Caring for Horses

Caring for horses has been a life long dream - it required getting land first - to provide pasture for these beautiful animals - and it required an available schedule - horses need access to food on a regular basis - so I needed a flexible workload.   We have six horses - 4 registered quarter horses and 2 wild mustangs. Their names, places and year of birth are as follows:
Smokey Boots 1978, Oklahoma  U  June Royal 1983, New Mexico U Lads Jim Dandy 1993, Texas
U L.S. Quinarius 1998, New York U Blackfoot 2003, Nevada U Blossom 2002,

Memorable Moments: winter 2011 Gene paves...plows the Way!

Our lives are made of of Memorable Moments... problem is we get older and forget.   I use a blog for this reason - plus it's a great publishing source - you share our memories - plus it's free!  This is Gene in the tractor with our snow blower attachment.  The greatest storm of 2011, in March, forced me to stop in our little town - I pleaded for Gene to rescue me with his snow blower.  He did it!  This is him on the road to our farm just in front of my car - a very memorable moment!

Stable Safety: Winter Tips!

Ice is slick - splash water on ice and broom fine hay waste ontop to freeze into it - this eliminates the slip to avoid accidents for you and animals.

Water buckets freeze - use h e a t e d water buckets - what a savings of time and energy and buckets in the long run- they are expensive but last a lifetime - don't let hay pile up near it and hang on hooks in stalls for safety like the one shown here.
