I'm so sorry about your kitty Josette. What a heartbreak.

Congratulations on successful trailering experience and jingles for quick healing for the pony!

Never, in a million years, would have thought I'd homeschool my child[ren] but here we are. I homeschool one of my daughters. I want to start off by saying that I didn't intend to homeschool. I didn't want to homeschool. I thought homeschooling was a thing religious wackos living in hovels somewhere...

Somehow I missed this. So glad the procedure went well and you're on the mend, Paula!

Siamese have such distinct little faces. I love seeing your pictures and I am also quite curious how the nail trimming went. Do you still have most of your fingers?

Snork

I am very sorry for your loss, except. I remember your stories of him well.

This is Movado under harness, to "Shine On" but it's before the accident.

I sometimes think of sac and wonder how she is doing. I wish we hadn't lost touch.

The market is absolutely red hot, and that 2-year old was a steal. I now have an 11-year old who is riding. She was a serious gymnast who had one of those "serious gymnast" falls. Time and rehab are healing the body, and to my absolute joy, horses and dogs are helping with the heartbreak. ...

We're binge watching Outer Banks this week. So far (we're done with E8S1) it is really good! As an added bonus, it is, for the most part (there is some drug and alcohol use, and one of the main characters has an abusive father who beats the living daylights out of him) family friendly (certainly com...

I am so sorry Mountaineer. What a heartbreak.

Snork

Congratulations! She looks like a very cool critter.

Oy. My stomach clenched just reading this. House renovations are the worst, and the only thing worse than house renovations are house renovation mishaps. Fingers crossed the floors can be saved.

I'm thirding a donation.

I had my second shot on Monday. I didn't expect much reaction since I barely even had a sore arm after the first, and, frankly, I kind of thought that the people complaining of side effects might just be on the sensitive side. After all, people complain about reaction to flu shot too, and I get a fl...

Snork

Rockabilly, I missed you. I don't post very much but I do still read the board. I missed you, and I wondered how you were. I'm sorry you had to go through so much pain, and I'm glad you feel better now!

Snork

Congratulations!!!

And Aunt Becky is only getting 2 months in prison. Apparently, today was a good day to be a sleaze.

... I wonder why we keep them? Do we just want to keep remembering them? I think, for me at least, deleting them also feels like a saying that they don't belong here anymore, there's no space for them. Nothing could be further from truth. LaurieB is in my phone and seeing that number is like a tiny...

It seems like a lifetime ago when we actually planned, and then went on, trips. Sometimes the only way I know it really happened is because the Facebook memory reminders come up on my own feed. We missed out on quite a lot of travel. The annual "let me catch my breath and just be" trip to ...

social distancing has been really easy for me, in many ways it has been a relief. Obviously I don't like the reason we are having to distance, but I am not struggling with it like many are. In fact, I have been thinking about how hard it will be for me to adjust back to normal social interactions w...

It's been a few years since I looked into it, but at the time I compared prices, UPS was, by far, the best deal.

Congratulations!

Rockabilly, WITPE stands for Where Is That Puke Emoticon. We used to use it, years back. :) Apple finally listened and now one can liberally sprinkle green vomiting icons through one's text messages but I don't believe we have it on the board. For shame, because this is one place where it would be r...

The USAG "permanently ineligible" list is a mile long, and growing. Athlete A, horrifying as it is, barely scratches the surface of what went on with Nassar and the associated creeps. Nassar was, and is, a monster but he could have never gotten away with what he did if it hadn't been for d...

SafeSport would not not issue a lifetime ban for a 47 year old one-time event any more than Santa can ban the Tooth Fairy.

For so many people, doing the right thing is all a lot of talk - they watch an animal suffer and slip until the light goes out. You're so brave to give your sweet boy that most unselfish, painful gift of passing before the world was unbearable. Hats off to you and lovely Fergus, and many gentle hug...

This looks so, so fun. Alas, WC is the same weekend as the Regionals for my kiddos so I'll be sitting in some midwestern city watching 300 little girls and boys in leotards while you chill in Vegas.

Now when I put that day, can someone tell me, again, why my kids aren't into horses?

Snork

Fingers crossed!

I think Roy Moore's horse had a twitter account at one point, the poor critter. It was hilarious.

I found the list exceedingly funny despite owning an extensive collection of German breeches and matching saddle pads and polos.

I think the person you most need to talk to is bascar. She will know that area like the back of her hand. Is bascar here?

For people emergencies, easiest way to get automatic travel insurance is to use one of the premium cards - Chase Saphire Reserve or Citi Prestige. Travel insurance is included for up to the amount paid with the card (sometimes more) for any interruption/cancellation that is done for a covered reason...

First, scruffy I’m so very very sorry. I’m sick for, and with you. There is so much repugnant stuff in this industry, both due to willful ignorance and complete lack of moral standards, that being disappointed is almost a given. Some of the best and worst people hang out around horses, and a whole l...

I bought the trailer through the dealer in TX. There's another one in MD but TX was closer, and, honestly, gave me a better deal on the particular trailer I wanted (pretty color with a drawing. I'm reasonable like that. HA!) I can look it up for you but I think at the time (2017) the list price was ...

Snork

Thanks Xan and WheresMyWhite. The youngest's coach recommended the shoe but he is from Europe and not intimately familiar with the non-FIG rules. IWAs are standard issue for international competition, and also allowed in USA by USAG, our national (rather disgraced, currently in bankruptcy proceeding...

I'll second/third/fourth tacos that everyone can assemble as they see fit. I have had sleepovers where one kid only put in meat, another only cheese and the third just about everything.

Waffles, scrambled eggs and pancakes are good for breakfast.

If all else fails, everyone eats buttered toast. HA

Snork

Thank you! A very good point about the swoosh potentially being treated as another decoration, and one I hadn't thought about. Unfortunately the swoosh is a big reason for getting these particular shoes in the first place - from what I understand, the swoosh part acts somewhat like a rock tape in ho...

Snork

This is not at all horse related but given that it deals with leather and horse people are mavericks, I can't imagine a better place to ask. Can I dye the gold leather in the "swoosh" in these shoes white? Will it hold? I need to get these shoes (German) to conform to these requirements (o...

I have a Boeckmann Portax K (I think. Maybe E. The one with two full size groom doors instead of a door and a second ramp). It is a fantastic trailer, basically an upgraded Brenderup, and I tow with an SUV. I'm a nervous, inexperienced tower who gets spooked at a drop of a hat but this particular co...

... the sire, Semper Fidelis, is by Tzigane? So jumping lines Trakehner. But the damsire is Regazzoni. I've only personally known one horse by him, but by all accounts he was pretty representative (with the usual warnings the plural of anecdote is not data and all that). Beautiful, overly sensitive...

Oh no. I hope you feel better soon!

If I’m not mistaken, last time harmless banter like this on this board landed aregard and bj in Ireland. Hunting. For reals.

Turquoise and caramel are spoken for. DappleField, I'm in Chicago - I think the connection is that at one point you were in Omaha which is where my in-laws live as well.

But I'm happy to mail the fuchsia to you!

I have too many saddle pads, as evidenced by the fact that these three sets haven't even been taken out of their packaging. My best friend is threatening to disown me and any day the husband will accidentally open the door to what he thinks is our second laundry to realize it's actually a tack close...

I laughed out loud at Totolony.

Hmmm, my best friend, a vet, might just have a French horn. I think it was French horn she was playing. It's a nice one too.

If not, I'll ask if my kids want to part with their harmonica
