Guess I should of posted an intro instead of jumping right in. I'm in the Pacific Northwest not far from Tacoma. Grandma to three beautiful grandchildren who adore our two mini's Dreamer (the mom age 11) and Catcher (the daughter age 6) We also have a turtle/tortoise rescue and senior dog...

Hello and welcome, I'm new here also.

Paintponylvr there was a day I though white fencing was so darn pretty. However with googles map and satellite showing everyone, everyone else's business I tend to like things that blend in with their environment verses stand out. Our chicken pen, our tortoise pens, all are painted with an...

There are a several reasons for wanting the privacy. 1) One day we had the girls (Dreamer and Catcher) up in our front yard (which is equiv to about 3/4 acre) A neighbor from down the road slowed down and stopped and since my husband was out there said "I didn't know you had horses!" I don't...

We want to do the 6 ft wooden privacy fence around the property line. That's the reason for using the 2" x 10's. Your fence is very lovely. If it weren't for privacy issues I'd have one like yours.

We stay until all feed is finished to prevent one from eating hers and then the others.

We want to replace all our run down fencing and will be putting up a wooden privacy fence. Not the thin cheap boards but we're using 2" x 10"s (may go 2" x 12"s) We started buying boards that we're putting primer and finish coats on, just doing a dozen at a time. Why so thick of fence board...

The blood draw was just a thought to do a panel/work up to make sure all is ok with organ functions. It's just weird the younger one is doing fine but the momma is having trouble keeping weight on. I so do appreciate all the input. One question I had was where can one send in hay samples to...

Thank you both so much. I'll up their gain a little at a time starting tonight. Going to ask our vet if he is a certified equine dental vet or to refer me to one. They are not at all stocky. They are in the 31 and 32 inch range and not stocky nor are they refined. Since our areas is a...

I didn't think a cup and a half twice a day was either, what would you suggest for them? I was told by a Mini Breeder to use Senior feed. Their teeth are fairly good. Our farrier took a look and suggested that one have a dental due to a hook in the back. What brand and type of feed would...
