Well complain all you want but some of us hit menopause head on naturally at age 36. Talk about thinking life is all down hill from there. I would have explained that stuff is probably bad for pregnant women and your doctor would want you to avoid…

Eileen just let me know if you travel this way. I have an old copy of the WI Horse Directory I can send you that has just about every equine camping area in the state, both public and state parks with all the details. And thanks for the information…

Eileen, My favorite place we just moved away from was the best kept secret for years until a few years back some saddle club pushed to make the park bigger and better, lol! Now it's like camping in the city. Gravel pads for trailers, can't…

Well keep me posted on your results this year. My mare is solid. Her mom is a black TWH and her sire is a red and white SSH. She was inbred, opps, I mean *line bred* back to her daddy before I got her and the filly was solid chestnut. Now…

Oh Ann~ more info on the gaited mules! I have a gaited mare I would love to breed to some gaited jack stock. That is my plan for when my mare retires. I adore long ears!

Eileen I am so jealous! A old friend of mine did that ride 5 consecutive years and got the belt buckle I think it was. I heard the trails the first day or two can be very demanding and there are always a few that drop out. How were the bugs? Can you…

HAha! If I would even mention the camera idea I have a feeling I would be politely told to pack a lunch, grab a chair, and dress warm.

George Redinger replied to Amy's discussion 'Automatic Waterers'
At Redinger Dressage horses often visit for a month or two for training. Sometimes, visitors are not accustomed to automatic waters. This summer a young (3yo) horse came for training that had never used an automatic waterer. My wife was worried that…

I DID haul water for half of last winter hence the automatic waterer. New farms are loaded with surprises the first winter. As long as the new water line went in we made it all worthwhile. It was such a fun winter. Of course we also dug a new well…

Yes, what can go wrong will go wrong. freezing overflowing--too much water plugging--too little water flooding--way too much water Grit in the water supply may plug the input filter, Grit in the water supply may pass through the filter and keep…

Automatic Waterers

Hi,I just installed my first automatic waterer. I live in Central Wisconsin and we usually have some moderately cold temps in winter. Looking for any hints or tips from others on what you may have done or not done to avoid any potenial problems. I did have it installed in a large free stall area so it won't be outside in the elements and this way I can visually keep an eye on it daily. Wondering if I should leave the water tank in there for awhile until the horses figure it out? Did anyone ever…See More

Trails and camping is almost all of what I do. My husband and I have walkers, one TWH and one grade. We found a trail directory that is published by out states Horse Council that has all the private and state camp grounds as well as all the deicated…

Amy replied to Tiffany Seright's discussion 'cold weather blues'
Well I cheated. Last year we bought a place with an indoor arena. I was still bored as was my horse (I am a trail rider at heart). This year I planned ahead and bought myself a copy of 101 Arena Exercises. My goal is to get through all of them this…

And each consecutive year it gets better and better. I pay I think about $12 a month from April til Sept and keep a bottle of Wipe in the trailer. I just wish they would develop something like that for Deer Flies and Horse Flies. They keep my horses…

Anyone try Fly Preditors? I have used them for 4 years now and never use fly spray unless I'm off premise. They don't work on deer and horse flies but neither does the $20 bottle of everything I've tried.

Pleasure/trail rider. I enjoy camping and riding alone to stay centered. I have been blessed to have that once in a lifetime horse that has been with me for over 10 years.
