I had a dressage clinic at my farm and I rode my OTTB in it. One of the gals that was auditing asked what was the warmblood breed of my horse. I said he was a thoroughbred and she said, "No he...

Have you never seen a white 5 gallon bucket? I get my insulated buckets from County Manufacturing.

See white bucket inserted into black metal frame...

I have insulated buckets with a white 5 gallon bucket inserted in the bucket holder. I had the same problem with hard water and rust stains until I started to use Iron Out and bleach.

I first...

Funny but I can honestly see the middle one that virtually covers the entire horse for a horse that is really affected by flies and bugs. I just bought a fly sheet for my horses companion and so far...

Glad to read the update. Looking forward to seeing more pics. You'll be surprised that in about 3 months, you won't recognize her as the same skinny girl that your trainer picked up a couple of wks...

I get the same look when I'm buying 6 tubes of K-Y Jelly (and I'm 67 yrs old)! :D

What about water to the indoor for hosing down the footing?

You should check with your utility company and/or your town to see if digging a trench is required. I'm sure it's cheaper to just run the line above ground from the pole to the barn but it may not...

Your sink/shower/washing machine water are considered 'grey water' and could drain to the regular ground, at least that's what it would be considered in NY.

I installed the Incinolet several yrs...

If you consider installing an Incinolet Toilet, you don't need a septic tank. Yes, they are expensive, probably ~$1600-1800 but run on electricity. Actually I'm surprised your contractor only said...

Good luck to anyone in a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, fire zone, mud slide area etc. :) :) I'm just glad that the worst I usually have is snow. :sigh:

trubandloki, Hm, Dang, now I wonder who that was. Dang, it's a bwitch getting old......:(

Good lord, it's bad enough to have to deal with them in the barn. I'd hate to have them in the house. :eek: Yes, I've had those nasty little blood suckers bite me when I'm mowing or picking up the...

Give pony a big hug from me for having to deal with them. :) :)

trubandloki,

I used to use Farnam's Roll On in ears and around sheath areas to keep the gnats at bay but had trouble with it rolling on the last couple of yrs. This yr I've switched to Repel-X...

Yep, I remember that and I also remember you and hubbby bringing a jug of Oslo's urine out to help dissuade the foxes from digging up a horse in my back pasture.

It was really hot and muggy in the AM and then my neighbor was over till well after 2 PM. There weren't any riders I really wanted to catch that I wouldn't be able to catch at another event.

PS....

You just let me know when that happens. :) They just had the first one day horse trial this past weekend. I must admit though that I missed it due to my neighbor coming over to do some work in the...

Flash, one of these days we HAVE to get together and really meet. :)

Flash, the picture of your daughter is touching but the one of your son and Fancy brought tears to my eyes. :sadsmile:

Went all out here. Tiled graded, ~80' X 220' with compacted clay base, a 3" layer of stone dust layer and on top of that I did first 3 " coarse bark mulch to prevent dust. When that did biodegrade...

Flash, I drove by there late morning and the horses did appear to be out on pasture but they were too far away (maybe 500' or more) to see if they were really as emaciated as your girl, at least...

Can you catch him and neuter him in hopes that it slows his hunting prowness?

Do you think your neighbor might be talked into neutering him possibly?

Any chance you can toss the 1/2 dead...

I'd like to know why they are selling at such a reasonable (cheap) price? I realize I'm in a different area so I'm not interested as I have my own farm.

Just curious. :)
