yup, that's what I meant, LOL. Huntseat? Dressage? I know when my instructor (this is MANY years ago now ..eeep) had us start with no stirrups, it was to deepen and enhance the seat. It helped us in balance, and in REALLY learning to use the "circle". What I was taught is that it all begins...

hiya! I have two Arabian mares, 22 and 12 years old. I miss my girlies, they're still boarded in California where we moved from.

Riding without stirrups is all about the SEAT! THAT is what your instructor is striving to develop more with you. What discipline do you ride?

hey Hissy, your link isn't working. here are my two... the 22 year old the 12 year old (on June 15th)

I have two Polish Arabian mares. Both are rescues.

PLEASE try and talk your mother in law into having her put down instead of auctioning her off. That would be far kinder than how she will end up. I am so sorry to hear about this.

Glad to hear she's going to be okay. You are right, this is going to take months to recover from, at the least. All the vetting that was done was at your place? She was never taken in anywhere for more extensive and thorough exams? As to the spooking, considering she is favoring her one...

I am so sorry for your loss

First of all, thanks for saving the girl! Yes, older dogs CAN be housebroken. It takes times though. What may help at first is to walk her until she goes, stay outside with her and make sure she goes before you come back in. The walking helps.

no no, the one who was stupid was the so called trainer who said that your dog didn't need training because he is SMALL. How old is the Mastiff you plan on getting?

Yup, what Arlyn said about that trainer, sheesh! ANY dog, regardless of size, needs at least some basic obedience training. Get your dog in some obedience classes, see how he does, and then think about the cat again.

Absolutely report them. The least that can happen is that they are watched and then caught at doing this very illegal thing. It's people like THIS that make it so pit bulls and other dogs are banned in places.

I've found over the years waterless shampoos are best for my kitties. Most of my cats have never liked baths. Although, I have one now who is curious about the tub when I'm in it, and I can see where he may just jump in with me like another cat I had years ago.

Sounds like the partial claws might be some kind of dewclaw. Although gunk in between the toes will happen sometimes ya know....sometimes I would have to clean in between toes on some of my cats if they stepped in something sticky (like tree sap) and then went in the litter box. LOL What has...

I dunno, my son in law is awful dang stubborn. But as I said, she's already looking at the soft claws thing, and in fact I may just buy them to get her started. Plus, she was asking her dad today about how we trained our cats to not claw furniture, and he also stressed with her to make sure...

Scratch was a tabbie with black pads. The only white he had was around his mouth.

I've had many cats of both sexes throughout my life, and GENERALLY speaking (each cat is different), I've found my neutered males are more affectionate, playful, and in general all around nicer to be around. My queens were ALWAYS opinionated, hehe.

One of the things I've done over the years is actually use one of my soft rubber curries (horse curry) on my cats. They all seem to like it, and it gets all the loose hair off too.

One of Scratch's littermates was a polydactyl, and so was his mother. They never had trouble extending the paws, claws and all that, and cleaning in between the toes, even the extra ones. How many extra toes does your baby have?

As I said, simple economics will ultimately end up being my friend in this as well. Y'see, they're finding out just how EXPENSIVE the elective surgery is! They have a new house, and all that entails, so....they will end up having to come to ME for help, and I will ONLY help for spaying. To...
