It is called Suzie'S Tartar Liquid. It's not cheap, but it does seem to
work. We used it with our 12 year old Groendal whose breath was getting
prety bad and within two weeks his breath was no longer quite so offensive.

I am still doing it. I was demoted. Well, not exactly demoted... the
girls in my class were all working toward competition and I am just
there for fun, so they put me in a lower level class. That was fine by
me because I am too big and too old for the height and number of jumps
there were doing. The new class is a 10 am Sunday mornings instead of 9,
so I don't have to set an alarm.

We lost a girl in our class a few weeks ago. She is out for at least two
months. It was one of the nastiest spills I ever saw. She wanted that
horse, which tends to spook and take off. It happened a few times early
in the lesson. The last time it happened I caught the action looking
over my shoulder. The horse bolted. She got discombobulated. When I saw
her she was in front of the saddle and hanging over to one side. The
idiot horse ran her into the wall. She hit on of a pillar and crumpled.
She was pretty dazed. Her father was there so I didn't have to render
first aid, and when she finally got up her left shoulder was sagging a
few inches, so I figured that she had broken her collar bone, and it
turned out that she had. So she is in for a world of pain for a month or
so. Been there, done that, got the crooked collar bone to prove it.

I just heard back from a Horse Alternative Therapy program that I
applied to last month. They are talking about a training session for
next Saturday afternoon. I don't know if I will be able to get some free
riding there, but I figured that it was about time I invested some time
in volunteer work, and in a field I enjoy.
