I was just referred to you by Mrs. Mom and ...Hello!<br />I was just referred to you by Mrs. Mom and I just wanted to tell you, I LOVE your blog! I'm going to try eventing next season (undecided whether to do intro or beginner novice; my mare and I have ZERO experience, but we need big jumps to get her attention :P) and I ride barefoot...so it's cool to see that you event barefoot so succcessfully! So you never really have problems going barefoot over hills and such? I know some of the events we are looking at have some very steep down-hills, and my trainer told me right away that my mare would have trouble due to her not having shoes w/ studs...I loved what you wrote below regarding studs and such...<br />I saw that you mentioned Stuart Horse Trials somewhere as well...I live 20 minutes away and I've groomed there for 2 years with my trainer. Great event :).<br />I'm slowly combing through your blog; again, great job! Can't wait to read more! You and Gogo look great; she's a pretty mare!Mellimaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16673715214541094159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-60300262377808751632010-01-03T15:39:22.828-08:002010-01-03T15:39:22.828-08:00Katherine, sweet!! I saw you on the Leaderboard. I...Katherine, sweet!! I saw you on the Leaderboard. I got one award too, which of course I had to be a pooper about because last year I got 5 awards. Sore loser right here. But through the new medal program I did get two gold medals and a Rider Achievement award this year... so that ain't all bad.<br /><br />Kelly, thank you for that!!! That's exactly what I need to look at and I will defintely be referring to this list.<br /><br />STB Eventer, yes that's the plan! She's ready mentally, it's just getting her body back. If she's not ready then she's not ready, but if things all go swimmingly (cross your fingers) then there's no reason that we won't be able to do Training by the end of June.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15902291220984883182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-72789104901424730712010-01-03T12:11:05.300-08:002010-01-03T12:11:05.300-08:00Wow, good for you to still be thinking of moving u...Wow, good for you to still be thinking of moving up to Training! I hope things keep improving for you guys! :)Clover Ledge Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03980479474173795906noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-24260031953627515422010-01-03T08:58:06.580-08:002010-01-03T08:58:06.580-08:00Plan on 3 to 7k total for breeding, not including ...Plan on 3 to 7k total for breeding, not including feed, farrier, board and labor. More if it's ET.<br /><br />Breakdown for retail costs (in my area):<br /><br />200 for breeding exam<br />1.5-2k for stud fee (plan on double dose), read the contract for the hidden fees/Guarantees.<br />300-400 collection/handing fee. <br />300-400 for container/FedEx.<br />1k for vet work (will be less if everything goes right).<br /><br />Breakdown of what I spent:<br />150 for breeding exam<br />500 for stud fee (originally 1.5k, bought at auction).<br />300 collection (1 time fee)<br />400 shipping (2 times via fedex)<br />600 vet work<br /><br />Registration:<br />170 - USEF Lifetime, (125) for Lifetime PHR, and (10) American bred horse awards.<br />35 - AHA<br />75- PHR Registry<br />65 - USDF lifetime (unspent)<br /><br />One very important thing to remember is to get everything, documented and in writing. Have your contracts available when your consulting with anyone involved in her pregnancy. You'll save yourself some tears and trouble.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671546506163752884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6364831396028560774.post-73417061948942630262010-01-03T08:13:20.270-08:002010-01-03T08:13:20.270-08:00I'll be at the meeting!
