Do you have any pets?: Yes a dog and 3 cats

Some years back, I boarded at a lovely facility in Erin just outside Hillsburg. Erin has to have one of the prettiest country sides I have ever seen. The facility was quite lovely, large arena, huge stalls and great paddocks for turn out. It even had its own "diet paddock" which I found quite interesting. Never heard it quite like that. I don't know why it was classified as such.…

For the Spirit of the Horse

I am saddened once again, by the reports on the way our horses are being slaughtered in our Canadian plants. It brings me to tears to see these poor helpless animals being butchered and brutally killed. The only mistake that they have made in their lives is to be born, and not needed. Two plants have been shut and we must close the 4 remaining plants.

We have to keep lobbying our politicians, leaders, equine associations, YES, equine associations: Equine Canada, your provincial… Continue

It is uncanny how their behavior mimics his even though he was not involved in raising them. All are love bugs, too, wanting as much attention as they can get. It makes training so much easier because they are eager to please and love rewards!

At 8:08am on March 30, 2011, Ellin McGinley Daum said…: Yes, and they do it in very good humor, too!

At 9:52pm on March 28, 2011, Ellin McGinley Daum said…: I read your info and apologize for not knowing he is a gelding. We are in central Indiana, but Pavon was bred and born near Winipeg, Canada. I'm so thrilled to have him and enjoy the wonderful foals he is producing.

At 9:49pm on March 28, 2011, Ellin McGinley Daum said…: What a wonderful horse! Mare, gelding or stallion? I love the personalities and dispositions of the Iberian horses. Our 5 year old S/P mare is the official greeter at the farm. She is so social to the point of being nosy, but so sweet. She will be bred to Pavon this year.

At 11:58am on August 24, 2010, Laurie Aditajs said…: Hi Mary-Joe, The I-Mat tiles are designed to replicate interlocking stone, specifically for use in washstalls and walkways such as barn aisles and outdoor walkway applications. These tiles insulate and provide a non-slip floor for your horse to safely walk on. These extremely durable tiles last for years and years.

As far as your stall goes, SoftStall is the choice to use for this application, to create a therapeutic bed, a non-slip, comfortable bed for your horse to lay on. A 10 x 12 stall goes for $700 per stall. You can email me directly for more information. Shipping and installation are not included.

At 10:13am on August 23, 2010, Laurie Aditajs said…: HI Mary-Joe,
The I-Mat interlocking tiles are made from recylced rubber tires that interlock to look like real I-tile pavers. We have a special on these tiles, sorry, try this email to get in touch with me and I can give you more details! laurie@softstall.com

Thanks!
