Nope Have you ever been to Canada, eh?

Are you qualified for US Nat'ls or Sport Horse? Heck even if you look at the SHOES horses in huntseat are wearing, that's a giveaway. They're wearing longer, heavier shoes than what they used to. They're overbent, overanimated. It's amazing that Park classes nowadays are very small ... because...

I'm partial to Polish/Crabbet crosses myself.

A lot of the "hotness" comes from the trainers!! They spend most of their preliminary time shanking and snapping whips at them (not hitting the horse but just snapping it over their ears) to get them all fired up. I was very disgusted with a Show Hack class I saw back in 2006. For those that...

It's because they're breeding a lot of them to look like deer. They're breeding with longer backs and thinner bone. If you look at the halter horses from the early 1980s and before compared to now, it's like comparing a bull to a stag. Bay-Abi and *Bask who both won halter national...

A few riders from out of state competed on MI's 250 mile Shore to Shore in a McClellan. BTW, I've heard more MEN than women find the McClellan comfortable. That may be because of, er, differing conformation ;) Actually, cavalry today refers to helicopter unit. And when you become an officer...

Look like fly/insect bites to me. Some of them can be nasty. 3 years ago, my mare was bitten by something between her leg and her teat. Both leg and teat swelled up and she could barely walk. My usual vet was out of town so the cow vet came out, took her blood and a phone call and $200 later...
