I wanted to make some bracelets that I saw on my parents forum for Marine recruits. I bought a starter kit and LOTS of beads. My question is how do I know what gage wire to I use? I'm using 6mm crystals, and lettering. I've done a search on the internet but nothing I can find tells you what to...

My youngest son Christopher and with out a doubt the easiest one of the 3 to raise left for USMC boot camp in Parris island SC. this morning. My husband had to take him to his recuiter yesterday afternoon (Nice mothers day )where they took him to Tampa so he could catch the bus at 5 this...

We went to the first annual Southern Ride and Drive last week end at Gloria Austins Florida Carriage museum and resort in Weirsdale Fl. just south of Ocala. Those of you down here in Florida who have always wanted to go to the National Drive this is the next best thing. You drive in to...

I'm posting this for a friend. This past week-end we went to the Southern Ride and Drive, for those of you who missed it it was great fun what a beautiful place 400 ac. to drive on and GREAT clinicians (I'll post about that later). My friend has just gotten into driving she has a 15 yr. old...

I volunteer at our local show and the judge we had is also a miniature breed judge. He had asked me what I was doing with my minis now, I told him I had gotten the bug to drive, CDE type driving and how much I LOVED it. He told me that they had lost a lot of mini people to that type of driving...

My laptop is only 2 years old and the hard drive isnt even 1/2 full. I run defrag, clean out cookies, regular maintenance but my computer still runs slow. I have read that I may need a registry cleaner to speed it up. Does anyone know what I should do? Thanks, Kathy

What a week end! Its so fun to see everyone I have made friends with (over this first year for me). We arrived about 2:30 in the afternoon, unloaded, got Abby settled in and went off to get my packet and see if they had the Darby course set up. It was, and I walked it until my legs hurt. I saw...

This is my new driving outfit. I bought the hat from Hats off Boutique at the National drive she had it on clearance 50% off. I've always wanted one from her she has such beautiful ones. And of course I didnt have a jacket to match, she had the matching jacket but it was way out of my price...

My JRT Rocky is at the vets. She vomited yesterday at 5 A.M. I didnt think much about it she always has her nose in something in the back yard (which is why she isn't allowed to go out to the barn) she will vomit once or twice and then be fine. She ate breakfast and was fine until afternoon she...

We are going to the ND in Ky. next week. When they brought down my new mini last week from SC they had a problem finding gas in Ga. We are driving on I-75 any of you that live in Ga. by I-75 having any problems getting gas? Kathy

I have my second ADT this weekend and I volunteered to do what ever they needed, they have asked me to scribe the dressage after I'm done with my stuff. I've never done it before. Is there anything I need to know that will help me do a good job? Kathy

Karen saw my post on trying to find a driving horse and told me about a friends mini that was for sale. That one wouldnt work for me but Karen had one that would. I can't thank her enough for all her patience with me, I was very nervous buying a horse I have never seen in the flesh. She gave me...

If you were looking for a driving horse for CDE's and that type of driving, what type of conformation would you be looking for. How important is their behavior and size. Thanks, Kathy

They all have been adopted. The first day was Tues. about 25 to 35 found homes that day. A load of about 15 on Wed. and the rest today from what I was told. My friend got 2 of the quieter ones. A lot of them had not been handled at all. They figured if you got a filly or mare she was probably...

I woke up Sat. morning with what felt like plugged ears. The left one was worse than the right. I didnt think anything of it. Yesterday it got worse. I can't hardly hear out of my left ear. I bought the ear wax removal kit that didnt help. I have no pain. I havent had a cold or flown on an...

When we are at home I can't seem to get much impulsion from Abby. When I go into the woods or somewhere new I can get a nice strong trot,(not unusual I know) but not at home, I know because its all familiar to her but how do I get a nice working trot, without using the whip all the time? Or...

Abby coliced again yesterday. Before it was in June. And before it was in June of 2006 and a few times after. After checking everything ( No sand, no feed change) the only common factor is she has been in her heat cycle. She never coliced when she was in foal with Shelby. I have read a little...

I volunteer at our local horse club. We run pleasure shows and speed shows. I know zip about speed but they always need help so I help where I can. The people who are supposed to know the rules were told last night by a person that we were not supposed to DQ her for crossing back over the timer...

I need to order a new whip I've decided on the ultralite because the other ones for minis the shafts are not long enough. I measured like they said to from my hand to the saddle is 60 in. On their site the largest mini is 54 inches, they will make it any size you want, does 60 in. for the shaft...

Abby has had stifle issues since she was in foal with Shelby. I did not breed her, she was in foal when I bought her so needless to say no more babies for her. I have owned her almost 3 years. She has only locked once. I have had the vet look at her he told me shes not bad enough to do anything...
