I am 50 lbs down and I am sure my boy appreciates it, Keep it up! I have an OTTB, 20 yrs old, I rescued him at 5, and did all his retraining. We love trail riding.

I had no family commitments on Th! My food was great. As far as activities, I followed the fox hunt in Unionville, Pa for a few hours. It brought me great joy as I used to exercise the hunt horses in my 50's. Then rode my boy. We headed to the woods to avoid the wind. In the evening visited a friend and her dogs, one is…

Greetings All! I am back after a number of years, down another 15 lbs, total 50, with 40 or so to go. I am 68, daily hiker and horse rider. Whole Foods Plant Based, no oil, sugar or salt. I have been doing quite well lately and thought tracking my diet might help. Other outdoorsy folks?

Hi! Just came back, another 15 lbs down, total 50. I am Whole Foods Plant Based. No oil, salt or Sugar. My main influencers have been Dr Fuhrman, Dr Greger and most recently, Dr. Esselstyn. I have been able to drop my weakness for junk food!

Other interesting researched based authors I have read and watched on YOU TUBE: Dr. Ornish Dr. Esselstyn The Bitter Truth...on sugar, forgot Dr. Name but this is top notch esp for those of us with a full set of sweet teeth Forks Over Knives The China Study Dr. McGregor Hawaiian Vegan channel on YT sponsors many of the top…

I have been thriving on Dr. Fuhrmans plant-based eating plan since March....after a couple starts and bumps in the road. I actually moved over to his site to get daily support from folks working the program. I am down 50 lbs, FEEL so much better, off most meds except the bare essentials....ie for my post heart attack,…

Luv ETL. down 50 lbs so far! Feel so good! Keep up the good healthy eating my Nutrtarians. gotta go play outside now with my fav pal, <~~~~~ Love Sunny Days!

I ride my OTTB almost every evening...it's so hot that I just give him a shower and a hand graze at noon. He has had it easy for the last two months....new farm and his first g-friend, Darby. It was pretty hard getting him tacked up without his beloved Darby! but today after his cool down hosing HE wanted to hand graze!…

ABOVE is for OK and Jackson.Sorry I forgot to quote!

What do,his frogs look like? Is the center, the central sulcus, a thumb print or can you put you pick down a crevass? If you poke around does he flinch, check deep on both sides of the frog, the collateral grooves? Horses trip because their toes are too long and/or because they can not land on the back of their foot…

I have a membership that gives me access to the teleconferences, but not ask the doctor. I am purchasing the 10 DVD set for Immersion for $99 as it was recommended by a number of online friends. I just flood myself with the info daily! so happy you are turning your son on to good eating. My grown kids were raised healthy…

Other active groups on MFP that are of interest: Happy Herbivores Eat To Live Forks Over Knives Susan Swans Blog is really good too. any blogs by ETL folks would make an interesting read. I follow several journals on Dr. F's Forums. They all have excellent resource sections. Education is critical. In the interest of NOT…

I have been on ETL since March and love it! I was a junk food veg and now I am a Greenie! I stumble daily and I learn from each and every one! I love Dr. Fs site and have found a number of discussions in the Forums that really keep me motivated! Like The Healing Garden...we support each other unconditionally. One woman has…

Hi Kat and Good On You! I loved eggs too and gave them up in Feb, 2013. I can't remember, does Forks over Knives have any documentation on the lives of laying hens? For starters, baby chicks are sexed at a very young age. On the documentary I saw, the males were thrown into boxes and then bagged, still alive, to suffocate.…

Fat Free Vegan with Susan Voisin has a great baked bean recipe. Brits and Aussies love it on toast with eggs! YUK I put mine on Greens Greens Greens. Susan follows Dr. Fuhrman's Eat To Live and Eat For Health. Susan also started an Eat 2 Live group on Yahoo and it seems like half of the members are excellent cooks. I Luv…

Loved the album!

When fitting for up for timber racing I see riders spending ALOT of time in 2 point at all gaits. If you are eventing, I would do a lot of hand gallops too. I think in your situation exercise on the horse is what I would do. Here is what I am thinking ...you know how a biker can be in great shape, for biking, but can't…

Good Tips! TX Will try tonight.

Good that you don't own him. Can't you find something FUN! It is worth it!

Delaware, The Small Wonder (Near Philadelphia)

When I am having challenges with a horse, like we just aren't on the same page, I back up a few steps. Do some earlier work, painfully slow ground work and in hand to refind our connection. Calm. I do some fun things like hand grazing. Playing at liberty in a ring. Kicking a big ball around. We get together without an…

My guess is that she had a body issue! sunny had a strange thing with cantering at first. I still need to do work on him!

I joined the Eat To Live Group here and it's quite active. In case it is new to you, ETL was written by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. It is a Healthy, plant based way of eating forever. I have met some nice and very supportive folks. I have actually taken it a step further and am learning about Foraging for Wild Edibles! I found an…

when I first started riding Sunny as a 7 year old...whenever we arrived at an open field, he made a funny noise, leapt into the air with all four, then kicked out. But I called it a Capriole! LOL Then we quickly made a 180 and got back on a trail where we felt very safe!

I have never ridden a crow hop?

What's your trainer say?

Fat free vegan.com has become my regular resource.

Forks over Knives led me The China Study and work by Dr. Esselstyn and back to Dr. Ornish and Fuhrman. If you like plant based whole healthy foods you might like the group called Eat To Live which is a book by Dr. Joel Fuhrman. there are all level of experience. dawn

I could have visited when I was in Nevada!

My name is Dawn and I live in northern Delaware which is on the east coast between New York City and Washington, DC. I have an X race horse, TB. I rescued him as a 5.5 yr old and now he is 14. I rehabbed and retrained him for pleasure and trails using clicker training and positive reinforcement. The last 3 yrs I have been…
