Gaited horses? I'm likely moving to Italy within the next year and have 'gone gaited' here in the US. Are gaited horses to be found in Italy? I tried to Google breeders there, but didn't have any luck. Can anyone help me?

As anyone had any success in this regard without the use of collars or cribbing straps?

Sono un cittadino degli Stati Uniti e che esamina riassegnante in Italia nell'anno prossimo. Sono nel corso della vendita i miei cavalli e speranza potere permettere un cavallo di piacere in Italia. Può chiunque darmi un'idea del bordo ed i costi di manutenzione generali di conservazione del cavallo in Italia? Poichè ora osserva, molto probabilmente sarò nella parte del sud sotto Roma in una zona denominata Cilento. Affatto utile raccomandi è apprezzato. Grazie.

Can someone help me to determine a horse keeping cost comparison between the US and Italy?

I am a US citizen, and am looking at relocating to Italy within the next year. I am in the process of selling my horses and hope to be able to afford a pleasure horse in Italy. Can anyone give me an idea of the board and general upkeep costs of keeping a horse in Italy? As it looks now, I most likely will be in the Southern portion below Rome in an area called Cilento. Any helpful advise is appreciated. Thank you.

Can anyone recommend a reputable real estate agent in Casal Velino Italy that speaks English? Thank you.

I am adult ADD and have been taking generic Ritalin for several months as the brand name is not affordable in my insurance plan. I have noticed progressively worse stomach upset/indigestion/heartburn etc on this product and is getting progressively more distressing. What course of action can I take. Simply taking otc heartburn remedies is no longer effective and obviously I cant stop taking my meds. My doctor has said there is no connection between the two, but I'm the one suffering the results. I would appreciate suggestions from the medical community. Thank you.

safely store saddlery for a period of time.

It could be a year or more.

I may need to go abroad for an extended period of time to live with an ailing family member.

I can make arrangements for my horses, but what is the best way to deal with my tack? I don't want to sell it.

I may need to put it in a rental storage facility or similar.

Where ever it will be, it will get no attention until I return to the states and I'm concerned with mold, dry rot, etc.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

I am on a hiatus from showing for a while and I have several good wool saddle blankets that I thought I stored properly. Today, I went to check on them and found some with moth holes. Suggestions? I prefer not to use mothballs. They just make me gag....but open to other suggestions.

Thanks!

After reviewing some recent Q & A's on "stud prospects", I have determined that a fair amount of ladies here think that young

(who is an accomplished horseman in his own right and vintage tack enthusiast) are for lack of a better term "Hot Cowboys"

... who else is hot?

This is to all Farmers, Ranchers, Trainers, Riders and those who are committed to the country lifestyle.

Looking back over your life, do you have any regrets?

Are you happy with where you are now?

What is it that you actually do?

Do you wish you did something different?

Have you completed your education to a level your satisfied with?

Sorry if this seems like a therapy session, but as a single divorced woman in my 30's, I can't help but ask myself ... what if I had made different choices ??

I don't know how they got down there, but should I just leave them be?

I don't think they can get out on their own, its pretty deep. Suggestions?

I have a problem that I could use a little help with.

I am a divorced woman and I live alone on a small farm and have recently redid my barn so I could take in a few boarders to supplement my income. At this time I have 4 boarders. 3 women and 1 man.

He always pays his bill on time, but that is his only saving grace. He is big rude obnoxious brute. He man - handles his horse. This man I can not tolerate. I have seen him actually punch his horse in the face when the horse wouldn't stand for mounting. He is vulgar to the other ladies and obviously has no respect for women or animals. He has hit on all of us at one time or another over the past 8 months he has been here. He is making everyone uncomfortable. I even found him standing in my kitchen once (uninvited!) and I have seen him kick one of my dogs. He creeps me out. I confess to being a little afraid of him and would like to get him gone. I think if I tell him to finding another boarding situation, things will get ugly. Suggestions?

Alternately, what former trends do you rarely see now that you would like to see more of?

If you have received invitations to a engagement party, bridal shower and wedding for the same couple, is it necessary to give 3 gifts?

How does this work? Thanks

But you were never raised in the faith, are you still Jewish?

If not, what are you? I understand that people from other backgrounds can convert to Judaism, but what if you where born from Jewish parents, but never practiced the faith or grew up in a "Jewish Household"?

This is my situation, so I would truly like to know the answer to this.

Thank you.

Whats the point of rhythm beads and how/why would you use them?

I have a couple old saddles from the 1920's thru the 1960's that I don't use on a regular basis. They are stored on racks in the house and covered, but I have noticed small tuffs of sheepskin coming loose and falling out. Is there anything I can do to keep the sheepskin intact? Why is it falling out. (we can rule out mice).

thanks !
