She shouldn't have any oats if she's had a laminitic episode; the high starch could cause another episode. If she is chonky, she should only get a control amount of low carb hay, preferably in a slow feeder of some sort and either a ration balancer or vitamin mineral supplement to fill in the...

I used to watch it more, but they changed their line-up, and the programs I used to watch aren't on at a convenient time for me, so I haven't watched in quite some time.

Thank you. It could be; the back is iron print, so still sewing theme.

Only thing I can say about winter weather, other than we have too much, at least we are in February, so closer to spring than fall right now.

I saw a pic of a pattern for a sewing machine cover on a website, didn't buy the pattern, but wrote down the finished dimensions (which is evidently for a larger machine than mine), and winged it, and made this sewing machine cover.

I upgraded my nearly 50 year old machine that my dad bought my mom in '75 or '76. I got a Janome mechanical machine, as I'm in the sticks and repair shops are few and far between, I thought another mechanical would be my best option. While all I do is sew quilt tops on it, I still got a...

I have completed 3 projects this year; two were well started, almost done before the end of the year, so I just had to quilt those two and I do not have a picture of either of those, yet; the third, I started and finished yesterday and today on my new machine, I did take a pic. so, here's a pic...

We still have winter weather left, so just remember if you clip them, you'll need to blanket them until night time temps are consistently above 50 degrees F. We are quite a bit colder than Oregon and have longer lasting winter weather, I typically don't clip until Mother's Day, but I do not...

Just jumping off and starting a new crafting thread for 2025. I have nothing new to share, yet; but hopefully will after I get my paperwork done for the taxman. Happy New Year! Happy Crafting!

Happy New Year!

FYI - I edited my post, as it should have been "1" rather than "I" dose of banamine. [I do however typically give the mare's a single dose of banamine after foaling to ease pain.]

Giving banamine helps with the pain, and pain can be one of the major causes of rejection, so 1 dose of banamine after foaling can be beneficial. I'd talk to your vet about when to administer, to ensure it doesn't interfere with "cleaning".

Not a project, but... I got a new sewing machine this year. Still a mechanical machine, I got a Janome with a few more bells and whistles than my old machine. While we usually pay for our own hobbies, hubby bought my machine for me; and I bought the extra accessories.

It's my understanding with dorm gel that they are still aware but "relaxed", I've had a couple that only needed dorm gel for one or two trims, and then good going forward. [I have one that was born here that just hates having her hooves done, she has some problem hooves, so that doesn't help...

Back in the 90s when I was in college and black and white pintos were all the rage; I boarded my horses up the road from a guy that thought he'd get rich raising black and whites, he bought up anything and everything black and white with a uterus at the local sale yard and tried to raise black...
