Wishful thinking!<br />The rope is tied , I call it Calvery style, around my mare's neck...I'll post a photo in the next post. <br /><br />That's my fall back- bareback saddle, made by " Cashel".<br /><br />Yea...just breaking somewhat...no leads on anywhere to board Pantz yet.allhorsestuffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05301081722884351021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-4880470775353640772012-05-29T06:11:09.575-07:002012-05-29T06:11:09.575-07:00You are always fascinating.

I read once, on some blog (wish I could remember) about a bridle that the bit could come off and turn into a halter. It was fascinating. Also, do you mind telling me about your saddle? Is that a cover pad over it? Thanks! ...and I hope Pantz finds a place soon - is she on a waiting list for your stable?Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-83338396621823134482012-05-27T14:42:10.825-07:002012-05-27T14:42:10.825-07:00Thanks Arlene,

I am glad that you can get yourself on some trails from your friends place.<br /> Trails are so stress relieving for m,(us), the mare seems to LOVE them too!<br />I did laugh with the Nightmare word...but it truly is...still looking and looking for a place to board Pantz!

I wish we had something like that close to home. *sigh* I have a friend about 3 hours north of me that I visit regularly; she has awesome trails right up the road from her and I just love to go to her house for a visit and "play" :o)<br /><br />I am so sorry to hear about your sister losing her barn; that's got to be a nightmare (pun not intended). Hopefully, she'll find something even better soon. I think we are all hurting financially right now; the economy is awful :oP Best of luck!Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17608579972739041880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-75410703064510984462012-05-25T03:27:00.016-07:002012-05-25T03:27:00.016-07:00What an awesome ride!

And no one else out there?<br /><br />Your girl sounds like she's really developed a sense of trust with you. I like that she ties to trees. I've yet to try that with Harley, but he will need to learn that "skill" as well. I'm just glad he stands still, like Wa, when I need to remount. Sometimes it can be an iffy "mounting block" I'm using! I do the same thing with using a halter sans noseband, or snap-on reins with the bitless bridle since you never know when you may need to have those options! Good thinking!<br /><br />Good for you on learning to trailer your horse! I just wish we had one--have to beg and borrow if we want to go anywhere. There are so many places I'd like to explore further afield.lmelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17517919157975053481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-27742384031877076492012-05-24T17:12:45.292-07:002012-05-24T17:12:45.292-07:00Best of luck to finding Pantz a great new barn.

I'll be making a point of visiting Hardy Creek soon, maybe this weekend!! That's what I miss about riding my mare, all the solo riding we did. I long for that kind of relationship with my horse again...guess I just need to do it. We too have had a definite downturn in our finances (again). Didn't think we'd be able to make it, but we have...and now, once again we'll have to re-adjust yet some more. Not sure how much more we can reduce before making some really big lifestyle changes. We are selling our 4-horse trailer. I hate to do it, but our budget demands. If you know of anyone looking for a very nice alum. Exiss, please let me know. Thanks KK!! Hope to meet you on a trail somewhere this season!!!

Some people think I am a bit strange because I love walking with Grif almost as much as when we are riding.<br /><br />...and although I have never owned a horse trailer (which will change soon, I hope) I have pulled several. My theroy has always been the best way to learn is by doing it! :-DCarol Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16620596195893789528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102014432675371300.post-80049547936791957982012-05-24T07:46:05.328-07:002012-05-24T07:46:05.328-07:00Those are the rides that refresh the soul.
