My BO mows the pastures with the horses still in it - the horses have never had a problem with it.

I've used both OHS and NI - my horse has been on NI for oh 9 years or so now. She gets one scoop twice a day. The thing I like most about the NI is that it's a wet crumble as opposed to the OHS,...

Well, I can tell you what I do, but it's not feasible for everyone. For me, it was getting the boxes away from all general human living space.

There is a "room" on the back of my house, that...

Every now and then I see those stories on the news about a cat in a nursing home who curls up with a person and it turns out that that person passes on - somehow, and they can't explain it, the cat...

I'm also guilty of getting up on the far side of the bed so as not to disturb the lounging kittehs. Even better is the great contortions your body comes up with (and resulting neck/back/joint pain...

I don't see it as "drugging them" (although I do also refer to it as 'nippin it up') - my cats LOVE it, roll all around and eat it...but none of them "pass out." In fact, they all go back to regular...

Good Lord, they are cute little buggers, aren't they? I'd take Rafe in less than a heartbeat, but at what point am I the crazy animal lady? Good luck!

Well, aren't you just the sweetest thing?!?! Bless your heart....

Geez...I rode and showed several western disciplines and this was NEVER a cue on any of the horses I rode (and gee, my trainer...

I've wondered about rain too - my mare has access to nice shelter, but why go in there when there's grass to chow down on?!

Today is day 3 of the muzzle. I was out yesterday and she seems fine....

I do almost all of my own. I do not do Rabies or Potomac (because technically here in Ohio the vet must give Rabies, and it's almost impossible to find a single dose PHF anymore). There were 2...

Thank you! I ran into this one online last night, but I am a little concerned about it. Since my mare has this on for most of the 12 hours she is out, I'd like to keep the muzzle on her padded,...

I am one of the ones who likes technology, and really loves my phone (iPhone). However, here lately I've been thinking of downsizing everything in life, phone included. Why do I need 24/7 access to...

Today was the first day I muzzled. My mare didn't flip out but she mostly stood there glaring at me. I did shove some grass through the hole, and she did try grazing multiple times. I came back 7...

I'm sorry I forgot to provide that information. She does get hay, but honestly not much. We do put out hay in their t/o sheds, but the grass is so green and yummy that they usually don't even look...

Background:
I have a very easy-keeper draft cross (18yo PerchxPaint) mare. I live in SW Ohio where we have insanely rich, thick spring grass - and the horses where I board right now go out for 12...

Amen and amen, LauraKY!

Love love love mine! It doesn't hold heat, which is great for me. But the best part I that I have a severe allergy to dust mites and they are unable to live in the latex foam. I will never go back...

Is there any way you can put them somewhere else?! I do the same thing, rotate my older shoes into barn shoes, and clean stalls in them. I too bring them home, but they stay in my garage, along...

I have my mare on Smartpak's SmartTLC (tendon, ligament, connective tissue) - it's specifically filed in their "anti-inflammatory" supplements. Back in December she bowed her left hind DDFT and SDFT...

I think this was my fourth year in a row going, and had a blast as always!

I too noticed not as many vendors, not as many food vendors, and the lines at the women's bathrooms were long the...

A lot of the ones I've seen have had "quite a lot of bounce for the ounce." LOL! Sally is hilarious!

I am just cracking up at the commentary! Anyone catch her cell phone going off?!?! She then came back on and apologized saying that she is in fact not in a barnyard. LOL!

My brother had a kitty with a severe heart issue - for the life of me I can't remember what it was. Anyway, it was diagnosed very early on and they were told to just offer palliative care as the...

I am so glad I re-read this thread! I've been faithfully following protocol until this year - life blew up and things kind of fell behind. Then my mare started having major eye drainage and itchies...

I have a PerchX!

My now 17yo Spotted Draft mare, Jetta. She's a PaintXPerch and I just LOFF her to pieces. I really, really, REALLY want to stop time because I just don't want to see her age...
