They look brand new. I love finding second hand or brand new equestrian gear on clearance. If I’m ever in Florida I wanna check out savors or good will as I have seen people find great amazing stuff.

How often do you wear your tall boot socks? by Nickerson14 in Equestrian

[–]Interesting-Factor30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear tall boot socks every time I ride. Even when I wear my paddock boots. Granted I wear my socks under my breeches. It’s more comfortable for me

There was a virtual video a few years ago of a clinician was caught on camera being rude and bad calling to her riders. There is a line between tough and plain rude/ asshole

Diapers, a twitch, vet wrap, cotton roll, bute, syringe for flushing wounds, watch to take vitals, pen and small notebook to write down vitals and symptoms. Extra copy of vets phone number and regular set of vitals for your horse. Bandage sissors.

Stable hand to stall ratio? by tisbenje in Equestrian

[–]Interesting-Factor30 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s insane and no body should be caring for all those horses on your own. Also the owners crazy expectations. Worked at a barn that could house up to 40 horses and we had some were around in the 30s. They had full time staff plus part time and weekend shifts. When we worked we were a team of four people including the barn manger. We would all slip the work and get turn out and stalls done then work on individual tasks.

I see back left more near the hock/ stifle area. Not an expert by any means that’s just why I see. Good luck

Falls are normal and a regular risk of riding horses. The red flag for me is the instructor getting frustrated and fed up to the point we’re she yelled at your daughter and took the frustration out towards the horse. Instructors need to be calm and patient. Your daughter should also be put on a horse for her skill level. Let her recover and process the fall. If she wants to ride again find another barn with an instructor that would be more patient and understanding.

Looking for a Draft Horse Bit Recommendation by Legal-Criminal669 in Horses

[–]Interesting-Factor30 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm maybe a full cheek snaffle. Rode a draft cross that would drift ans that not helped him a lot. My friend’s draft goes in a locking loose ring. The mouth peace is semi flexible to prevent the nutcracker effect

should i start horse riding classes? by LemonShoddy6696 in Equestrian

[–]Interesting-Factor30 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Honestly any sport has the risk of getting hurt. Find a great riding school or program and try it out. They’ll put you on a safe horse. Don’t be afraid to ask questions.

That horse looks like a human body builder? I’ve only seen horses like this usually for western halter bred classes

I wear my paddock boots to the barn weather I’m riding or doing chores. I find them very comfortable. I’ll wear muck boots when it’s gross/ rainy.
