My best advice: Know how and where their poop is going to be disposed of. Poop control is key parasite control.

I'm so sorry Marsha. My heart is with you.

Sending healing thoughts to you & Dapper Dan. I know how hard it is to have your heart horse hurting, miles away and at the hospital. At least you get good updates from the vet. Hoping all works out for the good.

I don't get that kind, but it may be old. Now you know why it was on sale! You can call or email Purina and ask how long the shelf life is. They might also be interested that one of their clients is selling "old" feed .

Best pic I have. Fitted this to haul my mini but never did. Too scarry to haul in a single axel trailer and by the time we needed to move horses we had too many to fit! Used plexiglass & aluminum U channel for the sliding windows. Also made a front barrier to keep mini from moving too far...

I think it'll work if you really want to frustrate your horse, or not let him get any grass at all. He may pull that snowflake apart and get it stuck in his teeth. I use the same type and that hole isn't that big considering the small amount of grass that they can actually access through it. :)

I have rediscovered the joy of decoupage.

My suggestion: Tie him short to a solid post and keep using the syringe. Give a good treat after. I have to give mine meds every day too. I use the syringe w/ molasses water. By the time he's done with the meds he'll be trained to take it. Good Luck! :)

I have loose white salt (cheap at about $5per 50 lb bag) Also one of those "deer "salt rocks, or Himalayan rocks. They love all three kinds. Also you should provide loose minerals. They love and need those too.

OOH! Nice! have fun!

Great! You'll love it and make it your own. I remember when we got our dream farm-ett 8 years ago. Still making improvements and loving every minute!.

I always heard that horse weight tapes aren't accurate for minis. There are formulas you can use to get a weight. They used to be on the Lil beginnings forum in the info pages.

I know I'm late to the party, but the vet site I watch always says to soak/ice their feet as much as you can for the 1st 24 hours if laminitis is a concern. Keeping the feet cold is the key to prevention of laminitis.

Standlee pellets weigh 4oz per cup. Most pellets I've tried weigh about the same per cup.

When my pea gravel travels outside the fence, I use the leaf blower to shoot it back. Fast & easy. I also love to rake the lot, it's very "zen" for me :)

The best affordable method is GEO textile and pea gravel. If you can, get some mats to feed hay on. It will last for years, is easy to poo pick, doesn't freeze solid and is good for hooves. I was lucky that my farm had the GEO textile and limestone gravel already. All I had to do was...

It may be a Sagebrush Sparrow. That's all I could figure out. ;) Helpful Identification guide at Identify a bird by its location, size, and color

I think the little bird(before the flickers) is a Dark Eyed Junco. We had one at our suet feeder last winter and had to look it up because I've never seen one before.
