Sorry to all you folks that need to use the vet, but he will not be coming in to work tomorrow and the next day and possible the rest of the week.

Maybe one of his children will take over for him. All that money just to find out it's down to one of these two things...

My record is 27 vet visits. at least for me it was tongue tie and not bandages!
My record gallops without getting equip is 38 she still doesn’t have her proper equip. Oh hey! She just had her 6th start yesterday! Blinkers was the answer lol
Edit: second horse was suppose to be Adorbs, not wonderland again

Re: 32K Vet Bill For Bandages - Thanks Dr. Hacklu
See the vet I always pay up for because you will eventually get it and it will take you anywhere from 2-7 minutes of clicking, but with a gallop piece, this is why I give them workouts with different pieces. It takes 7 or 8 weeks then rather than 6 starts or countless gallops to finally get the equipment right.Rochelle Zahacy wrote: ↑4 years ago My record is 27 vet visits. at least for me it was tongue tie and not bandages!

Admittedly, there has been one horse ever that my workout method could not pinpoint the correct equipment for but the trainer didn’t want to cough it up either. I eventually asked about it when Em was doing thanksgiving equipment checks for one horse. Bit of a waste because the filly was only a solid and ended up being a ‘some potential’ broodmare but she infuriated me so much that I just had to know.
But of course I’m not telling you how to play Rochelle, if you prefer doing it this way there’s nothing wrong with it! I’m sure it suits your training schedule and methods more as well.

Remember when the equipment checker didn't tell you if it was gallop or vet? I spent $110k on Prayers trying to find her second piece... galloped 27 times too. Never got confirmation so I just gave up and went with blinkers LOL

Oh God remember the days when we thought equipment wasn’t that important? And for those of us that believed it made enough of a difference, we had to use the running lines in order to try and figure out which equipment would work best?

I tried the workout method last year on my yearlings, so many workout times were too close to tell and it was SO much work lolCarole Hanson wrote: ↑4 years agoSee the vet I always pay up for because you will eventually get it and it will take you anywhere from 2-7 minutes of clicking, but with a gallop piece, this is why I give them workouts with different pieces.

I’d rather just pay for my stakes+ and zoomy allowance. The rest are unlikely to hit the track at all and it’s easier just to gallop them to keep them fit in the off chance they do improve, and then they get their equipment gets purchased, chances are high that their gallop piece was discovered via training by then too. My horses get galloped every 3-4 days, so twice a week, minus the two weeks for mandatory workouts. So as yearlings they have 28 chances to give it up, 99% of them do if their second piece is from gallops.
In Adorbs‘ case (I realize now that I linked Wonderland twice lol Adorbs is supposed to be the second guilty party) she was a weird anomaly when she hit the track at 2 she was a stakes late bloomer, she was SUPER meh so I threw her in my custom barn for slackers where she enjoyed many more gallops. This year’s 8.6 change she switched from late bloomer to peak! So I threw her back on the track, even without her second piece because BUTT. And she won twice! Hopefully she can keep it up now having her full equip haha
Note: I just woke up 10 minutes ago, and my Vyvanse hasn’t had a chance to kick in lol so I’m sorry if this is hard to follow/all over the place

Is it still possible to figure out equipment from running lines? How do you do that?Carole Hanson wrote: ↑4 years ago Oh God remember the days when we thought equipment wasn’t that important?

Re: 32K Vet Bill For Bandages - Thanks Dr. Hacklu
i think it is very possible still though it does require guess work. I never would have Gp's really so I've always had to use workouts/running lines to figure out equipment for horses i had bred. (usually i think i would be wrong though lol) but i still think it's possible. at least say for standardbreds say they fight the driver well a Tongue Tie imo should help with that. or maybe it's a blind bridle.Flizan Hambletonian wrote: ↑4 years agoIs it still possible to figure out equipment from running lines?

Some running lines are associated with different equipment needs, it's not a perfect science but I still use this list from time to time when I need to:Flizan Hambletonian wrote: ↑4 years agoIs it still possible to figure out equipment from running lines?

I also remember it being posted that horses that need bandages tend to need more recovery time

It's at least twice the cost getting pieces from the vet this season than in the past.
