Makes perfect sense, thanks.

Smearing molasses on the end of the syringe is brilliant. Thanks

More good ideas. Thanks. I have been trying the various suggestions that have been made, as each one seems to last for about 2 doses, then he gets smart to the meds being administered in yet another way. I will keep changing things up as necessary. Only 23 more days to go!

I have 2 cams in my barn and 3 around my property. They do require being plugged into outlets. I put a wifi booster in a window in my house which is closest to my barn so that the cameras can pick up the wifi from my house. I have been using them for 5 yrs. and I love them. I am not tech...

Welcome from Connecticut. Your little one is adorable.

Another great suggestion and again something I would have never thought of. Thank you !

I'd never heard of this company or product. Thank You

Wow, thank you for all the suggestions. I will go down the list until I find one that works well. Another 25 days, UGH! We'll figure it out. Thanks again.

Thank you for the suggestion, I will try it. I have a question about the amount of molasses. I'm always worried about giving too much of anything that is high in sugar content. How much molasses do you think you use? Tsp ? Tbsp? I just don't want this youngster to end up with laminitis...

I was just wondering if anyone could share suggestions as to how to give a powdered medication to my mini. My boy Cooper has been diagnosed with Lyme's Disease and he really hates taking the prescribed Doxycycline twice a day. The Doxy comes as a powder which is apple flavored. You would...

Mini Fiddle Farm

I don't know if you're asking this question to someone specifically, but if not, in addition to keeping horses, I keep bees, turn wood (make bowls on a lathe), I make stained glass lamps and boxes and I like to travel. The horses and bees keep me the busiest and I fit the rest in when I can.

How about Fiddlehead Farm. Makes me smile. Fiddlehead Ferns are very pretty to look at and good to eat! Good luck with naming it. My farm is Red Pony Farm, as my first riding horse was, you guessed it, a red pony!

I can imagine that working the polls is a very boring endeavor, but a valued service to our communities. I'm sure your appreciated for your helpfulness. I have never done it myself, but for the last 6 years or so (took a break this election cycle) I have gone knocking on doors for days on end...

Fall temperatures will finally be here in northwest Connecticut in about 2 days or so, which means it will be in the 40's and 50's. We have had a very unusual fall so far, with temps well into the high 70's! It's been crazy warm. Most people would probably be happy with such high temps, but I...

Yes, I did mean 4 lbs. I only have 4 minis. I watch them use the salt daily and like I said, only one horse has almost completed the block in his stall. I put the salt blocks in their stalls when I got the boys (horses) last October and they still have some left. My girls (donks) also don't...

How lucky are you to have had that interaction with the high school student. It made me smile and tear up at the same time. I find it amazing that sometimes we are fortunate enough to have that special animal that is a perfect match with us. I can honestly say that I have loved every pet I...

Hi, I use a 4 lb. Red Trace Mineralized Salt Brick ($4 each). I don't know how many minis you have, but I have 4 (2 donks, 2 horses) and they each have a salt lick in their stalls and then there is one in their outside stall. Each of the blocks have lasted over a year now, but I did notice...

Yes, I protect the hives with an electric fence with the capacity to go about 50 miles. It is wrapped around my apiary only 5 times. I bet it gives a heck of a jolt!

I am also on a sole journey with regard to owning horses in my household. I won't burden family members with them, if they really aren't up for the experience. But, with regard to giving or selling them to someone else, that's a tough one. Realistically, in my head I know that there may be...
