What's your horse's story...
Started Sep 25, 2010 0 Replies 0 Likes
Let's face it, each of our horses has a story. So, I thought I'd share one of mine. I'll add the other ones as we go. I'd like to hear yours. Cass (Casablanca) I'd been out of riding for about 5…Continue

I know people think I'm nuts, but I've had other people load my mare into unfamiliar trailers in the event that she was colicking and needed to go to the clinic, but same goes for evacuation. The good loaders will…"

I've been riding in the same Stubben Avalon forabout 5 years. I get it tended yearly, making sure it fits my darling girl. And her back is just great, she gets a lameness exam yearly too, saddle good, horse good, all good... well, is it?Maggie Mae has been in training awhile now, coming along great, fixing her various foibles. Another woman at the barn tries some saddles, as her horse is actually sore because of his 'custom made' saddle (how many times have we heard that?). Orders a saddle,…See More

MagsNMe commented on Anna Blake's blog post Braids and Breeches: The Perfect Ride."Very lovely. It makes me also remember that the big girl is 25 and we're very lucky to still have her and should cherish every moment."
MagsNMe commented on Barbara F.'s blog post Cesar Parra, Abusive Reiners and Our Own Hypocrisy"Amen Barbara. We were discussing animals last night, and one of my co-workers expressed a well worn notion... we shall be judged as a society by the way we treat our animals... Let us not condemn ourselves by turning a blind eye."
MagsNMe commented on Anna Blake's blog post Can We Talk About Barn Bathrooms?"When we first moved to the barn we're at, it was still under construction, so we had a porta potty until the bathroom was finished. It was damned cold in the winter, but it did break me of my compulsive need to hit the 'ladies'…"

MagsNMe commented on Jackie Cochran's blog post It Looks Like Merlin is Cheering Up"In the case of my horse, she never really got in front of the leg on the ground (longing), so, of course, couldn't be under saddle.

Jackie Cochran commented on MagsNMe's blog post My goodness, it's FUN!!!"Stay on your horses' backs, ladies.
Isn't progress wonderful! I'm lucky, my horses did not do those antics, I don't know if I could have stayed on."
MagsNMe commented on MagsNMe's blog post My goodness, it's FUN!!!"Maggie isn't quite that predictable in her sillies. She basically says NO. She learned when she was very young that she could scare people and get them off. And since she's kinda lazy...she uses it!!! Oh but she moves like an angel and…"
Marlene Thoms commented on MagsNMe's blog post My goodness, it's FUN!!!"Yes, my guy has that little buckie-rearie tendency for the first couple of rides after an extended vacation like winter.

Sounds weird eh? I mean we all know that riding is fun, that's why we do it, right? I love my Maggie, always have. I've had her for 5 1/2 years. She's had some 'training issues' during that time. Okay, when I first got her, you picked up the reins and she'd start kicking and bucking. She actually has a move called the Maggie, it's a buck, leap, rear sort of thing. She's willful. She had some really bad training early on, I got her as a 5 year old. Anyway, we'd made some progress when…

Ah, the innocent words we all hear. Today it was idle chit chat with the cashier. It's a gorgeous day here, going to be 12C, so I mentioned that I was going to take my horse out for a meander. Oh I love horses is the usual response. Me too, of course, I have two... and then the phrase...
I admit, I am lucky, I love my little kids, and I have sufficient health and wealth (okay, not much of either), to allow me to have my horses. But I don't know one horse person that…

Maggie's been in training lately, so all I do is hack her. Although my trainer was out of town dealing with a personal emergency, I've still just been doing that, so that i don't confuse her. So, I was out of work early on Friday and headed to the barn for a hack before the sun went down. We headed to the berry field...
They've finished the fencing of the field next to it, and although the posts have been there for ages, apparently this was a good excuse to spin and bolt,…
