I second this. Allow yourself to feel sad. Grieving is a process....and sometimes a long one. You can't rush it. Perhaps when you feel ready you could volunteer at a local horse rescue. I have always...

So very sorry that you have to go through this. Sometimes even going about something the right way can end up poorly. I'm very glad you didn't run into any problems getting her back.
I made a bad...

So my dad is obsessed with trying to keep our barn not smelling like a barn (I think he is worried the neighbors will get mad). We keep our manure in a closed dumpster and we clean up at least 5...

We use large watertubs with hay nets attached. We take out the water plug and thread the haynet string through the water hole in the botton of the tub and attached it to the fence post. My dad...

my dad being my dad went out and bought a box fan from lowes as soon as I mentioned getting fans lol. It was already hanging outside the stall when I got home today. I'll try and get a picture...

Do you have one of the specifically designated farm stall fans, such as the ones Farmtek sells or do you use a regular box fan from lowes/home depot and just wall mount it? I have a shed row barn...

I have owned her for a year and a half and she has only vomited twice the whole time I have had her. Her stool is well formed. She did have a hernia that was caught when she was spayed, but that was...

Interesting....would something like that happen in less than a min though? It happens before she even finishes eating and she doesn't take more than a min to eat....and would it ease up on it's own...

I plan to call my vet on Monday. On a few occasions my one dog has suddenly walked away from her food....stretched really slowly and then laid down. Usually the discomfort passes in about 30 to 60...

So the mini I had my eye on was adopted this week....I can't help but be happy for the little guy...especially since my barn probably won't be done until at least mid summer if not fall. But I...

Our biggest problem is we have a long narrow piece of property and very strict zoning laws. We have already had to get a variance (which was approved) but the structure can only be 16 feet wide. So...

I'm located in NY, about two hours from NYC. It is a suburban area and nothing is cheap where I am, so that does make it a little tougher.

We can get pretty bad winters, although this past...

I'm in the very, very, very beginning stages of looking into clearing some land and putting up a 12x34 shed-row barn. I could not even begin to guess how much the barn is going to cost. Money is not...

Thank you so much for the information :)

I thought about that too....my only concern is that my neighbors are NOT horse people, and I worry a donkey may be a little noisy for them. Our properties are close, so they would def hear him/her.

I am very happy to hear such positive accounts of mini/horse pairs doing so well. The area I live in is highly populated, so most turn-outs are pretty small, and thus most horses in my area...

I agree....I would never forgive myself if something happened to the little guy/girl.

I'm sorry, I should have been clearer.....the mini/small pony would be in a separate turnout within sight of my TB, but they would not actually be physically together.

:lol::lol:

I am considering putting a barn up on my property and bringing my TB home. Unfortunately there are no other horses on my block. The nearest barn is a few blocks away (we do have the permits for the...

I also use Wellness and have really liked it. The canned "stews" are a little pricey, but they look and smell amazing. Wet dog food usually grosses me out, but the stews look like something I would...

I have two pit-mix girls. They are sisters, however one is a much different dog than the other. I'm not sure if that is just because they are mixes or if that is just because they have their own...

How long do you try a supplement before you decide if it is working or not? I know there is no hard/fast answer, so I guess this is more of a survey. One month....two months....thanks

My horse has mild allergies. Mostly he ends up with a drippy nose, but at least once now the drippy nose turned into an actual infection. I am considering putting him on allergy medication, but I was...

My pit mix has a few patches of hair loss on her back. Vet took a look....there is no sign of irritation, parasites, fungal etc. The vet recommended using 4mg of melatonin a day. I could only find 3...
