Thanks Quelah, no offence taken. Pics are recent. Will trim and take more pics on Tues. I should have taken pics when I started doing them as they were way way worse. He's really not retired as much as I don't want to ride him until his hooves are better. The frogs, especially the frog on his left, ...

Saddlebum

I don't ride him. Rode him 3x last year and once so far this year. The soil is loamy/sand, very soft, no self trimming at all. He has a toe first landing. He plays really hard with my donkey EVERY morning if it's not too awfully hot. They have minimum 2 acres and 4 acres when I open the lower pastur...

I took pics. Over the 16 years I've had this horse, I've had many farriers out and gave each one of them a year to two to make changes.

Here are some pics. They are deceptive imo beacause the sole at the toe is nearly even with the hoof wall as far as depth goes.

Saddlebum

I trim my horse myself and have for 1.5 years. They appeared to be doing good until yesterday when I noticed a toe crack just starting out. He's barefoot and has suffered medial flares and long toes for years because of poor trimming and also white fungus in his frogs which gave him deep central sul...

Yes, Kelo nailed it. I purchased a JRT mix from a rescue when he was 6 months old. He and sibs had been found near fainting on a dirt road and emaciated. They had had him 2 months when I got him. My friends thought him autistic but I felt he was just scared. I worked with building his confidence up ...

Color because it gives the pic a richness and I love Bays. The B&W, to me, looks almost skeletal.

Here is a good article I found about Flax Seed and the benefits to horses, whether to grind or not to grind...

Saddlebum

I know flax needs to be ground up and fed fresh to maintain it's benefits. I've just started feeding it to my horse and donkey.

How much does everyone feed at a time and how many times a day?

Saddlebum

bits, I copied your post and sent it to my nephew as it illustrates how one can be taken in and then how integrity does not hold up through time. Good insight on how realtors are ultimately an employee of yours and not you of them.

Thanks!

Saddlebum

Have you thought about bat houses? Bats LOVE mosquitos. I have heard ag. farmers put them up to help with bugs around their crops as a natural deterent. Love your pond, beautiful. Also, more and more people are putting in ponds. We have a business nearby who deals with installing waterfalls, ponds a...

Saddlebum

He walked away and ended up getting his deposit back after all was said and done. Thank You Everyone as his decision to walk away was largely based upon what he read here.

The garage door in the walk out basement was removed and we sealed it up with T1-11 and 2"x8"s and walk thru door. It faces West and receives the hot afternoon sun. Small space, 9'x7', the rest is cinder block. I am wanting to keep the lower level cool as much as possible during the summer...

AWESOME NEWS! Hug all your critters and wallow in the pleasure of it for a long long time!

My parents always had bottom freezer because of the eye level advantage to most used compartment. When I moved out and into my own home, that was one of the first things I replaced and got a bottom freezer fridge. That said, I purchased a door unit and hated that. Open the freezer door then pull out...

Excellent for the da da's who watch and oh my, believe, duh. So irritating to hear ppl talking in the grocery store or diner about these ads and how they buy into them.

Saddlebum

never heard of that rule till today (grin) but ok PaulaO, here ya go and I hope they are not too big.

Saddlebum

My donk in Pink???? He would hee haw his self around till the neighbors came home - hahaha.

I'm thinking about these as the price is reasonable along with some good reviews

I can't get it any where near buttery. Crumbly yes, but maybe I will have to roast the almonds and then give it a break when it gets so hot.

The recipes I found on-line said if the almonds were roasted, no oil needed. If they were not, then add oil.

Saddlebum

ugh, pricey but the reviews were good. I'll get a set for my donkey and if they work, will get for my horse. Thank You.

Saddlebum

http://www.jefferspet.com/products/fly-leg-band-1-sz-fits-all-set I know the reviews are mixed on Jeffers but am wondering if anyone on this board has experience with them. Do they work and for how long? Are your snaps or velcro and how well did they stay on? My donkey gets eaten alive if I don't sp...

Saddlebum

I think he's beautiful!

Saddlebum

Yes, I think I am. It has a top that has long arms which go down into the jar and as the almonds are ground up, you twist the top so the arms against the inside of the jar moves the material around better as the blender is operating.

It's a mini-twister I think.

Saddlebum

I have a Blendtec Mini blender I purchased to make almond butter with but am afraid I cannot get the texture anywhere close to buttery/spreadable. It gets really hot in the effort but still, no luck. I put Almond Oil, about a Tbs. along with some Maple Syrup, Tbs., a 1/8th tsp of red salt, a heaping...

Well, I never saw Cloverfield but I do enjoy psychological thrillers, edge of your seat thrillers - NOT Halloween type horror movies. Saw Halloween with a guy I had just started dating. Made him sleep on the couch for two nights before I could stay alone, hehehehe. He was a sport about it. Even so, ...

Saddlebum

Wondering if it's a horror movie as I and my friend cannot watch those types of films. Watching the trailer, this looks intriguing. Cannot watch anything too scarey/horror stuff.

Saddlebum

Need to see more of her little prance she did at the end please... very sweet!

Saddlebum

Whoo Hoo! I saw it with my own eyes. Homer, the donk, had the zoomies! Then he went after my horse and they reared, played and Homer got the zoomies - AGAIN! Life is good (for now

)...

Ketchup Chips???? wow, actually they sound good. We do not have a T.J. within hours of here. Wish we did. HAVE FUN!

Saddlebum

I Agree! My dad was a realtor and before the melt down, if a buyer placed an offer on a house, the appraiser would consider its worth at least as much as the offer simply because someone was willing to buy it for that amount, meant it was worth that amount. He was a realtor for over 30 years. He tol...

My 84 yo friend asked me to board her gelding for the winter and I said sure!, bring him over. We spent a month trying to integrate him in but my Roo would NOT let him near HIS donkey. She took her horse to another friends further away. I have boarded horses before with noooo problems but that was w...

Saddlebum

I saw the pics of this house on-line and it looks like they kept it up. May have waited too long on replacing the roof, hence mold in the attic, but it does have a newer roof so who knows. I think it will serve his needs. Am happy for him, first house, mid 20's, good job. Don't know what the rest of...

Saddlebum

He did not use the seller's agent. He used a close acquaintence he thought was a friend actually. It went sour really fast. He wanted tests done and they did not want to be bothered. He wanted to things put in his offer that his realtor actually said "oh no!, they'll never go for that". I ...

Saddlebum

He's going to get out of this agreement with the realtor as soon as this offer is concluded, yea or nae. I'm wondering about his loan also. He feels really good about the final offer covering the cost of replacing the water main, getting rid of the mold, feels like he did his research. I don't know ...

Saddlebum

I wholeheartedly agree!

Saddlebum

I'd like to go for a test ride/tour. When the lake was really calm, hehehehe.

I have a 17hh gelding and a 12.5 hh donkey (gelded) who is about a year younger than my horse, 16 yo. I got the d. from a rescue that had at least a 100 of them on the premises and it was a satelite farm. She had been doing rescues for many years. My guy loves to play and she said the male d. like t...

Nephew hired a friend who is a realtor who works for her mother, the broker. He's looking for a house to buy. (They are not friends any longer.) They found one, placed an offer. He has found himself on the bad side of his realtor and her mother both. He's a first time home buyer. Problems: they put ...

Saddlebum

He's walking normal and getting around. Still laying down more than usual but way less than last week. I cannot say in words how relieved I am. Calling the vets. tomorrow am with the update. He's getting lots of carrots and apples, hugs and yes, kisses!

Saddlebum

Suzon, think about a donkey to fill her mother's place. My donk gives off an energy that is enabling, compassionate, sucks you into him for love and much needed hugs. A donkey might help her get over her grief. A consideration.

Saddlebum

He is getting around and walking nearly normal The canine lyme test was negative. Friend suggest stopping the antibiotic to see what happens. I'm scared to do so but I suppose I should. Started it Monday evening and gave the fifth dose last night. The antibiotic caused a lot of edema in his neck. Ga...

Thanks, went to hsn.com and found this phone. ?, can I get gps and wifi on it? I don't know how to find this out on any of these phones.

UGH, I had bunion, hammer toe, morton's toe surgery last November. I could not stay off it. The repercussions are not good from being on it too much. I'm really suffering now. I can't advise but think it wise to JUST STAY OFF IT. Get a neighbor, family member, friend over to do chores. And not for j...

He's been convicted of some terrible behaviorial issues. Found guilty. He says to your MIL they were not his fault. This is not a changed person. He is not 'taking responsibility' for his previous actions. He may have stopped drinking and feels better but, saying he couldn't control his temper while...

my experience with my gelding is grinding signals ulcer or ulcer coming on. May be why he's thin. My guy frets. His mother was a worry wort and got hiccups.
