Nearly four years with this mare. She’ll always be a train wreck in terms of conformation, but she exceeded my expectations. Best horse I’ve ever owned. First photo is the day she arrived to me, completely wild but so dull and weak we were worried she wouldn’t survive. Second is today after 4 months out of work and 7 months with a mystery something that made her terrified of life. Still looks good. submitted by /u/MrNox252 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Ran into a silly situation today. The only thing I can do about this is laugh and hope he never finds out the truth. I feel like I lost a few brain cells just from this interaction. I'm at the barn this morning to drop feed off and deworm my boy. I notice a couple of people I know pull in while I was in the field, so I figured I'd go chat for second. We get to talking and the lady ask how my gelding was. I tell her I have to have an EPM assessment done because my horse is having some weird EPM-y symptoms. She ask me if it effects the hind end. The guy next to her says it's neurologic. I ..read more

hello r/Equestrian community! I am on a lookout for a saddle that would fit me and we stopped on CWD 2Gs Mademoiselle, my instructor says that it is perfect for me but I feel a bit weird sitting in it partially because I am used to the school saddle that didn’t fit me and was much bigger with a larger flap. This is 16.5” with 2C flap, judging from the photo, do you think it fits me, if not, what seems off? Thank you! submitted by /u/Healthy_Access_3059 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

My beloved stallion died abruptly on Tuesday. I’m heartbroken. How do we recover from this? submitted by /u/Jhoag7750 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I have a pretty pronounced sway back that's become worse with age and post- childbirth. Two 9+ pound babies killed my abs and I'm still working towards fixing my posture. My trainer has noticed that, because of my posture, I sit tipped too forward in the saddle. What are some exercises I can work on to reinforce a better saddle position? submitted by /u/_stephopolis_ [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

my vet suggested platinum performance for my 15 year old andalusian gelding. he had a hard winter (his first winter in wyoming) and lost a lot of weight. since being on platinum performance powder as well as their healthy weight gain oil, he has gotten better and is putting the weight on great. my question is if anyone knows any similar products to the platinum performance powder. the supplement is expensive! and while i don’t want to change products for the sake of being cheaper and see regression (which i doubt will happen as we our finally out of winter) if there is an identical produ ..read more

Right this is gonna be a super random question but it's been rubbing my brain for weeks now. So I play red dead redemption and I noticed how they don't hold the reins how i usually would (bear in mind red dead is based in 1898-1907? I'm pretty sure) did cowboys hold their reins differently back then? submitted by /u/No-Difficulty-4201 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more
