I'm west coast just above San Francisco. I'm 63 and ride 4 out of 7 days a week, I watch 2 of my grandchildren 2 days a week and have 1 day to garden. I love Mare Stare.

Years ago we were awaiting a foal and were sleeping in the barn center hall outside the stall to be there just in case. We were all so excited, the children and a couple of friends, we were up late staring at the mare. We all woke next morning and…
Tracy McDermott replied to leanne hall's discussion 'Does Anyone here participate in Western Dressage?' in the group Over 50 crowd
Liken it to a gymnast wearing tennis shoes and blue jeans with a sweatshirt as compared to a body suit and foot gloves. Cinch, weight and tree break are different between western and flat dressage saddle. A horse can compensate. Actually bareback…
Tracy McDermott replied to Linda White's discussion 'Nasty leg pain after riding' in the group Over 50 crowd
Linda it sounds like you are stepping into the stirrup instead of holding with the knee and leg. If the pain is frontal ie:groin to foot, not involving the lower back then you might be pushing down to much into the stirrup with your hips tilted…

Leanne it isn't the equipment that makes dressage it's how you use your body and can communicate with your horse. If you ride the trail and are good at it you will find low level dressage used all the time. Leg yield, balanced turn on…

My husband has participated as an instructor in a Cancer Research program for Cancer survivors. Some of these sick folks are on Chemo, some radiation, some are between treatment schedules. They had their saliva tested for a particular hormone, I…

Vickie: Have an ornament or carving with Simons name and dates (that you know) and hang it in the barn or porch overhang. Just having it and having the good feelings you remember of him every time you see it is good for you and the world. His…

Vickie: I know that blister beetles that have swarmed in a hay field and are cut with the hay and baled can cause exactly that damage. The beetles are green and yellow with hard little bodies. I'm sorry for your loss, every horse I've had…

Vickie your coach is right from a coaches perspective but from the horses perspective that is one of the hardest maneuvers to do physically. The weight center and propulsion are completely different and until your horse can understand what is asked…
Tracy McDermott replied to Ashley's discussion 'Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation loses funding from Mellon estate, New York Times reports' in the group Barnmice News
Why not make the owners who raise and race these horses pay a retirement fee that is collected along with the entry fee for each horse, also a retirement fee is collected from each race winnings (before customer pay out, it would be a % of winnings)…

Tracy McDermott commented on PJ's group 'Over 50 crowd'
April as I said your money spends like theirs, you might be doing these owner/operators a favor by possibly having the long term boarders speak up to someone in the operators clan that can deal with this, maybe let this newbie manage. It's a…
Tracy McDermott commented on PJ's group 'Over 50 crowd'
April, Does the proprietor know any of this?? That is the first person to talk with, they will be in a position to put out fires so to speak. Your money spends just like theirs. It's in the operators best interest to NOT have buddied up horses…
