My usual treat is apple wafers - universally accepted by any horse I have offered.

Does it look like this one...

I pretty much chased my tail on this request Marsha. I THOUGHT I had lifted from a friend whose husband works at the college at Stillwater, but when I finally asked her, she said "Not my picture!" So I cannot follow up with any more info. Sorry!

I have been looking at nipper alternates. This is the best candidate so far. A Walmart "Hypertough" brand angle grinder and 1.5 amp.hr li-ion battery , (about $40) and a flap disk about $10. The gold colored wheel has more aggressive teeth, but it tends to jump, when used single handed. The...

At Stillwater (OK) this week.

Imagine! A county fair with only one rabbit! At the Jackson County fair down the road, a few years back, there were good showings in poultry - miniature English game fowl caught our eye, so we took home a trio and before too long we were over-run with them, until a friend took pity on us and...

Interesting topic! Wiki tells me chromium (3) sulphate is the bees knees, though it may be that some are still using oak or hemlock bark for the tannin?

I dropped a silver dollar screw-on concho recently, and found that they are easy to come by, if you are happy with silver-plate!

Not the center, bend up the hook ends!

I took the oscillating tool to try yesterday. It made a slight impression on heels and next to no useful effect on the long toes. Ba humbug! Sounds like BSharpRanch has a better tool, not sure if it is rotary or orbital. I suspect an abrasive band tool might be up to it as well.

Will do!

These remind me of the concave edge thick nail clippers, like this one...

Just checked prices on water melon versus carrots perhaps half the price so I must try it. I have seen horses play with a big ball.

Horses may rim trees as a mineral source - though this is unlikely unless the horse is skinny, and may be countered with access to a mineral block. This habit can be a carry-over from being stabled where cribbing is the result - which I think of as a reaction to being boxed in. But a horse can...

I am likely misreading your note. Reading blood oxygen saturation level is easy with a pulse oximeter. You can get one at Walgreens for instance for ~ $30 It clips over a finger nail and reads variation in LED light transmission during a pulse.

I was interested in equipping a light (synthetic) saddle for my16H Morgan. I prefer 'mud' or 'overshoe' stirrups, so I found an eBay lot of three used 'wide' resin stirrups. But they were small women's or children's size about 4 inch tread. The seller was apologetic and refunded, and asked me...
