I used to tip my farrier when he did O So. He charges 35 dollars so it was easier just to give him 40 bucks and be done. Then I got Pippin. I figured he would charge me a little less per horse since I had 2 now. Maybe 30 a horse, but he still charges the 35 dollars per horse. It takes him just...

Just want to say thanks for the tip. My guy's aren't that hard to deworm with the syringe, but today I tried the sandwich tip and I have to say it was a lot easier. I didn't have to put them in their halters or anything. Just walked up to them with the sandwich and they both took them like...

I have pet misters that I run when it gets above 90 degrees. I actually got them for my birds, but they have come in handy for the boys too! I have some like this!Pet mister I don't know how they would work if you have humidity though?

Never thought about how slick they are. They pretty slick, I sometimes have a hard time getting them out of the bag. I will buy normal carrots and cut them from now on! Just a little update. Today I observed Pippin for most of the day. He eats, plays, drinks, and breaths fine. Only thing he is...

I had my first scare tonight. I went out and gave the boys a mini carrot, actually 2 of them each. I gave Pippin his, then gave O So his. Waited a few seconds and when I though Pippin was ready for his second one, I tried to give it to him. I bunch of slobber came out of his mouth with brown...

Do you have pics? I have a regular treadmill that I "use" as a clothes hanger, LOL. Thought about using it for O So in the winter, but wasn't sure how that would work out. I think if I were to use it, I would have hubby build sides for it, then just walk O So up on it and slowly get it to move...

I was reading another post and someone had mentioned a sealed milk jug with rocks in it as a good toy. That got me thinking, what have you or someone else you know, made toys out of? I made a toy out of Halloween plastic pumpkins. I put a treat down at the bottom then fill it with hay. The...

I have a lot of the same things alot of you have. Have to pee before going to sleep and before going somewhere. I too, don't like things on my plate touching, but I go a step further. I eat one thing at a time. Meaning I eat all of my potato, then I will eat my steak, then my green beans. I...

Thanks! It did help! Ok, took a few more pics out in the sun, 101 degree sun. Here are somewhat better pics. I do believe this is the knotweed they show in that link I gave. It has the little flowers, but mine are not as bloomed out as the one in the link. I think you can click on...

The reason I was asking was because I wanted to just leave it and let the boys it it while we are waiting for the new soil. Well, waiting for the funds for the new soil. LOL We have been "kind of" looking for free soil, but one has to be kind of picky on it. We know where a bunch of free dirt...

Thanks to LittleRebble asking what area I lived in, I thought about researching that in google! I came up with this, KnotWeed I believe that is what I have. Now I just need to find out if it is in the list of poisenis plants for horses! Thanks guys!! Update to this post, I looked at...

Thanks, that is what I was wondering, if I should kill it off first! I will spray it with round up before we get the top soil. To answer the other question, I live in the Sacramento area, CA.

Thanks you guy's!! I do try to spoi......l, I mean take good care of them!!

I have this plant/weed growing in my yard where my pool was. I was curious on what it is. Could it be poisonis(sp)? I am still trying to figure out what may be causing O So's bout with loose stool. I really think it is his teeth bothering him, but just want to rule out this plant as a possible...

Yah, I only own the small guys. Only time I get to mess with biggies is if I get to take care of one at the stables.

Yep, me too! O So has stepped on my flip flopped foot, but it didn't break the skin. Hurt like you know what, but only because of his weight. For a little horse he is pretty heavy when he walks on your feet! LOL Yah, maybe I was lucky too. I just try to be extra careful when I have my flip...

I gave the boys a bath the other day and loved how Pippin looked right after his bath. He is dry in the pic. I sure wish O So would shine like that! I think O So has the kind of coat that just doesn't get shiney. That's ok though, I love him anyway. Pippin My farrier thinks he is a dwarf...

LOL, yah, I saw him pooping from a distance, I got all excited and had to go check it out!! It is looking so much better!! I was so happy I gave him a hug. LOL

Pippin's has been like that ever since I got him. It really never changes. Except for when I gave that big dose of sand clear yesterday, it was a bit looser, you can see it in that first post with the poop pics.

Took some pics of his poo from this morning!! Looking a lot better. Again, first pic is O So's poo and the second is Pippin's. Pippin's is back to normal and O So is not to far behind. I tried to do a poop test and failed at it! LOL I only had a quart size baggie and I think I put to much poo...
