New thread over here ping!
WOW! Levi really is a big horse!!! What is he 17 hands?
Hey, nice new thread ya got here!
I saw the link you posted to the extreme cowboy race pics over on the horse.com forum. That hay ring obstacle did look pretty hairy. It wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been just one ring wide because they could’ve pretty much steped over it without stepping on it, but with two it looked like they had to step somewhere in the middle amongst the pipes or on the sheet metal. My main concern about it would be slipping and falling in it and the resulting tangle of pipes and legs that might occur when the horse tried to get up more than them tipping it over. I feed my hay out of rings just like that and to put a new roll in you have to lift them up on edge like that and roll them out of the way so you can place the roll where you want it. Then you have to roll it back and tip it back over so that it circles the roll. It takes everything I’ve got to get it started falling, BUT, once it gets past the break point, that sucker’s coming down, HARD. So if anybody did get tangled up in it I could see where they could easily get a broken leg or back if it fell on them. So I guess it’s really not a great idea to be doing that kinda thing. But you can’t tell some people anything and it apparently got a little bit ugly over on that thread after a while. But it seemed to be more of a case of “You pissed in my Cheerios so I’m gonna piss in yours!” than anything else. Those people are so funny!
Please add me to your ping list. TIA!!!!

Greetings everyone and happy halloween! This is an old pic I took several years ago at my cousins. We were all making jackolanterns. I used a star filter and a time exposure. I don't post often but I still lurk. Thanks for pinging me!Hi everyone. I’m new to this thread but I could use some support and advice.
I’ve worked in the horse business for years, I was the breeding manager for two top U.S. stallions, Guarantor (Han.) and Puritano (West.), Puritano was my favorite horse ever, but you don’t want to ride that boy. Sadly, he died last year.
I was always a decent rider, never an excellent rider and I gave away my last horse. (PSG, but I never rode him above 2nd level.) I’ve trained a lot of horses, but barely to training level. I can collect semen, pack it and ship it around the world. That’s pretty much my legacy around here, I can (or could) handle almost every stallion.
Now, here’s my problem. My ex-boss (Jayne Ayers, the former owner of my boys) has given me permission to ride any of her school horses.
I want to but I’m scared to death, I’m 56 and haven’t been on the back of a horse in 5 years but I so want to ride. The barn manager is a good friend and I know she;ll put me on the right horse but I’m still afraid to mount a horse after all these years.
I didn’t mean to brag about my experience, I mentioned it because I used to get on anything and now I’ve got this fear about even getting on any horse.
I have never been afraid of riding any horse, now I’m wary of getting on a even a pony. I hate being such a wuss.
I personally do not have a lot of experience with horses. I do, however, have a 9 year old daughter who loves them. She was taking English riding lessons at a local stable last year, and was doing really well and loved it. Took to the horses immediately.
The stable that we were using has closed and the owner moved back east.
We would like to continue her lessons, and I was wondering if any of you were familiar with the Iowa (Des Moines) area and had any recommendations on local stables where we could continue her lessons.
Thanks to anyone in advance...
Any video game jockeys?
I’ve been playing a lot of Gallop Racer 2001 for the PS2, you race and breed horses. Lots of fun. There’s an english version of G1 Jockey coming out for the PS3 in 2 days. The PS3 is region free so it will play on any PS3.
Link to G1 Jockey 4 2008 for the PS3.
