I've been trying to find someone to help me but so far no luck, I've tried Victors custom Tack and Schneider Saddlery but nothing. So here is the wish list straight from my Girlfriend.
•1" Leather English Dressage Reins.
Yes One inch, this seems to be a problem.
• Buckle Ends
• Black or Brown Leather
• Same color stitching
• No braiding, Grips or Markers
• No Martingale Stops
• Brass Hardware
Can anyone help me find someone who can make this to order. Please help. Her Birthday is October 8th and I've had no success at all. I need names and numbers or Websites or something. I live in the Milwaukee area so if anyone knows of someplace out here that would be Ideal. Thanks so much to anyone that can help.

do you like riding English or Western? I love to to western because the ppl are a lot nicer. When you go somewhere that has English riding, they are so snobby, while when I go to a western barn they are so nice and willing to help out. I also like western because it is all about speed and fun and so laid back, while with English you have to sit up right and hold the reins right and everything. What do you like better?

This is my first winter with my horses and I am just wondering how you all ride them enough in the winter. I dont have a lighted or covered arena nor have access to one. Soon it is going to be dark when I leave for work and dark when I come home. I try to ride both days of the weekend but am going to be missing my weekday rides. We just trail ride but if we go 2 weeks without riding they get snippy with us and it takes awhile to settle them. How do you all keep them conditioned in the winter so they are good to go when you jump back on in spring?

Hi! I previously took lessons for about six months and took a break of about a year. About five months ago I started taking lessons again.

I really want a horse of my own, and my dad once told me that after my first year of college (I'm in my first year now), he'd get me one. But, the horse I ride in my lessons (I really like him) is now for sale.

Is it too soon for me to get a horse of my own?

I am looking to buy an older trail horse. Im not a begginer but I want something quiet with lots of trail miles already under its saddle. I found a 17 yr old, childsafe,TWH mare that sounds like what I am looking for . The owners are asking $400. I'm going to look at her this weekend. Is $400 too much to pay for a 17 yr old. My boyfriend says its too much for a horse of that age. I dont think so but I want somebody to back me up..LOL Do you guys think that its too much to pay and i am curious to know what a horse of that age and training would go for in your area? I live in south west Georgia.

I know that it's a buyer's market right now. How long do you think it will last? I'm saving for a horse but it'll take me another 6 months or so.

I live in E Tennessee.
I have 2 horses. I usually get square bales, but hay is nearly impossible to get this year.
I have a friend that is having to sell their cattle (can't feed them), and they have some round bales that will be left. I can get their bales, get them to my pasture, but I don't have a tractor to move them around. Need suggestions of any other ways I could move them? I need to put them out one at a time because my horses are gluttons and the bales would not last all winter... any suggestions?

I took part in a horse rescue today. 60 horses total were removed from some of the filthiest conditions I have ever seen stalls in.
Six weeks ago Animal Control (a Division of the IL dept of AG) was tipped off to 14 dead horses on a farm in various states of decay. and 60 other horses in various conditions from exellent to ematiated. The owner was given every opportunity to clean it up get vet care and feed and would be monitored by the local Animal Control.
The owner FAILED to make any signifigant improvments to the conditions.
60 horses are ALOT so many private ranches were ask to help out boarding them, where myself and many other horse folks came into this.
Seems to me this is how a humane investigation should happen. Proper Regulatory authority contacted, A rational educated investigation, Reasonable time for the problem to be fixed, and then failing that the animals siezed.
What do you guys think?

Since I got slammed for answer I gave about feeding a horse treats, I would like to comment on this. Giving a horse treats only makes the owner feel better. Not the horse. It does not make him love you more. They can eat out of your hand and kick you with the same emotion. In fact it can backfire, when he is trying to shake more food out of his "living" feed trough (you). Not to mention the colic than can occur, or a host of other things that can happen that can result in a huge vet bill. In my opinion, since your horse gave up his freedom for you, the best "treat" you can give him is your time. Instead of running out and spending half and hour a day and then giving a treat, spend time with your horse riding, exercising, and grooming him. Think about which way you would like to be treated. 1/2 hour and an apple or two hours (or more) enjoying time out of a stall or paddock with the owner / rider. Might give you a different outlook on the "treat" thing.

I read a letter to the editor of Practical Horseman in this month's issue that was apparently criticizing an article from a previous month (which I did not read).
Because I didn't read the article, I can't be certain what it said, but the letter was to the effect that in order for students to become better equestrians, the focus for the future should be on Jumpers - not within the realm of the Hunter world. That essentially - a Hunter's job is to sit up there while their horse runs the (typical) outside/inside course and this should only be a division for inexperienced or young (children) riders.
Do you agree with this? Does my preference for the Hunters limit me? I've done the jumpers with my previous horse (he was crap in the Hunters) - but I really disliked it.
I sometimes think some people resort to the Jumpers because their horses aren't cut out for it, or their equitation isn't up to par.
So - should the Hunters be left behind after a certain experience level is reached?

Ok, so my brain is trying to function again, lol. This is something that I thought would be fun but it would take a lot of people willing to organize it throughout the country. A yearly silent auction set at one your big shows each year with proceeds to go to your area's local rescue. Something like a National Silent Auction Fund Raiser, (Save the rescue's theme) Anyone think this would be interesting and would like to do it? If we got enough people to organize and report earnings there could be a yearly proceed count for the nation, ofcourse, we would need 1 (headquarter) to report figures and send out email newsletters to anyone who joined the cause. Anyone with more ideas to add to this?

HI! There are some really good websites on the internet that have horses for sale. And sometimes there are auctions with really great horses. But people are always telling me that looking on the internet and going to auctions are not the best ways to find a horse. Is this true???? or is it better to find a horse thru connections (like thru friends and peers)?
