Just for comparison purposes, I think a lot of people who are breeding warmbloods with the expectations of selling them for five figures are delusional. I just have to look on Craigslist or even...

So happy to read this! Couldn't tell from the title whether the story got better or worse!

Ergots are the ones on the back of the fetlock, right? I'm not even aware of them. After this thread, I'll have to check. Watch me find hideous gnarly things and doubt my care standards!

I am...

I tell this story a lot. That in itself is, well, TELLING.

I had a goat. My goat was beheaded. By what, we know not. She was tethered, so the collar may have played some role, but beyond...

I live on the property so mine is rent and board. I usually hand it to my landlord or put it in the drop box by his back door. Doesn't matter... I pay three months' worth at a time due to the way I...

Many moons ago, 1999 to be exact, I had my two senior cats, littermates, put to sleep at the same time. They were both in failing health with inoperable conditions and would have been lost without...

This is bashing.

I suppose it could be because I don't have a wash stall (bathing is done only during the PNW's short summer season and only out behind the barn) but I HATE bathing my horses. We have nothing for...

I totally agree that you have to move. But since that has been said many ways already, I'm going to take another angle.

Is there any way to get mental health assistance for your father-in-law? I...

I think that it is unfortunate that the counselors who are qualified to speak to gay students have to be so identified. I never would have gone into a room where my topic of discussion could be...

This is inspiring me. I have been off and on gluten-free since January 2012. I fall back into gluten-y habits under stress, for both the emotional satisfaction I convince myself it gives me, as well...

Also Thieves' World and Sanctuary, edited by Robert Lynn Aspirin. Short stories by different authors about a dark yet engaging world.

I loved Mists of Avalon.

Sweet! I'm a charcoal purist too. I have a big drum style grill with attached rolling cart. Love the cart but covet your trap door!

No protection from the elements though, so it winters in the...

Over the past couple of years, I've reconnected with some high school friends online. First through the high school's Facebook page, then with a separate group that my class set up.

This week,...

Is this a boarding facility? Is it a perimeter fence that is locked? If so, how are other boarders getting in and out? Could you go in with one of them, or enlist someone's help to get your horse...

Great big jingles from your neighbor to the north... hope something positive AND conclusive is forthcoming soon... :yes:

My friend gave me the best advice when I learned to drive a trailer. She said "You know those signs on exit ramps that say 20 -- or 15 or 25 -- mph that we all just ignore? Don't."

It's true --...

Listed in a CL ad as an ingredient in the seller's hay (along with other grasses). Never heard of it! If it adds a bit of protein and calories like alfalfa... well that would be something I'd like...

I have pipe panel stalls (the scourge of breeders, but it is what it is) and actually have put full BALES of straw, or grass hay, under the panels. Lightweight, movable (in some cases EDIBLE, for...

I don't have warmbloods but I do know the face you're all talking about. And I am really enjoying the pictures everyone is posting!

This mare (a yearling at the time of this pic) has what I think...

What a relief for all concerned! Give Tankie a big kiss from me. I've been checking this thread all weekend (and got the GOOD news almost as soon as it was posted, but finally got a break in my day...

I can't even picture that! Ten inches off the wall (what holds it out there?) and 10 inches off the ground (again, what is the structure... I'm drawing a blank!).

Since I had never heard of such...

Ditto this. I live in the converted milk parlor of an old dairy farm which is actually connected to a barn. I had no flea problems with my indoor cats before I moved in but now I have to be...

So apart from Shaker Foal syndrome, are horses affected by Type B, the only type for which the vaccine is effective? Or do horses suffer/die from Type C and owners vaccinate against Type B just to...
