    ROKU... do you?

    I've not been able to find them yet, if you can....but there are educational programs on HULU, and you can get alot of the older Nat Geo stuff and some Scifi stuff too, like Dead Zone, Firefly etc on Netflix. Some Discovery stuff used to be up there too, haven't checked in awhile but like Dirty...

    overchecks and grass snatching ponies

    Ok, remembering that I'm not a show person, (not sure if they're required or not) just a pleasure driver, I generally don't use them at all. So tell me if they would be useful with a pony trying to grab grass (to the point of becoming annoying) or would it have to be so tight that it would be...

    Building my own cart

    Not that I have a clue about building carts, but I do like reading about those who make their own just because I find construction fascinating. Maybe some else knows, but I wouldn't think too tall would be an issue, it's better to be high in some cases. For example, I know in drafts too SHORT...

    What do you take to get rid of your head ache fast?

    Goody's is aspirin and acetaminophen (sp? generic for Tylenol) and I believe a bit of caffeine as well, it's a powdered version of Excedrin if I'm not mistaken. I'd be careful doubling up as that can put stress on liver and kidney's, Also be very aware that other products, like Goody's contain...

    Calling All Aussie Lovers

    I have 2, both do agility when 'mom' has the money & time to go, one works stock, the other plots to rule the world, lol. They LOVE hiking and exploring and are great dogs. I love the breed and would love another but my hubby is set on getting a Malinois as our next pup. My pretty girl this...

    Clip or shed in Texas?

    It's warm enough for the snakes here along the gulf coast, I almost stepped on one after feeding my guys yesterday afternoon. I was tripping over 12 dogs and 6 cats and there sat the snake on the path to the barn.... When ya'll talk about doing the neck are you talking about like a minimal...

    How many driving horses do we have here now?

    It's been a long time since I've checked in here, but my two little guys are basically driving now. I mostly just ground drive them because I feel they're still a bit young for any kind of load for any length of time, but I have put them on the cart for a few minutes at a time, on flat hard...

    Girth Shopping

    Well I don't know which ones to buy for a mini but since no one has answered you I'll give it a try. I'm assuming English girth because you said leather but clarify me if I'm wrong. I'm not at all wild about the nylon with fleece types, the fleece tends to roll easily on my big horses and I...

    Sheltie with grass allergy

    I don't know if it's the same for dogs but with my own grass allergy it's a very specific grass. Hatefully, it's bermuda grass that gets me, which is what I have a pasture full of and is nearly the only quality hay that I can get. It's not just a nasal 'spring' allergy either, it's a contact...

    Need ideas for foster dog

    I just remembered a very good article I ran across and had book marked, one that might help with the difference between a dog that just loves to chase vs one that will kill, and how to recognize it. Even though it's about flyball dogs, it once helped me with my herding and agility dogs. I hope...

    Today (Weds, Aug. 1) is CHICK-FIL-A Day

    I'm still finding this ironic. Did anyone crying freedom of speech even look up the Eat More lawsuits? Seriously this company has been attacking every single person/company who uses the words Eat More (not spelled like their 'Eat Mor Chiken' ads) Look up Eat More Kale. At least this man is...

    Today (Weds, Aug. 1) is CHICK-FIL-A Day

    Just one word comes to mind. Ironic. lol, look up the Eat More lawsuits. FWIW, I don't even like Chick Fil A's food.

    Need ideas for foster dog

    She may never be ok with them. She's responding to a prey drive. Cats have a strong tendency to run when scared and then that triggers the chase drive. If she's already biting them it's going to be extremely hard if not nearly impossible to stop her. If she's just chasing and extremely...

    The Dog Survey!

    The Dog Survey 1. How many dogs have you owned in your lifetime? hmm, it would honestly take me days to remember and talking to my dad multiple times. I've always had multiple dogs. Even when I was little and if you count the whole families dogs, well that's just dang near impossible. My dad...

    Horizontal crack/hole in hoof wall...

    yup, abscesses cause these, as well as trauma to the cornet but it was more likely to be an abscess. Usually with one that big, you'd have noticed the abscess but it would have been at least several weeks ago. I had one horse take 2 years to grow it out completely so it could have been as long...

    COLT in Trouble...Please help...

    I agree, get him to a vet. Nothing else I could say hasn't already been said, but dunking his whole face in water is nothing I've ever seen a horse do on purpose. ok, guys, just a reality check here. We don't know anything for sure. Weight is often miscalculated, 60lbs does seem awfully small...

    Anhydrosis

    lol, today's the day for mental images then, lol. I was thinking maybe you could water down the eucerin, that's what my stepmom does for her face 'cream' she just adds a little water to it. OH and I was forgetting but a pharmacist had once told her that they use Eucerin as the base for many of...

    Think Before You Post - Three words that get used too much

    I'm sorry, I truly apologize, I think your words are great! I'm just giggling my head off over this one, lol. Not about what you said, It is true, it's a great thing to do when speaking of disagreements, it does take the 'blame' out of the sentence. But I'm giggling because I now have this...
