    Need Hay??

    Amount you get on a trailer depends on how it's baled, who loads it and size of trailer. A typical 52' semi trailer can get from 350-500. Obviously you want all you can get as the cost to transport is same....no matter how many. For me, here on E Coast the trip is 1300-1400 miles each way...

    How are your horses doing in this heat?

    In addition to ALL THE THINGS we mention above.........the next insult is going to be the huge increase in feed and hay prices due to the drought, floods, etc. Sadly, this is why so many animals are being given away and/or abandoned. Couple all this with the general economy and STRESS is a...

    Exercise Equipment -- What Do You Have

    Jill, loving to USE it is key!!! I have a few small pieces one stairstepper, one "all around" use -- switch out the pieces and do different things like, row, push, pull, etc. Will NOT help if you do not use it -- -- sadly. My farm affords me a good deal of walking as it's about...

    Got a deal today I think!

    GREAT deal. Put a mat under the area where the horse paws. Will keep from having holes, not necessarily stop the pawing

    Breeding smaller stallion to taller mare....

    My breeding stand was of wood. There was a section cut out in center of one edge, leaving wood on each side -- like a boat dock, step off on either side. I had a very small piece nailed on top of the eadge she backed up to, so that there was about a 1/2" tall lip where stally stood just...

    Anyone watching the Casey Anthony trial?

    I agree will all and add that the duct tape over her mouth/nose is just not something that you would find in an accidental drowning. Plus, if the child truly did drown, then the first thought would be call 911 !!! (At least for most people) That would have resulted in no charge as an...

    Anyone tried the "Ahh Bra" or "Genie Bra"?

    Wooohooo! I've been watching the thread as I had seen the infomercial one day and thought about ordering BUT---seemed too good to be true I really prefer a bra with "less" to it and this one is broad on the back, little higher in front, etc., than I like. That said, the underwires are...

    Have you ever raised chickens for meat? OY!

    I love the fresh meat that has been raised without chemicals/hormones! I've kept a flock in yrs past, mostly the large layers that are dual purpose and butchered a few. One yr I got a group of "pullets" that turned out to be straight runs -- running mostly roosters! They decided that...

    No water or electricity at barn

    invest in a couple of the water jugs with screw on caps that you can fill at house and take to barn....hose may be great now but, come winter these will be needed, plus a sled/wagon/etc. Downspout & gutters on barn roof? collect water. Do you have a generator? Many of us have them for...

    Straw Bale Gardens. Who have them going???

    I've set mine in place but, not planted a thing yet. Hope to do that within next few days... ? Kim, yours appear to have dirt--or something dark-- on top. What/how did you plant? Closer pic? I thought that you dug into them and placed starts but, maybe you put soil on top and used...

    Lessons Learned

    I am so very sorry for your losses and the stress and dispair you are certainly experiencing now -- and for a long, long time. But I commend you for bringing some of this very important side of such disasters to everyone's attention. We somehow "never think it wil be us". A video is...

    Fresh strawberries and Greek yogurt

    The Greek yogurts are DOUBLE the protein of "regular" yogurts......great for you!! The Fage is the #1 sseller in Greece and they have opened a plant in NY for USA production. Fage has live bacterias in it, good for tummy PLUS Marzetti makes a veggie dip with greek yogurt, so you have an...

    different opinions

    I sure can vouch for this one They can hand you a lead on a horse that JUST won a similar class and that horse may not respond to you at all. Try dead last fir your efforts....... While it possibly isn't this way for all amateurs, and can be unfair to others in class if not, most often...

    Something I've wondered about for years

    I'm with Freeland in that most states will allow purchase & ownership of guns under certain conditions...drugs are more controlled and limited to those who can buy them, etc. This is all for good reason, we know. It would be extremely hard to do but, if an animal was so obviously injured the...

    SLEEP< SLEEP

    I've been lurking on mare stare at several of the mares forum members have said were "close" hoping to catch a birthing.....I have not bred mares for a couple yrs and like the "foal fiz". Soooo, since yours were not doing the deal, I checked more cams. At Fikes I noticed 4 stalls on the...

    When Life Just Doesn't Make Sense

    When we face this type of crisis it is all about "survival & preservation" There are times when we need to resort to every cost cutting, $ saving & stretching practice we know. While you may not want to, you should consider applying for federal food card (we send trillions overseas, when we...

    What could this be?

    With aging the intestinal tract changes and they cannot readily absorb some nutrients. A good senior feed will address this with added supplements for digestion and age related issues. So this might help, might not. Don't know if the blanketing is usual for her but, any chance that had an...

    What to feed a breeding stallion?

    IMO this just very much depends on the personality of the individual stallion, as well as his exposure to mares and other stallions. I've had some who had to have food in front of them 24/7, others were not nearly as hard to keep in weight. Some just work themselves into a sweat at the sound...

    Virginia....

    costs of fencing and repairs to out buildings & such, the risk that the owner will decide to put the place up for sale & it gets sold out from under the renters A lease supercedes a sale.....that is, if property is sold the lease is still valid and must be honored. Fencing/repairs are issues...
