Im not sure if anyone here will have any input, if your anything like me in general, youve tried really really hard to make drylots for your minis. We got my son a riding horse over the winter (I sneak and ride him when my son isnt at the barn) and I currently have him boarded. Im planning to...

Most people probably remember seeing my beloved Domingo for sale on the sales forum, but most probably didnt know why. My two year old son was diagnosed with Autism earlier this year, and has appointments monday-friday with various developemental therapists, speech therapists, and occupational...

A few years ago I sold my "heart horse" who was the horse I really learned to ride on. I had a couple horses before her, but they either werent sound to ride, or one was totally unpredictable, would flip when you tried to mount, kick when you brushed it, etc. This horse was one who reinstilled...

Along with the hay shortage this year, there is a corn shortage too, and apperantly our feed prices are sky rocketing because of it. Even on pasture and alfalfa hay, every horse here requires grain. Even the bottom of the barrel cheap sweetfeed has jumped $3 in the past two weeks, first $2...

I wanted to give everyone a heads up about a deal I got at tractor supply today. Not sure if all stores will have it, but it is worth checking. I feed TNT chops to my horses through show season, and normally pay $16.99 per bag. They are chopped timothy/alfalfa' come in 40lb compressed bags...

I've never been one to have any pasture for my minis, everything was disked into drylots when we built the barn and pastures, as I was showing all of my horses, and terribly worried about founder and hay bellies. This summer grass started coming up in the drylots, and other that spraying with...

I wanted to share my excitement. Today was my yearling stallions first show. It was a triple judged show, with one judge being a national judge. In Jax's yearling class he took a first (under the national judge) and two seconds, in the Junior Champion class he went reserve, he was done by the...

I have a six year old who is interested in showing, and we're going to let her try it out this year, since I'll have another gelding on the show string. She doesnt have a lot of experience with horses, her older sister shows another of my horses in youth classes and she comes to shows, but...

I was wondering what you prefered, the liquid injection dormosedan given IM or orally, or the dormosedan gel given orally? How long for onset of each, and does one tend to last longer? I know IV works the fastest, but Im not comfortable giving IV meds. I try to stick to doing oral meds as...

I admit it, Im a hay snob. I generally feed only small squares of second and third cutting alfalfa or timothy hay, I mix it myself depending on the horses needs. I've always been afraid to feed round bales, associating them with moldy, bad hay. Over the years I have heard people on LB talk...

I was hoping that we could get some prayers and positive thoughts for my 18 month old son who has now been hospitalized for three days at childrens hospital. He is VERY VERY sick, but they are not 100% on the cause. He has rotavirus type symptoms, but was vaccinated against it as a small baby...

I have a horse who I got about a month ago, and since they, have been having a hard time getting to eat his hay. At his previous home, he wasnt on hay, only pasture. He'll occasionally nibble on his hay, but he's not eating anywhere near enough. He does clean up his pellets. We've already...

Does anyone know what types of laws would pertain to neighbors trespassing and tampering with livestock, such as opening gates to let them loose off of the property? Not an issue of horses getting out of insufficient fencing, my barn is completely fenced in, an these are horses in woven wire...

It's been a while since I've had a foal, and now we have a six month old weanling amhr/aspc colt. The last foals I raised, I fed equine junior, but hated the results, so decided against equine jr this time around. When reading the label, and weighing the feed out, the recommended amount of...

Can anyone tell me why the show secretary and the three judges were at the Garden State AMHR show on June 18, 2011. I had a horse out with a trainer and at the time, didnt think to ask which judge placed my horse how, and now I need to know. Someone mentioned to me that the show manager or...

Over the summer, we built a new barn and pastures, and brought all of my horses home (they were previously boarded). I dont live on the property, I actually live about a block away. My barn and pastures are on property adjacent to my parents house. Since moving them home, my non horsey mom...

I am currently offering loose minerals in each of my horses stalls, but being winter, Im currently turning my horses out all day, they only come in to eat dinner, stay in overnight, eat breakfast, and go right back out to the pasture. With them being out so much, I would prefer the minerals out...

I often buy chopped hay for my horses. I use the TNT chops, and do like them, but I am a bit upset that they recently went from $12 a bag in my area, to $19.99. Thats a $7 a bag increase. Right now while its winter, I haven't been feeding them, but during show season I use them so that I can...

With bringing the horses home finally, and starting to build a small herd, we finally decided we needed a "farm name" and I thought what the heck, might as well have a website too. I just started working on it. I decided since Im not breeding, and dont focus on selling horses, I would just...

Has anyone fed Purina Ultium Growth (different that the ultium competition) to their weanlings and yearlings? I have used Equine Jr. in the past, and was not thrilled with it. That leaves me with the options of Omelene 300, and Ultium Growth, and the main difference between the two is that...
