Ouch! Don't think my swallows would like the paint ball gun or the pressure washer treatment - too Gitmo. They're sensitive little things, don't you know! Plus, as it'll be part of the house, I...

I hadn't realised they'd be laying their eggs quite so promptly - good to know.

The cats are lurking, sure enough, although the swallows just zip right on by, much to the cats' disgust.

Wow - I didn't realise moth balls still existed: thanks!

Crikey - that sounds like it'd be scaring me, too, lol. I'll see what the hardware store has to offer - thanks. :)

Haven't been here for ages, and posted this rather urgent question in "Off Course" first, by mistake, oops.

Anyway, here it is again:

We've opened up the side of an old building attached to the...

We've opened up the side of an old building attached to the house, and the swallows are going nuts trying to nest in there. We only pulled the side off yesterday, and today there are HUGE debates in...

Another thumbs up for 2+1 - love ours for ease of loading, and all that nice airy space up front of the horses (seldom trailer more than 2). Very handy for tacking up in crappy weather, or just...

Don't forget you can also check the "real" feedback for anyone on Ebay at www.toolhaus.org - it catches ALL the neutral and negative feedback, not just the more recent stuff.

Can be quite...

stella - did the vet have any suggestions for re-instating the good flora in your dog's gut?

One of our dogs is still uncomfy after gobbling down on horse manure with a chaser of cat poo from the...

Oh, c'mon....we had a late start to this winter, and the days will start getting longer next week already ;)

Yes to what the others have said - lay a heavy sheet of ply over the trough at night to...

What about using the electric rope, rather than the electric tape?

We're on a windy hill farm, and the rope has been way more successful than any tape.

System Fencing have a couple of options available - they're steel frames which include a base which is shaped like a skid, if that makes sense, and then you can either buy the wall material from them...

:eek: :lol:

Right - I agree with you on that one completely. However, that's not what you said first time around.

I think Beverly proved my point, don't you: she admonished a horse who seemed to be being...

I second or third the Rambo XL - they'll custom-make them in larger sizes, too.

Or talk to Saratoga for a polartec liner - they often have them on sale, and again, will custom-make them in larger...

Maybe it's just because the supplement is making him feel that much better and more energized?

I have no clue about chasteberry, but I noticed a similar change in temperament in an older horse...

Unless you're showing, I wouldn't worry about it, myself, as the grubby bits are more of a cosmetic eyesore than a serious condition, whereas consistently using alcohol- or silicone-based products...

If you can tip the round bale - manually or hanging on the tractor spikes - so the twine runs horizontally, it's easy enough to just snip each strand and then pull off a handful of short lengths;...

I'm guessing you can, as I remember seeing a matched pair in a ploughing competition at the IPM years back.

So - I betcha google is your friend. :)

:rolleyes: right; beat on him if he's bad, because after all, horses are only bad because they want to be bad, not because they have no other way of expressing their pain or discomfort.

OP - I...

We installed hd outdoor timers so the heaters are on for 1/2 an hour, off for two - seemed like a good use of $10 to me, plus breaking thick ice a couple of times a day simply doesn't cut it this far...

Depends how big and heavy they are! Shop around to find someone who will make them a manageable size/weight for you.

If a horse was so knackered that it couldn't carry its head without a strap holding the head on to the chest (isn't that what the neck is for?), then surely the rider should dismount and let the...

A couple of points, hosspuller...

The instructions that come with the heaters are very clear - the trough itself should be grounded from the water out to a grounding rod.

And there is indeed...

I seem to remember Bass Pro :eek: stocked them at one point!
