I don't know whether to giggle at this picture or say "aawwwwwhhhh" so I did both. Very adorable!!

angela9823

Very strange. Perhaps they think that being schooled by a trainer is the big pay off? But really...the horse is schooled once a week? And then possibly ruined five days a week after that? I do know someone that tried that. The owner of the horse wizened up to it fast. Trainer just didn't see what s...

oh most doctors / systems see around that. I was warned that on my "yearly exam" that bringing up something like that changes it to a non-routine visit. It is one thing if they find something, like a heart murmur, its another thing with "oh by the way about these spots" If THEY ...

Don't high deductible plans include basic care? In other words, plan a yearly checkup and when doc asks how you are doing generally, tell them about the rash.

angela9823

When was the last time the horse was trimmed and how often? What I'm seeing is very long/low toes - actually overall the whole hoof is really low but due to weak heels. This horse could easily be ouching around because the heels are moving too much. There doesn't SEEM to be any integrity in the back...

What a freak accident! And I hope the good that comes is someone else gets to do the outside work while you stay toasty warm inside the next two months!

I read an article yesterday that said the neighbors close to the land the Hammonds burned brought the argument back before the Federal court because they feared for their homes in that fire. IF that is true, the Federal courts did not just look over an old case in the ruling. Instead, it was brought...

Yes, i did read that. hope the droplet i gave helps, but i also hope it gets used for food or mortgage and not for homeschool. My husband was let go after eighteen years at the same company, just before christmas, with no severance package, so I know what its like to wonder where the mortgage payme...

I see that kind of tucking pretty regularly on horses foundering on the frontends but especially more so when they are more off on one front foot but still not comfortable on the other. If the horse moves like this pretty regularly, she's going to be sore over the rear too. She's constantly cramping...

angela9823

Can you take photos of her feet? She looks lamantic to me. If so, they can be a little more off on one front foot than the other but she doesn't look too comfortable on either foot.

Koolkat expressed it so well. Hugs to Quelah and Freeway's buddies!

Boston must have some kind of great signage. I've been on many a limited access road which gives no warning at all about what lane you need to be in. It is so effing frustrating. The one exception was Baltimore which had huge lovely graphics of exactly what was happening ahead in every lane. I gave...

I'm going to admit to not being the biggest SB fan, however, that boy really is lovely. He would still not be my type as I do find the neck issue challenging for ME but he is gorgeous boy.

I bought birthday cards at a Walgreens today and TWO!!!!!! of my completely valid credit cards were denied, probably because of the ERI#@$*&Y%(*%&)#( %&#$ darned embedded chip technology crap that has slowed our checkout lines to a crawl. And THIS is why we didn't roll out EMV before th...

By the way, how far away from the airport is this turnpike? Sorry for my ignorance in advance. But if a traveler just picked up a vehicle after traveling on a plane, it is very possible they didn't have change simply because having change and going through security is a pain. Also many credit card c...

angela9823

The tolls are on the back of the ticket you take prior to getting on the turnpike (I lived about fifteen minutes from Kathy :lol:). Ohio Turnpike does take cards as does PA turnpike, but she said their cards were declined. Yes she said a card was declined. At this point I think many of us would ass...

angela9823

I would have gotten a $295 fine for going through it so I begged the toll booth operator next door to take my cash...he wouldn't (it was Boston after all). He just kept telling me to move forward and face a fine. I finally backed up and went through the credit toll after many people blowing the hor...

So many of us are so glad you decided to salvage that barn. I was one of the ones thrilled with you keeping it. It is just such a cute barn and adds to the history of the place.

angela9823

I am talking about the Ohio Turnpike, a highway that is clearly marked to be a toll road. You do not have to get on the turnpike. But if you decide to use the turnpike, you have to stop at a ticket booth and get a ticket that clearly shows that there will be a fee for driving on the turnpike. So yo...

Only other thing I can think of besides what other said, try washing with a mix of tea tree oil and aloe. Sometimes you can find shampoos with this already (even dog shampoos) but other times you can mix it yourself. Antiseptics can leave the skin scaly like what you are seeing in your pictures but ...

angela9823

My barn was setup so I could add stall walls as needed and everyone of them could be wash racks as well. They all have drains and are concrete but I can put the rubber mats down over this. There are posts added for wall mounts - more for pipe type fencing versus wood but the setup would accommodate ...

angela9823

I can believe it because I've been there done that myself. We have a toll booth road here that says it is a toll road. What it doesn't tell you is how MANY tolls there will be. I also have gone to Boston once and gotten turned around so many times by GPS because the buildings would block signals tha...

Another update on the horse above. For some reason, vet #3 does not want horse permanently on Isoxsuprine twice a day but has not given reasoning. She is suggesting Osaph (spelling??) instead. It is $200 per quarter and has to be injected by the vet. She said it is injected in three different places...

I think they are all evil. Mine has been an unmanaged diabetic for the last year. We just haven't been able to get diet and insulin to the place it needs to be yet. We changed his food in the beginning and were able to take him off insulin completely for three months. That quit working and since we ...

angela9823

I agree with what others are saying 1) the horse doesn't look 200 lbs under weight - with saddle on. 2) horse looks under muscled, not so much under weight 3) forage - hay 24/7 - easiest and best way to put on weight in my opinion. And I also am one that likes to go with something like timothy pelle...

I'm revisiting this because I thought someone might be interested. One of the horses I trim was diagnosed with a cyst in the navicular bursa area many years ago. The horse was on meds for it when current owner bought her but none of us knew that at the time (found out later). I told current owner I ...

I've used Instinct-mostly rabbit- many times and it is the only canned cat food I can get my cat to eat as well consistently. Cat likes rabbit, salmon and duck. I like the food because they are one of the only ones that uses rabbit. Rabbit is a favorite feast of my dogs/cat. My cat will kill them, b...

Just revisiting to see if your foal was born yet and see that it was! Congrats but where are the new pictures?

angela9823

Jingling that it is something simple like an abscess versus being stifles! Good luck!

I just put out my contribution - I went and bought Boom-Chika-Pop popcorn, that states gluten free.... I put it in a bowl, walked to the other room to grab a spoon to put in said bowl so that no hands go in, and I see a co-worker, grab the spoon from the homemade bits and bites, which is loaded wit...

What do you think about this guy? One of the nicer moving AQHA's I've seen in a while. I know he's not being ridden as a dressage horse, but he's also not being ridden like a western pleasure horse either... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6quAKvNH8g I like this guy. My only "but" comes ...

Oh..and make certain your connections to the battery are good and kept clean.

angela9823

How old are your batteries and what brand? If you have cheap batteries in the vehicle that could be your issue. Battery brand really does matter when a vehicle is sitting that long. Someone else mentioned the radio clock; for most batteries this isn't an issue. But cheap batteries (think Auto Zone s...

angela - I would politely but firmly ask them to leave. It is very inconsiderate to force themselves on someone in this situation - especially when you requested no visitors so soon after surgery. I would go the nurse station and request no visitors if this is possible. Some people mean well but th...

angela9823

Well...I'm revisiting this to discuss something similar. Hubby had surgery yesterday to remove mass/tumor and part of colon. We requested no extra visitors after coming out of surgery. Even called family and asked them to please wait until next day to visit. You would not believe the number of peopl...

Mine have gotten loose more times than I care to really discuss and we live next to a major highway. :-( That is part of the issue. People run into my fence and don't think a thing about what might be behind the fence. I've had a cop watch as eight horses crossed over a downed fence line that had a ...

I'm kind of in the same boat too. I've got two perfectly ride-able horses right now. One is 20 the other 17. Both are in great shape and doing well. My third younger horse was put down this year and I've actually been just looking online at horses for sale. My issue is that almost ALL of my animals ...

Here's to her waiting til the 11th so my date can be right. LOL!!!

I just read the blog. I remember you posting about it previously but it is so sad to hear about it again and that you had to relive the pain. So sorry you are having to go through that. Hugs to you!!

Why chance it? Why risk someone's life, literally, because you have a need to hug them? I have a very good friend who has one of the myeloma's and is almost constantly on chemo right now. Her health would be devastated if I were to give her a little bug. Not only that, but her treatment would be se...

angela9823

I'd have a really hard time being asked not to hug a loved one going through chemo. You're right-- this is not about you. It's about helping people with compromised immune systems avoid getting sick. Agreed. This is why I'd take the stance of no visitors. As long as there are visitors that person t...

I'd have a really hard time being asked not to hug a loved one going through chemo. I know I look at this from the outside in, but I can't imagine not wanting to be hugged for fear of getting sick too. Scruffy makes a valid point. There are so many other ways to catch something, receiving love just ...

I'm torn on this one. How do you judge those that can see light/shadows against those that don't see at all? I don't think the horse can equalize the situation here. Just watch the difference in that rider when she gets a blindfold on. She didn't ride the same horse even. She said she couldn't trot ...
