    Barn (foaling) camera tech- what do you use?

    Hi there, I am currently assembling a barn / foaling camera system for BBF Suzie-Q's 6/22 predicted foaling. Don't want to spend a whole lot because it's quite possibly the only foaling I'll be doing for quite a while, maybe the last (that's what I said last time though in 2008 ). I have a...

    Dangerous objects found in premium name-brand horse feed

    I just found two large flakes of rusty iron in my Allegra senior formula pelleted feed! I can't imagine what kind of damage this would do to my poor girl's throat... The bag lists the place of milling as being located in Bellevue, Washington. It's a senior formula in a blue bag. PM me if...

    Supplementation with SULFUR?

    I have very recently found consuming a small amount (teaspoon) of organic sulfur crystals, dissolved in tap water has significantly benefitted my overall mood and energy level. I can feel a nice warm glow in the stomach after taking it which lasts for hours. My stomach feels tighter, posture is...

    1980's holiday television

    Here's a fun site for people who were kids in the 80's: http://betamaxmas.com/ The old TV looks like one you probably had in your wood panelled basement, and you have to adjust the rabbit ears to get a clear picture. Use the remote to change the channel or read the TV Guide. It's really...

    Farm ATVs

    I've been thinking about getting a quad for doing work around here, hauling hay, feed, horse poop, yard debris, etc. Wouldn't hurt if it was fun just to take it into the woods though, too! Doesn't have to be fast like a Banshee or Blaster. I've got an old Tri-Moto 2-stroke 3-wheeler that...

    Barn ground surface choices

    Hey there, I just brought in some clean fill dirt to bring up the floor elevation in the barn, to prevent flooding that has occured in the past few years. This dirt is very powdery and now is coating everything in there and aggravating my allergies. It's just no fun to be in there. I can...

    Amateur Radio

    I've been thinking about going after a Technician's license... I used to talk on the CB in the 80's. All of my friends had mobile and base station radios and used to meet for "Breaks" at restaurants every few months or so. I enjoyed talking to people and occasionally working someone out of...

    Testicles dropping late in life / disappearing testicles

    A few days ago I discovered what I thought was my cryptorchird thirteen year old stallion had two, uniformly sized testicles in the scrotum. Up until then, there had only been one visible and neither I nor the vet could ever locate the other. I was always a little bummed about his problem...

    Morgan gets a Christmas Present-

    Morgan, AKA BBF's Soda Jerk is my first miniature horse. He was my neighbor's when I moved in to my current home in 1997, and when they sold the property they offered him and his gelding donkey buddy Wyatt Earp to me. When they sold him, they mentioned that one of his testicles have never been...

    Lasik vision correction

    Recently on my way to work at a job site I have been driving by a Lasik center, and it's got me thinking... I'm nearsighted and have had to correct my vision since I was about 16 or so. I wore contact lenses years ago but eventually my eyes just couldn't handle them for more than 5 or 6 hours...

    Cheap mood elevating beverage?

    Ok folks, Here's a weird one for you... A couple of weeks ago I was in Walgreen's looking for something to quench my thirst. I grabbed a colorful looking bottle with lots of fruit on the label.... "Fuze Slenderize Tropical Punch" I hadn't even read the writing on the label in the store...

    Yes, it is Pro-Obama... but no matter who you want for President...it's fun to see these characters once again http://www.funnyordie.com/videos/cc65ed650d I like how Ron says how he has voted for BOTH PARTIES before. I agree with that! Loyalty to your party is a weakness! Think...

    Dangerous Tree Species- Buyer Beware!

    With all this recent talk on buying trees, I think it is timely to warn people about a carnivorous type that feeds on horses as shown here: Please be careful when selecting new trees for your yard! :DOH! :DOH! :DOH! Daryl PS. No, it's not a stallion who was looking for some um...

    Do you tip your farrier?

    I was talking with someone the other day who mentioned the practice. I've never done it... not that I didn't on purpose... it just never occurred to me. My farrier hasn't raised his prices in the three or four years I've used him, it's still $20 per horse. So maybe it's time for a tip...

    Hey everyone- I just got an offer from someone to hay my field... they have been doing the lot across the street for years. I have been just paying a guy to brush cut it every year, so have no experience with this. Of course, I can use the hay so am wondering what is usually agreed upon in...
