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 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...

A few weeks ago my filly got some very minor scrapes on her lower legs. I cleaned them up and forgot about it until a few days ago when I noticed that she developed scratches on one hind pastern. So far she does not have any swelling from it, and is not lame, I've been able to continue working...

It was a beautiful weekend and for once I didn't have any plans for today, so I got to play with both of my girls for the first time since the Fall. My personal photographer (aka dad) was free as well and snapped some great photos. Getting to drive my girls brought a smile to my face, hope the...

My new pony cart arrived yesterday and I have been wanting to see how it would look with the outfit I had put together last year. Since we've had several discussions about turnout dos and don'ts I thought I would offer myself up for critique as a possible learning exercise. (Sorry she's not a...

After having my Mac for three years I finally got around to looking at the iweb program that came with it. It was very user friendly and allows you to easily make professional looking websites. My other site had not been updated in a few years and just looked so cluttered that I felt it was time...

I decided to have a nice Christmas ride on my 2 1/2 year old Welsh filly, Bella. I had gotten a new lens for my camera and had my dad come out and take a few pictures of us and just couldn't resist sharing this one. Merry Christmas to all of you who make LB so great!

I was out taking pictures of the snow yesterday and Locita was having a great time playing in it. If you remember I posted about her horrible trim job a few weeks ago, and at the time she was dead lame, could barely stand let alone run and play. Her feet have finally grown out enough that I can...

I had the farrier out today to trim my very overdue herd (bad me). This was only the fourth time we've used this farrier. The first time everything was fine, all of the horses looked good. Second time everyone was fine except for Locita, who has had hoof issues in the past. She was a little...

Today I went to my first schooling "show" with my little Locita. It was put on by the local driving club and held at one of the member's farm, which was absolutely beautiful. You could just come and drive the trails around the farm, or you could participate in the little "show" which consisted...

I have been asked to do a demo for the local riding for the handicapped program during their summer camp. They are having two week long camps back to back and I will be doing one demo for each camp with the minis. I have asked several time what they would like to see, but haven’t gotten much...

One of my minis has what I think is the beginning of lacing on her back. A few years ago she clipped out with one white line, and every year she gets a little more white. I noticed while clipping her last week that the area around the largest white spot was raised up, but I didn't think much of...

I have a driving event this weekend, it is not a show, but I want my girls to look good! I dyed my black mare's VERY sun bleached mane, tail, and forelock today, and though it still has a slight reddish tint, it looks soooo much better. I agonized over whether or not to re-clip her. Her summer...

I have been dying to clip for months, but this crazy weather just would not cooperate. I think it has finally turned the corner. It's been in the 80's for the last four days, and my fuzzy little yaks were misarable, so I bit the bullet and clipped them today! I love unwraping my babies every...

I have a set of Laube Speed Feed clippers, which I loved, but have been having issues with as of late. They quit holding a charge like they once did, so I bought new batteries. No luck there. Bought new blades, still no improvement. I used to be able to get them sharpened, but the man who did...

My friend decided that she wanted to come drive with me a few days ago. We went on Sunday, and she must be hooked, because she was brave enough to go again today, despite temps in the 30's and scattered snow showers. It has been such fun to be able to see someone else drive Suzy, I rarely have...

When I got home from a show yesterday around 12:30, my little Suzy was laying down out in the field. She did not pop up when she saw the trailer, which is unusual, so I went out to check on her. She did not get up when I came over, not even when the domninat horse in the heard came to see what...

I have an eight month old filly who is acting like she is in heat. This is the second time that I've noticed this. The timing is about right for for her to be coming in again if that is indeed what happened the first time. I noticed when working with her today that she was in a bad mood, not...

I already posted this on the Back Porch, but was told I might have some luck posting on here, so here goes... I have an 8 month old Welsh filly that I am going to be taking to a sport pony show in a few weeks. It offers several halter and inhand classes. I have never shown in halter classes of...

I have an 8 month old Welsh section B filly who I was planing to show hunters in a few years. Her breeder sent me a show bill for an up coming sport pony show that has several inhand/ halter classes that I would love to attend. However, I don't know the first thing about how Welsh are shown in...
