    The farrier Angus White...

    IMO alot of local farriers are an "odd" lot! Please, Oh Farrier Gods help us in Southern Maryland! I just had a similiar event with a local farrier who I could NEVER recommend! 1- I did not like his cocky attitude, but mostly I don't understand "the I don't want to be told/informed...

    Shoulder's Back

    : When I was hunting for this, (for I have terrible posture both on and off a horse and somehow in my youth I thought bad posture would hide a big chest) I seem to remember you could get one a Walmart for a lot less than Dover. Refinement of aids is the name of the game for educated riders...

    Lessons learned on the trails?

    I too, trailer everywhere, even when only a mile! But, I think it is absurd that for the safety of my horse/self I have to! We DEFINATELY need more education, manners and general kindness! Two years ago, while in England for the summer, I was amazed that people did not become rude when they...

    Where are you showing in 2010??

    Me too, they look so sweet! One day I want a granddaughter that loves horses, riding, and yes the clothes too! And I am going to spoil her, then send her home for her parents to worry about character. But for now, the toys in this house all have wheels, motors...its a male world!

    Water-proof blanket repair

    I too swear by heavy duty duck tape! ( I keep a roll at barn and trailer if hubby does not steal it:tantrum) Especially if reasons prevent taking up to ELam's. Last spring Turbo's Blanket had two duck tape patches that held for weeks until the end of season and I washed it as well.

    Boot Repair

    I too was not very impressed either. Did not get boot fixed when they said they would, 2 weeks longer with me bugging them. Then they only did some minor zipper repair that didn't work instead of replacing the zipper after telling me they could. I too, found more help sending boots back to...

    Best Barn Features

    Those stalls are beautiful! As wonderful and needed as the air flow is I hate all the kicking, fussing, ... that seems to occur with half walls with grills so I am back to wanting full side walls with half wall fronts with mesh doors. Could not live w/o hot/cold water wash rack ever again...
