OMG!!! This is the funniest thing I have read in a long time. The kids keep asking what is wrong with me sitting here by myself laughing hysterically. I think so funny because so true!! I see myself in so many of these posts. Mine: ~I will run outside completely naked to get something from...

I'm talking about your horses that don't generally leave the farm. Not necessarily your show horses as they probably get trimmed more often. My farrier spends quite a bit of time at "school" at Texas A&M and has been a professional farrier for better than 10 years. He says that the experts...

Remember this: You are an INTELLIGENT, STRONG, BEAUTIFUL, CARING, TALENTED woman!!!!!!!! You will get through this. If you cant handle having him around, tell him not to come over. If he doesn't need "things" to be happy tell him you would be glad to sell his stuff and see that the money was...

WAY TO GO!!! I know how you feel, there's nothing like it. These little horses are so wonderful aren't they? Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Kely

You bet it absolutely matters!!!!!!!!!!! Anytime you are recognized by an association it is an award and an acknowledgement of all of your hard work and time. Anyone who says it doesn't matter is just jealous because they have been unable to acheive what you have. Congratulations and don't...

That is AWESOME, INCREDIBLE, OUTSTANDING AND EVERY OTHER WONDERFUL WAY THERE IS TO SAY THIS!! You should be very, very, very proud of what you have accomplished!!! I work at a local community college and have worked at a local high school and I see so many kids who don't have the first clue...

Personally, if she were mine, I would call her a strawberry roan until I found out for sure with color testing. Kelly

Can anyone tell me what to look for to indicate impending lambing in ewes? I have raised horses of all sizes for years and am trying to apply some of that to the sheep but wondered if there were any other tips or things to look for. Thank you in advance Kelly

We're ready, hubby has been on point for 2 days waiting for it. Kelly

aww-they are sooooooo cute!! Guess Gracie was just going to do things on her terms. Glad they are getting along now. Kelly

O.K. what I am getting from all of your posts is that there is a giant conspiracy perpetrated by the government targeting all small breeders of horses in order to eliminate them from participating in the joy of owning animals? I did not read the site when it talked about ear tagging horses and...

O.K. - After all the posts last night I got concerned that I had missed something so I went to the USDA website and looked up the NAIS. I read everything (and there was alot) they had regarding premises identification, animal identification and animal tracing. Nowhere did I see anything...

I would sure like to know how an animal can be "traced in hours to the producer" without any identification. We may buy several groups of all black calves from 2-3 different sale barns and they all come home into the same feedlot. How could anyone distinguish where any given calf came from...

Since he has a good diet, my first thought is it is probably as much weather damage as anything, sun, wind, cold, dry air etc... I have always had good luck with Absorbine Show Sheen. It is expensive but it works. Spray it on and soak the mane and tail and leave it to dry. It will condition...

We always stayed out of the way unless we did not see 2 hooves coming first. Remember, every time you stick your hand in the birth canal, you are introducing bacteria and increasing the chance for infection. Even if you wear a glove and lube up first, your hand passes through all the urine and...

I am going to try very hard to keep from sounding as furious as I am about several things in this post. First my husband and I produce cattle and sheep as well as have a few horses as pets. The comparison to a sex offender is apalling. Don't EVER lump me or my husband in the same category as...

Bar L's Bright Beginning? Last known to be in North Dakota. He is a 28" bay overo stallion aka "Bright Eyes" Just want to know that he has a good home with lots of girls. Thank you for any information. Kelly

I have 2 children ages 4 yrs and 5 months so I have no free time for hobbies but that's o.k. When I do have any time I am cleaning the house doing chores or on the computer, sometimes it's 11:00 at night before I can do anything "for myself" Way back when, I loved photography and still do. I...

Sad as this is to say, my first thought was it was done on purpose. Since all the slaughter houses have been shut down, people are turning their horses loose when they get old or can no longer take care of them or for whatever reason they don't want them or can't keep them anymore. I know the...

That is gorgeous!! I have one on my right hip, a small horse head and neck. At my sisters bachelorette party me and another bridesmaid got tatoos. I told my mom right away but didn't tell my dad until about 3 months later when he was telling us that he was giving his sister-in-law a bad time...
