5 rats so far. Lost count of mice. Lettuce is ready to pick and the beets leaves can be harvested. I've had to replant the kale and one tub of beets. The rodents eat their leaves and leave naked stems. I'm not sure why we have this colony of rats. Over the last 20 years we've only had a...

A flicker showed up. And quite a gathering of mocking birds.

Gurus say it is a Coopers Hawk.

30 minutes for Billy.

Your corners are so perfect.

Any update on these hooves?

I have had a Tough 1 for several years. I did have to resew one snap (after loaning it to someone) but otherwise it is a workhorse.

An unusual visitor!

1.17 walking billy today. We work on Stand while walking. He just seems insecure if he gets separated. Lately, instead of cueing him to back up, I've begun walking forward towards him, forcing him back to the original Stand location without saying anything. Today we had a good result on the...

Good question for the vets. Maybe it would depend on the amount of the toxin. A blister bug can kill a horse, but I doubt a scavenger would be affected.

How did they do on the stair? 1.17 mile this morning with Billy and Pepper.

The latest is they couldn't decide whether to just give up the rodeo business, or "cowboy up" and keep going. They decided to keep going. They bought some more horses. The issue is still under investigation by State authorities. The most shocking to me was the owners kept finding dead horses...

Well, Eddie is a lovely girl and I am sure Holly is also!

As a rule I think it is a risky idea. They might nip, thinking they are doing some "mutual grooming". I got poison ivy from my horse one time--on my face and mouth--so I don't do kisses any more. HE had no symptoms of poison ivy, so I had no idea he had been into it. Your Holly is a lovely...

The Forage sure seems to encourage additional plumbing! Not that I'm complaining, but the compost pile is getting higher...

Morning walk with Billy before it gets too warm. 1.17 miles. It was also a "litter run", picking up trash on our roadside.

My 20 year old Billy is getting quite a coat already. I shaved his belly yesterday and he seems a lot more comfortable. Of course, you will be colder sooner than where I am, but just a thought. That darn humidity is so miserable.

40 minutes this morning for Billy. We went 2.11 miles. I watch for signs of discomfort. No real head-bobbing. He trots willingly and all seems fine with his body. I clipped his stomach this morning--he has been sweating every day as the weather has been pretty warm. Hoping the minor clip...

Oh my goodness. You have set yourselves a challenge. Looking forward to seeing him next year after he has been in your care!

We measured them by weight into a coffee can. I put some in 3 different tubs around his pen. Still giving him a pound of hay in a hay bag. He gets this twice a day. When the hay bale is gone--I am trying to transition him--I will up the measurement of cubes. He really seems to enjoy the...
