    Hair for bird's nests

    One of the reasons I don't use Ivermectin, Is that I grow worms in the pony poop to compost it. This will be just one more reason not to use something that carries over through the poop and now hair. DR

    Need some show help!

    Thanks, The pony is one that will follow me without the lead. She will easily match my gait, and follow my finger through the poles. But the grand daughter doesn't have real control yet. I think we are going to have fun. She has good posture, and a good seat, She is just not confident yet...

    Ravens, The winged ones!

    Good ideas!I might hang a Hula Hoop over the water with fringe hanging down. The horses would have to put there heads through the fringe to get to the water. part scare crow, part cover for the water! And I'll put a water barrel out near their nesting trees. If it works I don't care which one...

    What's in your tack trunk?

    We have Tack closets, they are about 4 feet square and about 7 feet tall. They hold two saddles and all the gear for one horse. they are sealed pretty well to keep out the dust. Our last big horse passed in 08 or 09, and I hadn't been in her closet since. When one of our older grand daughters...

    Ravens, The winged ones!

    When Do You Call It Quits?

    Pony training question?

    Thanks I'll give that a try! The pony is just over 9 hands, So if I'm not getting good results I may hire one of the local girls to work her for me. I think I can teach the leg ques from the ground, But I'm going to have to give the reining another try! DR

    Small pony sadles

    Marty, I don't see any clip. the fender goes up under the skirt, over the bar [ tree ], and back down between the bar and padding. I would have to cut away a lot of the fender to get it over the bar. I found a weight lifters belt that I can make two mini fenders from. Ill just dye them to...

    Small pony sadles

    Thanks All! I knew someone had been through this before. This is a very pretty little saddle that she could be in for awhile. I don't want to cut or mark up the fenders, so Ill just replace them with a 2" belt. That would let me pull them up all the way to the saddle skirt if need be. And as...
