I did today, and afterwards wondered if I was setting myself up for trouble. I gave them one each. What do you think about letting them have sweet potatoes, uncooked, as treats from time to time? Stacye

I have moments like that from time to time. My husband is just beginning to learn the joy of being with the horses. We've had afternoons just sitting in the pasture having the horses come up and nibble our toes and untie our shoes and steal our gloves, and it is a good feeling to know that...

Congratulations, Will! I just saw this! Oh what a treat! Keep your fingers crossed for US! Stacye

I met my husband on the internet! We lived near one another but never would have met without it, as our social circles used to be entirely different. He is a musician and I'm a Physics teacher. Pretty big, but ABSOLUTELY POSITIVE impact. He's even liking the horses! Stacye

I realize that farriers are busy folks. I'm sure that you all have plenty to do. I don't have a problem with anyone if they will do what they say they are going to do or if they will respond to courtesy with courtesy in kind. BUT. Here is my problem... Farrier #1 came once to do the minis...

Saturday was SO GORGEOUS! Sun was justa beaming and the temp was balmy and spring in the air and all, I thought that it would be a good day to let a horse or two out into the yard to munch on some fresh green stuff. Worked out real good to start with. We got Bockie and Cruiser out and they were...

:bgrin Jane, I always enjoy your sense of humor! Actually, I've thought about that, but there is SO MUCH to keep clear. We'd like to have someone come and trim the limbs up over head height and clean the woods up some, but the cost is prohibitive and if we tried to do it ourselves I think it...

I would like to have some assistance keeping the undergrowth down in the woods around my home and farm. Someone suggested goats. I know NOTHING about goats other than that I think they are cute. I've been told that they are good for what I need, but I've also been told that they are hard to...

Good for you and Jane for taking care of it as humanely as you did. There are those that resort to poison and such, and a quick trip to oblivion is as humane as you can be. Glad it worked out for you before your horses suffered. Stacye

I sprayed them with fly spray. It says on the label that it kills lice, and it did. Bronco is the one I used, I think, but I have others and they all say that they will kill lice. Stacye

I emailed the lady and told her I'd like to come look at him and see how my children do with him. I really really don't NEED him, if I'm going to be honest about it. We have horses here that the kids can show just fine and dandy. I won't go today. I'll go after I've thought about it some...

I've seen some pintaloosas that I thought were quite striking, and some that I didn't particularly care for. Personal tastes have everything to do with whether someone buys a horse. I've read some on Falabellas and their history. What is it that makes them different from any other miniature...

This owner has had him for almost eight years. Her son won him in a raffle. She is not in a hurry to get rid of him, but since I have minis she thought he'd be happier with his own rather than in the stall and turned out when the big horses weren't out. Mine are out 24/7, he is in most of the...

I've considered that, too, Ashley, and thank you for bringing that up! Stacye

Thanks, looking now...
