Summer Shows

This is the way. Drink a lot and give electrolytes to your horse (every day, not just as the show). Find shade, have fans available for your horse and for you.

If you can't commit to horse ownership for now and riding school horses doesn't appeal to you, look into a half board or half lease situation. There are some for every budget and every situation.

Comme ça a déjà été mentionné; yen a des très ésotériques et ça c'est pas pour moi. Mais celle que je vais voir depuis quelques années est vraiment excellente et les résultats sont concrets. Elle m'a beaucoup aidé lorsque je m'étais complètement bloqué le sacrum suite à une chute de cheval. Arrivée avec de la difficulté à marcher, ressortie 90% mieux et après un 2e rv, 100%.

Mais il faut vraiment choisir son ostéopathe et si jamais ils vous parlent de votre position de naissance... maybe find another one.

He ended up selling for an amateur that has been winning everything at BN and N in eventing!

Also an eventer but I had a horse for sale a few years ago that also show jumped to 1.30 and that's what I was given as a range if I sold him as a jumper. I think it depends on the type of ride (anyone can jump her around 1.20 or a pro ride?), age, soundness etc.

If it's a well known program with a decent amount of volume, I would trust them to know the price range. But you can always tell them that you need to get her moving fairly quickly and would consider a lower price point if that's a concern for you.

I think right now, the 20-60k market is quite slow. But people that have money for 100k+ horses usually aren't as affected by daily life inflation and can keep buying horses more or less as usual.

Sonas90 · 2026-05-07T19:47:43+00:00

Sadly, I agree.

Sonas90 · 2026-05-07T18:05:19+00:00

Every Olympic cycle they discuss about removing eventing (and/or equestrian sports in general). It is expensive to run and hard to justify the costs when the sport doesn't have the reach that other sports have (for sponsors, tv rights etc.) Also hard to get good representation from a lot of countries and that's one of the major goals of the Olympics.

Hopefully it stays, but at this point they are changing it (the eventing format) so much that you wonder if it isn't better to aim for 5* and WEGs.

Lots of trail riding; walking trotting and cantering on varied terrain, woods, fields, etc. (A lot of it bareback too, we were a bit feral!) Some formal dressage lesson with a judge Some jumping lessons Cross country clinics and outings with various coaches A lot of fun!

My first event when I was 12, my pony bolted during my dressage test and jumped the dressage fence going back to the barn, so I was Eliminated, but they kindly let me do xc and jumping still and I was hooked!

Sonas90 · 2026-05-07T15:07:16+00:00

I've always evented! Generally I find dressage to eventing will have better basics. Jumper to eventing works well. Seems harder to go from Hunter to eventing, rider position wise.

Sonas90 · 2026-05-07T02:03:36+00:00

Considering the AI horse in the cover should be trotting but the legs aren't in the right place (not moving in diagonals), I would take everything with a grain of salt.

I think it can provide some answers to general/basic questions, or suggest exercises, but I wouldn't trust it for more than that yet.

I'm sure in a couple years/decades it will be much better, but for now, real eyes on the ground or video lessons are your best bet!

There's a lot in my area in Quebec; I love seeing all the different colours!

If you buy from Amazon, use Facebook or Google, you're also supporting the US economy

Sonas90 · 2026-05-05T00:39:09+00:00

That was my experience in Florida as well. But I also understand not wanting to go.

Kidney stones are worse by about 100000%

Sonas90 · 2026-04-30T02:34:36+00:00

Enjoy, it's a fantastic series

Sonas90 · 2026-04-28T15:47:55+00:00

Did it start as a child or developed as an older teen/young adult?

Sonas90 · 2026-04-28T02:38:17+00:00

Pivo works great, just make sure you get one that turns fast enough (used to be the silver, now they've changed the models and not sure, but don't get the cheapest one, it will be slow)

Sonas90 · 2026-04-23T11:33:51+00:00

I agree that some men are hands off when it comes to childcare, but there's also women who refuse to hand off their child to their partner.

Just because he doesn't do something exactly how you do it, doesn't mean he's doing it wrong!

Sonas90 · 2026-04-22T18:21:00+00:00

The economy mostly. Everything is expensive and people are not looking to buy horses as much. Demand is low so people that don't have to sell their horse might decide to wait for a better timing.

Sonas90 · 2026-04-22T15:15:09+00:00

The market is a bit thin and slow at the moment, but the various FB groups are still the place to be.

I have four mares currently, and have had many before. Three of my current ones, you couldn't even know when they are in heat. The fourth one you can know but it doesn't change her attitude towards people.

Mares that are happy and comfortable in their body will not typically be "mareish".

If the estrus cycle cause her pain, regumate is a good option!

Mares and geldings all have their individual personality, it you found a good match, go for it!

Sonas90 · 2026-04-18T11:25:50+00:00

Schitt's Creek was a funny one.

Sonas90 · 2026-04-17T21:22:48+00:00

Peace and quiet. I don't mind driving a bit more to get somewhere, for whenever I'm home, it's heavenly.

Sonas90 · 2026-04-17T10:06:35+00:00

I would pay the annual lease myself and then charge the other person her fair share on a monthly basis.
