Today I added a little more protection... Measured, cut, fabricated, & installed Pet Screen to help reduce insects in the barn. Then rewarded for my efforts, but my photo didn't do it justice - it was quite intense & beautiful 😍 ...

  • Great news - my 1st test was successful and I DID get the notification that this discussion was started 😁 Here is a screenshot of my settings & the notification... Next test is to post from Mom's account on the "Group Notifications" discussion that I created that IS BOOKMARKED to make sure I get a notification from it.
  • Hello everyone! Our Horse Enthusiasts group could be an active & successful platform for all of us, but I'm tired of complaining about the lack of activity here. So, in a final attempt to encourage MFP to implement Push Notifications for Groups, I have submitted my request to the "Feature Suggestions and Ideas" thread in…
  • @Mouse_Potato - I've never been to a "barn party." Is it like a normal party, just held in a barn? I know colic is a serious condition and has SO MANY causes... Anything that increases stress in any way can cause it, but I've never really considered weather fluxuations to be a significant factor as long as there is…
  • Welcome @jeanm927 Honestly, this group isn't as active as I would like. Problem is MFP won't implement push notifications when there are new posts, so members don't know when there is new activity. I have asked several times 😖 Anyway, I'd like to hear about your progress and horse journey. You mentioned show season is done…
  • Whew! Hopefully getting back to normal (at least until Thanksgiving). I am still cleaning up my Halloween decor and there is a caldron of candy sitting in my living room floor that tempts me more often than I'd like to admit 😅 As promised, here are some of my family's costumes... Dwayne & I were Smurfs 1st place winner was…
  • Hello group! MIA for a while 😅 sorry for the "silence". We've been dealing with quite a bit around here. Our new windows & doors were installed earlier than expected - 3 day job completed 9/13/23 and made a HUGE improvement to our home. I then ordered custom blinds & got them installed just before my birthday. Right now we…
  • Hello group 🌞 A little more exciting (and expensive) news here in VA... We are getting all new custom windows & entry doors for our whole house (@Mouse_Potato - remember my sock drawer $$ 🤣). They are ordered & 1st half paid: should be installed in early October 🤞 Definitely can't afford a premium horse now!! Also, Slate &…
  • Hi @Mouse_Potato - Happy to be riding sounds good to me! I realize there are pros & cons to arena riding, but I'm glad you have that option. I don't have access to an arena, so poor weather or unstable footing means I can't ride. I am thankful though, that as long as its not precipitating I can ride on our gravel driveway…
  • Hello group! Just thought I'd post a little update... A very exciting day for Slate & I yesterday because we finally got to trail ride "away" from home. A new horsey friend that I met through my Nextdoor group offered to pick us up in her trailer & take us for a trail ride in the George Washington National Forest. We had…
  • Hello everyone! I hope you had an amazing Independence Day 🎆 Our Freedom here in the States is not FREE and I am thankful everyday to those who fought for our independence, as well as those who continue to fight now and in the future 🎇 @Mouse_Potato & @jumpthemoon Where are you from? (I'm just curious) We enjoyed a very…
  • Welcome to the group @OTTBHunterLady Unfortunately, I will not be able to offer great tips. I am a frequent "restarter" and while I do find success here, it is only when I am very consistent with tracking EVERYTHING and staying within my daily exercise & nutrition goals. It is up to me to make the right choices and it is…
  • Jumpthemoon: Welcome back to the group! I've been submitting requests for MFP to employ "push notifications" for group comments for a while now. Everytime I contact CS they forward me to a link to submit my comment or suggestion. I even added it to my rating for the app on Google Play. I am convinced that there are lots of…
  • Hello everyone! Well, once again I have contacted MFP for support for our groups requesting the option to have push notifications of member comments. We already have push notifications for messages & likes to activities and profile posts as well as the option to turn them on or off, so I really don't see why this isn't an…
  • Unfortunately, NO this group is not very active. I think there would be a LOT more activity here if MFP would update their notification options to add push notifications on the app or website for group comments (the same way we get notifications if someone messages). I have contacted support about this, but not received a…
  • @Mouse_Potato - she is lovely! Now that it has been a few months, how are your rides and relationship with her coming along? Are you still working with the trainer & using the western saddle? I want to apologize for being MIA the last few months. I've been trying to find 'horse friends' here in my neighborhood and started…
  • OH dear! I'm guessing since you added LOL at the end of your premature dismount, you were able to "stick the landing" 😅 Great job - I love a good introduction. Welcome to the group. I imagine if MFP ever figures out how to send notifications of group posts, that this group will one day be more active (hopefully). I look…
  • OH WOW! @Mouse_Potato Your message was posted over two weeks ago. I really wish MFP could add notifications for group posts. I'm really happy to hear your ride went so well. Just sorry I didn't see your post until now. Funny, it's the opposite for me - almost 2 decades since I've ridden in an English saddle 😅 So will you…
  • @Mouse_Potato I can't wait to read about your progress with Princess. I did make my goal for October! The same goal for November, hope it goes as well. Still have the barn project happening, and of course the Holidays & shopping at the end of the month. We shall see 😅
  • My riding & consistency is better so far this month despite being distracted with home rehab projects. One week left of October for 4 more rides to complete my 15 ride goal. Barn site is ready for new building... Yes, I'm excited ✨😄🌟
  • Hi @Mouse_Potato I was wondering if you have ridden your Princess yet. Do you plan to take a few lessons from the trainer with her (just in case she tries any of her old tricks)? I would love to read any update you are willing to offer. Well, I didn't do as well as I hoped with my riding activities. Only 7 rides for the…
  • @whitehallriding - WoW! Thank you for sharing :smile: Unfortunately, this group hasn't been very active. I believe this is because members do not get notified when there are new posts. I look forward to hearing more about your horse journey (include husband & children too :wink:)
  • @Mouse_Potato - Smart 🐴 pony! So what did your trainer say on Thursday? I like to think I'm a fair but firm leader. I say if they feel good enough or have enough energy to do the wrong thing, then they are good enough to do the right thing. I will stop and test if I think something is wrong - but the test is light…
  • Ugh! Typo in my last message. That's what I get when I'm typing messages on my phone after midnight 😂😂 I meant... @Mouse_Potato - just curious... what are you having you're trainer WORK on with your girl? Anyway, I DID get back in the saddle today 😁 Ride was cut short due to pouring rain, but it was good.
  • @Mouse_Potato - just curious... what are you having you're trainer with on with your girl? Well my intention was there, but I haven't ridden since my last post. Friday was gorgeous, but Hubby & I went to his appointment to finally get his tooth implant finished (took over a year total) so we celebrated with a night out.…
  • Update! Rather than just accepting the silence & inactivity in this group, I've decided to post updates for my horse life here. I invite ANYONE to comment, and/or join in with their own updates. All activity is welcome 😁. I have been using Equilab to track all my horse activities - except chores which I track with my Lily.…
  • I totally understand your endearment! I was the same with my 13 year old Mastiff with his gray muzzle - I got some pretty weird looks 🤪 I just wanted to share the description in case anyone felt the need to comment about the pics of me riding Sunny. It wouldn't be the 1st time (& probably not the last either) for someone…
  • @TrailRider53 - Welcome to the group! Unfortunately, not a very active group, but I like the conversations we have her when they happen. I blame MFP indirectly for the inactivity of the groups because there is no notification of new activity or comments unless you deliberately check the community page daily. Otherwise, I…
  • Oh Man!!! I'm so JEALOUS! I love cruise vacations - I've been lucky enough to have gone 4 times in my adult life. Hoping to go again soon (maybe for our 25th year anniversary). I'm so glad to hear your horse is okay. I imagine that took some of the fun out of your vacation 😳 So, I've been asked by a couple people now about…
  • Wanted to post a couple pictures from today but couldn't do it on my phone. So I had to log in on my PC to share... Got to ride 3 times today! 1st with my mom for a "Riding for Fitness" session to help her get back into heathy exercise. Meet my Mamma - with Slate 🐎 I rode Sunny while she rode Slate 🏇 Then my usual strength…
  • Well, I got a reply... Durden (MyFitnessPal) Feb 15, 2022, 8:54 AM PST Thanks for taking the time to contact us and for the great suggestion to add push notifications to Groups. We do not currently offer this as a feature, but will definitely consider it for a future update. We love when our members help us try to improve.…
