TSh Prize list |

Does anyone know anything about the Thomas Horse Show Series? I never recieved a prize list this year, and I saw on the website calendar that the first show is Sept. 26th. They haven't updated the show dates from last year or anything.
09/09/2010 02:10:55 PM [ J&P ]"
Why don't you simply call them or send an email. Their contact info is on their website, the USEF website ( which lists the TSH fall shows on the calendar), and the LIHSAA website.
More and more shows are distributing prize lists electronically although if you call and ask for a prize list they will mail one.

Horses Want to Stay Together |
| |
|
I currently have two horses that I would like to see stay as a pair. Very friendly, older horses that are so in love with each other. They were separated from each other for a few months and then reunited at the rescue. The minute the trailer pulled in they yelled to each other and the sadness went away. A barn full of horses and he was the only one screaming to her when she arrived. They hugged and groomed each other immediately. They have both gained weight and have a spark in their eye again. I do not want to separate them if I can help it.
They would be perfect family horses and they both love kids. Nice wife and hubby horses too. They would also enjoy just living the high life if you have lots of room for them to roam.
If you're interested in adopting two horses so they can stay together and you have a lot of love to give...give me a call for more info. They deserve a second chance and to stay together.
Thank you,
Brittany

If you read Southern States Feed PLEASE HELP! |
| |

I'm a native Long Islander, but I'm away at school at the
University of Kentucky. I'm currently on the equestrian team,
which is a club sport. Unlike NCAA sports, the club receives
limited funds from the college. In our effort to help with some of
the cost we're involved in the SHOW program through Southern
States and Triple Crown feeds. We receive 25 cents or 10 cents
(depending on the feed) for every proof of purchase that is sent
in.
I was wondering if anyone would be able to take the time it takes
to clip a coupon, and the cost of a stamp to send any proof of
purchases to me for the team. It would be GREATLY appreciated by
all members. If you e-mail me, I can give you my mailing address.
*The feed labels arent accepted, only the proof of purchases.
If anyone is coming down here for the WEG I will willingly come
pick them up from you as well!
Thanks so much!

I am still looking for good and loving home for my horse, Cider. He goes out on trail, jumps and did
some cow penning last year. He has plenty of energy! He is a handsome Appendix gelding. Chestnut
with 4 white socks. He is an easy keeper and a gentleman around the barn! I do not have the the
time, nor the money, to give him what he deserves. ( If you remember my previous posts I have 2
small children and my husband was, recently, laid off) Please, email me with ANY questions! I know
it's not cheap to keep a horse anymore but, there is a possibility to keep him at our current barn as
long as you can afford his groceries!

Bit keeper/lip strap |
| |
|
If you are using an English bit, I think you are looking for a lip strap for a curb or pelham bit, yes? It is supposed to run through the link of the curb chain and hold it from flapping around. It attaches to the small loops on the shanks of the pelham, between the snaffle rein and curb rein.

Chiggers |

You can also apply waxing products and remove them that way. If you cut off their air they die. Heat the wax and leave it on for about a half hour. Many women around here do that since meeting up with these little demons is a daily occurance almost in real farm life. Years ago we would put a drop of nail polish where we suspected a chigger might be burrowing into our skin.
As far as wading in ANY stream unless you are very close to the origin of the stream it's getting so all over the country to not be advisable. It's getting to be as common as the latest attention paid to bedbugs the parasites picked up in rivers lakes and streams by swimmers, jet skiers and children playing in shallow water.

WOW! Plimpton's field was an absolute favorite place for me to ride too as a kid and into adulthood!
When I first rode there I would take the trail from Chichester Rd. There were jumps made of tree
branches like a cross country course and you could ride to Sweet Hollow road and join up with a trail
along this road to get you to the park (before it was a park). Now I am dating myself.... about 30-40
yrs ago! Those were the days!

In the days before cell phones I had a client who kept horses on Fire Island One of the bigger huricanes was for sure going to hit LI I tried to call him to meet him at the lighthouse to offer to bring the horses to my home. About 3 days after the storm I finally got him and he said that he just left them loose and they wandered over to the bay side of the island and after the storm was over they came back to thier coral on the beach PS neosporine cream works well on crigger bites I get them all the time from the horses legs JeRita

chiggers vs nymphs |
| |
|
If you do a google search on chiggers, you'll read that they are too small to see with the bare eye. And no where will it say they look like little red dots - 'cause they're not red. Most likely what you picked up are tick nymphs. Trust me - I know. Last year I had a similar experience and put the suspects under a microscope. They were lone star tick nymphs. Itched like CRAZY!! Took several weeks to finally clear up. There's nothing to do but wait it out and try different topical anti-itch remedies in the hopes of finding some relief. Useless little creatures!!

Here are some RIDING RULES for Old Horse Women:
* We DO NOT need to show up with our hair combed, make up on and wearing a clean shirt.
* Moaning, groaning and complaining about aching muscles is perfectly acceptable, as is taking Motrin (or something stronger) prior to a ride.
* Helping someone on or off the horse does not mean the rider is an invalid. It only means the horse got taller overnight.
* No one will comment about how big someone's butt looks in a saddle.
* When a horse is acting up we will accept that the horse is just having a bad hair day and it is not the rider's fault.
* Mentioning it is too hot, too dry, too humid, too wet, too buggy, etc., is considered self expression, not whining.
* We will acknowledge that horses are very strange animals and sometimes for no reason at all we fall off of them. If this happens to any rider the other riders will ascertain that the person is okay and then not mention the incident to another living soul, especially husbands and significant others.
* We will acknowledge, without apology, that riding more than 6 hours increases our grumpy level far more than any ego benefits we may get from riding longer.
* Looking at my bouncing fat is NOT an acceptable way of determining if I have a good seat. My fat always bounces, thank you. It is cushion I carry in case I fall off.
(author of the above rules is unknown)
No OTD (Older Than Dirt) rider shall be asked "What's your discipline?", "Are you showing next weekend?" or "What level are you"? Answers like "I am totally undisciplined", "I showed up today; isn't that enough?", and "Actually I tend to list a bit to the left" will be acceptable should anyone younger than dirt ask those ridiculous questions.

Which house on Chichester involved in animal neglect case. |

Regarding the recent West Hills case of animal neglect in Newsday. According to the address given in
the Newsday article and searching the satellite photo on Google earth, the house is the old Plympton
estate house that is set back far from the road. I remember riding my horse through the huge field in
front of that house when I was a kid.

CHIGGERS! |

Oh ya...CHIGGERS!!!
My horse and I got chiggers and it was HORRIBLE. For the big guy, coating his oozie legs in benadryl helped him, for me, well....not a whole heck of a lot.
Google it to find remedies.
They get WORSE before they get better.
I remember it got it right as school started (teacher) and the itchy and oozing was so bad. I sprayed my legs with the Benadryl Spray, the wrapped them with baby wipes, then wrapped everything in ace bandages. If I didnt, my pants scraping my legs would cause them to itch, and then ooze. It was horrible. I had scaring for weeks....

Molly is a horse for adoption through Helping Horses Equine Rescue. We have been taking Molly out on trail and she has been doing great. She gets excited and likes to prance. She is spookless and does not mind anything that she comes across (cars, bikes, dogs, etc). She likes to go for little runs and is so much fun to ride! We all feel very safe on her. We hope someone who wants a small, fun trail horse will adopt Molly! For more information on her please email Spirit at FLequestrian@aol.com or visit www.HelpingHorsesNY.org

sounds like you all were affected with Chiggers! These are really prevalent on the east end esp.
Montauk area. You didn't say what park you were in. This is the time of year that they are the most
active. The adults bite you and then fall off, but the saliva has an enzyme ( I believe) that creates
tunnels into your skn and causes the itches and red dots. Antihistamines and antibiotic skin
ointments seem to help the healing process.

Bugs in state park/river?? |
| |
|
Me and my friends went into the state park yesterday and waded about knee-deep into the river, coming home me and one other girl who was wearing shorts found a ton of tiny little bugs all over us. I mean TINY, I didnt even know they were bugs at first, they are probably less than a millimeter big. We thought we got them all off but this morning we found little itchy bumps on our legs. One girl wearing riding pants said she didnt have any on her and I havn't been able to get a hold of the fourth girl. Iv'e had people say they were ticks, and even more people assure me they aren't. I've had one person tell me they were chiggers. A few minuits ago I got a call from one of the trainers at our barn saying her son and his friend went into the woods and found themselves covered head to toe in little red dots, (I only have them on my legs) one doctor said chicken pox, the other said bug bites. We don't know what to think. I know I'm not going in the river any more, probably not even into the woods, please post your opinions or similar cases!!

Hurricane Prediction |
| |
|
Anything could happen, but LI is only expected to get heavy
downpours, and winds up 50mph, at the absolute highest. There is a
cold front moving NNE which is what will push the hurricane off to
the east. However, if the cold front slows down then LI would get
bit worse weather. As of today, the cold front is moving steadily
(to our benefit) and looks like it will push Earl out of our way.
What LI will most likely experience is Tropical Storm type
weather, or NorEaster type weather. Weather is constantly changing
so it is always a good idea to prepare for the worst.
Spray painting your cell phone number on your horse is my best
suggestion and to not lock them in, what do whatever you feel is
safest for your horse. If the horse gets of its
paddock/stall/arena, people can see the numbers without getting
too close and be able to call. Give your cell phones a full
battery charge on Thursday night. The peak of the storm will
reach LI by Friday evening.
If you would like to follow the storm yourself go to www.noaa.gov
and click on "Tracking Dangerous Hurricane Earl".
Hope this helps.

RE : Hurricanes |
| |
|
I've always been told the horses are safer outside then in.
I am leaving that decision up to the owner of the farm i board at, since it is her opinion and knowledge that i trust most, i do have one that will have to stay in, since she is on stall rest.
That being said, please don't leave halters on your horses, if the storm gets bad, and the fence breaks, and they need to run, if they get snagged, that could be a disaster all on its own.
What i would recommend doing, is head down to the local pet stores, and make dog ID tags with cell phone numbers and your address, and your VETS EMERGENCY NUMBER and braid them into your horses manes rubber band that braid nice and tight, and hope for the best.

Look at the FEMA site. They have lots of info. A few months ago they ran an online webinar about pets and disasters.

I'm quite a bit west of most of you but I had no damage from Gloria at all. In fact, my employer had closed the office for the day but as soon as it was apparent that it was a false alarm we went to work. No power outage, very little rain. A dud.
Let's hope it's the same this time. The last map I saw had the storm well out to sea. But that could still impact those to my east.

Hurricane Tips |
| |
|
Horses are generally safer outside. Get as many new garbage cans as you can and fill them with water (they hold a lot!) Stock up on hay and feed, even if your hay gets wet, it can still feed them for a few days before going bad. You can spray paint your phone number on your horse if you are worried about it getting loose, it may look silly BUT your horse will be easy to ID and return!

Hopefully we'll just get some pouring rain with some mild winds. But i don't have in and outs, and if i did I would still lock mine in. I have a cement block barn so it wont blow down but the roof worries me. Going to put all the windows back in securley (they come out for the summer) and close the doors and hope for the best. My three are very spoiled and hate the rain. One would stand out if he had a tornado lol. So i feel better knowing they are safe and sound inside and dry. I'll keep a eye on the barn and run out there periodically make sure nothings leaking or any shingles havent gotten torn off. I would just say make sure water buckets/troughs are full and you have shavings and hay incase this lasts more than 24 hrs. Going to agway tomorrow instead of my usual run on saturday, just in case.
Good luck and hopefully we all make it through (if it does hit) with no problems or losses. Also to the person who said something about attaching coggins. I just write my phone # on my nylon halters with white out &/or markers you could do that too.

Hurricane!! |
| |
|
I am glad someone else posted about the Hurricane. Even if this one doesnt directly hit, Fiona is right on his heels.
If this guy does do a direct hit (which would be a cat 2 at the minimum, especially with this heat wave, or possible a cat 3 which would be pretty bad) what do we do with our horses? Do we keep them in? Do we keep them out? I am really at a loss. Its been 25 years since Gloria, so I am sure we are all a but rusty!
I have a small backyard barn - 10 x 10 shed row with attached paddock. I use it as an in and out but can lock them (1 horse 2 goats) in and have during the blizzard(s) this year. My house has a stockade perimeter fence as well. I am thinking that keeping them out and letting nature and instinct take over should I lock them in and a tree fall on the barn? I am also not in a "horsey" area per se (there are a few new small backyard barns within a couple of blocks) - I was thinking of maybe putting a flyer in all the neighbors mailboxes telling them that if my guys get loose, to not put themselves in harms way to secure them - just let them go and do their own thing. Do you think that is a good idea?
How are people "protecting" their hay? Thankfully I use Tri Forage so it will be safe, but what are other people doing to keep their hay dry should their barn/hay shed get damaged?
I am also going to attach the horse's coggins and contact info on my horse somehow. Where the horse goes 2 goats will travel, so hopefully they will all be together. I am thinking of somehow securing it to his main.
I guess filling up our bathtubs for water as well is a good thing to do. It is recommended anyway in case of a storm, for people, but I it will be harder to keep the animals hydrated than us. We can use bottled.
Gloria was a minimal Cat 1 when it hit here, and the damage was pretty bad, we had no power for a week, and I didnt have a barn then! LOL
Mods? Maybe because of the impending possible hit, could we make the board a little bit more "real time" in case we need to exchange important, last minute information??

Looking for a trail riding partner that can get out during the week. The only day that is bad for me is Wednesdays. I'm in western Suffolk but am willing to travel anywhere. I have a truck and trailer(room for 4) and can either meet you or pick you up(great chance for some one who doesn't have a rig to get out an explore). Looking not only to ride the local parks, but also take some day trips upstate to places like Harriman and Rockerfeller Perserve. I ride a very quiet, well mannered quarter horse that is solid on trail. I don't mind mainly walking and soaking up the scenery but would also be up for some nice runs. If you are interested send me an email and we can take advantage of the coming fall weather.

Why we love horses video |
| |
|
You are invited to view a new video, "Why We Love Horses" which features
various breeds from our award winning series, including Quarter Horses,
Paints, Appaloosas, Gypsies, Gypsy Drum, Dutch Friesian, Peruvian, Paso
Fino,
Morgans, Lusitanos, Clydesdales and Percherons, and of course some driving.
Kind of a bittersweet story about the famed Heinz Percheron Hitch shown in
this clip. Heinz was overtaken by an investor group, whose first actions
were to ax the Heinz Percheron Hitch, which traveled as ambassadors and a
Living History lesson, covering over 53,000 miles each year. For a year after
being disbanded, the hitch was in limbo, looking for another sponsor but
they could not locate one. The original wagon which was completely restored
for use, was donated to the Heinz Museum, and the horses were donated to
Arlington National Cemetery, where they now nobly and proudly serve in funeral
processions for our military heroes.
