    4 mos old filly..how hard could it be?

    Quote: Where do you get that information from??? There are lots of 20+ year old horses that are great trail horses still healthy and still doing 25-50 mile per day rides. I see it all the time in CTR and endurance. I was thinking the same thing. My DIL rode my old 23+ year old gelding all...

    How cold is too cold?

    Well, they did fine last night. It was -20 last night without the windchill. AND the wind was blowing about 10-15 mph. I haven't looked to see what the windchill would be with that. I went out first thing this morning and they were all fat and happy! The water did freeze, so we brought it...

    How cold is too cold?

    Tonight it's suppose to be around -15 and the wind is blowing about 20-30 mph. My coop is a 8X16 shed converted into a coop and is pretty well draft free. I have it divided in half and at night I shut the inside door along with the outside door to keep my 10 birds in a smaller area with the...

    Does anyone ride in the winter? and Tips ...

    I ride during the winter and pull the shoes off my horses. They have a nice barn that I'm putting stalls in this year (should have already been done, but I've been especially lazy this last couple of weekends..... ). I ride once a week in a nice heated barn and if the weather is semi-nice, in...

    Horse people - need some advice

    Well, Pat, they probably won't be actually stalled at night except when the weather is bad. And if the last month has been any indication, we are going to have a BAD winter. (did you see how much snow SD got this week? It only missed us this time by about 50 miles. Last month, we got a storm...

    Farm Dog question

    Have you thought about an invisible fence? We have two big dogs we keep close with one. The systems vary in price, depends on how fancy you want to get. We just got one with a little box, the wire you bury and two electric collars. We were able to "fence" in about 2 acres and it gives them...

    Horse people - need some advice

    I have a 30 X 50 barn with a 10 foot sliding door on both long sides. It's always just been a run in barn, no stalls or anything. But because of the different feeding needs of my 5 horses, I'm going to divide it up into stalls. OK, so I have 5 horses........I could divide it into 6 stalls...

    Post your fall pictures

    OK, you really want to see my fall pictures?? They are quite scary. Way too early for this. These pictures were taken this morning. We are in North East Wyoming. 5 days ago, I was riding my horse in the 70's with a short sleeve shirt on. Today, I had my jeans, coveralls, leather gloves...

    What kind of horse do you own?

    I have a 9 year old arabXpaint mare that I ride endurance on. And a 20-something arabXQH gelding that we think is out of the Khemosabi line that we did Limited Distance on this summer. A 9 year old paint gelding, a 15 year old paint gelding and our newest pride and joy, a 3 year old full arab...

    Cleaning your waterer

    Thanks for all the different ideas! I'll go look for a big bottle of ACV and use it when I clean. I never thought about a cone on top. My other biggest problem is I can't get the top off! My son will fill te waterer for me sometimes and he must put a little extra twist on it and when it's...

    Cleaning your waterer

    Does any one use bleach when you clean your waterer? I've started doing that because I'd get poop in the water.....I have a big 5 gallon plastic one and no matter where I put it and how high I put it, there always seems to be poop in the tray! I think I have some one perching on top of it...

    Olde English Bulldog puppies!

    I hate to ask because I'm sure I can't afford one even though they are GORGEOUS! But what is an average price? They look like a cross between a bulldog and a mastiff. We've had bully crosses for years. Right now we have a german shepard/American bulldog cross. She looks more like the german...

    My dog is gone!

    Quote: When we are home, he is inside. But we both work and he is NOT a good dog inside by himself. He gets bored and even if he is kept in the kitchen (we have gates on both entries) he climbs on things, tears things up and then pees on them! Yep, we've tried keeping him inside by himself...

    My dog is gone!

    He came home late, late last night. I was so worried I kept getting up and going outside checking. I would call his name and stop and listen for the jingle of his tags. About midnight, I called and...... jingle, jingle :o I called again and thought I could see him (being black and it was...
