Hi Everybody, I was wondering if you had a recommendation for a supplier/vendor of fly masks that actually FIT miniature horses? I ordered some Kensington Miniature Horse Fly Masks from Horse.com and couldn't believe what I got! The 'eyes' were as far apart as a regular horse mask, yet the...

Hey friends, This is kind of fun, so I thought I'd share. To make a long story short, a reporter from King5 news here in Seattle wrote a little human-interest story (well, horse-interest!) story on my clydesdale, wanting to ride the wave of interest from the Bud/baby clydesdale ad that is so...

I thought this would be a neat thread to talk about how your recipes turned out that you tried from the ones others posted here (there was a thread for desserts as well as for stuffing/dressing). My husband and I spent the day with good friends who are vegetarians, so I made Alicia's dressing...

Sorry, I don't own him (yet) so I can't post his picture, but I just got a horse on care lease today who is such a beautiful dark chocolate color without one speck of white anywhere. The previous owner said his dam was a palomino and his sire was black. She said that he is registered black...

Hi chicken friends! I have a broody hen that I put some fertile eggs under three weeks ago tomorrow. Well, on the 5th day, momma returned from a break but sat in the wrong nest for I don't know how long, but I moved her to the eggs as soon as I noticed, but the eggs didn't feel warm to me at...

Since early February my husband and I have been trying to eat more healthy things. I have managed to drop about 32 pounds primarily by not eating things that are refined, mainly breads, pasta, white rice, sugar and bakery!! I also noticed I'm not buying butter much any more, imagine that: no...

After reading on the main board about people giving their horses cinnamon to help them drop some weight, I did some research and found that cinnamon as a supplement is recommended for insulin resistance in humans too! So I found some cinnamon in capsules and have been taking it for a little...

We will be traveling quite a bit this summer, and of course I can't miss even one day of my L'il Beginnings habit, as well as contact with the farmsitter and family members! So, I did a little research and there is a 'wireless broadband card' that you can get (with a subscription to their...

Hi friends! When I lived in Oregon we had the Horse Expo in Albany, which was a 3 day event with clinics and a product showcase and breed exhibits. I know in CA they have the Equine Affaire and other smilar events. Do we have anything like this in Washington? I've been scouring the internet...

I took this picture today of the namesakes of Red Pony Ranch taking a nap with their honorary not-red giant pony friend. They just love their naps together in the sun. In front are Maddie and Yakki, and on the other side of the fence are Bailey the clydesdale and laying down at his feet is...

This last June I lost my best buddy dog, Carly at the age of 11 due to heart failure. She was a great and funny girl, very calm and loving. She was not a typical aussie as she wasn't high energy and frankly, not the brightest bulb either. But she was my full-time companion and cuddler. I...

Hi! My husband and I, along with some other people, squished a whole bunch of apples and made cider yesterday. I took a ton of pictures and wrote about it on my blog if you are interested in seeing the process and the outcome! You can find it all on my blog: Jayne's blog of cider pressing...

Our king size mattress is about 15 years old and I am finding myself feeling kind of creaky when I get up in the morning. Now I know that is due to the fact that Iam fifteen years older too! But surely a new mattress would be nice? So I start looking at options on line and it truly is...

I started a blog about our life on our little farm about a week ago. After a while I thought, "what's the point if I don't share it?" so here it is! www.redponyranch.blogspot.com I don't expect many people to look at it; mainly it just gives me an opportunity to express how thankful I feel...

I am soo excited to meet all you and be a part of the fun! Did you see the weather forecast!? NICE!! I'll be getting there probably about 5pm on Friday and will leave on Sunday. I'll swing by Costco and pick up a dozen muffins and anything else I see that would be good on the community food...

Today was potato digging day, and while it was fun finding all those hidden treasures...here's a very special one that I found! Isn't he beautiful!? And the funny thing is that he must have felt very safe there on that zucchini leaf, as he didn't budge the whole time we were digging in the...

Today was a momentous day in our household. We got hooked up to high speed internet after years of only a dial up connection! Whoo hoo! I can actually see PICTURES now without waiting about 10 minutes for each one to load!! (I have NEVER been able to look at pictures on the section from here...

This is my little supervisor, Sophie. She inspects all the stalls I clean to make sure they're up to her exacting standards. She also supervises all the mixing of grain for dinner, my weeding the garden and gives me speeches when I just sit down in the shade to relax. I just love this little...

Today my sweetest dog was put peacefully to rest. Carly, an australian shepherd , was not typical of her breed in that she was fairly low energy and, to put it nicely, if she was a kid she'd have to ride the short bus. But she made up for it in absolutely sweetness. There was not a mean bone...

Yikes! The last couple of nights I woke up burning up and sweating and couldn't thrash the covers off of me fast enough! I think I sent a cat flying!! I'm 46 so I figured this was coming, but WOW. It is really dramatic, and I pride myself on being a calm, level headed person. It's like...
