Without seeing them in person, I prefer the 2nd one. Without the white stiches. Looks more ridable, looks better built, looks more comfortable. Repeat, with...
Not buying- just sharing what I saw at an auction last Fall-in the spirit of "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". I hope these can be a learning situation for...
Hello everyone. I have a question about our barn/stable. We finished it last fall and did not have time to install some of the finer things. Then Scott got...
Heather, We are in a similar situation. Our driveway runs from a BUSY state road directly to the house and barn that are about 50' apart. There is a large...
The barn where I learned to ride had the type like the nylon stall guards. They seemed to work just fine. I have used chains but once the horses ran right...
Personally I would not leave a horse unatended with just stall gaurds and the end doors open. I used to work in a 80+ racing syndicate home barn. Many of the...
In out barn we have the stall chains (2)in the doors but we don't leave them unattended with the doors open - in our case the stalls are well vented so it's...
We use a fairly heavy chain run through an appropriate length of 2" diameter PVC pipe (in our case 10'), and then snap the ends to screw eyes This way you...
Hello, Heather! Give a gentle hug to your Scott for me. What?! Me not worry?! I'm of German heritage, for heaven's sake! It's my genetic imperative to worry! I...
Heather - try running a chain through a length of rubber hose. It's a bit more manageable than stall guards, and you can put up 2 if you need to - one for the...
I really do like this idea better than mine. Also, the reasoning is very sound. Katey ... while we've sewn up lots of cannon bones that have gone between...
Hello Ladies. Thank you so very much for the wonderful advice. I like Analissa's Alley Guard. Our alley is only 10 feet wide. This guard looks like it would...
OK - I really really really want to support Gary since he is willing to offer the sidesaddle division...but I'm still freaked by the EHV-1 outbreak. Is anyone...
... Ok, I'm not having a good so every one gets the benifit of my opion, and you asked anyway. If you go and your horses does not get sick, great. If you don't...
Heather- Please keep your barn doors shut unil you can put up boards - and use substantial ones! A chain is dangerous in so many ways. This is not something...
Good to hear that Scott is doing better. It's always helpful when they do what they're told Ha! I am a terrible patient when it comes to PT. I've had foot...
Ask questions. It is my understanding that this is just a couple of isolated cases and that some of the quarantines are precautionary for animals that had ...
Dear Christy, I liked the visibility of that as well. Lots of good ideas on the list. We were so blessed that Scott is in great shape and only broke his neck....
Have you found a source yet? In going through my paperwork I came across a source which supplies cotton military fabrics for local militia groups. They are...
Anyone have experience with Tattersall's in Canada? Look like they might be nice ones (though I prefer the shape of Lillian's flaps, these are boxy for my...
They do look nice, though the english and victorian ones are decidedly Steele-ish. I have to wonder about the leaping head placement on some of them....
Hello: I'm a new member, living on Long Island NY. I've been surfing the web and found a source for Iberian tack, including an English-style sidesaddle made...
I'm not sure if Vixen is on this list, but I have a dim memory that she's seen these saddles in person, or at least knew more about them than your average ss...
I was looking at their English ones and they look very "thin" to me, (as in there isn't much between you and the horse) & their blurb says they are "close...
Well I have decided to save up my pennies and have a sidesaddle made. I found a saddler in New Zealand who makes new sidesaddles (on trees he imports from...
I take it you have ridden in different side saddles....as you need to know which type of pommels you find more comfortable narrow or broad. Can you have a dual...
Hi, Lucky you! Check and see if your saddle is going to have the Hunt Bar put in it. (Hunt bar- reinforcement that holds the gullet and the two sides of the...
