132 is a bunch of big birds! I imagine they are leaving behind a bunch of poo, also. Ick!

A service like Dressage Extensions bit testing center could save you some money if you end up trying different bits and don't have many available in your local circle of friends.

Maybe organic dairies (or most of their customers) believe that non-homogenized milk is more natural/more healthy to consume?

There does still seem to be some debate.

Last night I dug out our stone bowls and made Dolsot Bibimbap (without beef).

A march is being proposed for April 15 to pressure Trump to release his tax returns.

That was such a tragic day. I lift a glass to the memory of all those fine horses.

Canyon

Wow - that is gorgeous! I love the rosettes transformed into flowers.

Canyon

Susan, everything was looking really grim after our ice storm last week. Then, unexpectedly, a warm wind broke our temperature inversion, and all the snow and ice melted away pronto! I hope you guys get a similar break in the weather soon. Ice is so scary for man and beast.

Canyon

I feel your pain! I thought I had Morton’s neuroma on my left foot. The pain got to the point where I could barely walk. My daughter is a PT; I asked her about my foot when I saw her at Thanksgiving. She did some diagnostics and didn’t think I had a neuroma but needed to get my metatarsals spread ou...

Thanks for the offer, but I have plenty already.

Have you checked with any nearby schools to see if they could use them for sports teams?

Canyon

Cross them. If the coupler comes off the ball, the trailer tongue will be supported by the chains instead of digging into the pavement.

Canyon

Local law enforcement now is telling people to stay home and off the roads. The school district decided on a two-hour delayed start, and then decided Whoopsie, we're sending students home early at 1:50. We usually don't get ice storms here.

Canyon

Maybe a small cooler would be more rugged. Or, see if the Goodwill has a bargain Lil Oscar cooler?

Canyon

After a low of 18 last night, it is now raining; lovely - freezing rain! It's not too bad yet on top of the snow, but concrete surfaces and roads are ice skating rinks.

Canyon

Now that’s an interesting idea! Does the stick-um last a while? Does it build up and make the gloves useless eventually? I bought these neoprene fishing gloves during their Black Friday sale for $7.50. They offer a nice grip on tools and are much warmer than I expected; I was out feeding this AM whe...

Canyon

I hear you! I live in the banana belt of Colorado, and it's been below zero the last two mornings. Our snow from Christmas did melt before Thursday's storm - 1/2" predicted but 6" actual on the ground. Snow/rain mix predicted tonight through Monday. Ugh. I'm glad my senior horse seems pret...

Vulture update: they're still around. I named one of them Stan but I can't :lol: tell them apart, so now they're all named Stan. They appear to be attracted by fire; I was burning some fallen tree debris in a bonfire at the back of my property and they were circling hopefully for hours. They are pr...

I smile every time I see photos of you and your pretty mare. I love her "paint job." All the best to you and your adventures with her this year!

I have Hoppin' John cooking in my Instant Pot, in a belated salute to the New Year.

Canyon

We had two other couples here for NYE. They brought appetizers, salad and dessert; DH smoked a turkey; I made bacon-wrapped dates, stuffing muffins, green beans amandine, sliced oven roasted potatoes, rustic loaf, chutney, and cranberry sauce. We amazingly made it to 1:30 am. More telling is that th...

Also check Adams Horse Supplies; they have Amigo blankets on sale. The closeout colors seem to be really good deals.

Another vote for Cuddl Duds.

SmartPak says they do free returns as long as item is in like-new condition. Has anyone ever bought, used, and returned a bit from there?

Canyon

I would worry, that even though she's a mini, if she gave a mighty heave-ho to the tack room door, it might pop open. I don't want to think of the consequences of that! How about buckling her in, in your passenger seat? :lol: What speed will you be driving? I don't know if driving 60 mph means she w...

Cuisinart has recalled blades for certain food processors - info on which models here. I just registered for a free replacement blade.

The weather has been strangely raw, for the desert; good soups seem necessary for dinner. Last night was butternut squash soup with ginger. I roasted/carmelized the onion and garlic with the squash before pureeing with the chicken broth.

Canyon

I am reviving this thread from a year ago to report that I made a cheesecake in my Instant Pot. The results are amazing - smooth, creamy, delicious! It is easily the best cheesecake I have ever made. And because I had to use a 7" pan, we are not faced with eating cheesecake for the next month! ...

I have the Voltaire and love it. I would say the fit around the arms is snug. Elastic panels run under the armpits to the lower seam. Separate elastic inserts run behind the arms up to a yoke across the back, which allow for good arm movement. You might want to size up to wear a thick sweater undern...

Canyon

Yes - great news!

Canyon

I'm so sorry to read about all your losses.

The TLRB, TLGB, and your place in general look very nice - you have right to be proud of what y'all have accomplished in six months!

Canyon

Last night I made a spicy tomato shrimp soup and a rustic/no knead, baked-in-a-Dutch-oven bread. It was a nice meal on our coldest night of the year. And it used up quite a few of the tomatoes that have been ripening inside after I picked them, prior to our first freeze a few weeks ago.

Canyon

I usually don't blanket because I am lazy, our winters are not too bad, I don't clip, the young horse tends to Houdini out of his blanket (usually tearing off a strap or two in the process), and "no blankets" are easier on the person caring for the horses when I am out of town. But I do bl...

Canyon

Hurray for your good news!

Canyon

I'm glad your handsome herd was so cooperative!

Maybe you could install your hot wire on extension insulators, halfway up the posts, to keep Fergus from rubbing on the fence - if you decide you need a hot wire? We use screws rather than nails on our fence.

Canyon

They are very pretty birds!

I hope that your back heals quickly.

Canyon

You have my prayers as you start your treatment and positive thoughts for your healing. Best of everything to you, Kounter Kanter, dogs, kitties, and your family.

"Do I know you from the internet?"

Very cool meeting indeed!

AirsAboveNC - do you know of a secret shortcut from Charlotte to Tryon? Google maps says that is 2+ hours. Which is too bad, since my brother lives there and I'm sure he and his DW would love to host all of us! :lol: Hendersonville NC is 30 minute away and is a cute little city. But, I seem to remem...

Yes, some friends and I want to see Hamlet, but it is not scheduled yet at any local movie theater. Said friends do go the live streams of the Met Opera, but that does not interest me.

DJR - those are some amazing costumes. I can't imagine what you will come up with to top all of them!

Dapple Field, is the deerskin wearing out or the cloth material?

Polar fleece seems to last forever, so it would probably be fine to use. I have no experience using nubuck.

Canyon

I like the looks of your new project! I am sure he will continue to bloom under your management. You know, there have been mustangs that become dressage stars. JB (Jail Bird) Andrew competed through Intermediate II. Just saying...hope you win the lottery! One of our local young riders started off on...

Canyon

Yes, I usually sew the fleece patch on the inside. I have done a few on the outside, like in the shape of a star, if it seemed like a good place to have a bit of fun.

Canyon

Gosh, I'm sorry to read this. He is a beautiful horse and clearly used to enjoy being ridden. This decision must be so hard...Hugs to you both.

Canyon

I patch breeches (and jeans and fly sheets) with thin polar fleece. Fleece stretches if you use a zigzag stitch, is soft against the skin, and is available in many colors.
