I have a synthetic one that has a detachachable bit holder. I am ususing a Mullen mouth at present...she did test me today a bit as we jumped so much. she likes speed and once tried to go full bore ahead on me...the racehorse stop, my sissy taught me worked!<BR/>KKAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-83091183320084917542009-01-19T14:48:00.000-08:002009-01-19T14:48:00.000-08:00We ride with modified bosals with incorporated lea...We ride with modified bosals with incorporated lead ropes for that very reason - you can jump off and do a little reminder course work.<BR/><BR/>That class sounds great. I'd love to take something like that instead of learning it in the midst of a crisis (like when my horse got hives).<BR/><BR/>New to your blog and having fun exploring! thanks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13104422629934443842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-11438247777811146312009-01-18T17:47:00.000-08:002009-01-18T17:47:00.000-08:00Andrea!

Will have to come visit you too soon!Your, is it Border Collie, is sweet in the pic~<BR/> KK<BR/><BR/>Millimaus...quite the opposite, Temp is the easiest! Have a Digital Thermometer, dip it in some vaseline, stand to the side of youyr horse and pull the tail over and incert it slowly, slightly downward...not too far...then they ususally pass gas for you! It beeps when done! And the read out is right there...I'd say do it 3 times and average. 99-101 F is healthy and higher may indicate infection. Though the temp may vary 3 degrees depending on season. A good way to go is taking the temp, as a standard procedure, once a week.<BR/> They say if it is over 102 call the vet.<BR/>I hope that it does warm for you to get out soon...thisa may be a false Spring now..but I love it!<BR/><BR/>Jane!<BR/>Yea...You made my day today, truly! I think we were at each others blogs -simultaneously- 2-3 times this am!<BR/>Yea..sometimes NH gets frowned on..and I can as well with knowing why it used and when folks do it in lew of what they should be doing...the rope knotted halters are too much pressure to lunge in..and that ususally is my issue..circle game is different than why one lunges!<BR/>KKallhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-20112730298067508232009-01-18T15:52:00.000-08:002009-01-18T15:52:00.000-08:00I really should learn how to get temp/pulse/respir...I really should learn how to get temp/pulse/respiration...I think temp would be the hardest. <BR/><BR/>I envy the fact that you can trail ride!

I know the pinch test for dehydration, I know what normal gums look like and how long they take to refill, and I can usually find the digital pulse. But normal temperature? Normal respiration? Aaaagh, I hope mine stay healthy!<BR/><BR/>And looks like a beautiful day to ride.

She is typically not a bolter, but when I got her under control I marched her right back to the cows, got off and worked her ass off for about ten minutes before continuing on our way. She gave them the hairy eyeball on the way home, but she kept her head. It is a great method. Because I ride in the bitless with scissor snaps on my reins I can quickly turn it into a halter and lead -- one of it's handy features. And I always ride with a crop in my boot, just in case.<BR/><BR/>And yes, I have had my digital thermometer for years and it has never needed a new a battery. It's the first thing I reach for if I think one of the horses is feeling ill.<BR/><BR/>inghst: the most ingdphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03072031429438530210noreply@blogger.com
