So, tell me ... how many saddle pads do YOU own?
Over the years I have collected way too many stiff and soft brushes. I've also started up a collection on bits...

"Because this.. Is not awkward at all"
I have a Belgian/Tbred that I bought out of the nurse mare as a weanling from Kinghaven farms. He's a big boy but surprisingly light on his feet and now at 18 is a schoolmaster. He was dressage trained, showed as an Ami-A Jumper and then the kid nab…
Oh I am going through the same thing, but it seems to be a bit longer of a heartattack process. One of my fur-babies has a nasty huge abscess in her foot and can no longer walk properly without limping in pain. it's just a god-awful thing to go to t…
Awww, my little girl (who is not so little!) is half belgian. She is six years old and stands at 16.2 hands. She's also part thoroughbred. The two breeds seem to conflict each other. She is the sweetest horse alive, on the ground. But undersaddle sh…
haha I think this one is the best
This is a group for people who have been hurt in their life and found love and healing through horses. We also just discuss horse-related topics such as their health and tips for riding.
I wear a winter paddock boot with a suede half chap, this keeps the feet and lower legs really warm. I also wear a thermal sock, you can buy them at any sport shop, and you can also put in a insole liner with an insulated bottom to keep the cold out…
I use battery-operated socks inside regular winter snow boots. I change out my stirrups to something big enough to accommodate the bigger boots. Toasty without getting too warm.
Hi, Michelle:
I ride in the interior of British Columbia, where we get lots of cold and snow. I ride in Mountain Horse Ice High Riders, and they are a godsend! I wear thick wool socks in them, and they keep me warm and cosy through my tacking up an…
When I get in the saddle (especially after an extended time) it feels like coming home. There are days I wouldn't get out of bed if it weren't for the horse chores! They are my recreation, my exercise, but mostly my therapists!
I just bought a pair of Mountain Horse Mountain High Riders. They rock! They have a lot of extra room in them for doubled socks and extra pant layers. They're very waterproof (my #1 criteria). They break in relatively quickly. I'm very pleased and s…
Thank you so much for your responses! I have taken them into great consideration, thank you so much! :)
I have dressage boots, the leather is stiff rather than them being tight around the foot or leg, so they are ideal for winter. I have boots done so they fit with an insole and a thicker sock.
If that's not possible, you can get the neoprene boot co…
Hi,
I had that same problem too! I went all last winter riding in summer boots, and I got frost bite on my toes so many times!
This year, I opted to keep riding in my summer boots, but buy a pair of winter riding socks to wear inside. Here is what I…
Hi there,
I hope this got your attention because I sure do need your help!

Profile Information
- About Me:
- Hi everybody! Obviously I am a horse crazy lover. I love to do trail riding, hunter, jumper (Although I don't compete in jumper, I do it for fun) and I am beginning to get into XC. I am rehabilitating and training my new Belgian Draft/TB cross of four months at the moment. I rescued her from a really run down place and they almost messed her up for life but now she is a happy and energetic six year old who likes cuddles and jumping over fences that she's not supposed to jump. I have three other horses, Cookies N Cream (racking horse), Everybody Loves Raymond (QH, but not rideable anymore :( ) and Bandit (my Paso Fino mix :) ). I have two miniature donkeys, Max and Harvey and two llamas, Cosmo and GiGi. I also have three dogs, Jenny, Angel and Charlie. Only two our of four of my horses are rideable. Cookies is no longer rideable due to an injury in her hoof. I am very sad because she was my first horse and I love her very much. Raymond is no longer rideable for several reasons, but we love him even though he can be a poohead. I am now searching for a new horse, somewhere around the area of Houston or Brenham, Texas. It must be rideable (of course) and it must be able to be ridden bareback (I love riding bareback, even jumping bareback). It doesn't have to be an english horse, a western trail horse is okay too. If you have any information please let me know :) xxx
P.S.: I need a new english saddle and western saddle!

ATTN all WINTER RIDERS
Hi there,
I hope this got your attention because I sure do need your help!
I live in Houston, Texas, and if you know Houston, Texas - Houston has nasty winters sometimes that snow, and rain, and are humid, and gross and FREEZING all at the same time!! So I was wondering.. Does anyone know of any kind of Winter Boot that I can ride in? One that is snug and cozy and hopefully looks good too. I love my regular "Tall Boots" (that's what I dubbed them, they are black pleather zip ups that go to my… Continue

For the Lost (Everyone Should Read This)
You may think this is just another story about a girl who lost her first horse... Or is losing her first horse. But I am losing my soulmate, my only friend, and the being who gave me a second chance at life. Cookies has extremely sever founder, and chances are grim. The poem below explains all, and I think everyone could relate to it. If you can't, you haven't experienced life or true love. Comment if you wish, but no mean comments, this is a really hard time for me.
For my beloved friend, soul… Continue

Thanks Jennifer! I was joking. I'm just checking back in now and realize people didn't realize that. Well kinda joking. You see if you never figure it out, you can always honestly answer "I don't know, it's worth it, whatever it is" when asked. I re…
