    Open Bridle

    I had the cheek straps made for mine. If you can take off the cheek/blinder piece from your old bridle. I think I had them made by Star Lake tack. Just measure and E mail them, they can have them made for you. I have used the nylon bridle, only for training when we were starting out . It's...

    Gravel in Paddock

    Here's my 2cents. Gravel is great, but to do it right it's not cheap, but it works and will last for years. You have to put down a Geo textile fabric first, that keeps the gravel from sinking and disappearing in the mud. Without it you will have to replace it often. If you use a larger than...

    Parasites??

    There was a "thing" a while back regarding it. Some horses got sores in their mouths. I think it was from the other ingredients not the actual wormer. I have used it in the past with no problems. Now I use Equimax instead and never had a problem. It's apple flavor too!

    Hair for bird's nests

    My oldest hen (7) started laying soft eggs a couple of years ago. She has had a couple of eggs break inside her, what a mess, and made her very sick. I tried putting crushed calcium pills in oatmeal for her. It didn't make much difference. Now when she does lay, it scares me every time. I...

    Chicken pictures

    You should know come spring when the hormones start flowing and the hens start squatting and laying. I had a Silkie rooster once also and he wasn't mean. I think Silkies are the most docile of the breeds.

    I'm going on an adventure

    Don't settle on something unless you really need to! After driving by it every day, and wishing it was ours, we waited 10 years and hocked our eyeballs to finally get our "dream home".

    Corral

    I couldn't live without any of it! But think I would miss the pasture the most. Without it I would have to hand graze three horses and pick grass for the mule.

    Babies Being Born Here....What else do YOU raise???

    We actually had a pair of black swans show up near our house one year. I don't think they migrate to Kentucky! I guess they escaped from someones farm. I had to google to find out where they are native.

    Gardening

    This is my gardening effort this year. It breaks up the big white side of my garage. Two cutouts from TSC, giant zennias and paving bricks from the streets of Ashland KY that are 100+ years old. I love those bricks and have them bordering all my landscaping.

    Antiques

    I love antiques! Here's what I had sent back from my folks home in CA. I remember when we got it in the late 60's. It's part of my childhood, and very special to me. I saved a place in my home just for it.

    group housing

    My 4 all live in a group barn and large dry lot. The barn is approx 16 X 24, there is plenty of room for everyone. When I feed hay, I spread it out along the outside edges and make sure there is at least 5 piles, or use hay nets in each corner. To feed pellets, everyone gets their own pan in...

    odd behavior

    Can you talk with the previous owners? It sounds to me like he's performing a learned behavior or trick. Maybe they taught him to back up out of their way so they could enter the stall. (big horse trainers do this) Or it could be backing training for shows while in lineup. Mine will do random...
