http://www.stillwaterboise.com I can't wait. I have been battling some chronic pain issues. No one thus far has figured out the exact problem although I have my theories. But part of the problem is that it affects my ability to lay flat on my back which is my preferred sleep position so sleep kind o...

I ordered them too. I got mine off of Amazon and out of 24 reviews, only 2 were less than 5 stars. Mine get here on Wednesday. If I like them, I may get a pair for the cats. I think they will love them.

I am so glad he got to continue teaching in his own way. Sarcomas are nasty and that is interesting that this particular one has not been charaterized in horses before.

Thank you for the update and the beautiful picture.

Susan

Kyra's Mom

She is lovely. Get us more pics as you can. I need my beautiful hairy red haired horse fix.

Lucky geese.

Susan

Kyra's Mom

Yes. Thanks for the review. I just saw those today in a Schneider's catalog. Sounds like they need to go on my wish list.

Susan

Kyra's Mom

Very nice. I love the pic of the daytime moon.

Thanks for sharing.

Susan

Kyra's Mom

Yes you had better because you know this post is now worthless without pictures

Congratulations and glad she arrived safe and sound.

YIPPEE!

I have looked around...before I put in what I have and got professional advice. Southern Idaho is actually desert. It is hard to keep even the shade areas consistently moist. So although it is shady, it still gets hot and dry. Maybe I need to look more to xeriscape plants due to the climate. Previou...

Kyra's Mom

I sympathize. Southern Idaho is off all the national haulers' regular routes so they just don't come there. We usually have to find a smaller regional hauler...which won't help you from Florida to Virginia. Jingles that you find the right one. I did luck out and got Nationwide to bring my mare from ...

Kyra's Mom

WheresMyWhite...yep, it is trees. The soil is very compacted and laced with roots so I am sure that doesn't help. The ground cover is doing it's thing. But, I do have a spot in back that is building shade and the hellebores may do well back there. Previous owner tried columbine but once it is hot he...

Kyra's Mom

Yes. Hellebores. Good to know on the toxicity part :shock:...I will wear gloves. I haven't invested yet. I will probably buy plants. I saw them in the J & P catalog and they advertise a Royal Heritage variety. Just looking for something to spark up this patch as what I have put in already is rat...

I have coin laundry close by. I always get the gross stuff off with a pressure wand and then usually do 2 cycles. They have never ejected me because of my blankets. My washer is big enough for the lightweight blanket and rain sheets but I take the others to the coin laundry.

Anybody have Lenten Roses? I have a shady spot and none of the perennials I put in last year were doing really great. Hard to say...they might pop back this year better than last. It's hard to find color for shade areas and the Lenten Roses SOUND great...bug resistant, deer resistant, drought tolera...

Kyra's Mom

What about getting a follow-up X-ray. Hopefully you didn't do anything to the hardware but it can happen. My Dad actually bent the hardware they fused his back with. Not sure how he pulled that off. Jingles for a quick resolution. I have gotten to the point (read older :P ) that I am so intolerant o...

Kyra's Mom

I really like her. Very kind eye. I 'm with you all the way on the kind of gaits some of us need. We must be gentle on our bodies

I agree on seeing a lot of Morgan in her. (I board at a Morgan farm).
Fingers crossed on the PPE.

I use the Camp Dry. I buy 6-7 cans at a time. It takes about 1 1/2 cans to do my girls' 72-74 blankets. 2 for sure for the larger sizes. I have never had it fail.

Kyra's Mom

Mountaineer...ahh the lovely (NOT) inversion. I think we sent it your way. Sorry. Hopefully it will pass soon.

DJR--jingling for a short cold snap.

My condolences. I too am glad she is finally free.

My Brenderup technically has a dressing room...the tack room wall will move back but I don't use it. I didn't order that feature it was just what was on the trailer that was in stock and it had been on the lot a while so I basically didn't pay for it. I use a head divider and that obstructs the spac...

Kyra's Mom

I don't ice either. Do a good gradual warm-up and appropriate cool down then turn her loose...as in she is out and has movement available 24/7. I think this really helps to avoid many, many orthopedic issues. I hose her legs and massage them with the water stream on a really hot day when I hose her ...

Kyra's Mom

I believe it was in Equus a while back although a quick google didn't find it. There was an article about music in the barn. If I remember right, the horses didn't like Rock and preferred classical. Sorry...I can't remember how they determined that whether they observed behavior or actually checked ...

Kyra's Mom

My threshold is rising all the time. I rode at 15F this year and wondered was in the he** I was doing (there was a decent wind chill).
20F and sunny with no wind is OK. I have no feel in the saddle with multiple layers of clothes and a bulky jacket on. I'm 60...not fun anymore.

For the (lazy) cooking illiterate...what is a Sous Vide?

Susan

Kyra's Mom

I got my (initial) projects done. Sock drawer sorted by color and many thrown out (permanently dirty, holes or singles). Oh I keep a few for tack cleaning. Underwear drawer...same (except by color...I don't usually worry too much and I don't wear white pants so not an issue). I opened all my space b...

Thank you for being a wonderful steward for him for the last 8 years and 2 days. I remember when you got him and the horrid condition he was in. He certainly had no more to worry about for the remainder of his days.

You should know when he kicks into gear. It is very obvious. It comes from behind...not what is going on in front (although eventually you will get more amplitude in front as they get stronger and the balance becomes more consistent). The tempo doesn't change, the steps get much longer. If you are p...

Chisamba :mrgreen: . Bull terriers look like such hams. I let my two beagles (RIP) on the bed. Queen size bed and just one human. Plenty of room for me and 2 beagles...you would think. Turbo was gentlemanly and kept to the other side of the bed. Peanut...she would lay against me and any time I moved...

What a lovely girl. I love the tabby varieties.

I have a torbie and a tabby.

I have a project for the weekend. I moved about a year and a half ago. I put all my bed linens in space bags. Guess what? A year and a half later, I still have 3 space bags that haven't been opened??? I found a fabric recycler and there are several drop off bins in the area so I am keeping 2 sets of...

Kyra's Mom

With my mare, I used to have to "load the gun". I had to wind her up. Ask for medium, get speed/quickening?, back to working trot, ask again, get speed/quickening, back to working. It usually took about 4 tries to get her to fire in a proper lengthening/medium. I just didn't accept the inc...

She looks like she has grown about 2 inches of horn since her accident.

Yes, I imagine she will be most unhappy when she goes back outside.

MacGyver :lol: . I watched this program religiously in the day. That program really did get me to think and look around at what I have on hand and what 'I" could do about it. It may not be a fancy repair but gets by in a pinch. If I want good looks AND function, I hire a handy man or appropriat...

I have worked on occasion with a 'western' person for several years. She has worked with some dressage trainers and very much incorporates those principals in her western work and vice versa. She also works on Doma Vaquero and garrocha work. I was just thinking of going and getting me a pole to star...

Kyra's Mom

I absolutely LOVE riding in the snow though. Me too. Unfortunately, we only have about 1-2 inches of snow over rock hard frozen ground. We have an indoor but with the cold, dry air, the indoor is a dust bowl. So, I have been walking my horse in the outdoor arena. I figured I would try it if for not...

At 6 months old, I wouldn't worry about specific "kitten" food. All good cat food should be enough protein for a kitten. I also feed a commercial raw (RadCat) mixed with canned. I have finally found some foods that both cats are eating consistently. They love the raw but will leave the can...

I echo everyone else with the superlatives. Beautiful...WOW.

I would remove the tail flap. I don't think they are that necessary on a blanket.

Definitely pursue other opinions. You are probably going to need to find someone that does hip arthroscopic procedures and I don't think they are particularly common. There has been a bunch of threads over on the COTH about arthroscopic surgery for hip issues like torn labrums. My take--it is a diff...

Gosh...how have I been lucky...twice. And these, my first 2 of the feline persuasion...and Oscar is very needy and more like a dog but he isn't destructive :D .

Nothing like you guys on/near the coast are getting but I am watching my horse to make sure she doesn't start growing moss :lol: . This is desert. I think I have only seen the sun once in the last 2 weeks...and then the wind was blowing 25-30 mph so cold :P. Soggy and wet in the valley. The ski area...
