I have Panic Disorder and I vomit pretty bad during every attack. I do take medication which works very well, I'm just curious if anyone else out there goes through the same thing, or am I weirder than I thought?

I currently use a 50" inch girth for my close contact saddle, but I recently started training in Dressage and I'm not sure what size Dressage girth to use with my Dressage saddle. Does anyone know the approximate size I need to look for? Thanks!

My TB mare starts jigging everytime we hit the show ring. She doesn't do it at home, but always at shows. Does anyone have some good tips on correcting the problem?

My girl has a little dry skin and some dandruff in her mane area. She doesn't have any dry patches really, just dry skin all over. I clipped her recently because she had grown in her winter coat which is funny becuase we're in southwest Florida and it doesn't get cold. Does anyone have any good suggestions? I keep staring at all coat products on the internet, but I'm not sure what would work best. Thanks!

I have polo wraps, but I haven't quite mastered their correct applacation yet. I either get them too tight or too loose. I'm sure I'll master the process with time. However, my horse needs leg protection now. Can anyone recommend a good all purpose boot? I ride Hunt Seat Equitation on the flat and over fences and Hunter Under Saddle and over fences. Thanks!

I'm a novice at hunt seat equitation and hunter under saddle. I do have a trainer and train two days a week on top of riding on my own. I'm having a hard time going from a working posting trot to a collected sitting trot. I end up pulling on my horse's mouth and that makes her go faster. My trainer hates it. My punishment is riding without my stirrups, which I actually love, but I'm telling her that! Any tips would be greatly appreciated! I do listen to my trainer, I'm just curious to see what works for other riders.

I drove by a dead snake on the road here in southwest Florida. It was dark red and did not resemble a coral snake at all. Does anyone know what kind of snake it could be? Sorry I don't have any other description besides being red.

Up till now, I've been competing in training shows and I've gotten away with a polo, training helmet, breeches and half chaps. My next show will be formal and I pretty know how much everything goes except for the hairnet. Is it supposed to go over your ears? Sorry for the stupid question, I'm new to rated shows. Thanks!

I ride Hunt Seat Equitation flat and over fences. I'm still pretty new to competing and so far I've been able to wear a polo, breeches, paddock boots and half chaps. I have show coming up in October and I'll have to be wearing the formal show attire. I have everything except for field boots. I really don't have the money for a pair of custom boots yet since I just bought my TB. Can anyone recommend field boots that are reasonably priced, but still acceptable in the show ring? Thanks!

Someone has hacked into my email and used my address to send out massive Nigerian 419 Scam emails. I have gotten like 400 emails that have bounced into my inbox that were supposedly sent by me, but I did not send them. Can anyone tell me what to do in this situation?

I have a Circuit Elite XC saddle and I love it except that the dye on the seat gets on my breeches. I take very good care of my saddle, but I don't know how to keep the dye from coming off.

I recently visited Key West and I live in southwest Florida, but I don't know the history behind the free roaming chickens in the city of Key West. It was actually way cool to see them tooling around. Especially the little babies!

I used to own a AQHA mare (Cameo Rose Redford) and she was an incentive fund foal, but I have no clue what that means. I know it's a stupid question. I have since moved on to a TB.

I'm just looking for some used breeches and stuff that I can use for everyday schooling. I have a Circuit Saddle and the dye still comes off on my breeches a bit. I just hate to stain my good breeches with the dye. Granted, it's just on the butt, it still bothers me. Thanks for your help!

I just advanced up from hunt seat training shows, so my everyday breeches and half chaps will no longer be suitable. The problem is, I don't have $230 dollars to spend on a nice pair of Tailored Sportsman. Maybe in the future, but not right away. I appreciate any advice ya'll have to offer!

I know it's a silly question, but I'm looking for something that works for others. I'm a bit busty, so it's been hard to find something that works. Any serious answers would be greatly appreciated! I just don't want to look all floppy in the show ring!

I've heard that using Neetsfoot oil is bad for saddles, so I'm looking for an alternative. Right now I'm using Leathaphane and it seems to be okay. Any suggestions?

I currently have an awesome Dover saddle, but I'm curious to see what other people use for competition.

I am a novice english rider and I'm looking for either an ap or close contact saddle.
