Here we go again with another hurricane churning up the east coast of Florida. I am in the area of Jacksonville further inland on the west side of the St. Johns river but bordered by a large creek and hoping and praying Dorian will stay on the projected track and not hit us directly. We were hit...

I need some advice about beet pulp pellets from those who use them. I have always used the shreds wet down but now they are difficult to chew for the old minis with missing teeth. When you soak the pellets, do they dissolve completely into a runny slurry or keep solid pieces that turn rubbery...

How can we get this forum going again? I miss seeing everyone's projects. My eyesight has slowed me down, but I am sewing on a quilt I might be able to share before too long. What is everyone up to lately?

I hope all in harm's way in Florida and So. Georgia will check in here. I am in No. Florida and hunkering down to ride out the storm, right now the forecast is the storm should have downgraded to a level 2 when it hits early Monday am. We were affected a year ago with hurricane Matthew, and it...

My oldest mare is 34 years old and wondered what that equals in human years. I found a calculator on line that suggests she is the equivalent of 100 years in human age. She is in pretty good shape structure wise blessed with good bones and joints, but poor teeth and doesn't shed well naturally...

I have a stash of quilting magazines from the 1980s that I offer for free for any of you quilters if you will pay for postage. I have 20 or so of "Patchwork Quilting", "Quilt World", "Decorating and Crafts", etc. They all have full size quilt patterns in them, are good for inspiration with...

Does anyone have knowledge about using aloe juice as a supplement during ulcer treatment? What would be the dosage for a miniature?

Is anyone watching the driving classes? Does anyone have an opinion of the chariot race classes? I did not watch the pinning of the class after the rounds were done so I missed what the judges liked. But I was concerned about what appeared to be a horse become lame after all that vigorous...

I received the contest prize today in the mail and I send many thank yous to Mary Lou for such a generous box of goodies! Above and beyond for sure. There was a beautiful lead rope, a super snazzy hoof pick almost too good to use, a charming little picture frame......... and........ a horse...

I will start with something happening here some years ago. The horses were very restless and I kept hearing hissing sounds. Went out and looked up to see a hot-air balloon passing overhead just inches above my trees! It just missed landing in my paddock and thankfully landed in the next door...

May I ask for some opinions from those using Pergolide on their minis versus only dosing Chasteberry?

I have a Cushings mare that I have been feeding Nutrena Safe Choice and she has always loved it, and eaten it heartily well wet down. Tonight she refused to eat it, kept trying to turn it out of her bowl, so I removed it and examined to find very tiny white round beads, or seeds or something...

I feel a little hesitant because I don't like to brag, but I am so happy! I needed some good news right now, so I am sharing my happy feeling.. A major newspaper here in North Florida holds a holiday short story contest each year, and the winner gets their story published with art work by...

Could I get some advice/opinions on the proper height of the shafts? All of my driving horses were 33" or shorter, long ago I was taught that the shafts should be adjusted so they were parallel to their body and not so forward that they extend past the horse. I keep seeing photos of shafts...

Does anyone on here watch wildlife cams, specifically eagle cams? Below is a link to one in Maryland that I have watched for years, and has given me a lot of pleasure. There are 3 eggs this year and close to beginning to hatch. Anyone else have a good working link to another...

This wall hanging I made several years ago is entirely hand made and hand quilted. The applique pieces were not backed, but a single layer pinned in place and sewn the basic way by using a needle to turn under the edges and hiding the stitches. Designed by me influenced by the Cotton Boll...

Does anyone else do gourd craft? I paint gourds I have grown and dried, here are a couple that I did not turn into bird houses, painted with images of my minis. I used metallic paint on the one on the right. I seal them with clear acrylic. Photo might be too small, might have to correct.
