    Carriage Driving/ADS turnouts

    Here is Toby with a Houghton (sp?) cart with wood wheels without the boot. As for his harness, I really don't know who made the original, but it has so many different pieces on it now that it's a mute point. I do know the breastcollar he's wearing in the picture is a Smucker's. Toby is an...

    Driving Question

    You're correct Al, we have clevis pins as well (had to do a search on the internet to find out what they are), but that would be better referred to as the thingie the cotter pins go on the end of to hold it. (And yes, I know cotter pins are used for more than just clevis pins ) I do actually...

    Driving Question

    Well thank you Al. I have to admit though that I just had a feeling you would be reading, so I asked my husband what that ring thingie with the pin dealie going through it for attaching tractor equipment is called. I personally see nothing wrong with the word thingie... don't know why so many...

    Driving Question

    The best thing I have found for this purpose is the lynch pin. You can get them at Tractor Supply or probably any hardware store (definitely any farm equipment supply store) for under $1.00 a pair. It comes off easily when you need it to, but will not come off on its own. I hate the leather...

    Hey, Dr. Pam!

    Leia, thanks for the all the kind words. I was hoping we would at least look like we kinda knew what we were doing. The nice thing about having a lot of pics to choose from is that you can choose which ones to show. lol The other pics show all too well what I need to work on. : You are more...

    Hey, Dr. Pam!

    Sunrise Ridge was a blast! If I had more time and patience, I'd figure out how to get pics to a server I can download from, but I don't so here's a link: http://www.sendpix.com/albums/07041106/n2grvwi1rk/ You made my day Al by saying my horse was experienced. :bgrin He's just 4 this year...

    ? on hot water heater size for wash stall

    Lol Al. We thought about the on demand heater as well, but have heard so many mixed reviews that we thought we'd go with a traditional heater. Unfortunately, we don't know anyone who has one we could check out. Have you ever used one Al?

    ? on hot water heater size for wash stall

    We're in the process of building a new barn and I'm curious as to what size hot water heater I may need. How many gallons do you have and do you find it large enough for your needs? Thanks so much!

    Is my thinking upside down

    I have a 'true' grey stallion. I use the term true grey with many mini people just so they aren't confused with silver dapple since there does seem to be so much confusion there. I personally refer to him a black based grey. He was born black and has slowly turned grey over the years to where he...

    Celebrations Patent Pending, 30" National Top Ten in Halter and producer of multiple Top Ten horses and National Champion. This is a very special little horse to me. SRM Patented Barakah, son of Patent, at Nationals last year as a yearling. I like this horse more and more as he's maturing.

    Puchasing at the World Sale

    In order for the horse to be let onto the show grounds, the owner must show a current negative Coggins and current health papers. So to answer your question, that's already taken care of for you.
