conformation critique
|
| |
Critique this filly, bred by me, by my old stallion/now gelding and Jewel the infamous trailer non-loading horse. She's been at The Wright Ranch where she was declared one of the most talented youngsters they ever rode. I see a ton of talent when she's ridden and when she free-works, but I don't see much of that potential in her... more »

Aluminum Cleaner
|
| |
I have an aluminum trailer (solid, not panels or polished) that I believe is referred to as a "raw finish". It's pretty tired looking, from aging and, I guess, oxidation. I'm looking around for a cleaner I'm reading pros and con of muriatic acid. Any suggestions?

Saturday Lesson Fun
|
| |
Today I started what I should have started a long time ago and worked Hoover in hand on leading and stopping and backing and yielding the shoulders and yielding the quarters. Not too bad so long as I'm on the side he approves of and pretty ugly on the other one. I didn't even TRY half-pass straight away... more »

Altus Open Horse Show Tomorrow.
|
| |
The Coggins is fresh. The horse is brushed and clean (for now) I picked up a bottle of Weaver's leather cream. This may not work any better than a dozen other preparations, but it certainly appeals to my conception of what a preservative/polish should look like: thick double cream. The Western tack is clean and bright.... more »

Rain Update
|
| |
So, I talked to Tony today about how Rain was doing. They are having a productive week, spending a lot of time in the ring with deliberate monsters to work on. He says she crosses a tarp under her feet better than she goes past one hanging over a jump and blowing in the breeze, but he's circling her around jumps hung with crinkling blowing tarps and... more »
