Put JJ on my prayer list.
Yes, discipline within the 10seconds if possible - you did fine, but no need to wait after that at all. I don't think you could actually make her fall but don't worry about that either. If she's paying attention at all, she'll be balanced. If she isn't, she'll learn.
Did you really just spam? ;~D
Prayers Certainly CindyDawg....
UUUMMMMMMMMMM....yes:\.

Anyone ride today? I can't believe how lazy I was. Still waiting on Sir Edward to come home. I should have just gone out by myself. I may get a rope and take Cody with me and go spend some time with them in the morning.
Hey, I've been forgetting.
You never commented...Did you notice the post where I said that Mack told me, he thinks I should forget about selling Harley and Rusty and keep them both?
So, they'll be here....
Becky
The forecast here for tomorrow is 67:), good chance of rain, but hopefully we'll get some clear time in. I'll ride trails anyway.
Becky
Have fun and post some pictures. FWI I agree with Mack, keep them both. :)

Will say prayer for JJ. Did you see this thread? Thought of you mentioning spy ware, lotsa goodlinks.

Thanks. I'll look at the thread. How's your weather?
I was thinking it was a slow night for pop ups but it's usually about 10 of the same ones and I've found out that if I just put them to sleep at the bottom (don't know what that's called) instead of deleting then the little suckers don't bother me:')
Leasing is an excellent option for riders who are not yet ready to buy. Leasing involves paying for monthly board, vet, shoeing and other expenses of keeping a horse without actually owning him. The lease benefits include being able to ride whenever you want, use our facilities and ride on the ranch. Lessors pay for lessons as usual, but can do practice rides and join scheduled trail rides for no additional cost.
Is this something a lot of stables are doing. Why would you do this instead of buying?
Generally people get into an agreement like that because they can't afford the orginal purchase price of the horse but can afford the upkeep, ie a purchase price of $10,000.
Hey, thanks for the ping on that convenience store thread. I hadn't heard anything about it.
Good morning
Becky
I did see that.... and was pretty pleased about it!
Good morning!
The advantage is that I don't have the day to day responsibility of looking after her, but still have her available for hunts, shows, etc. One of the major advantages of leasing doesn't apply to me - if you're a beginner or a kid who hasn't finished growing yet, it makes a lot of sense because it's easy to change horses as your skill improves or as you grow taller. But Gracie is my horse and I've already agreed to look after her if she ever gets unsound or too old to ride. There's a tiny barn right around the corner from our house that isn't that good for riding (no open pastures, just paddocks and one small ring) but would be perfect for a retired horse to snooze and be spoiled by everyone.
Rent a Horse, hmm? I can see it now. No credit check. Free delivery. Low weeekly payments:') The boarders at my stables get all of these other perks for free:')
I'm glad Gracie has a retirement plan:') It looks like minimal overhead for the stable owners too doesn't it?
