BTDT, fleece didn't work as well as string/cord girths for eliminating girth rubs.

I got some sliced turkey breast to wrap the pills. He almost takes my fingers off as he loves it and is very food driven. The only side effect is some mild diarrhea from the antibiotic which we were warned about. My other concern besides waiting for the lab report is hoping his hair will grow back....

So sorry to hear this, Hugs.

What a great horse!

I have some Ariat Hanover winter paddocks, they're insulated and waterproof. I love them, but I don't think that style is made anymore. I bet ariat extreme h2o insulated paddocks might be a good substitute.

Someone on TOB suggested the skill/willingness might have something to do with people who are puzzle solvers. People who like to problem solve with games and puzzles. That made sense to me, since I'm a big pattern-recognition person (altho my spatial awareness isn't so great). Are you fixers also p...

I learned by growing up helping my father build barns, fences, our house, etc. He's also the master repairman, and I was his tool-hander as a kid. I learned a lot by watching/helping, but I don't have the natural aptitude that he was born with. But then he was a mechanical engineer and I have a libe...

Congratulations! I too like the old names, and had a great grandmother named Viola!

Have you de wormed her with ivermectin? Making sure she got a generous dose?

Just curious, why are you putting him on straight alfalfa?

We ended up getting 4" in 36 hours here. Today was a break in the rain, thankfully, as they're saying a bigger rain event is coming on Monday. Of course my two stand out in it rather than in their nice dry barn. Makes me really miss my old Arab who could stay bone dry during these soarkers, he ...

And here we go again, six weather advisories for our area, and our creek is getting ready to flood the driveway. That hasn't happened for almost 20 years. Oh, and the wind starts tonight so I'm filling the bathtub now in case we lose power.

That's how I got here.

No rush on a fix, but thought you should know.

Nothing has changed. So, I am not sure what is happening. I just logged in through it.

I just saw this essay on the PBS Newshour, about the epidemic of "over helping your kids", it's spot on for the root cause of what Chancellor is seeing. Here is the link to the piece,

First it lost its pull tab and I replaced that, then the bottom stopped grabbing right and I had to hold it a notch up to get it to catch, and now half way up the teeth act up and it pulls apart. I do think I need an excuse. It looks quite ratty and faded, but I think I will check to see what the r...

Hugs to you. I know that empty barn feeling, it hurts, but gets better over time.

I just put out my contribution - I went and bought Boom-Chika-Pop popcorn, that states gluten free.... I put it in a bowl, walked to the other room to grab a spoon to put in said bowl so that no hands go in, and I see a co-worker, grab the spoon from the homemade bits and bites, which is loaded wit...

Yes, it's very tough. I too am celiacs and have many other food allergies. The worst person ever is my own mother...yes, she doesn't care, and chooses to make holiday meals an opportunity to have a tantrum about how my food restrictions cramp her style. This year when I was told that I could just ma...

I would find a really good lameness vet and start nerve blocking from the ground up, then what ever he blocks sound on, X-ray.

I don't like them either, I prefer egg butts.

Batten down, here comes another windy, wet day. 50mph winds today.

No it is not normal for a diesel. Our dodge diesel has had periods in its life where it wasn't driven except for towing, and we've never had the batteries die for lack of use. I'd get a second opinion from a mechanic you trust. P.s. We aren't in the cold climate that you are, so you may have more li...

Some nice bookmarks or a book light?

Wet, very wet, and lots of wind. Power has been on, but flickering all week. Today it's lightning too. My barn has had periods of light flooding despite having a curtain drain. It's just been coming down too hard for the drains to carry it all away. Driveway came close to flooding earlier this week,...

Yes, I worked with saddlefitter, aka Kit now of panther run saddlery in my search to fit my Morgan and this is what she picked.

Saratoga horse works polartec dressage pad. Royal blue. Free for the cost of shipping (should be cheap as it's light).

I have a FB Reflex (now called a Pirouette), for my X wide, big shouldered Morgan. It fit her predecessor who was bigger and had a short back, also. Lovely saddle, and if buying new, many options for trees and saddle leather. I love my saddle!

I'm surprised no one is discussing his proposal today calling for a "ban on incoming Muslims". Wow. Just wow. This man scares the h*ll out of me.

I love my Acorn polarfleece socks, super warm, and last well. For sinfully soft socks, I got some cashmere socks at nordies last year, love them too, but they're not wearing as well.

Eeks! I just got them not too long ago and now they are discontinued!? I hate it when that happens. Perhaps ebay has some?

I just googled and it seems amazon.com has them.

Great! We just finished a week of really cold weather (teens at night and 30s in days), and i had warm fingers when working the horse and pony. They are also thin enough in the fingers to do up bridles. Another pair i kept for doing barn chores was Heritage polarfleece gloves. I got them both at sma...

This reminds me of our wedding, a second wedding for me, and we clearly stated "no gifts please" on our invite. My hubby caught my MIL telling everyone within earshot that meant we wanted cash instead. He corrected her, but it was too late to stop several folks from handing us checks. We w...

Thanks for the link piedmontfields! And thanks to everyone for their kind words so far. Last night's ride was a tough one, I had one very grouchy boy to deal with. We are going to swap out saddles and see if it makes his attitude a little better. It wasn't a bad ride, he is very sensitive and respo...

Stain is all we use on our wood barn and outbuildings. The great thing about stain is there is no prep other than a pressure washing. Painting means lots of prep work,

I gave up and ordered Quest Plus, with some misgivings.

That's what I'm going to do today, but in my small town, I'm not hopeful.
