Cinnys Whinny

Just because I don't answer something right away doesn't mean im upset, it justmeans I am a mom of a 2 year old and a teen....I have other responsibilies lol.

Hi. I noticed that you haven't come back after asking your question, and I hope that you aren't too frustrated with the responses to continue? You have been very brave and forthcoming in your posts and especially by providing video, which made me assume that you truly want the help you asked for, as disparate as that an be on an Internet forum. Your questions are all valid, and you can be sure that there are many people lurking who share your questions and your issues with Cinny, and are anxious to share in the knowledge that you have bravely asked for, without the scrutiny.

I would be happy to help you through PMs, if you'd be more comfortable. But please watch Jane's video so that we can start with some common ground.

Best,

Cool post about tapping and touching. My gelding is sunscreen shy and so I've been target training various items for him to touch. He backs up with anxiety from scary items. I've treated hin for not backing up and for touching the item. When you say you tap and he touches, are you tapping with the dressage whip to say, his toe, or your fingers?

Happy Birthday again! Have a great day!

When I go to your profile I see a picture there so I am assuming you mean the picture that is next to your name when you post. This is actually a different picture. It really confused me too when I first came here. What you want to do is click on "user CP" That will take you to your user control panel. On the left you want to click "Edit Avatar." Your Avatar is the picture that shows up on your posts. You can either use a picture that is already on the web such as one you have on your Flickr account or photobucket or you an upload one. They work best if they are no biger than 200X200. I found that 200H X 150W works best because sometimes it will squish your picture and distort it.

Does this help?

How do you get a profile picture up :) thanks

I have a friend that goes to local sales like that and she trys to take home those poor souls that are so bad nobody wants them and puts them in her pasture. Sometimes she lucks out and a few grow up...

So freakin cute!!! Looks like we have a fuzzy ball of personality here!

I think even with a "due date" that is on spot, you can still go crazy because they will opt to be late and play tricks on you LOL.

Today we went for our first REAL workout, canter and everything since Cinny was hurt. We had a walk/trot lesson last week that went well but I haven't been able to go back because my neck and back...

That last pic is so sweet....he look so innocent just peeking around the door :)

How is the horse's behavior otherwise? There are other things that can cause this too, a big one is magnesium deficiency. Does the horse have other symptoms that have been brushed off as "behavioral...

Well, it's been a little over a month since the vet assessed her as a 2. I think she may be a 3 now, not sure. Her ribs still stick out so much that I don't want to actually use a rubber curry in...

I worked with her for the first time today. It has been about 3 weeks since the vet looked at her, I found out. I donn't think she is quite a 2 anymore though she is ribby, her spine and hips...

Thank you so much for your tips! I agree about not working, I want to see some padding on her first. I'll just keep watching her in the dry lot to see how active she is, or maybe turn her out in the...

Yay, my usual vet was able to make it out today and he gave Cinny a full assessment. He is one of the few lamness specialists in my state so I feel like I can really trust his opinion. And this is...
