My dad always said the rumble strips on the side of the road were ghosts. Took me years to realize where the sound really came from! Funny how so many of these misconceptions were created by fathers!

I got married a few months ago and went to the MAC counter in the mall to have a trial run, I think it was a $50 product purchase to have them apply it there. I went in with the intention of seeing how they did my make-up then buying the products to do it myself, but found out that they have...

This looks like an Ozark harness, or at least very similar, which are great starter harnesses for both recreation and the showring. Just because it does not have a sliding backband and open tugs does not mean that it is a showring-only harness. It will be an excellet harness for you both to...

I have never seen it mentioned on here, so am thinking there is nothing on the market, but wanted to see if anyone knew of a daily supplement to prevent ulcers? I have one little girl who has chronic ulcers, we have been battling them for several years now and it seems like they will get...

I found this recipe a few months ago and made it twice in two weeks. It is delicious!!!

You could do away with the snap that is attaching the backstrap to the surcingle and just attach the bachstrap directly to that ring on the surcingle. That would get rid of an inch of length right there and the snap doesn't really have a purpose. It also looks like there is plenty of room to...

Before I got my Canon EOS Reble T1i I had a Nikon Coolpix and I loved it, it was a great little camera. A tip on the action shots; hold the shutter button half way down to focus before hand so that when you are ready to take the shot you can just push it the rest of the way and it will be almost...

Oh believe me I've done it! Plus you can just pay for one stall if they get along and can share. They both went a couple of years in a row, it was at TND that Leia helped me stick them together as a tandem, what fun! The pic in my avatar was taken at TND in 2010 when we got booted from the...

I started going in 2006 and last year was the first time I've had to miss it as I was out of town for a wedding. I am hoping to make it again this year. It is always a great time and very educational. I don't know if I will take my minis or my Welsh filly though.... Love all the fun I can have...

I saw the potato trick a few weeks ago and am dying to try it but I always leave the skins on so don't have much use for it. This video on corn is awesome though and works great! I am planning to try it on barbequed corn soon, don't see why it wouldn't work the same way.

The cervix has to be relaxed and open to allow the swab to get into the uterus. If she is not in heat then the cervix is clamped down and the swab cannot be passed. It's been several years since I've worked with an equine vet, but I believe this would be correct. This does not apply just to...

I have a Kutzmann, the seller called it the Smart Cart, but I don't think Kutzmann actually lists it this way. It has all of the features you are looking for and is reasonably priced compared to other carts with the same features. It has breaks, fenders, removable shafts, the option of solid or...

Horse Cents in Versailles has a great selection of halters. They have nylon halters (foal size I think) that fit my A size minis really well but would probably be too small for what you need, however they do have weanling sizes as well. They also have great leather halters that they make. They...

May I ask why the bit is under her jaw and not in her mouth?

What a wonderful production, definitely worth watching! I have always been fascinated by anatomy and loved doing dissections in school, so this was right up my ally. I found the ease with which the tendons snapped incredible and shocking and loved it when they inflated the lungs. I remember...

I have found that it can be a very hard habit to break once learned, so I prefer to just start them stopping the way I like. Maybe this isn't the case with all horses, it may have just been too ingrained in my few that I got that were trained that way. They just couldn't figure out what I was...

I have not read all of the responses, so forgive me if I am being repetitive. I love lunging and think it is a very valuable and often misused or underused tool. I never let my horses turn in on the circle, I find it disrespectful, although I know a lot of people see it as a sign of submission...

Currently she is out in the field with everyone else. They are in the front field most of the day where there is plenty of grass and not so much mud. They do have to go through the mud to get out there and get back to the barn though, and it has been really wet here for the last couple of weeks...

I currently have a mare that is struggling with a terrible case of chronic thrush. The poor girl is so sore she almost looks laminitic. It has been going on for over a year, apparently she was neglected when my fiancé's family bought her and try as they might, they have not been able to get it...

I'm so sorry to hear this Myrna, I hope that she makes a quick recovery and does not require surgery
