    Hello all, I need ideas for stallion contracts. I have a friend who wants to use my stallion to breed to her mares. He would go to her farm for the season. How much do I ask? Who is responsible if my stallion gets hurt? What happens if her mare gets hurt? Live foal garentees? He is...

    Cichad killers(look like wasps)

    Around the barn yards are dry lots with a lot of sandy soil. For the past three years we have these wasp like cicada killers. They are huge and scarey looking and buzz around, but they are peaceful and really are not a problem. But they do make me nervous because of their looks. I am afraid that...

    GIANT wasps in dry lot!!!

    My main barn yards are dry lots. The horses have pasture but I do not let them on it all day long. In my stallion pen, there are these GIANT wasp like flying critters. They burrow in the ground making a mound of sandy soil with a hole(entrance I suppose) in it. They do not seem agressive and...

    ooops! Silly me!

    I have had the same water trough heaters for many years. Late last spring, I bought a new one as a spare just in case, since the others were getting old. Rarely do the heaters ever trip the circuit breaker, maybe if there is a wild windy rain storm but hardly ever. During the second blizzard...
