I am having the area around my barn graded, and it was suggested that gravel be put down afterwards to control mud and erosion. I am not talking pea gravel as the cost is very high. Would it be a bad idea to use larger gravel or would it cause grief?
My 16 yr old gelding recently was diagnosed with ulcers. I had been feeding him enrich 32 for years, but he started walking away from it after a couple bites. I had the vet out to check his teeth which turned out to be fine. A fecal was done and came up clean and the vet said he had ulcers...
I work at an alpaca farm and can assure this is common practice. The animals are NOT hurt and it is not cruel. It is easier to get them sheared when they are stretched out.
I use Cavallo Sport Boots on my husband's mule. They go on and off easily and stay put nicely when riding. I am a farrier and feel these are a great alternative to a nail on shoe.

Sorry you all think the diagram is lame. I got it from some Arab people and was just trying to help you all out. I guess this is why I don't post here very often.
I used to show my minis, but no longer do for a variety of reasons. As many others stated, the politics and attitudes are a turn off. I hate all the makeup that is used as well. I remember a show I went to last year as a spectator, and watched a prominent person using a sharpie marker as...
