Hmm I didn't think about the benefit of gravel since it'll be cemented later. Thanks for letting me pick your brains

Sorry guys, but I'm going to be picking your brains a lot now. Our move got pushed way up and I'm scrambling to get it together! Anyhow the current barn has nasty dusty sandy crap for a floor. My mare has had a nasty lung infection in the past and I've been advised to avoid dust. We plan to...

Omg. Adding things to my pile of "reasons I'm glad I'm not in to men" lol. I'd have a fit! Of course i was blessed with a baby boy but maybe if I teach him to pee sitting down he'll think that's just the way lol

I used to watch a sweet dog that stunk to high heaven. He turned out to have a skin condition hidden by his fur. They had to keep him clipped and on medication, plus weekly medicated baths.

Omg all I saw was the post about bossy and I've been trying to figure out how it got derailed to Hilary since yesterday! Whoops!

Ahem. I am guilty of show sheen. I am also guilty of white n brite. I may have once bleached my hair white. Anyhow I don't use conditioner anymore. I know, it sounds weird, but that stuff creates a false softness and builds up gunk in your hair. I have very little issue now, and I havent...

Shorthorsemom - Thank you so much, that was really helpful info She's always had really good hooves and they tend to self-trim nicely, so I wanted to keep that up. The dry lot attaches to the barn, so I was going to put her hay in there, but I like the idea of a rubber mat outside. I can see...

Nevermind! Lol. I thought it was in the main forum but I was mistaken.

Gosh no what's wrong with you? Everyone knows that chickens belong outdoors roaming free you chicken abuser lol Very cute I've not seen chickens in blankets before

I got my act together this past month and made some freezer meals as a "bad day backup" for when I was feeling overwhelmed and couldn't think about cooking. Today is one of those days. We are having vegetarian Vindaloo (a kind of curry) made in the slow cooker and served with Jasmine rice that...

Well my mother finally got back to me about this. We are having lasagna (one veggie with white sauce, once traditional) My home made garlic bread, salad, A's whatever creamy pie that I feel like making. Not traditional but we aren't, either lol

This is the first holiday that I haven't planned for! We are doing crock pot Mac and cheese, crock pot garlic potatoes...And...? Lol. I usually cook for my mother but I have no idea what I'm making this year. Hoping she'll let me make my burbon and coke ham!

Oh my! Im afraid to wear my nice jewelry for this reason. My wife and I agreed on titanium rings because we prefer to spend our time out in the garden or with the pony and we wanted something that could take a beating. I haven't worn my sapphire/diamond OR topaz/diamond rings since I was...

The first time we wormed my mare she sucked the whole tube down! Scared us to death! She also took injectable banamine by mouth (vet okd) I think there's something wrong with her lol

I second and third what everyone has said. It's been a while since I worked my mare, but we bought her at 4 months old, and by the next spring we "long lined" her to and from her pasture, through the field, on the big horse trail.. We literally just used lunge lines on her halter since they had...

My mare was like this. We first bitted her (just let her hold it) around her first birthday. She was still iffy until she was three and she wore it at least a few times a week. Someone told me that regular broken bits were hard on minis because the joint often poked the low roof of their mouth...

We are doing well. We went up north for my father in laws funeral so coming hone again was like visiting a sauna. Due to the baby it's been a shamefully long time since I looked in on my pony, but I know she's in good hands and we are having a blast getting plans together for her new home. No...

I think I did a few years ago but I honestly can't remember much, only that we put her on psyllium after. She has literally done it since she was four months old and she's five years this month. She has a particular love for the soupy dirt at the bottom of a puddle. I'll try to get one going...

We are actually going to be able to afford it easily thanks to what FIL left us, but I think it's reflex to choke when I see a high price tag ;) In addition to this project we have two other 3 acre pastures to seed and fence and a barn to renovate so the whole thing makes my head spin! But I'm...

Yikes! I just calculated the price of all of this and I think I may be sick haha I found a great local price on pea gravel at least. And it will be very worth it to give our lady a nice home. I'm getting some great feedback from you guys, thank you all so much!
