so recently me and my best friend got into this huge argument and i cryed my eyes out because i rarely ever make as good of friends like her so it was very hard for me. So since then i have had issues with speech like not being able to speak in long sentences, speech clarity, and recently i have not been able to sing very well, and also i feel like i am loosing my voice even though i rarely talk anyways so i wouldn't be yelling or getting sick. Why has this fight made it so hard to speak? Or am i just loosing my voice?

i'm getting a saddle so i will also need a girth and i don't know how big of a girth i need, so what range would i need for a 16.3hh Hanoverian+Westfallen mix need? She has a little bit of a sway back and a relativity low set stomach. I will choose best answer :)

so i have been doing a series of schooling shows and the Fall/Winter finale is this month on the 23rd and it is marked as an A rated show, so do i need to braid my mare? i haven't been braiding and the judges didn't seem to care. Oh i do short stirrup Hunter w/t/c classes with cross rails, but i am moving up to Long stirrup for the spring/summer shows

i want to know because i like to give my horse like 2-6 treats so i dont want to get her diabetic, so i was wondering which one is healthier and if you have ever heard of/used those treats

when im jumping is my position okay, and btw when i go into two point a bit early i know i should have waited a stride but she shoots herself over the jump so im already there just in case.

Also from what you see how long do you think i have been riding?

so im going to start leasing so im putting together a bag of stuff i would need just in case and stuff like that so this is my list so far

Things to bring to the barn, on lease days.

• Helmet

• Breeches

• Half chaps + boots

• First aid kit (band-aids and girly products just in case)

• Jacket if the weather is cold

• Snack/drink

• Riding Crop

• Extra shirt

• Extra socks

is there anything else i should bring

note- some of the stuff i will already be wearing and the rest of the stuff will be in a bag and all the tack will already be at the barn

her color is like dark purple like the ravens color, but i want to get a custom saddle pad that would look good on her, have my name or initials on it ,and i would like the color. My favorite colors are silver and purple (not dark purple) .

what is the difference between pinching and squeezing with your knee? also, i have heard that squeezing with your knee makes a horse go faster, but i don't feel like that is true because that it how i lift myself up at the posting trot. and my last question is, what would you expect someone who has been riding for a year and a half to be doing? (ie, w/t/c stuff like that)

okay so my dog smells really bad and the only place i can wash her is outside because there is 2 floors to the bathroom and she is a 60-70 lb dog so thats not going to happen. So it is pretty cold today like most this time of year and i need to wash my dog so that she wont get cold but she will smell nice.

should i buy a new show helmet and use my show helmet now for lessons

OR

keep my show helmet and buy a new lesson helmet
