I LOVE it. To me it seems that my legs will really get strong...

Lol. I will say though, I couldn't live long term in the states without bringing a case of Ketchup Chips with me. I have no idea why you don't have them. Craziness!! I don't either. I had a friend with family in Nova Scotia. He would summer up there every year and bring back a case of ketchup potat...

If I got a cookbook of my grandmother's recipes, I would be thrilled. There's no way it can happen though because she took them to her grave. Because of that, I wrote down my mom's sauce, meatball and manicotti recipes.

Gypsy was a loner and low mare on the totem pole in group turnout. When I moved her to the place with individual paddocks, she got friendly with Mystery until they moved Winston to the paddock on the other side. Gypsy liked Winston better. He taught her how to snorkel in their shared water trough. T...

Please don't use essential oils near cats. Their livers can't break them down so the oils just stay and build up to toxic levels. I had an animal communicator recommend a few of them for my cats but after doing the research, I decided against them. Per a client who's had Lyme disease since she was 1...

What about these? I found them after a search. I don't know how well they work as I have cats but they got really good reviews.

Check out Dr. Lam's dvds on Amazon. I haven't used them but had checked into then a while back.

I have the Masterson DVD and like it. I also found this book, Beating Muscle Injuries for Horses by Jack Meagher - Hamilton Horse Associates, 1985 to be good also. I actually worked with someone who trainer with Jack Meagher back when I had Gypsy. The technique was spot on for her.

I'm 53 and post menopausal myself. My insurance company has given me a scale and a support group. I also started doing a Leslie Sansone 3 mile fitness walk.

Hope you're ok. Rustle sppoks at air sometimes so I've gotten in the habit of warning him about stuff. Like when we go past the micro pigs, I tell him pigs on the left/right depending on how we're approaching them.

I gave Rustle last winter off for being saddle sore long before the never ending snow storms. I did clicker training with him. I also did lots of hand walking around the farm. If we have another winter from hell, I'm going to teach him to ground drive.

I love a toasted munster cheese sandwich. It melts great and even provides strings when pulled apart. But I hate tomato soup.

So I found an instructor that has experience with gaited horses. He came out yesterday to evaluate Rustle and I. I have to start lunging him in side reins. I have those sliding side reins with all the little d rings in them. It's been over 20 years since I've had to use them. Does anyone know how to...

What about Bach Rescue Remedy? There are pet versions that are alcohol free.

I know someone who would just put both bits in her horse's mouth but only have reins attached to the snaffle to get her horse used to 2 bits. Might be worth a shot to break it down into smaller steps.

I love trail riding. This summer's goal was to get Rustle on the rail trail across the street from the farm and he's been awesome. I can't get him to cleanly walk over poles in the ring but he'll pick his feet up to get over a downed tree. He's either too smart for his own good or gets bored easily.

Thanks everyone. I think I'll keep 7 and save 10 for when I have to get a new system. Don't need that kind of aggravation.

I have a 5 year old Gateway desktop computer. It's got the i7 Intel core chip set CPU @2.8 GHz, 8 GB RAM running 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium SP1. It isn't a touch system.

Wondering if upgrading to Windows 10 is worth doing. Opinions appreciated.

Thank you for the suggestions. I have things to try this week on my days off. Will report back on progress.

Rustle bucks. Not all the time. Never really during the summer but it's fall and it's getting cooler. I never had to ride a buck because Gypsy wasn't a bucker so I don't know if there's something I should be watching for or not. I rode yesterday and he was great. I rode today and he bucked.

Hot epsom salt baths really do work. Magnesium gets in and loosens muscles with no adverse effects to digestive track. Topricin and Sport Gel are great topical anti inflammatories.

My goal for October is to stretch and loosen my hips so Rustle gives me a foxtrot. He was getting pacey but at least now he hard trots so I'm hoping we can get back to a foxtrot.

I have Rustle at a place with 24/7 turn out with the 4 stall shed row in the paddock. He loves it and has thrived there. He was at a place that turned out for 8 hours only every day except if it was raining, too hot, too cold, too "fill_in_the blank" and he was not happy. I moved him a yea...
