    Ok,,, I've never admitted it before,,, but I have another obsession

    HATS. BIG, GOOFY HATS. I love them! When I first started driving biggies, my trainer showed CDEs. She came from a very traditional driving background, and hats were a MUST for the show ring. I blame her for this obsession. It started with one, simple, driving hat. Then, when people...

    Mane grooming question

    Hi everyone! So, I have a mane question for you all. Over the summer, my stallion went and rubbed a big portion of his mane out . Since then, I've been applying MTG, and doing my best to help grow it out. However, it's still not perfect. It now lies flat (yay!), but is not nearly as long as...

    Web/Graphic Design, some questions

    Hi Everyone, Well, I've been out of a job for a few months, and with show season coming up, I'm afraid of how I'll be able to scrape together the funds to show three horses! I may be getting my job back, but I'm afraid of how much it will cut into shows or conditioning time. So this morning, I...

    A few questions about Jumps and what you like

    Hi All! My grandfather made me some jumps for Christmas last year, and since then has been talking about wanting to sell some jumps that he makes. I think it's a neat idea, just to sell a few online. That in mind, I had a few questions for you: 1. What sort of materials do you prefer for your...

    Bumper bar vs chain?

    Hi Everyone- I've always used chains on my show halters, and only ever seen ones with bumper bars. My question is- with what type of horse is that appropriate (attitude-wise that is)? How do you know that'll be the best? Do they come in different sizes for different sized heads? I'm asking...
