Don't worry about it. We've had a nozzle cap in ours for 2 years. Worst thing that can happen is that it plugs intake to fuel filter, which is unlikely.

If you must get it out, drain the tank...

Ditto ^ 4. Boarding alone does not make money. Hell, you can ALMOST generalize that ANYTHING to do with horses doesn't make money.

Victoria and her whole family are great - and she takes awesome pix!!

Georgetown, KY. Q.E.D.

I second the "furry yaks" comment, ours are 7 mos - 10 mos. They were handled daily from the day they were born. They've now moved to our young horse facility, where they just hang out with the...

These are lighter than draft X (mostly TB's) which I'd eyeball at 400 - 450 pounds. Agree on the ivermectin dosage, I hit them with 500 pounds each. Problem is, in another month I'm giving...

All onroad diesel (the stuff you buy at the gas pump) is ULSD (ultra low sulfur diesel) starting in 2010 by EPA mandate. That means it has less than 15 ppm sulfur in it, so that new tailpipe...

I'm worming the babies, and as usual I worry about getting the dosage right. I'm pretty good estimating mature horses, but babies are a totally different issue. Do the formulas (using heartgirth...

Phenotype - conformation, especially hip and neck. Straight limbs, especially important to have good size and shape to feet.

You want an athlete; if you can, watch them at free play in a...

Right now, footing is absolutely perfect. We've had just enough rain (we haven't had the torrential stuff the east coast is enduring) to make the turf firm but giving and start the grass growing...

Excellent post. Very much appreciated, and the fact that both your ID and your descriptions make it anon are very appropriate.

Working students are wonderful, and we appreciate them very much. ...

Maturation and breed are the important factors. TB's, TWH, and AQHA's are typically broken at 18 months, and I don't see any major issues from it. All of my homebred AQHA's were broken at 18 months...

We break as 3 year olds, but a very professional contact advises 2 year old and then turn out; we're reconsidering.

We start jumping as late 3 year olds (fall), poles, 12", etc. Depending on...

Good advice, esp re: not leaving halters on, repetitive daily putting on/off, use of butt ropes.

Almost had a disaster many years ago when I left a halter on a week old foal. He scratched his...

The "Leading Sires - Eventing" list linked above is NOT by USEA, it's by the USEF; the rankings are by USEF points, from Novice through Advanced (not presently weighted) and the selection of sires...

We've been a regular at MJ for almost 10 years, routinely taking our young guys for their first outings at Intermediate, CIC**, Advanced, and/or CIC***. We've had great times and tough times - Megan...

I believe CW advertised on CL not too long ago and posted $$ and benefits.

2x4 upside the head works wonders.

I don't turn at all (lazy, just want to get rid of it). Takes about a year to be "dirt" instead of "crap and shavings." Then the neighbors come haul it away.

Our 2009 Fabuleaux filly is a real sweetheart - she's the one out of the whole foal crop that we allowed the Pony Camp kids go into the stall and love on.

He does seem to throw a disproportionate...

Historically, N/BN tend to be great season openers, T a little tougher and P pretty rigorous.

Footing is fabulous, that's a 100 year turf out there which is fully equivalent to KHP or sometimes...

6 months (holding her, of course). Riding on her own balance at 18 months being led (and jumped her first ditch at that age; thought I'd killed my baby when I felt the pony collect and jump, I didn't...

All good points, but I'd like to emphasize the difference between a demand letter and a request for changes on issues you are concerned about.

A demand letter tells me what I must do. KMA.

If...

I've owned/participated in 3 different boarding barns over the last 30 years, and have had one demand letter. It actually was quite well thought out and logical, written by a major warmblood breeder...
