Comment on NO SHADE FOR LIVESTOCK by Jules

Wow! I had no idea there are no provisions for shade. Usually laws these days are pretty nitpicky.

Comment on OUR OWN FATAL MISTAKE – “PENNY” by kylie

D, please stop blaming yourself for this…no one saw it coming and you did everything you could to save her.
if you're going to publicly (and wrongly) blame yourself, at least let people know how hard you tried…no one else alive would've been able to keep her going for as long as you did or given her a better chance at survival.

We received this email from Ms Horton:
Good evening, I found your site through Google alert and I love it. It is exactly the type of site that is helpful to the equestrian community. I am on the City Council and would like to link it to my website, if that is ok with you. The site is http://www.horton4yl.com.
This was my old campaign site that I turned into a community based site. If it is ok to link it, please send me a logo that you would want me to post.
Good job by the way.
Sincerely,
Jan Horton

Good afternoon,
I do not think I have met your dad but I have been to a couple of events over at the Paxton arena, so I am sure I have heard him. I have sent the link to my husband, my master web guy! He will send you a link to my website as well.
If you do not mind-I will also send this link to a friend who runs another local blog. He has a greater following and links community groups also. Look forward to meeting you some day and thanks for keeping our trails and the riders safe.
Sincerely,
Jan Horton

Comment on A DOG TRAGEDY by GoldenPonyGirl

GoldenPonyGirl — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 23:30:48 +0000

I am FED UP with dogs off leash in the Yorba Linda Lakebed!!
I am an older adult that just wants a nice, quiet ride thru the Lakebed . I don't know how many times I have encountered unleashed dogs running on the trails. I have lived here for over 35 years and it is just getting worse.
One year ago I have had two unleashed yellow labs rush right up to my horse and sniff his underbelly…they are lucky to still be alive and so am I.   Last week, one of my friends encountered a family picking berries down in the bog area…thewir dogs were jumping around in the brush and she had to dismount and walk her jigging horse home. Ride ruined and injury thankfully averted.
Some people think the lakebed is a training ground for their hunting dogs..I encountered a pack of humans and dogs down in the middle in the thick underbrush, cavorting off leash as they were training their dogs to "hunt".
I had one lady tell me, in response to my telling her to put her dog on the leash: "Oh, he just slipped out of it…sorry"…..20 minutes later I encountered her and the dogs on the other side of the lakebed…hmmmm…I saw the dog had "slipped" its leash again.
So it is not education…that lady was "educated" enough by me to tell her to leash her dogs…she choose not…after all, who am I to tell her what to do?   EVERY person that I run into with an unleashed dog gets a stern "put your dog on a leash, please". It does no good to put the leash on the dog AFTER it has chased down and spooked my horse.
I have the animal control office on speed dial and I have taken to calling them whenever I see a dog off-leash in the lakebed. (NOTE: If you call, tell them it is a lakebed "Park" otherwise they won't come out) I wish I could carry a badge and cite people.  The lady that owned the labs didn't even bother to say "sorry" as I berated her for the dogs…she just walked away. If I had a horse under me that I could have controlled at that point, I would have followed her home.
I am waiting to be the one to get hurt…it is going to happen. There are enough stupid, thoughtless people out there who think that the lakebed is their own personal dog-park . And, I'm sick of stepping around dog crap every two feet…parvo will be the end result.
And it is not only the horses that are an issue…when the coyote grabs your little fluff ball, don't cry. And, when your dog's head meets my horse's steel-lined hoof because it got too close, don't blame me when it comes out the loser.
So, I warn you dog walkers out there…if your unleashed dog is the cause of.an accident or injury to me or my horse…I will own your house, your cars and your bank accounts. Something has got to be done and it will only take a tragedy until people wake up.

Comment on LOPING CIRCLES DOES NOT A TRAINER MAKE by kylie

kylie — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 04:38:06 +0000

courtney,
she hears of, and experiences herself, real scenarios and writes about them.
if you don't like it when what you do gets brought into the light, maybe you need to change what you're doing.
when i make mistakes, i learn from them, and if i think other people could learn from them, i let them be known. i dont sit around bitching and complaining about how "mean evil people keep telling on meee".
stop complaining and go learn from all the stupid shit you do.
what have YOU accomplished?
have you ever broken a horse? have you ever actually put any training into a horse? or do you know how to LOOK like a trainer? ive known you for two years and ive never seen you do anything other than act like a snobby bitch and lope circles in your big ass spurs on broke horses.
do you know what to do in case of an emergency? do you actually do it? or do you call the vet and freak out because you dont want to mess up your manicure?
i've known denise for over five years. ive been there when vets called her for advice. ive seen her turn racehorses deemed "dangerous and unridable" into western pleasure horses. ive seen her save many horses lives. i trained my own horse under her guidance, and no one believes me when i tell them how old she is because she acts so much like a finished horse. ive seen her nurse horses through injuries when they had a survival chance of less than five percent.
stop looking at your fake tan and big boobs in the mirror and take a look at what YOU've done for the horse world. nothing.

WOW!!!! Way to make a liar out of yourself here Denise… Apparently your word means nothing… you promised me that you would remove hurtful articles and instead left this "Blog"
Denise maybe you should stick to stories that are told to you verses creating unreal scenarios and posting them… Not everyone wishes to have their lives and/or animals made public… You Should Know Better and Respect That! Especially for those whom have lost animals that they LOVED DEARLY!!!!!!!
Its sad that I have known you for over 10 years and this is how you are willing to treat me…. How do you treat your true friends & family?? Imagine what else you have said…
To think that at one point I looked up to you and respected you and your opinion makes me sick to my stomach, literally… Those in glass houses should not throw stones… Everyone does things in their own manners and it works for them! Dont you call yourself a horse trainer…. what have you accomplished this year with all your clients? Why dont you write about all the success they have had from your training abilities! Thats what people want to read about.. How you do things and how you teach.. WRITE THAT FROM YOUR EXPERIENCES….. Thats what this Blog should be about!

#3- yikes, five days? how about late fees…then a warning…then kicked out? that's the only one i would really change…haha

Kylie, I like my version better. And who the hell is John?

kylie — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 02:42:22 +0000

John, don't make unfounded accusations. It's easy to get the facts wrong sometimes, and, as I DID tell the Schreyer's this story, it went from the girl's father to me to Denise to Jack, and so obviously there were quite a few chances for mistakes. However, the main point of the story stands true.
and calling someone a lying scoundrel using that type of grammar just makes YOU look like an idiot.
Jack, the horse ran through barbed wire fencing and Laura, the girl who was injured, is the younger sister of Mandy, a girl who used to hang out with D and happened to be there with her waiting for the vet. Laura was playing on some boxes and fell into a mirror, slicing open an artery behind her knee (I've seen the scar). The girls were home alone, and Mandy was able to save Laura's life by copying Denise while they were waiting for their mother to get home to take her to the ER.
sorry for the confusion =/

It's amazing that horses will take such abuse and still try to be a "team player"! Sounds like this owner should skip the riding for a bit and work on equine behaviour. You're not kidding when you said "learn, learn & keep on learning!"
There's a great subscription(online) with Jessica Jahiel that I've learned alot from. She answers lots of questions and explains things with that "not so common" common sense…………

Thanks for this article. I had a close call with my dog a few weeks ago and realized I haven't done enough with him.
He's not a pure bred, but maybe I can give him some training in return for the unconditional love he has given me all this time.
