With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I thought I should attempt to explain the meaning of the holiday to all the barn kids. When I finished telling them about The Indians, Plymouth Rock and the big feast. I told them to think about it for the day and in the morning I wanted to know what...

My new barn stall walls now are starting to look like crime scene photos right out of CSI. Between the girls that like to lean back right up and smush the poop against the wall, the broken unbilical cord splatter, the rubbing...they are a mess. Stalls are wood....and I've tried all out scrubbing...

Rain here has been horrible and the dang mosquitos are out in full force. Within minutes of being out on grass horses faces are covered with the little beggers. How long do you wait till you put fly masks on mares w/babies. Im so afraid babies being babies will get hoof caught. Ive tried...

I've never been a cat person....I love kittens and cats but dogs and horses have always been first loves. I have a friend who thinks we need a barn cat. He has kittens that's are all neutered/spayed and is looking for homes for them. I know barn cats are common but the only 2 cats I've ever had...

Has anyone ever mentioned that a miniature mare must be in full heat in order to get a reliable culture? I own the mares and the stallion but just wanted to culture prior to breeding this year as I did have 1 mare abort last year and just want a clean bill of health prior to breeding this...

Ive seen manes on both sides at shows...doesnt seem like there is any particular rule of thumb. Do you all just pick the side that it naturally falls on? Unfortunatly Cams neck IMO looks better on the side that the mane falls on and I would rather train it to fall on the other side to show his...

I did wait longer than most of you would to wean ( he's almost eight mos. ) but Mom was still looking great, actually better than she looked prior to being preggo and I was sort of hoping he would wean himself and the fact that he's our first...

I will be taking Cam on his first "off property" outing next Sunday and am not sure how I should handle the trip. He is not even 90% perfect in standing tied...still a bit of a fuss with an occasional sqirming and acting like he's going to collapse or rear. He's fine being led...just doesnt like...

Just came across this and thought it was pretty darn impressive driving.I happen to love driving but even those who dont might like to see this. The sharp turns and control of the horses by the driver is amazing. Enjoy http://www.youtube.c...h?v=adk8NFu-PFo
