The fitter and their knowledge is key! I follow a Facebook page on saddle fitting and there are so many people that had poor fitting saddles that were professionally fit. If there is an option for Velcro knee/thigh blocks I would order one like that, just in case you want them for stability. You can...

Congrats to Michael B and his partner

Sounds like a great idea. Many people cannot afford to show, so volunteering would help cut some of their show costs.

Tanga, they are not a drop noseband. From the directions, it is to sit 2-3 inches above the corner of the mouth. I haven’t ridden in it yet, but I’m hoping she likes it.

Hayburner

I bought the Micklem 2 Competition bridle. The leather is way nicer than the first Micklem and it’s more padded and has the ergonomic head stall. Hopefully, the picky princess likes it

My dog was on Natural Balance for many years, and he did develop heart disease

Heddylamar, I also have a pair of PS of Sweden reins and love them. Mine also have the cradles but I haven’t tried them yet. What I like is you can use them or not. I used the product rein aides and I don’t think I had a good connection when I used them and I thought PS cradles would be similar. Mos...

I have looked at a few different brands of these anatomical style bridles, in all the photos, they rea Y do t look like they cut back that far away from ears. Or is it just the way the photos look? Is the Bobby’s well padded? If you wanted to use a flash can you use them with it? I use a flash, but ...

Hayburner

I have looked at the Micklem bridles and IMHO the leather felt stiff, and looked cheap.

Hayburner

I would like to use some of the pretty Le Mieux pads or the PS of Sweden pads, but I use the Thinline pads with thoughts that they do protect my mares back.

Hayburner

Paula, don’t be surprised if she more than tolerates it and actually enjoys it! Be sure to treat it like clippers, run it over her body without it being on. When you turn it on, use the low setting and keep it running for a bit away from her, let her get use to the noise before you get too close to ...

My mare hates any type of grooming spray, even if I just put it on the brush, as soon as she smells it, she scooots! I vacuumed last nite and she again loved it. I wish there was a good attachment for the legs! The metal one that comes with the blue vac doesn’t cut it. I like that with the vac, ther...

Hayburner

I come here frequently to see if there are new posting. Unfortunately, not a lot of activity. I read thru the majority of the topics.

Hayburner

Yes, many people use shop vacs or even a lawn blower. I worried my mare would be so afraid of the vacuum noise, ut it didn’t bother her a bit. She loves being vacuumed. When she sees me bringing it out, she comes to her stall door! I bought mine on eBay, it was never used! I can’t remember the price...

Hayburner

I have the same problem with my mare.
The dust just sticks to her.

I have tried so many different types of brushes and none get her really dust free, I also do a rub rag and it helps a little but not as much as I’d like.

I do have a vacuum and that’s the only way I can get her dust free.

Hayburner

I have more dental implants than I’d care to admit. Right now I am waiting for the final procedure, the crown. This was actually a very old implant and the bone around it was weakening, so I had a nice size pocket around it. My periodontist said years ago they used a larger type implant and that cou...

Oops, I do t have Clip Masters, I have a Double K clipper.

Hayburner

Exvet, I am shocked that shelter vets have not been respected by some in the same profession. Who do they think will care for these animals, when they have been dumped, abused or are very Ill. Without shelter vets there would be no shelters for these animals. There would only be euthanasia and god k...

Thanks for the YouTube link. It can take time to figure out who in your circle is not looking out for your best interests and deep down want you to fail. Glad you have moved on even if it was hard, you are better off now . The horse world has some amazing people and some down right nasty ones too.

Hayburner

Chancellor, where were you able to watch the actual trail?

Thanks

Hayburner

Tanga, Daddy is an enabler! Which may be why she probably felt entitled to Michaels full attention. Yes, I wish they would have mentioned that 5k a month for a couple of horses, training, housing etc is dirt cheap! I agree, if she felt slighted she should have moved on rather than harass him and his...

Hayburner

It was very sad to see such a broken down man, who was once at the top of his game. They kept making her out to be the victim, and in a sense she was, but he too was a victim of her abuse. Imagine having to move out of your home because of being harassed by a tenant/boarder. Calling the police numer...

Hayburner

Thanks for the tip. I’m closing to running out of what I have been using, so I will give this one a try

Flies are getting worse right now and they make my mare crazy.

Hayburner

So glad you are feeling better and the procedure went well.

Hayburner

Saw this on Facebook, very lovely horse and rider

Hayburner

So sorry for your loss

Thank you for sharing how he came to be a part of your life

Hayburner

So glad it was an easy fix and you will be keeping him.

We can’t know it all, don’t beat yourself up.

Hayburner

What a beautiful thing you did for him, he will never forget your kind gesture.

Hayburner

I ride my Wintec Isabell in FITS breeches ,I have never gotten caught or stuck.

Hayburner

Sorry sorry to hear of her passing.

I read so many of her posts and her journey with her heart horse.

Rest In Peace and May she be reunited with her loved ones.

Hayburner

I had a new independent saddle fitter out who does represent Amerigo and Takt saddles. We checked the fit of my old Wintec Isabelle and it does still fit, so no real need for a new saddle. But, I want a new saddle that will help with my position a bit and I would like external knee/thigh blocks, als...

Congrats on your up and coming retirement. I retired in March 2020 and I am busier than when I worked! I can’t seem to get everything done. I had plans to do a big purge on my house and my horse stuff and 2 years later, i haven’t even started. I thought I would have more barn/riding time and that ha...

Hayburner

Sounds like Henry is going to be the perfect pet.

Just love how you ladies have banded together to try and help handsome guy out

Hayburner

I also have been considering moving closer to my small amount of family. A sister and a nephew with a young family. He has a huge extended family on his wife’s side, many friendly brothers, sisters, and in laws. I would down size my current home, but I don’t want to move to retirement village just y...

Hayburner

Ahh, thanks for the update! Gilbert is adorable

Hayburner

I like my Clipmaster unit. I use a #10 wide blade. Usually get blades off eBay. I got a good price on the clippers from eBay a few years ago. My friend who clips many horses also has these clippers. I haven’t had to clip my mare, but my old guy with Cushings, I had to clip a few times a year to keep...

Hayburner

I think Kerrits still makes them

Hayburner

I would ask to move to the other stall.Sounds like a bit better arrangement for you and your horse.

Hayburner

KathyK, I found out I will be able to stay at my barn thru the winter and probably some of next summer. The farm owner is letting 3 of us stay, for 3 months the owner will be away and we girls will handle the horses and rotate shifts for their care. So, I won’t be moving to Bath/Fairlawn for a bit. ...

Hayburner

The calf is too small. I need closer to a 15 inch calf

Hayburner

Their reins also have a cradle that you can use or not use . I love my soft grip PS of Sweden reins. I have smallish hands so they are not bulky at all.

Hayburner

I was looking at one on Facebook Market place, beautiful saddle. It got sold while I was looking for reviews

Hayburner

Does anyone have experience with the Tota Freedom saddles?

I cannot find any reviews

I see the owner use to sell Macriders, not sure if he still does, but I have a beautiful one that doesn’t fit my portly mare.

Thanks

Hayburner

These might fit me!

I need to check your size and numbers to see how they match up.to.my current boots

Hayburner

Just saw his post on Facebook, asking his followers to come to this site to clear his name and reputation

Hayburner

Paula, I pay $750 with very experienced owners, excellent care and a beautiful relaxing atmosphere. Horses are all fat and happy…unfortunately, the farm is being sold so I will have to move.

Hayburner

Thanks Kathy! I really like the looks of this one

Thanks

Hayburner

Thanks Linda! From the website it sure looks like I would like it there! I am spoiled at my present facility but they are closing and moving south so it will be hard to move and find some place comparable. I’m not in Ohio yet, but I want to see what out there before I decide to move. My area now is ...
