Depends on what you want. I have a horse in full training at a BNT barn. I do nothing but write a check once a month and ride once a week. I don't get my horse ready and I don't put him away after a...

True, but in this area, lots of people get bulk green sawdust from sawmills. Most of the sawmills are Amish run and they know what can happen from Black Walnut shavings. The biggest mill I use never...

The horses will be fine. The big question is whether you will be. If it were me, I'd haul 'em myself but I would have another driver so the trip would be non-stop- too much trouble to find overnight...

Congrats! I thought only pro shots of "Excellent" cows made the cover of Hoard's.

I love the B&W picture of the Jersey on your website. So which picture will be on the cover???

Try calling your local Cooperative Extension. Around here, there are cost share programs for various projects (for cattle farmers mostly) that involve use of geotextile fabric. They should know...

I just put my outside-stored round bales on the ground- no feeder. They're somewhere in the 1000# range. My three 2-year olds will eat one in a week. I have two older mares in another paddock-...

Black locusts posts are fine, we used them a lot in NY with no problems ('cept for nailing into the #$%^& things). And not that you'd want to use Black Walnut for posts, but it's not a killer. If...

I'm no expert by any means, but I once had to inseminate one of my mares with nothing but some simple directions, a glove, pipette and lube from the stallion owner. The vet tech friend I got to help...

For high tensile wire I use these-http://www.rammfence.com/fence/products.php?c=53&p=221&acc=true with the longer similar type unsulators to wrap around corners. For rope I like...

Check the insulation in your stove. We had a mouse crawl in the back of the stove and die. We never realized it until one day when we were cooking chicken. Neither of us could eat chicken for...

I had Electrobraid on my old farm and loved it. I bought it at cheap at the Electrobraid booth one of the first years they held Equitana in Louisville. I watched a weanling bounce off the stuff...

I agree when I see someone less fortunate, but honestly, is it really any more expensive to buy a shirt or jeans that actually fit? I shop at Goodwill, and it's the same price for a pair of pants...

The idea isn't to be cruel, it's to get the mom to think about the consequences of her actions. I'm very concerned about trust issues. This is a very sweet child who has been brought up to love...

I figure 150-175 square bales (50-60#) per year per horse that doesn't have access to much pasture, and about 100 squares, or the equivalent in rounds, for the pasture rats. Most of my critters are...

Many of my horses get no grain for most of the year. They're mature horses with no special needs, and they don't do any work. They get pasture and mixed grass roundbales when pasture is lacking. The...

I control the hair with a broom. It's pretty easy with smooth surface floors (tile and laminate), but it's really amazing how much hair a couple of 25# dogs can shed in a day or two.

Neither parent is truly a bad person. The Dad drinks too much (the reason for the divorce), and Mom, well, I just don't know what's going on but she needs to grow up and act like a responsible...

Last week my friends 6yo kid, who I always refer to as my niece, stopped over with her dad. I've brainwashed this child from the beginning to love horses, and it worked. DH asked her why not go pet...

"Where is it at?" seriously annoys me, and "U R" makes me crazy, but the word I hate the most is "disrespected". It may be in the dictionary, but nothing sounds more ignorant to me than "He...

So how much does a US$ buy? A bag of rice or two? I was googling and found that rice is now price controlled, but what is the cost? What about toiletry things like toothbrushes that are lightweight...

Now I'm curious. What country are these adorable kids in? I'm basically broke, but I might be able to scrape up money for postage. I don't have children, but I'm sure I could get some nice but...

I've always been a fat kid, but when I go to my local Wal-mart I swear I'm one of the thinnest people there! At least I keep my fat covered. Some people have no shame. As a friend of mine likes to...

Definitely true!

But, if you're not actively involved, that's sometimes easier said than done.

I have several here that could use work, but they're not beginner mounts. I'd love to have...

A lot of people would say that the care I give my horses is "mediocre". They don't get the most expensive anything. They don't get yearly "wellness" check-ups (I have several that haven't seen a vet...

From what I've been told, if you don't lean forward on the horses with extreme front movement, you'll slide off! The hunchback look, I think, is just bad posture associated with that forward lean. ...
