    tail bags

    Ditto to the tube socks. I always used those for the full sized horses. Just cut 4 strips on the top, braid the clean tail, stuff it in & tie it through the braid. We don't have any sock laying around this year, so if you have any sewing skills at all, it's pretty easy to make a colorful tube...

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    So I had a really fun weekend too! Yesterday, we got home from an out-of-town wedding, went straight to the barn and checked the boys over & gave them their breakfast. Then it started raining so we went home instead of spending more time out there. About an hour & a half later we got a phone...

    Spring cleaning part 1 is finished. The Tack Room

    Why is it that I can clean out a barn/tackroom/trailer all day long, but shudder at the thought of cleaning the house?! Your tackroom looks FANTASTIC! Well done!

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    Ok. He is on an antibiotic & buts. He seems to be doing very well, no more fever or breathing troubles. Hopefully it was just the heat Friday! The vet I use is fabulous with horses, but she's a one woman show, that makes it hard to work with her at times. The local clinic is....... Interesting...

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    Well, ended up with a 103 temp. I'm freaking out, the vet doesn't seem to care. Finally get ahold of my regular vet, she's 3 hours away so said to get banimine from local vet. Go there, they won't give it to me until they see him again but the gal that came out Tuesday is tied up, would tomorrow...

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    Well, swelling is localized right where (in the side picture) bump is. It doesn't seem to be close to the eyes or any closer to the nostrils. I have clipped his head & neck, & he stays inside with a neck warmer on overnight. The days are about 68-72 in the shade, and a lot warmer in the sun...

    Anything goes -If you cannot take the heat Do Not Read.

    Anyone ever heard Merle's song "Rainbow Stew"? Sorry, total squirrel moment, but the lyrics make me think... Anyways, is it too late? Will we always feel like no matter what our voices aren't heard? Will we always ask ourselves just WHO determines what we are told/how we are told the so called...

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    Good news! I had the new vet on staff come out today, she still likes me haha! She thinks he had his nose where it didn't belong and it really is a kick. I'll be watching for excessive discharge around the eyes and nose, and any changes in appetite or behavior, but all seems well. She said that...

    Swollen nose? And now a dog attack...

    Yesterday was a fun day, NOT! I went out to the barn after work only to find that my little naughty boys managed to get out of their pen and into the pasture with another boarder's large mares. I assume (by the hair left on the fence) that they somehow crawled over the hog wire mesh, under the...
