    Horse club

    Thank you. Buying appropriate horses is one of my soapbox issues. I see so many young riders or reriders who buy an inappropriate horse and it kills the passion. It breaks my little horse loving heart.

    Horse club

    @TropicalBabies When purchasing a horse from anyone who you dont know well, the best advice is a thorough PrePurchase Exam (PPE). If the horse performs as desired in the trial (remember rule #1, unless you are a trainer, buy a horse you can ride today), schedule a vet for flexion tests and a...

    Please post rooster pics with breed.

    First time flock owner, we have two silver laced polish roos as our flock. So far they are lovely little weirdos!

    Goat with udders - False pregnancy??

    Certain spring grasses and clovers can bring on false lactation in certain species, so the early udder might be more seasonal and just happened to coincide with pregnancy. Of course this is highly dependent on where you are located. I see this seasonally with my mares every year. Not every...

    I NEVER go to kill pens or sale barns unless I hear through the grapevine (you know how horse people talk) about a very nice horse that is being auctioned due to stablemans lien. There is absolutely no guarentee of soundness/function/health/age and all kinds of icky diseases run rampant. I would...

    It helps when they pay their way (except for Ruth) and are all for sale for the right price.

    I have a whole farm full of my own creatures. Ruth, the auction mule and the Aztca yearling whom she babysits. I have 2 GRPs (one pictured above), one in foal for a 2020 half Welsh, a 2yo quarter horse project (pictured below annoying my saint of a lesson horse), a 5 year old grade prospect...

    Thanks. She is mostly just a pet. Advertised as a 12 yo broke trail mule, actually a 20+yo semi broke pack mule (one of the many risks of a kill pen, they dont know/care about the animals history) . Fortunately she loved the filly I had to wean this year, so shes just a babysitter and I have...

    1) I have a "kill pen" mule. You can go straight to your local auction and outbid the kill buyers (the guys or gals buying everything under $300 -sometimes way less- or so). You, and hopefully your trainer or trusted experienced horse person, can walk through and ask questions before the horses...

    Some MEDICATED chicken feed may be poisonous for horses

    As a rule ALL grains should be kept secure, in air and water tight containers. The amount of monesin, for instance, required to result in death in horses is very small, volume wise. Colic can be an overindulgence of protein or sugar. The volume of grain needed is far higher than monensin or...

    Some MEDICATED chicken feed may be poisonous for horses

    Cross contamination happens when grain is milled in the same facility that also runs cattle/poultry/swine feeds. Horse people in particular tend to demand horse feeds be the only variation processed at a facility. At least once a year there is an instance of cross-contamination that results...

    Starlight’s Training Adventure!

    We had our first 80 degree weekend, now all of the hair comes off! No sunscreen or chapstick until these coats get blown off. Pictured is my 2yo colt (soon to be gelding) and the colt annoying one of my lesson horses, 20yo arabian.

    Dogs are the worst predator, I swear Amazing update!

    If you build in, be sure to maintain your yard/grass outside the fence. If your build in and your neighbor treats it as his property and maintains it as such, adverse possession laws (I think that's what they are called) can take a few as 5 years before your 1' of property becomes his. The...
