My Husband Pushing Me To Get a New Car

My Toyota Camry now has 140,000 miles on it but it's still going strong. I think it probably has another 100,000 miles in it if I take care of it. My husband keeps trying to get me to get rid of it so he can buy me something newer. But after the trouble he's had with his two year old Mazda, I'm not so sure. He's taken that care to several car repair shops in Ann Arbor where we live and each one gets it running … for about a month. Then it's back on the fritz again. I think it's just lemon rather than anyhing particularly wrong with the Mazda brand. But it makes me skittish about taking my chances on a new car when my existing car has never given me a problem. I think I'll stick with old and true rather than brand spanking new. I like dependable better than "pretty."

How do you stop a horse from running through a line?

I’ve been working with a new horse at the barn, and he has a tendency to rush through lines at hyper-speed. He’s okay going into them, maybe a bit cheeky, but then he takes off after landing the first jump.

I always sit deep and try to rein him in, but he runs through my hands.

Any advice?

How do you get a horse to quit bucking?

My horse bucks almost everytime I ride him now. I have tried changing bits and saddles. I have tried using snaffle and curb bits. He has bucked with a bridle and without and with a saddle and bareback. He has bucked in walk, trot, canter and gallop. If he is going faster than a trot when he bucks I cant get him to stop running. I haven’t been riding very long so I am not that good of a rider. Is there anything else I can try? And why would he be doing it? He has never done it before and I have had him at least a year.
Well I only weigh about 117 pounds so I dont think I’m too big for him. He’s been gelded. I dont have money to take him to a trainer. He is normally really sweet but when he bucks he lays back his ears.
My horse Trigger is a 12 year old quarter horse gelding.

What is the best food for an Arabian horse preparing for an endurance race.?

Hello. I am planning on running the 25 mi Malibu endurance race. I was wondering what brand of electrolytes (AccuLytes, Apple-A-Day,Exer-Lyte, Quench, ect) is best for this purpose. I was also wondering if anyone knew any other tips on nutrition and care to prepare for the race. My horse is a bit older, so I want to make sure he is healthy and ready. Thanks!
