    Free to Good Home: Bees?

    This is a new one. I've been offered cats, dogs, and horses since I bought the farm, but never before a hive of bees.

    Message on the answering machine as I came in from mowing. It's a man from...

    Would somebody please summarize this simulation? My internet isn't going to cooperate with the video. Have tried for 4 minutes but can only get a 29-second ad (took me 2 minutes for that), then...

    When I found my project farm, I called the agent listed, and they actually asked me to come out alone first, get out, poke around, and see as much as possible by the locks, front and back, and then...

    Yay! An IttyBitty update! I was just wondering about them the other day. Glad to know they are thriving and that Bounce now purrs. He's always been my favorite for some reason.

    I'm sternly...

    Yep, he has an upside down heart. I now have an apostrophe, a teardrop, and an upside down heart in the star category. Until the colt turned gray, he had a paintball splotch. :)

    That's his "yee-ha, I'm THAT good" tail. :D

    Definitely wound up with the Arab tail. He is by a purebred Arab stallion, out of my mustang mare, so figure at least 50% Arab and then take your...

    I can understand abstaining on one category, but 39 people with a vote didn't even send in a ballot?

    Is there some kind of rule where if you can't be bothered to vote for two consecutive years,...
  9. "Strange" Horse in the Pasture - A Photo Essay

    The weather was gorgeous this morning, a nice change from frigid. I've had a new guy who just came on a multistate trip and had been in a barn, so he didn't have the coat for our recent cold snap. ...

    She did have a great overall season, although Zenyatta is the one who excited me. Both of them would have been deserving winners. I'm just glad we'll get to see both of them again this year and...

    I'll ask him about Valium. I didn't know what he gave him at first, only knew it was ketamine because he immediately stated after the colt crashed over like that that ketamine was the reason for the...

    I'm taping it and watched the first 30 minutes while eating. I was already getting bored and wanting to cattle prod them. When I get down to watching the rest, I'll probably watch much of it on...

    I went through my first experience of having a colt gelded last winter, roughly a year ago. The colt had a reaction to the ketamine, went down pretty violently, and was twitching. The vet said that...

    I'm delighted and hope she and Rachel both stay in the game all year and have a showdown at least at the BC, if not before.

    I have not been as excited by a race horse in years as I have been by...

    Great update, and jingles continuing.

    I just had some pictures not long ago from a friend. She had to pick her filly up for the first 3 days straight and was near despair. Filly is now a...

    Question on WEG Event Scheduling

    This seems obvious, but I don't want to assume and then buy an unused ticket.

    Can you attend ALL events on a day, time wise (with a ticket for each, of course)? Are the schedules consecutive or...

    Another good idea in general and especially for those of us in dodgy cell phone service areas is a whistle, like a coach's whistle. Mine is on a string and tucks inside my shirt out of the way. ...

    Jingles for Huntsman, and what a credit to your care and to him to be 30.

    Wow, I'll have to give that a try. Certainly won't hurt!

    Twister is a vacuum cleaner. I've never found anything she didn't like. Freedom (foundation broodmare), on the other hand, is a picky...

    52 colts to 1 filly? :rolleyes: Doesn't seem fair, does it? I'm running 100% colts so far in my breeding business, although nowhere near 52 yet. At least I'm getting live colts now. :) Had a...

    Wow. 5K? Although honestly, if I had 5K sitting around with no other purpose and easily spareable, I do have a mare I'd probably pay that for a guaranteed filly. :yes: Think I'll try the natural...

    Agree. Quality of life is the #1 consideration. I let a horse go on too long once. His death still haunts me, and in his memory, I vowed to never grasp at straws again and always listen to the...

    I am very excited to get back into breeding in 2010 after a couple of rough years for me personally and also for the mares, including CEM testing resulting in a roundabout way from a breeding back in...

    My new Bernese Mountain Dog will immediately drop to the ground if I have a treat. Seriously, show her a treat, and she hits the deck and lies there - tail wagging, but the rest of the dog...
