    Riley looks very neat in his braids, but I miss his cute little forelock!

    I got lazy about removing his braids, and his mane was long anyway, so I just cut off the tips (had used waxed thread and knotted it at the bottom). Ri's forelock is now a "bang" and he looks like Pete Rose!

    Ooooohhh... Somebody looks awfully handsome! What a place that is. I think all of us would love a photo of our equine framed in one of those stall doors. He ought to be a poster!

    Oh, I hope his forelock grows back in to a natural shape...had a horse that someone pulled the forelock on and it never was right again.....

    You really can't mean being in that gorgeous stall was the high point....surely there were other high points!!! Waiting to hear more....

    What a gorgeous stable but I think my horse is just as happy wallowing in the mud of his backyard paddock as he would be at the Ritz Carlton.

    Well, heck, don't all of our barns look like that? (In our dreams!)

    I'm glad barns like that exist somewhere, even though I will never own one!

    Magnificent!

    I'm always in awe of the lovely arenas and stables (barns?) you have in the US. The use of timber is just beautiful and totally unheard of here, where all our stables and indoor arenas are made from cold, un-luxurious steel. Even our National Equestrian Centre is just a tin shed. Timber must be considerably cheaper there than it is here.

    I enjoy browsing photos of your barns.

    We are starting to see some fancier public facilities, but they are still just concrete and steel with the only timber being the kickboards.

    I've heard shavings/sawdust is relatively rare too. The lumber thing...

    Comment was not meant to offend or to be snide. I misunderstood several of your comments, some of the tone written appeared that you referred to her as the clinician and that you questioned her technique. I apologize if you were offended. Your horse Riley is beautiful. Much luck to you and your horse.
