Oh no, I have that one beat.  How me without pain killers is a lot HARDER on PEOPLE !!!   I am bad enough anyway, but let me get in some degree of pain, and I can be down right hatefull !!!  Trust me, I bet if I showed up for a ride without any, before it was over, somebody, somewhere would be digging thru the medicine cabinet !!!

 

Now see, we can get through these dry spells.....just have to work a little harder.  :)))

Hmm, how about me without pain killers is a lot harder on the horse - off balance, bouncing, compensating, than me on painkillers.  My eyes may be crossed, but I'm posting balanced <G>

Seriously, I can't do stuff like Vicodin on horseback, but I've never had Advil interfere with my sensory perception.

OK Jody:

 

You asked for it and here it is;

 

Every one declares that in endurance competition the horse/rider team is every thing. They are inseparateable, they are a unit, one with out the other and there is no ride.

 

Then many riders wax eloquently about how the welfare of the horse is paramount. How they will go to extremes for their horse and how well they care for it.

 

THEN...The subject of human DRUGS... is broached and from the sounds of things, at least a modicum of posting ride campers indulge in the use of fairly strong pain medications before, during and after a ride.

 

No one, not even superior me, can function in a completely rational manner while under the influence of these pain killers! Your senses are dulled, i.e. PAIN KILLERS!! pain killers dull the senses hat is how they dull the aches and pains that some riders believe they suffer.

 

How can you do this to your horse? It is not in the best interest of the horse to NOT be fully aware at all times while riding.

 

Jody, you asked for it and the flame is lit.

Ah, Come'on people.....we HAVE to have SOMETHING to bitch about !!!  Let's see,

We have more than worn out the LD vs. endurance, the 100's are dying, the Kids are not the future of endurance, the John Crandell and the Tevis issue.....and that has happened in just the last 2 weeks.  Face it.  We have hit a major DRY SPELL.  So, I think we should pick from a list of interesting items to fuss about.

 

Shoe vs. Barefoot

"my breed is better than yours"

To LD or not to LD

Which saddle pad is best.

Beet Pulp (enough said)

Carb load or not

Elyte or not

How much time off?

 

 

Get the idea here.....so, let's live a little.....and spice it up !!!!

 

Jody, who is bored.and REALLY wants this hot, humid crap weather to go AWAY :)

ROFL...I'll betcha anything that Puddin' is a different horse and everyone is getting all worked up over nothing.  Do you *really* think she's planning to do an LD on a 2 yr old?  C'mon now, folks, really...go ride or something.

 

Oh, and a horse has to be a minimum of 4, not 5, to do an LD.

Not only can you not ride a 2YO on a 25 mile AERC ride, why would you want to? They've got plenty of time to do this.

I was under the impression that the horse had to be a minimum of five years old....   please correct me if I err..........  or is Puddin' a different horse.....

I'm posting to find out if any of you are familiar with arabian racing / performance bloodlines.   Please feel free to email me privately so as to not clog up the list.  My two year old filly is half arabian (actually about 90% but registered half).  ............................

She is a grey tobiano, 14.3 as a two year old, full of herself.  Came tearing through the pasture this morning, spun around and I thought I was going to get nailed....no she had two horse flies on her butt for me to mash  :- 0   KILL 'EM NOW MOM!    If anyone can tell me if she has any performance bloodlines I'd appreciate it. 

 

Still shooting for my first LD in October with Puddin'.....Go Puddin'!
