Hot or spooky is not something my friends and I have found w/ feeding our draft or light horses alfalfa. We also offer them free choice vits/mins. They're all on round bales and get supplemented w/...

Similar to aspen, my foals are born on pasture in their broodmare band and sometimes w/ my old gelding and previous youngsters. They range from the very large to small of things, drafts to ponies,...

I think he's adorable. He doesn't look terribly bad at all. Won't take much time to get him into shape. Keep us posted.

2 weeks, wow. I've had an older stallion (8yo) gelded and I did the same thing I mentioned above as I do w/ the younger ones. Right back out to pasture w/ buddies, mostly mares. I did ride him as...

I LOVE the pelleted bedding. It's so nice and feels like plush carpet, very easy to clean and lasts longer than straw or shavings. We use it or shavings under the straw for foaling, but that's the...

If I don't have any tools handy, I good jab w/ the elbow into their shoulder will typically get their attention and move them out of your space. And when turning you want to turn into him, not away...

Like others, mine have always went right back in where they came from, the pasture w/ their buddies. It's been a non issue, as they seem to know their limits, but do keep moving when in w/ others. ...

I definitely couldn't afford to board all of my horses (dozen.) I have my own little acreage here, but BF and I are looking at buying a larger acreage w/ outbuildings, shop/barn combo, pond,...

My previous vet told me they are less common in mares, but as mentioned, may or may not be there in either gender.

OMG, ROFL!!!!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

Cats, gotta love 'em and they're kinda like potato chips, you can't have just one! :D

Poor Puppy!! Jingling....

PSG, awww, now that was so sweet and innocent. Not to mention cute as heck!! :yes:

These are really cute.

No kidding, that was awful. I couldn't figure what the heck he was trying to accomplish, because she was getting jabbed for moving when asked and he never let her go forward, kept holding her back. ...

Oompaloompa, FUNNY!! :lol:

Ambrey's husband is like my mom. But her terms relate to dogs more than horses. Halters are often called collars and lead ropes are leashes. Lord help me if I used...

Same as the above two posters. Nice looking guy (only two years older than me, so not an "older guy" imho. :) Super nice facility though, wow. Beautiful.

"Take on and off a blanket" TAKE ON, hmmm, that's a new concept.

Surgicals, that was hilarious!! :lol:

Add me to the list, as well. I have them between L3-4 and L4-5 and also SI issues on the right side which stemmed from sciatica and me trying to be he-woman. I tried moving a 300+lb display cabinet...

You're welcome! :)

That's just it, not a lot of our stock ever leave the farms, aside from the handful of show horses/ponies or for trail riding. New horses are hardly ever brought in, other...

You're welcome. I was honored to even have a question asked by you, as I enjoy your posts very much. :) Didn't think it was blasting me at all. Yes, it sure is.

It's just how we've done it for many years now and we have healthy foals and mares. Yes, the foals are dewormed prior to weaning, as well. We rotate Panacur and Ivermectin. And we wean at 4...

I read the comments on the thread and decided I couldn't stand to watch it. :cry:

They have a smallish rodeo north of me in the summer that I used to attend every single year like clockwork. ...

Aww, they're adorable and look very sweet and thankful to be where someone is taking care of them.

How awful!! :cry: I'm so sorry for your loss.

Godspeed Sebastian (love that name, btw)

((((HUGS))))

We do things a bit differently I guess. We de-worm and vaccinate at least a month prior to foaling. And we don't de-worm the mares again until around weaning time. We give probios right after...

Glad you got to try some. Finding half sizes isn't easy, but they are out there. I ride in a 15", but can ride a 14.5" comfortably. As mentioned, barrel saddles aren't meant to be sat in for long...
