I know there has over time been discussion of clippers here; I have been asked for a recommendation of what are considered good 'starter' clippers, capable of doing a 'whole' horse at a time, but light, effective, and user-friendly. I have Double K's, and have had Laubes in the past. but it's...

The thread on "Under the Dome" prompted me to ask who may be/have been, watching such mini series as: "Falling Skies" --I like it a lot, because I like certain kinds of sci-fi, and think this is pretty well-scripted and acted: "The Bridge" on FX--very adult and sometimes gory...but I look...

It has been announced that Pacific Carriage is going out of business; Bill Schuil is retiring. As I recall, the announcement said that they will 'use up' what they have on hand to build a few more vehicles, and I *think*, will have some parts available. Pacific built the 'Smart Cart' for...

...on how to deal with changing ISP? I have only ever had dial-up service for the past 14 years; FINALLY, a higher speed service is available where I live, via the landline phone service. After considering it from all angles, I decided to try a minimal 'bundle'(only two services in the...

I am being urged to get a Mac computer by my son, a Ph.D. who is also very 'computer-knowledgable'. A good friend who uses computers in her work also recently went over to a Mac on the advice of an IT tech we both know(he is the one I got my wonderful Dobie from; his job is as an IT at at high...

Looks like I need new tires (would also consider new wheels) for my 'genuine' Frontier EE pipe cart. Since Frontier is out of business, does anyone know where replacements might be available? Mine has the 5/8" axle and 5" hubs. I don't want solid inserts. Thanks for any input! Margo

I was quite saddened to hear that Phyllis Diller had died(at the age of 95!) She did her last show...in Vegas, I believe...at the age of 84. We LOVED Phyllis Diller; would be SURE to watch any show that featured her, back in the day. She was genuinely hilarious, never off-color(at least, never...

I recently agreed to re-home a 7 YO red Doberman; a beloved pet, but in a busy young growing family who realized they were too 'on the go' to give her the attention she needs and craves. "Dayna" is a 'perfect' dog for me; loyal, loving, obedient, doesn't challenge the fences, gets along fine w/...

I am asking for your knowledgeable experiences and/or considered opinions(good OR bad!), about the use of 'invisible fencing' for dog containment purposes. I have full perimeter fencing on most of my 10 acres, BUT, it is standard field net wire field fencing, two strands of barbLESS wire...

...for those who might be interested and didn't already know about it---Channel 404 on DISH is HRTV. Basically a horse-racing channel, BUT...during 'off' hours, some pretty interesting 'other' programming featuring horses/horse pursuits. Some 'clinicians' with actual knowledge, like Al Dunning...

It worries me, watching the news showing the widespread fires in Texas...sure would appreciate hearing any news from anyone who knows what is actually happening 'on the ground' there! SO much is at stake...property, but most importantly, LIVES, of people AND their horses and other animals...

Did anyone else watch the documentary film shown on Oprah's network tonight, entitled "Serving Life"? Shot last year at Louisiana's infamous Angola prison, it is about how some of the 'worst of the worst', inmate volunteers, care for dying fellow inmates in a Hospice setting within the prison...

I have a 6 lb., older Maltese(spayed female.) I keep her clipped, doing it myself...she is about 1 1/4" coat length right now, having grown out a bit since I last clipped her(I use an 8 1/2 blade, and go with the direction of hair growth...don't care if it looks 'professional',but I have a good...

I'd like to suggest that anyone interested, take a look at the websites of a different kind of horse feed that I recently read about on a different but horse-oriented forum. I was intrigued, so went to the feed website - www.thrivefeed.com/Landing.html - (click on the various subjects on the...

..in the parade to the post---the big Paint "pony" horse that had an "indian" bridle on. Only a cord or line through the mouth, crossed under its lower jaw, it appeared..NO headstall, nothing else. I was impressed;betting that is one SOLID AS A ROCK ole horse. That's the kind I'd always love to...
