I would only be comfortable with a qualified veterinarian (an equine specialist with an interest in dentistry, as true veterinary dentists are few and far between) floating my horse's teeth. Lay dentists aren't legally allowed to sedate horses for treatment, and I've seen first hand that there...

We might have two foals this coming year, but not super confident about either of them. North Stars Valdez Y Basan, our grand old gentleman at 24, was bred to Toybox Barbie Doll - this cross has already resulted in three beautiful silver dapple pinto fillies. And my baby boy, Circle J On The...

I don't get to the forum as often as I used to, but wanted to wish everyone all the best for 2014! Pictured is my heart horse, Image. He had quite a 2013 - three reserve championships and two judges choices, a molar removal, a mystery weight loss and scary blood work, a nasty leg wound and the...

Curious ... what is the reason? I have a Camptown and would definitely purchase a Comfy Fit instead in the future. In fact, I've been seriously considering selling the Camptown and doing just that - it's just a little too bulky for my A-sized horses. Am I missing something important? ;) Also, I...

Years ago we had mare and foal in a display at Spruce Meadows during the Masters. The mare, Robin, does have a beautiful head. All day we heard, "is she part arab?" Um ... no. Really surprising was when the people from the Arabian breeders booth came over and asked the same thing! I wouldn't...

I've also heard the point team called the sweep team. Very colourful hitch!

Haha, the recording idea is a great one. If I had one it would say, "Pick up your inside hand, don't hang on the outside rein, sit up straight!"

Sounds awesome! It's so great to have a lesson with a good clinician, had one myself this weekend - reminded me of what me and my horse are capable of! Glad you and your mare had such a great time (minus the bucking, of course!) Who was the instructor?

I also would only have a veterinarian float my horse's teeth. I've worked for a vet clinic for - holy smokes - 13 years now, and I've seen lots of cases where all the dental issues weren't even visible until after the horse had been sedated, especially in ponies and Miniature Horses with their...

I'm getting more and more fond of the natural look - I did clip a tiny (1") bridle path on Hawk when he was body clipped for Aggie Days and Mane Event this spring, but left quite a bit more forelock and mane than I normally would on him. I love it, I think he looks like a fairytale horse...

Jennifer Crusie. I savored her back list for as long as I could, and would love to read them again for the first time. Marsha - I've heard lots of people recommend Georgette Heyer, I'll have to check her out. Jill - You know, I'd heard so many people talk about the Stephanie Plum books, and I...

Aww, so sorry to hear she didn't make it through - was it the RITA & Golden Heart awards? I know they were announcing the finalists, was all over my twitter feed. If so, that's a huge deal, kudos to her for even entering!

Good luck to your sister! I've entered writing contests before ... nervewracking!!

I wouldn't read another Twilight book. I would read absolutely anything set in the world of Harry Potter!

I finally finished! I mostly read in bed, and the past couple weeks have been so busy that I was more interested in sleeping than reading, so it took me a little while. I really liked all the characters - very real and lots of fun. Possibly with the exception of CeeCee - I just felt like her...

I wouldn't say I ever don't read - I've been a reader my whole life, and rarely go to sleep without reading for at least a few minutes first. Sometimes that's the only time I have to read. If I get into a good book though, I have a heck of a time putting it down to do other things ... sometimes...

I resist hype, because I'm naturally contrary, but I usually end up having to see what all the fuss is about. Sometimes, like Harry Potter, I'm sorry I waited so long! Other times, I wish I'd held out.

I don't read scary or sad if I can help it. I don't read Jennifer Weiner anymore, even though she's an amazing writer - not after Certain Girls, way too heartbreaking. I've read a lot of great romances - great stories, period. Some not so good ones too, but lots of great ones! And you can't...

Got the book in today's mail!

My little do-funny chihuahua is registered as Tiny Tim. hehehe - I didn't name him though, and call him Timmy. Can't think of any others ... we've named a LOT of horses after (non-fictional!) hockey players though! ;-)
