ditto 2tempe ^^
I only have one Nibblenet but it is awesome. I have a really small-hole one and it really slows down the speed and bite-size. It's super-sturdy and I love how easy it is to fill. ...

True, but when the base layer is frozen, no water on the surface can drain... be it rain or melting snow. Unless you heat the ground underneath the ring, there will be water collecting on the top of...

We retrofitted an existing barn (was a utility shed) on our property for our horses who are out 24/7. It is approx 30 x 50.
On one end, we made a run-in that opens up into a 30x40 paddock (which...

Interesting, I found this:
"Magnesium Chloride is used in the manufacture of Magnesium Hydroxide Mg(OH)2 for further preparation of antacids for relieving stomach ailments and ulcers."
Which, of...

Question for QM2 if you see this... or anyone...
If you add the rock salt/calcium chloride to the riding ring and it seeps out with a good rain, does it hurt the grass/vegetation around the ring? ...

Not sure if there are different models but I have an Andis cordless, have had it for several years. It's much more quiet than my regular clippers so it's good for horses that are a little skittish...

I tend to agree with the other people who suggest that owning a horse during college be considered VERY carefully. I entered college without my horse (shipped her the weekend before I went to school...

I agree, hopping off is a bad idea unless the rider is *really* scared in which case she may have to, it does seem to 'reward' the horse for the bad behavior unless what she does when she gets off is...

I suppose you could, but everywhere the waterproofing spray hit dust instead of turnout sheet, it would not work. And if your waterproofing spray is like mine, you don't want to waste all that...

I second jn4jenny on the 'cold' issue, having moved to PA after living in GA for 13 years. I used to get 'cold' (ok, frozen) in GA somewhere just under 50 degrees. Now I can be out in just a...

Thanks for this thread! I needed a laugh today!

I, too, had a co-worker tell me about how sad she was for some horses that she would pass on the way to work because they were all blindfolded. ...

It sounds like the bucket I used to have. Yes, a good outdoor extension cord should work fine if your DOGS don't chew the extension cord up. How they lived through that I'll never know.

I love mine. I used the small opening hay nets and they would get chewed through. The nibble net has the wide flat nylon webbing and the horses don't seem to bite that as much. Plus I ordered the...

actually, just went through this in Nov. It hurt *me* to watch the sole (and half the frog and some heel bulb) come off, probably more than the horse!
My farrier recommended coating in iodine to...

I used to work/live in the Princeton area and lived in Jackson. If you want trails you may want to look south to the Allentown/Cream Ridge area near Assunpink Wildlife Management Area. Nice area...

I'm a science teacher and I've had a few students do projects dealing with horses. One was on heart rate vs. temperature. For example, does 15 minutes of trotting raise the heart rate more in hot...

wow, next thing you know she'll want special accomodations for him.

how much different was the price you were quoted, and the price you see other saddles offered for? If you don't sell the saddle yourself, you have to expect there to be a difference. That's how the...

I've used Hoofwings, Old Mac's G2's, and Easyboot Gloves.
The Hoofwings never came off, but we did have some trouble with them turning. Probably depends on the shape of the hoof, this pony had...

Thanks, that helps a lot. I actually did try to search for previous threads, either I did it wrong or there haven't been any very recently.
I'm more inclined to go ahead and insure a horse than...

I'm hoping for some helpful suggestions and possibly recommendations about insuring a horse. I've owned horses for many years but have never insured one. Honestly, I've never been rich enough to...
