I ordered one in horse size , it is huge...will be ordering another in Cob size and hope it fits, it's a nice mask.

Backyarder3

I would be taking it off at dusk. I am a bit nervous of that wire...would hate to poke it in an eye..but it is the only flymask I've seen that stays away from the eyes enough.

Backyarder3

Has anyone tried these. Every flymask I have tried on my mare touches her eye lashes so she squints all the time...the vet has recommended that she wear one most of the time as her skin pigmentation is prone to skin cancer around the eye. This mask looks great but I'm a bit worried that there is a w...

Darn, Hugs to you!

Backyarder3

Usoa ? dove. Ursilina, little bear.

Backyarder3

I replaced mine when I neded to replace the pads...and at that time realized I had been riding with two different size stirrups...I really don't see anything special about them: supposed to be easier on the ankles http://greenhawk.com/wdItemDesc.asp?strilhID=Web&strmdNumber=RIE3403&stricSKU=...

Backyarder3

So sad, hope you get a nice momento made with the hair.

Backyarder3

Good job!

Backyarder3

quinta, I don't know much about Morgan bloodlines but she is 99.5% foundation, I see a lot of "full Lippit" in her pedigree. Orono, we are taking it slow , I started riding her and because she is quick and has a lot of "go" I am working on transitions within gaits, only w and tro...

Backyarder3

started lunging a bit , she's very responsive, a bit unbalanced in the canter but she tries hard, She's a pleasure to work with.

Backyarder3

Her papers say she is perlino, she's 15, has done a few endurance rides, had a few foals and some western shows. She's also been ridden English. Sweet nature.

Backyarder3

Love kitty pics,,,nice !

Backyarder3

I tried a little Morgan mare on Tuesday and she seems to be in my barn now! Cute as a button and sane too. No riding yet as she;s only just arrived but I hope to be in the saddle soon!

Backyarder3

so sad, it's so hard...hugs

Backyarder3

Terrible problem to have ! Not! Way to go on being a good hay producer!

Backyarder3

You've put a lot of great work into this mare! I'm so glad that this is starting out to be a good year....it can only get better!

Backyarder3

She is a beautiful filly!

Backyarder3

orono, nothing to ride , my old mare is retired, arthritic and stiff and we are pretty sure she had a seizure a month ago, so probably best to stay off her .

Backyarder3

She's found the perfect home. Going back to the person who's had her from birth and his friend, who started Echo will continue her training. They both love her. She'll have a good life, maybe not as a dressage horse but that's okay.

Backyarder3

So sorry to hear this, I did the same thing about a month ago...I was pretty crippled up for 2 1/2 weeks...it does hurt ..and soft tissue injuries take time.I had x rays and had no fractures and my Dr said the ligaments near my spine were sprained. Sending my best healing wishes to you.I bought a ne...

Backyarder3

Well, I've decided to throw in the towel. I don't like the anxiety I feel when I ride, I don't ride because it's fun, I ride because I think we both need the miles, and the rides aren't fun anymore because I don't have full trust in her nor she in me. So before I ruin an potentially talented mare I ...

You can get a YKK zipper at Amazon. Putting it in is a breeze for their alterations people. Sewing stores may have good heavy (coat) zippers too.

Backyarder3

a few more...it was an extremely windy day and I was expecting spooks, but there were none.

Backyarder3

The lesson after the fall....

Backyarder3

I've had two short rides since the lesson, had to get my husband to stand at her head while I mounted...and leadline me a few circles...I hate being afraid..have to shake it off! Once I was off lead we walked quietly , I could tell she was getting bored but she'll have to be patient, I'm not ready f...

Backyarder3

I had a lesson last evening, it went fairly well, but I can tell you that I was very cautious and ill at ease. My tailbone was a little sore so I found it hard to use my seat. I also wore a protective vest which was too long in the back..it hits on my cantle and makes it hard to sit up . I ride in a...

Colt, Tuesday , May 23 rd!

Backyarder3

fergusnc, I have certainly thought of all the lifestyle changes she's gone through...she's lived a very leisurely life except for raising babies. She has lots to be worried about. ...and yep I've also considered physical pain ..as it seems to worry her to canter. I can't afford to send her to the tr...

Backyarder3

Well , I had my instructor come out to ride Echo a few weeks ago, she worked her at walk trot , "go" off her leg...and canter...and she got it..after some panicked moments...she seems to get scared going from trot to canter...weird...like she's being chased..does not know that she can just...

Backyarder3

I want to ride but I am putting it off till I feel in control of my body..I'm still sore and I want to be up there giving clear signals ..not confusing my horse...and I want to feel confident...not guarding my painful spots. My 33 year old niece has been nagging me to ride... she does not "get&...

Backyarder3

I'm 62, I fell hard two weeks ago,and it hurt..It still hurts...Not ready to give up but not enjoying being weak and painful.... Awaiting x-ray results...Dr thinks it may just be ligament trauma at my spine. Sigh...

Backyarder3

Congratulations on having a lovely 7 year old,he looks so sleek and shiny!! Great barn help you have there!

Backyarder3

You must be on cloud nine...A horse woman's high ! Congratulations !

Backyarder3

Welcome fellow Nova Scotia! Nice horses and nice property! So great to have a handy husband.

Backyarder3

Nice!

Backyarder3

Had my first ride, yesterday, since the first of February , he's been very up and playful in the pasture and eager and forward on the lunge so I thought I may get some attitude under saddle....She was a doll! A stray dog was lurking ,watching and at one point charged straight for us across the field...

Backyarder3

I want to do that Teresa, my goal for summer is to do off property things, she's going to be a frightened handful I think. 12 years of staying at home having babies hasn't given her much worldly experience.

Backyarder3

He's a cutie, looks sweet.

Backyarder3

Thanks for the compliment re my youthful appearance westisbest!!! I'm not far behind you! I rode twice a week in Jan but only once in Feb and not since, so I decided to start the season with lunging and to work on the canter.i had tried to get her to canter on the lunge last fall but she was panicke...

Backyarder3

I had one made for my Albion girth ...By the local saddler. It is sheepskin with Velcro closures.

Backyarder3

I'll be working on canter departs in the spring so it's nice to hear other struggles and solutions...I get a big buck with the transition! A bit scary...For me.
Good luck and keep trying..Ok come!

Jemidar...A leader

Backyarder3

I did my two small bedrooms ..Till I got to a very crooked closet and the doorways... I got a retired carpenter friend to do those....Door casings had to be cut to slide the flooring underneath it. Without baseboards and door casings it would be easy.

Backyarder3

Enjoying The Other Queen by Philippa Gregory....But not finding much time to read . Be read a couple of her books and have enjoyed them although the politics and family trees can be mind boggling !

Backyarder3

Best of luck..And take a photographer!! We need pictures !

Backyarder3

He looks great,sleek and lean...My girl is a pudge!

Backyarder3

Hmmm....Don't know what to tell you..My cuddle duds go to my bra line..I bought them second had ..Maybe it's an older style. Right now when I ride I wear an old worn and very baggy stretched out pair of pull on breeches over my jeans.

Backyarder3

Does this pattern show how to make different sizes? I am having trouble finding a fly veil for a draft cross .
