You are remembering this incorrectly. It was $1 per hide to SALT them. Huge difference. You can salt about 30-40 hides per hour.

Someone asked where we have failed. I think this news article shows where we are failing as a society as a whole even with no guns involved: http://www.wltx.com/story/news/local/2015/10/26/spring-valley-high-school-incident/74645568/ The girl is clearly in the wrong. But the officer takes this so ov...

Chis, that color hurts my eyes! Beautiful!!!

I hope you at least get to sit out on the porch enjoying rays of sunshine! It does sound like a positive update overall!

Did our parents not realize how horse crazy we were as children? I had a goat I rode, got a cow and rode it and FINALLY parents understood and bought me a horse. But what took them so long?

Really cute!

angela9823

Chisamba... I love the different perspective you just put on this. I'll have to think about that with my mom and others around me that are guilty. I think in some of the above scenarios though, it is just the people do set greater priority on shopping trips etc etc and just don't think twice about w...

Haven't you ever had a horse step sideways and catch the edge of the opposite shoe and loosen or pull it? Actually, no. I never have. That was my only horse that ever lost shoes. I rarely shod my horses though and never have since pulling her shoes. She's never stepped on herself either, never forg...

I can't blame my mom's being tardy EVERYWHERE on mental illness or drugs. I was responding to carpevita's sister's behavior with the meal. I know that some are chronically early or late and I don't find that particularly odd, but not letting your family eat the food they brought because it had to b...

Sure they can! My mare pulled hers off in the mud all the time. I think what happens though, is that another hoof slips and ends up on the shoe and pulls it off. I've stepped in same mud that can take a tight fitting boot off a person though. It wouldn't be hard to believe a shoe could be ripped of...

Since my dog also eats them occasionally - I asked my vet and he said they were not toxic and will see them eat the fruit too. But here was a vet online saying they weren't toxic: http://www.justanswer.com/dog-health/7s9ar-fig-leaves-fruit-bearing-tree-toxic-dogs.html#re.v/150/ My horses will eat th...

Why is it that shoes come off willy nilly when you want them to stay on, but when you want to remove them you can't get them off whatsoever? I don't think they can fling a shoe off, nor can mud suck them off, Sure they can! My mare pulled hers off in the mud all the time. I blame it on the person p...

I can't blame my mom's being tardy EVERYWHERE on mental illness or drugs. She was just awarded a Daisy Award because she is an outstanding RN and they have to take random drug tests. Her boyfriend on the other hand.... had a stroke years ago and swears he only smokes marijuana to get rid of residual...

Oh yes, I do also trim about 30 horses a month but it is not on a regular type basis. I do some one weekend, some another etc. It isn't day in day out.

angela9823

I also do crossfit; it is the only exercising I've ever done that I've stuck with -three years this past September though I took off for a little over six months this year due to traveling and only just got back into four days a week. I have my own gym at home but I am also a member of a crossfit gy...

Well...I had a similar thing happen last night. My stepson's grandparents come in every year for his would be bday (died when he was 21- would have been 30 tomorrow). They never tell us exactly when they will get here or when they will leave. We don't skip any plans we already had and just go on abo...

I live in midlands of SC. We had record flooding here a few weeks ago so our trees have no real color. Maybe later?

Teresa, do let us know where that was. Stunning photos from everyone! I hope to visit NC mountains this coming weekend to see some of the colors!

angela9823

Does he do the gait in the field at all? If not, I'd suspect something pain related and that he's not gaited at all. When my mare was first diagnosed as navicular, she'd pace on lunge line or under saddle in the walk. I've seen many other horses do this since learning that this could be a pain issue...

angela9823

Chantal, hugs to you again! I think I would have left - told them you had plans or something. My mom is the exact same way and it drives us nuts! My sister and I go Christmas shopping together every year. We made it a annual event to go on Black Friday - normally to Minneapolis - Mall of America (we...

Oh, that's too bad - he's quite handsome.

Probably sold, but maybe they're just bad about returning calls?

That was a handsome boy and priced really well.

I like the paint too. Cute.

My sister has a Cross Fit gym and I think I'm going to give it a try when the kids' fall sports are over and I have some more time. I'm a wee bit scared. LOL. It is sooo addictive!!! I feel really good after the workout every day. Maybe it is because I've survived another one. Just kidding!! Our gy...

Similar to khall. South Carolina. I have two horses and one cow on more than 30 acres - about 22 acres in pasture. I haven't fed grain of any kind or any other "feed" except carrots to keep them coming up over the last three years. Before that, I was only feeding two cups a day per horse o...

I also really enjoy teaching kids to wakeboard. They are so amazing! What took me years to learn - they get in just one or two sessions. My best friend is a fabulous driver, which also is key to teaching wakeboarding. Between the two of us we can get just about any kid up on a wakeboard in one sess...

Besides riding and caring for my farm, I enjoy wakeboarding. I also slalom ski, but wakeboarding has been my water sport of choice for the past 15 years. Like riding, I am a slow learner, but with steady practice and determination, I am finally starting to be a respectable wakeboarder. I am very fo...

I work to pay for all my hobbies. I do get to work from home much of the time but then have to travel a lot during certain times of the year. It has been novel to not have to travel for work since June. This is the longest stint I've had not traveling for some time. I love to go camping. Don't care ...

Always on the lookout for new music, so I was wondering what you all are listening to these days. I've recently become completely and utterly in love with Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats. Slightly unreasonably so. This was the... gateway song... that I heard on the radio, "S.O.B" ...

DH's business uses Facebook (deer processing). We've got one post that had over 3 million views. It still gets us talked about. The interesting thing is that it has gotten me business when I've brought that post up in the right places - for instance going after another similar business. DH has an em...

Are you sure this isn't a balance issue for you? Are you hindering her in anyway going up hill? Behind the canter for instance? Is she out of breath when she stops? Does the saddle move and possibly pinch her? Since canter is a weak gait for her, why not start by putting up some small jumps for her ...

I definitely think the hindend comes from the sire. The hocks are set way back on both of them. He is sooo long legged! But general impression overall, I like him. I think I said before that I know a horse that looks just like him. His hocks are set very similar - same coloring. He's a nice mover an...

I'm another one that rarely cross ties. I will do it occasionally. I'm also going to second blocker ties. But if you decide to use break away cross ties instead, please make certain you hang them correctly!! So many people hang them backwards (and I was one of them!!!).

(So good to see you, Paws!!!)
