My daughter saw the horse drawings she did for me and would love to have one of her dogs... so I'd love to contact her if anyone can help.

This was yesterday. I have no idea how she did it. Nothing has changed in the pastures for 13 years. The barn does have a stone wall though---it's be tricky, but maybe that's how she did it. Anyway--doc stitched her up and all is well except she keeps scratching it on stuff. She got her fly...

Facts: Mazie, age 5, was diagnosed with laminitis by my farrier. I trust my farrier--he's amazing; he got Rosie through her laminitis years ago with flying colors (spring grass). Rosie is a full sister to Mazie, by the way. She's sound as can be. I know there are different opinions on this...

I'm a grandma now to the most beautiful, most awesome girl ever. She's 5 months old. Anyway--I will be training Chloe and Gypsy to be lead-line mares for Jessie and other future grandchildren. I assumed a saddle was the best way to go, but one whom I trust suggested using a bareback pad to...

Mazie--age 4. She's had more trouble with heat cycles than any of my other mares. Her urine runs between her back legs and I need to keep watch to keep her clean. No biggie. I walked/worked her last night and she was fine. This morning she was covered in shavings and off. She's eaten all...

Shots were yesterday. Rabies, 3-way and WN were in the same shot. Last year I separated them. Last year Tucker had a high fever five days after the shots. Vet said reaction to WN. This year, I again gave them all Banamine in the morning. Gypsy needed floating so was sedated with a pain med...

Mazie is three and I noticed she came into heat last month. She pees a lot and I noticed she had crusted pee between her legs--upper thighs from dribbling. I checked again today and washed her all up again. I even trimmed the hair length a bit to help keep her clean. I also braided her...

deleted--sorry.

It's for my son and daughter-in-law. They have about six quilts by me already (Justin has at least four from living with me and Jenny has two), but they didn't have one that would cover the bed. I asked her if she'd like one, and she said yes! So while we were searching through patterns, I...

I added them to the diet recently just to give my horses some variety--started maybe 6 weeks ago. They only get 2-3 of my palm full twice a day--not much. Less than 1/4 lb each time. So yesterday I took Mazie out and she was wired. I lunged her a bit and she settled fine. Today I took...

In another post asking about bedding, many said they use paper shavings. That stuck in my head. Today at school, I saw a bag full of paper from the shredder, so I asked if I could have it. They were most agreeable to me taking it and said there's lots more if I want it. So I spread it in...

Which was wonderful--I needed to get a feel for the Republican candidates and what they stand for; I needed to know what the leader of the pack has to say about issues. Debates always have wasted time in words that don't help, are repeated... but overall, I learned enough to know what's up. I...

I had this pattern in mind, but I don't need another quilt and the ones I have aren't selling, but I still wanted to make it. Then I thought of Aaron, Rachel's most incredible beau. I asked her if it was okay and she said "yeah, he's not going anywhere." They've been together over a year...

My playground--a harvested soybean field. Mazie Our place from the field--north side. more below...

It's water in the barn!!!!!! Since 2001 I have carried water from the hose at the back of the house--to the big ole barn--and the horses are at the farthest end. In the winter, I carry it from the bath tub. Since 2005, with 5-7 minis, it's been 20-30 gal a day on average. I have two 6...

I went out for chores this morning and now it's Rosie who doesn't want to leave her stall and she's not eating all her TC30. Oh no. She ate all her hay, had tons of poops and drank a good amount of her water. From the way she was standing and her refusal to move, made me think laminitis, but...

Facts: Sunday morning Tucker didn't eat his tbsp of TC30. He didn't seem quite himself--didn't want to leave his stall. Once out he didn't want to eat. I checked his temp. 101.8. Gut sounds normal, resp rate normal. Hooves are cold. I called the vet and she said to give Banamine--I did...

Oh goodness... these were popular on the quilting forum. I'm preparing for a November craft show, and I might have to stop posting photos of my stuff, or it will all sell before I ever get to the show. These are 18.5" square. I thought those intersted in quilts would enjoy seeing them. I...

This one is kind of nice Just for fun-they love playing on the bridge

We did two shows this year, one at 11 and one at 2:00. It was over 90 degrees. The horses were awesome. The residents were thrilled. My son and his wife came, my daughter was here, and my husband took the day off from work to lend a hand. Cheri is my horse buddy. We've put a lot of time and...
