They are expensive, but last a very long time if you care for them properly - I love Pikeurs and I get them from Amira Equi, which is a lot less money than SmartPak or Dover. Look at the McCrown fullseats. https://www.amirashop.co.uk/cgi-bin/ss000099.cgi?FILTERPAGE=Pikeur-Brand-General.html&gcli...

oh no what a disaster! I hope they can fix it but I don't see how you can salvage warped oak. Let us know how it goes (and I hope your shoulder feels better soon). You guys must be beyond stressed!

LeoApp

Well good for you!! It is always good to keep learning and keep doing!

LeoApp

omg Rockabilly! What a journey. How scary. I am so glad you let us know how you are doing and that you are improving. Jingles for you!! (((Hugs)))

LeoApp

Got my first Pfizer shot yesterday. I was so excited! My arm is the standard amount of sore that I get with vaccines. The worst sore arm I ever had was with the Shingrix shot. OMG it was swollen and itchy but you couldn't scratch the itch, let alone touch the area, because it hurt. It was like getti...

LeoApp

I am sorry. Sometimes it seems life piles on the crap all at one time. (((hugs)))

LeoApp

((((hugs))))

Who would want to keep a horse like this? It has nothing to recommend it. It is dangerous, unfriendly, has health issues and is not even rideable? Just looking at this from an objective person's perspective, I would not waste one more cent on this horse. Can you imagine a non-horsey person reading t...

LeoApp

I have a 2017 Crosstrek and love it!! Subaru's have a good reputation for lasting a long time. The symmetrical AWD is fantastic in the snow. Good outward visibility front and back, and the interior is nice. Good mpg too. CVT's are in all of the cars now if you don't get a manual. A lot of cars now d...

LeoApp

My eye doc says I have early cataracts and will need to get them removed at some point. I guess he will tell me when. I will be 59 soon but other than driving at night being harder to do than it used to, I don't see any issues. Good luck and let us know how it goes! I am definitely interested in hea...

I was supposed to go on a riding trip through Normandy on 8/28 but canceled it. I am still waiting to call Delta in case they cancel or change the flights such that I can get a refund. If not, I will get a credit good till 9/2022 and let us HOPE things will be ok by then!! My travel insurance never ...

LeoApp

This summer in the NE has been extra hot and humid. I hate humidity and always have, so needless to say I cannot WAIT for it to cool down. My riding trip to Normandy was canceled and I hope I can take it next year. I was taking riding lessons to just get some time in the saddle (before Normandy) but...

LeoApp

Yeah, no problem for me. My life hasn't changed that much, thanks to being able to work from home. If I never see my co-workers again I wouldn't care. They were just people I worked with and not friends. I am still seeing my friends in safe ways and taking a riding lesson once/week. I have been hiki...

LeoApp

Can't you put the dog crate in the garage somewhere? Start doing that so they get used to it and then move it out where you can see it so you can close the door when they are inside.

LeoApp

It is jarring to be horseless after a lifetime of having them. It is how we define ourselves, I think. But it sounds like the outcome was the best of a bad situation. The two most important things are your health and having your horses land in a place where you know they are well cared-for a loved. ...

LeoApp

Congratulations! I think Gilbert is a grand old name. (I don't think most people would tell you to your face that they didn't like the name. )

LeoApp

I would talk to the neighbors and say to them something like, "you probably didn't know this but that storage shed you put up is not allowed by the HOA. I wanted to let you know before the HOA gets any complaints." Something like that. Make it that you are doing it for THEM not for you.

LeoApp

The only party presenting the timeline of events as "one time 47 years ago" is the accused. Same move as Rob Gage and George Morris, actually. And then lo and behold it's not just one time 47 yrs ago, it's actually a pattern of predatory behavior. Yes absolutely! These people are predator...

LeoApp

If I were doing it all over again I'd first get some intel on his mother.... Better yet - get intel on how he TREATS his mother. I am so not interested in dating or having a relationship. I am not lonely at all. Have lots of friends, lots of interests. I don't want to be talked down to, told what t...

Happy Birthday Riot!

LeoApp

I hate to burst peoples' bubble, but there may never be a vaccine. There still is no vaccine for HIV. With that said, even if things start to open up in the next month or two, it will be focused, small in scale, and regional in nature. People who are vulnerable like your dad still need to isolate. N...

LeoApp

I heard about the quake today! Glad you are doing OK! I didn't even know Utah and Idaho got earthquakes and now it's like the world seems to be ending.

LeoApp

I am so sorry for your loss. You gave him a wonderful life. With the way things are now, it just is extra sad.

LeoApp

My salary was also cut 10% but right now I am happy to have an income and health care.

LeoApp

Essential services are not shutting down. NY is quickly accelerating in cases. The hospitals are already filling up. We have some drug trials happening that started yesterday. One is using plasma from people that already recovered from the virus. I am hoping that these trials work and can 1) help pe...

LeoApp

Leoapp, you have to stay up and push the button at 12.01... that's the only way I got to make it work for me here. Tried that too!! No go. However, we went to Costco last night at 8 pm in the pouring rain. NO ONE was there (it looked closed!!) and got lots of things. There was no chicken but plenty...

LeoApp

You guys don't live in NY. We have tried all the normal services. There is stuff to put in your cart but then you go to check out and there are no delivery dates available.

LeoApp

piedmontfields - it's true - people need to restrict their movement from region to region as much as possible. My world has gotten very small. I have nowhere to go and I want to go nowhere. Even thinking about going to the supermarket is stressful. The food delivery services are maxed out and have n...

LeoApp

Those of you driving back and forth to the barn and riding your horse maybe should think hard about the risk you are taking. If you get hurt you do NOT want to be in a hospital right now. I am in New York and we are an epicenter. It is bad and it is not going to get better for months. Do not think y...

LeoApp

Those NatGeo expeditions are well-regarded! I am hoping the same thing for my trip in late August/early Sept.

LeoApp

I am so sorry for your loss. I am glad that you were able to bring him home for his last days.

LeoApp

It boggles my mind how disgusting some people are. You said the house was gross. The yard is just an extension of that attitude. I guess you should be thankful the dogs were house trained. <sarcasm/>

LeoApp

I am so sorry to hear that a horse was lost. Although I am glad it wasn't worse. It's every horse owner's nightmare. So glad your horse is ok.

LeoApp

My riding vacation was with Equitours. I was with a friend for that ride. However, I did a riding vacation through the Loire Valley last year by myself and it was fantastic. In fact, I am going with the same tour guide this Sept and doing a Normandy ride. I absolutely loved the food, the wine, the s...

LeoApp

I was there on a riding vacation. Loved it. Very beautiful and the people are wonderful. East Coast is lush/jungle and has a Caribbean flair to it. Over the mountains and on the West Coast, it's dry and even has cacti. National Parks are fantastic there and of course Arenal volcano and hot springs! ...

LeoApp

That is so kind and thoughtful of them. I am sure you were hysterically crying once again with that gift. It's ok. He was worth the tears.

LeoApp

I have a pair of Petrie 3000's. Size 6 US and fairly narrow calf. I think I wore them about two times. My showing days are over. Anyone want them? I can send pics. I am 5'4 110 lbs so they are for a person small in stature. Pay the shipping and they are yours for free.

LeoApp

For me I think it's just leftover anxiety that I had - I always worried about my boy. Especially as he got older.

LeoApp

I dream about my horse every once in a while. Every time I do, it's that I go to the barn, but it's all different/rearranged, and I can't find him. I can't find his stall. Then I finally find him, and he's horribly underweight or crippled or SOMETHING bad. I lost him 4 years ago. He had a stroke at ...

LeoApp

I have a friend who SWEARS BY Platinum Performance!

LeoApp

You always did right by Fergus and he knew that. I am so sorry for your loss and my eyes are stinging with tears. (((hugs))). It is so hard to do, but on the other hand, not that hard if you love them enough. I am glad the vet reinforced that the decision you made was the right one at the right time...

LeoApp

Your home is absolutely stunning! Wow. That should sell in a NY minute!

LeoApp

I am so sorry.

LeoApp

I do a Vinyasa flow yoga class every Saturday morning at 7:30. I have been doing this class for 10 years and everyone in the class pretty much has also been coming for that long. It's the only yoga I do all week, but I also do Pilates once/week, and two times/week I do a body sculpting class with we...

LeoApp

you are a true super hero! Well done and congrats!!

LeoApp

Wow! What a story!

LeoApp

Moving just sucks. Period. I wish you the best of luck with it and getting the horses situated. I hope that when all is said and done, your life will be a lot less complex and just a bit easier for you.

LeoApp

He is adorable!!

LeoApp

How did the riding feel?

LeoApp

Holy crap. Good for your friend! I hope the horse can go through life without pain. I am kind of speechless actually.
