If your instructor is able to get through more than three bottles of wine in a lesson, you probably have the wrong instructor. Or your instructor has the wrong pupil. You should never drive instructors to alcoholism, no ...

Is it time for a new bit? Walk into your local tack shop and chances are you will be overwhelmed by the number of shiny bits hanging on the wall. Which of those shiny, sleek looking bits will be the best one for you and your horse? Bit designers sometimes promise miracles, but f ...

I swear if I stare at a horse long enough, it will either become sick or lame. As I over-analyze every move, the nuance of a tail flick, a shortened stride, or a momentary odd way of standing, my mind races to the cause. Never mind that the tail flick means there was a biting fly ...

Winter can present some challenges when it comes to keeping your horse groomed. If you've got a grey, palomino, cremello or pinto or any other white or pale colored horse, you might not recognize your horse until spring, because manure stains, mud and other grime can turn your ho ...

It's everywhere! Hanging over stall walls, off that nail in the wall, over the bridle hooks, and saddle stands. There may even be a pile of it in a corner somewhere. Binder twine. You may call it baler twine, baler twine, bale string or various other names when you trip in a pie ...

At least once in a horse owner’s life you will have to sell a horse. Either you have grown out of him or you just didn't have ‘that special bond’. My first experience selling a horse was with my first pony, Freddo.
With Freddo it came quite noticeable that I was growing too ta ...

You've begged and begged, you've kept your grades up, and volunteered at a local riding for the disabled program. You've done all your chores including walking and feeding the dog twice a day. You've even been nice to your brother or sister. But still, your parents won't let you ...

Anybody who has owned or ridden one will know that eventers are machines. Some are scooters, trundling mildly around until they bump into the frist cross country jump and the engine cuts out. Others are monster trucks, ploughing boldly around and demolishing anything in their tra ...

My daughter just moved away from home a few weeks ago. Of course, I’ve been doing the mom thing, worrying about how she is settling in her new home and job. She called me a few days ago, and the first thing she said in a very shaky voice was, 'Oh mom! I’m so upset!' My mom radar ...

I got the news that I was going to be in a barn show July 15th. That was just two days after I had joined my barn. My general reaction was to panic! The show was August 10th, only a few weeks away. This meant I had four Saturday's to get ready. For a girl who had just returned to ...

There are a lot of things you can do to prevent falls. These include riding a horse you can manage, riding in a safe environment, checking your cinch or girth, riding in control and making sure your tack is properly adjusted and in good condition. You should always wear an ASTM a ...

One of the most common questions I hear when people are thinking of buying a horse or learning to ride is ‘am I too big for the horse’. Horses of course, aren't like shoes, so you can't just get on one and know by the feel if you've found a good fit. Interestingly, I think more w ...

Have you always wanted a horse but can't afford the purchase price? There are ways to get horses for free. There is an old saying of course, never look a gift horse in the mouth. That’s because if someone was giving a horse away, it was likely because the horse was too elderly to ...

Have you ever ripped the head off one doll to pop it onto another, or forced a puzzle piece to fit where it doesn't belong? We all know the feeling, looking at something so familiar; yet thinking ‘that doesn't look right’. That is the feeling I get when I see somebody else on my ...

On the same day I went to the horse auction, my daughter Justine had her own adventure at an introductory polo clinic. Polo is a team sport, so she was teamed up with two other young women who made up the ‘colored shirts’ team. The other team wore black shirts. A real match is pl ...

Play days, costume classes, gymkhanas and parades are all great occasions to decorate your horse! You don’t really need an occasion of course. Decorating your horse can be a great activity for non-riders. So when those city cousins are visiting, and you’re tired of giving pony ri ...

My sister, who is a horse dealer, recently invited me to go to a horse auction. My mother, who repairs and sells tack also came along. Because the tack sale started before the horse auction, we started on the hour and a half drive quite early on a very damp, chilly morning. My hu ...

One time, before going with my daughter to a weekend-long Pony Club camp, I decided that my old yucky riding pants needed to be retired. I tried riding in jeans, but the thick inseams caused considerable discomfort. It was time to splurge on a new pair of schooling tights. I went ...

Do you want a horse? If you're lucky, your parents will want you to have one too. However, there's a good chance they may feel quite opposite. Horses are big, expensive, require time and sweat labor to care for and for some people, scary. So the process of convincing your parents ...

After school one day, I was running a little late while I was putting my books in my locker. For the first time since my dad went into the hospital, I noticed my baseball glove at the top of my locker. It had been untouched for months. Right then I thought, today is the day. Mayb ...

Jane stepped on the edge of her jeans and slipped down a stair. She gasped and quickly reached for the railing to save herself but Andrew had already caught her. They froze for a moment and Jane very slowly and very carefully grabbed his arms and pulled herself back up as quietly ...

A few years ago, shortly before I bought Trillium, I took some jumping lessons on a little Arabian mare. My coach was a cross country rider who once competed on the same course the 1976 Montreal Olympics was held over. Yes, she jumped her horse over that formidable two pick-up tr ...

I Bayliee101 hated horses, literally. I was scared that they would kick me, bite me, and stand on my feet. I never wanted to go near a horse! I had a bad experience with horses when I was 4, I was riding my 14.1hh friends horse bare back and with no reins. It was just me, the ho ...

As I entered the ring I was confident, I trotted around the 'evil' jumps and cantered over towards the first fence, ironically this was the most challenging to me. It stood at 65cm but was quite wide and brightly coloured. Angel was very hesitant, but with a tap of the whip and w ...

I fell in love with horses when I was three years old, due to a toy horse that I got for my birthday. I grew up as a normal horse crazy kid. My “I love horses so freak’in much stage” didn't fade away like most kids, thanks to my next door neighbor. She owned five horses at the ti ...

If you are like most horse lovers, you pay hard earned money for your horse themed novelty items, only to see them sell for next to nothing at your local tack sale. That equine themed cell phone holder you paid $60 for ends up as a worthless strap of leather two years later. The ...
