Cramps while riding + bareback pad suggestions?
Hey guys! I have a couple things to ask about. First, I love riding bareback and I wish I could do it more often. However, I have an extremely narrow-built Thoroughbred. High withers, very bony back, impossible to ride bareback. I have tried riding him bareback with a thick pad, but it didn't help much. I'm interested in investing in an actual ( Read more... ) -
Help!
I have to sell my lovely mare due to finance and time restrictions. She has been for sale for a year and I am getting nowhere! I have her listed on equine.com, equinenow and horsetopia. Behind the cut I've included a couple of pictures and videos of her as well as the text from the ads I have posted. I am wondering if anyone has any advice as to ( Read more... ) -

Tack Room Clearout: IT ALL MUST GO!
I'll be honest, not all of it is going. I'm retaining my two driving harnesses, one western saddle and my trail gear for trail riding on my Haffie gelding, a bareback pad and a sidepull for my mare and some odds and ends I can't live without, but as I have a very small tack room, and having recently made the decision to cut back on riding in favor ( Read more... ) -

Wide boots?
I've always worn wide boots and shoes and sucked up the fact that this wasn't usually an option for actual riding boots, other than my Ariat paddock boots I've had forever. An old break in a foot and subsequent change to its conformation required it, and a recent surgery to stem those problems will demand it from now on. But all the boots I see ( Read more... ) -
Massage and colic preventative
About 2 years ago I moved from Texas to Wyoming with my TB gelding. He initially had a hard time adjusting to weather and was colicing off and on every time the weather took a dip overnight. I put him on a probiotic and that seemed to be the end of that ( Read more... ) -
Cleaning girly parts
My new mare has been rubbing her tail so I took a look underneath while grooming recently and sure enough it was dirtyyyyy. She is quite sensitive in that general area- makes faces when I brush or curry so I have been slowly desensitizing around her belly to expand the region where I can hold my hand and brush to eventually being able to reach her ( Read more... ) -
