What I have found helpful -- usually doing this at a very early age -- is to give a bath and saturate the mane with a great conditioner, combing it to the side you want and leaving it just dripping. In a few days, I rewash mane and it has been a tremendous help in training the hair. Often I...

Maybe some "scent" from Devin lingers.........but, consider Bonnie Fogg talking with her.

Katien, love the "neighbor & shovel" ! Few yrs back I used to BE the neighbor & shovel......took manure to an older gentleman down the road and dumped in his garden spot. Come Spring he plowed a large garden which was a grand thing! All the veggies you could want. In exchange, I was given...

Sorry for the fix you are in! I made a habit of putting a copy of the reg certifs in each horses folder, also had a scanned one on disc, along with pics, etc. Much of this was due to having several homes at the time and doing a lot of travel. If they were on a disc and in my computer, I...

Gosh, I have been considering getting a few hens again (been 12 yrs now) and with that am trying to decide where and how I want to house/fence them. I can assure you that I was not planning on anything as grand as some of the pictures that I have seen on here for the chickens .... ...

Farm Tek has several pages with info/products to do this in a green house set-up. Basically hydroponic, it appears. I've done similar for chickens but, never horses. Hey with numbers you and I have it would be a full time job! I rely on beet pulp to help with the forage, yr round. I have...

I have both plugged in box units and 2 solar ones. My solars are large and cost about $200 each maybe 12 years ago, from Southern States. I have had to replace more thanone battery but, mine generally last 4-6 yrs between replacement...last week one cost me $30. These are the stronger...

I read in your post that you have mostly bred mares. PLEASE be careful if you use fescue. Many, many issues with that and they are more intense for minis. Been there, done that! If you DO use fescue please be sure that you know about and be prepared with domperidone..........for...

That little does is a real beauty! I used to raise Boers and found them to be very tame and excellent moms. In fact, they were far more patient with triplets than my Nubians! They milk well, also. While I have eaten goat meat, it was NEVER one of mine. Haven't had any goats around...

I love being able to have some control over the chemicals in food and the cans they are often put into. The next thing of any monetary size that I'd like to have at my farm are some solar panels. Well, a set-up of solar power for use. That would be awesome. I'm not nuts over all this...

I -- like many on this forum -- live on retirement income, some part-time work and have a "larger than most" herd of minis (38). Many are elders (ten 24-29) and having served me well when my farm was young, showing regularly, breeding, etc., etc., so they have earned and are receiving...

Are you SURE its you he wants ????? Last week I had an urgent msg from USPS about an undeliverable certified letter --- I'm CERTAIN of the importance as the email was signed off by a high official of --- ready? ---- FedEx Sounds like an attorney looking for someone to "enrich". FUN !

Yes, there are VERY well known (if you mentioned the names) show winners who have produced dwarves ! It isn't what a breeder wants but, it happens. I have had the opportunity to have seen and handled some young ones and the ONE THING that has been apparent, if there was a question when...

Hmmmm....why doesn't your "farm insurance" cover the dwelling? Or have you asked? Maybe your "farm ins" is just a commercial device to cover the operation & equipment, etc. Not all companies will even offer a farm/multi acreage policy coverage. It has to do with there unintentional...

Buying organic can be expensive -- and an issue for those like Shari, for all the reasons above. Personally, I like to attempt to eat with as few additional chemicals and preservatives as possible. While not "truly and certified" as organic, my veggies are not sprayed with chemicals as I...

WOW !! Now, living on what you would call totally flat land, as well as a climate that does not have the snow and cold winters...long ones. So my question is this -- what/how do you feed these herds all winter? I see a valley in one pic but assume it is also snow laden...? Geesh, I...

Jill, container gardens are a great way to "start" to garden. As Susanne says, start with something you love.....why do the work for nothing? Sorry, we just can't "grow" ready to use vodlka or I'd do it! BUT...a tomato plant is great, green peppers, etc. Very easy for a container. If you...

Don't use mine as much as in past but, they are great. Suggest you buy the oval shape as things like a roast or whole chicken fit into it a little easier. I've got about 6 now, various sizes and shapes.......one old enough that it does not have a removable ceramic insert. It is not often...

Love cheesecake! I tried the Philly tub of "ready to use" cheesecake filling once......opened to taste and never did make a cheesecake. The entire tub was gone within a week and my min-pin can't open the refer door It was good but, gosh couldn't keep that around much. The new dark...

Price is a hold back But, I have wanted a mini Jersey for a long, long time. Actually for a milk cow. You know they are just tooooo cute for "table use". I'd love to go to Mindlin website.......do you have the url? I mean those guys are AWESOME......I'd be thrilled with ANY of them.
