Hello everyone! I have a question I need some help with, I can't find my answer in any research, so I thought I'd seek help here if that's ok. My hay supplier called, and let me know hay would be ready to pick up today, and then let me know that he had sprayed it with a bit of Nitrogen to...

The last couple years, Spot has been having some severe issues with the flies and gnats. They bite in his ears, under his forelock, and his chest till he's bloody and raw. The vet said he's having an allergic reaction from the bites. Everyday I slather on this medicated lotion on the inside...

Is it common for resharpened clipper blades to dull much faster than than new blades? I had 9 blades cleaned and sharpened last spring, and had them all ready to go for clipping Spot when it warmed up enough. He was all cleaned up for just doing a head and neck clip on him tonight. Two of the...

Hello All! I don't post much, and have been more of a lurker. But I wanted to share some pictures of my baby boy with you, if it's ok? He's all grown up now, and turns 3 years old today! He has been such a little sweetheart, and the bond between he and I is extremely strong. He just loves...

I see so many of you doing wonderful art projects with cropping, cutting, and pasteing, I'm in awe of the talent that so many of you have. So...........I'm looking for a couple tips please! I started just a basic project for practice, and I wanted to add a cutout profile to the left hand...

Our main fence that we use for our haflinger and mini was iced over this weekend, and the only place they can get out for now, until we get more snow, is the grass pasture. It is covered with a good bit of snow, but the haffie can easily dig down to get at what grass is there. Neither have...

We made the decision a while ago, that we were getting out of minis. This new property that we moved to is just to hilly, not at all mini friendly, and we haven't been able to enjoy driving for quite some time. We are keeping one as a pet, but decided that we are moving on to haflingers, and...

Has anyone on here ever watched the life cycle of a monarch butterfly? Someone on another forum I frequent gave me the idea for this, and I went out an collected monarchs in the caterpillar stage from my own front yard. They live on milkweed plants, and as I understand, monarch populations are...

Can anyone end my husbands misery, and identify this plant please? We have several types of wild berries in our woods that he has been picking, but he hasn't been able to identify this one, and it's bugging the heck out of him!!! He said the plant is about 4' tall, and the bigger leaves are...

We were having a bbq out in the back yard today, and I just happened to catch sight of Spot standing by the fence. It just hit me that he really looked different, so I had to come and check out some pics. Even since last year, he's lost quite a bit of black on his legs and head. I went back...

I had a friend of mine call, who also has miniatures, and 3 minis in 2 weeks had been down with colic. They had the vet out on 2 emergancy calls, vet looked through some random bales, very well, and didn't see anything wrong, it's dry and soft. They did just get this load of grass hay in not...

Spot is 2 1/2 years old now, and I've slowly been working with him on some ground work in preperation for cart training next spring. We've been taking our time, doing some easy free lunging, and some getting him used to wearing a harness. Easy stuff, and mostly just to get him used to his word...

I have a 37" gelding who needs some weight, and I'd like to add in some oats to what he is currently getting. How much should I add in per day? He is currently getting soaked beet pulp and BOSS as well. Thank you!

I think my grosbeaks have been talking to Charlene's hummingbird! In all the years we've fed the birds, I have never seen a grosbeak eating grape jelly before! All of their seed feeders are full, but they have suddenly developed a taste for the orioles grape jelly. At first we thought maybe...

We're going to be doing some landscaping around the barn, adding fill to raise up some areas. We live on a hill, and there is no such thing as a flat surface around here. The biggest problem we need to resolve, is the footing right in front of the barn. The horses stand there throughout the...

I have been waiting since early spring to get this shot, and finally had the opportunity! I don't have a decent lens for distance yet, so getting shots at any distance is difficult! This afternoon, hubby and I were relaxing after working on the barn lights all morning, and I looked out the...

Had the camera outside snapping pics yesterday, and thought I'd snap a couple of little Miss Aurora! These are o' natural pics, ungroomed, and looking oh so cute! It's hard to get pics of her because she's always standing right next to me looking for some loving! Aurora is available for...

A friend shared this with me. I thought it was unbelievably awesome, and felt it had to be shared! Don't know if it's been posted before or not, if it has.........it's definately worth a second look! Click on link, and then scroll down to the close up of the eye. Scroll over the photo, and...

I clipped her this afternoon, and she stood like a trooper! I held her leadline while I clipped her neck and chest, and she stood perfect. The whole time hubby was on the roof of the barn with the loud drill, walking back and forth, drilling in screws. Didn't even bother her! When he was done...
