Solaris - I have joined AERC facebook page. I am one that does do my homework and reserach with anything new I start. I also am huge into natural horsemanship. I am actually a Parelli student, but I also watch and take advise/suggestions for a plethera of other horsemen/women as well. It is very important to me that I form a healthy partnership with my horse before I do anything. He is awesome on the ground and we are finally getting back to saddle work now. The friend that is helping me work out

Lil C started his job yesterday and started training for his first endurance race in November! My sweet lazy boy has to go to work! When I got him 3 years ago I wanted to do endurance riding with him. When my life got interrupted by my cancer, it kinda put everything on hold. So, now I am back at it and he did great. Really good. We rode pretty hard and he wasn't winded a bit, even in the heat. I guess his 15 months as a pasture potatoe has not been to easy on him after all. But he is young,

Wow! Thank you so much Jayne! Today was my 2nd day working with him. I am just sooo out of shape. I cannot believe how tired I am and how shaky I was when I got off my horse today. I felt like I had been riding for hours and hours, not just 1.5 hours. It really whipped me.

Hey everyone! I have moooovvvvved! C and I are at our new barn! I love it, love it, love it. I am surrounded by intellegent horse people that are super nice. I also have access to 6,000 acres of riding land. Went on a 10 mile ride today. Wore us both out! We haven't been on ride like that in 18 months. Felt GREAT! The owner ... of the barn is a horse crazed woman that is very intellegent and is going to help me take C from a green broke horse to refinement. Started this afternoon. Got there at

We are outside of Charleston, SC - a little town called Summerville. The barn is right on the Ashley River so I can ride to the river - can't get in, sits on a high bluff no way down to the river - on one side and then there is 4,000 acres of land that belong to our local paper mill company, and 2,000 acres that belong to a huge historical plantation/barn - Middleton Place - that has obstacle course for horses. They are implementing more things now for extreme cowboy competitions! My new barn

Buckskin, Maybe you should at least try to put him in with the other now gelded studs... who gelded them? Are you aware that in the wild that young stallion bands run together. Just because he is still a stallion does not mean anything to other males. Expecially if they are gelded males. Horses are not solitary animals, it is in their genetics for stallions/males run together. Look at wild horse herds. Once the young stallions reach a certain age they all run in stallion herds until the get their

That is exactly right Solaris, there are so many cons out there today.. I personally have had people try to con me a couple of times, but because I kept asking questions I was able to figure it out before I lost any money on a scam. When someone post on a forum that none of us really know and that poster is asking for $1600 for a horse we know nothing about, in my opinion, it is foolish and irresponsible NOT to ask questions. Especially when your original post is so confusing. The owner will kill

Beautiful neat jewelry for barefooters - or even non-barefooters. It is horse hooves, tastefully made. http://www.naturalhoofmedallions.com/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Natural-Hoof-Medallions/119659424762094#!/pages/Natural-Hoof-Medallions/119659424762094?sk=wall

Good for you! When I joined several months ago I went thru the search engine and found all kinds of cool horse stuff. All your major magazines have links, EquiSearch, I have a Kentucky/Rocky Mountain horse so I found links with that. I get all kinds of cool information that comes through every day. I am really glad I joined! Sherrie

Oh! Sorry! Nope, not that at all! Funny, I have one of Lil' c's teeth, too. I actually was there when it fell out. I was watching him chew and saw blood in his mouth. Looked and found the bloody tooth and when I touched it, it moved enough to bug him. So for the next 30 minutes he played with it with his tongue and of course I did NOT have my camera that day. It was funny watching him work that tooth with his tongue. So now I have baby teeth for my kids, dogs and horse!..lol. Sick. Take your
