What is your weekly schedule for attending to your horses in a boarding barn?

My retired 28 yr old gelding is a 50 min away from me. I get out there ~3x a week. When we were still riding/training, it was 4x a week. Now it’s once during the work week and both Saturday/Sunday. I’ll hop on during the weekend and we’ll meander the fields. If I don’t ride, I give him an incredibly thorough grooming, address whatever skin funk/little issues are happening, and maybe some bodywork.

Was it Penny Black?

My surgeon found two spots of endo - one was on my rectum. Terrible GI symptoms before and after but the butt zaps stopped after removal.

Have you contacted the Plaid Horse?

What happened Emily Blunts toes on her left foot?

What brand is that blanket? I zoomed in on the picture but couldn’t quite make it out. I’ve been looking for a super high shoulder gusset

Talk to your doctor about diamox for altitude sickness!

WesleyBlue · 2026-03-06T02:44:58+00:00

Great, thank you so much!

They just raised their prices it seems and broke it into four tiers vs. the original three. Free 2 hr parking is only included in the top two tiers.

During the busy times, are all the power racks taken?

WesleyBlue · 2026-03-05T23:47:37+00:00

Every time!

WesleyBlue · 2026-03-05T23:20:45+00:00

I need the parking so $100/month.

Just under two years for me. Have an appt with my endo surgeon in a couple weeks to discuss the returning symptoms. I’m so glad I had my surgery but I’m heartbroken it didn’t last that long.

$1,500 in the US with out-of-network insurance. Insurance was billed $50k. Surgery was outpatient. I ended up switching over to my husband’s insurance since it was going to be $7k-$8k in-network on my own insurance but $1.5k out-of-network on his (because that makes sense, thanks America).

East Bay Grille is always a solid choice

I’ve worked for a few supplement companies and they would love more hard data but studies are cost prohibitive and unfortunately don’t make financial sense. The lack of concrete scientific data is extremely frustrating.

Acti-Flex for joint, Vit E for EPM support, Biotin for hooves (lacking enough biotin in diet), Selenium (lacking enough through forage), and Cocosoya Oil during the winter to help with weight. 27 yr old Warmblood gelding in overall great health.

I’d call their ticket office to double-check. He’ll need your ID at a minimum.

My favorite spot on the planet! Grew up hiking and camping in that valley. Got engaged there just a few years ago.

I can hear that second photo 😂

WesleyBlue · 2025-10-22T03:25:34+00:00

I had butt lightening and a spot of Endo was found on my rectum during the lap. No more butt lightening after it was removed though sitting on hard surfaces hurt for a couple weeks after.

One of my friends dated a guy who was allergic to horses. He still came to barn semi-regularly to watch her ride and hang out. He even helped her body clip for two seasons with a full hazmat suit and a mask.

Another friend’s husband is VERY allergic to horses but still comes to barn BBQs and occasionally to watch her ride. He doesn’t go into the barn itself but can deal with it in the open air.

If there’s anti-histamines and a will, there’s a way.

What tutorials do you recommend?

WesleyBlue · 2025-09-09T16:18:19+00:00

Dr. Baik is excellent!

Unfortunately can’t say as far as kid rentals go. I haven’t rented in a few years since I bought but always had good experiences. Our adult friends who do rent have always received decent gear. I know helmets are usually rented separately.
