    Miniature Horse Websites

    Because I'm new to the mini world I love to see the facilities as well as the horses. Just love Marty's FARM TOUR. It's very interesting to see how barns, paddocks, etc are done.

    My dad is having open heart bypass surgery

    Kim, my prayer are with you and your family. My husband had a quadruple bypass 6 years ago - 90% blockage in three. Six weeks later he had another heart attack. Seems there was another blockage in the back that they later said probably caused the first heart attack, and they were able to...

    If you could change your home

    I miss my walk in pantry too. I would love to have a utility room close to the bedrooms. Why are the washer and dryer always the on the other side of the house from where the dirty clothes originate? Oh, and a huge front porch - would love to have that.

    Hog Fuel

    I first read about on this forum and I had never heard of it either - don't think anyone in this area has ever heard of it since I have ask everywhere I know to ask. It is a kind of mulch, mixed with sawdust in some cases, that is an excellent cover for muddy areas. This ice has left us with...

    Fun thread to pass the time on Cold Days

    My husband was in the Navy for 21 years and during that time I didn't really work outside the home. Moving every 2 1/2 to 3 years makes it hard to find employment because in most Navy towns the employers know you won't be there forever and don't want to invest the time in training knowing...

    Northwest Arkansas is covered in ice also. Looks like it may last another day as it's still coming down and temps are going to stay below freezing

    How do you break in a Carhart???

    I work at a boarding facility and get filthy every day. I wash my jacket at least twice a week and haven't had any shrinkage. I got it big so that when I have my many layers on I still have lots of room. Couldn't have made it this winter without that jacket, my muck boots, Under Armour and...

    Last update on Sallie Anne

    If someone had the time, the Parelli way would probably help so much. It could take lots and lots of groundwork for her to trust and respect a leader again. As Pat Parelli says "it takes the time it takes".

    How do you know your non-horsey partner is becoming a mini person?

    My husband is a motorcycle guy - no interest in horses whatsoever. When we retired to NW Arkansas I got my first ever horse. At 62, I thought that was one dream that was never going to happen, so this was a biggie for me. I started working where we board to help pay for my indulgence - he was...

    PARELLI Horsemanship

    We went to Little Rock this summer to see the Parelli's - it is awesome. With the new format should be even better. I'm working on Level 1 - ground work is done but I'm stuck on some riding things. Maybe they will have their mini's Barnum and Bailey there. They weren't in Little Rock, but...

    Removing blood from clothes...Peroxide????

    Also ERA detergent is great for blood. Dampen and put some on the spots and let it sit awhile, or soak in just enought water to keep it moist until you wash.

    40 years ago when I was a riding instuctor at a girls camp the camp director put bacon grease on cuts, etc. the horses might have. Worked quickly to heal and protect - had forgotten all about that.

    Ike Got us after all

    Rainbow Bridge Just this side of Heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food...

    Need Suggestions/Advice

    Thanks Is there any other signs I could look for to tell if she's pregnant till I can get her to the vet? I don't think she has been handled much before this. I sit with her while she grazes and she'll come over to check me and get a scratch every once in awhile. She hears us coming before...
