    working pic's of some of our kelpies

    Boy that looks like tough country to raise cattle. And the cattle don't look that friendly either. Looks like your dogs got a pretty good workout. I bet they enjoy every second of it. Looks like they back one another up when one is pressured by an ornery cow. Neat pics.

    What makes racehorses good?

    I think its interesting that the author states that to be "good" a race horse.. That would be true for Legendary horses such as John Henry, but doesn't explain small horses like Northern Dancer and the exceptionally large and lengthy Secrtariat. Scientists have tried to apply science to...

    Brags and tooting of own horn.

    This was our most favorite race horse and yes she was home bred too. Her mother was 16.2 and for some reason "Frosty" ended up just being shy of 15 hands.

    One problem with fence height is that if you make it high enough that he can just get his head over, he will spend all his time looking over that fence and after several months will over develop his underneath neck muscle giving him an appearance of a ewe neck. If it were me I would first try...

    Sun Dogs....AND a Ring around the Sun

    This is what a sun dog looks like from an airplane view. Completely unlike what they look like from the ground.

    Injured horse (updated pictures)

    I had a thoroughbred damage a hind leg much like that. At least 3 inches of bone was exposed. The difference was we treated it right away. It took a good 6 months of daily treatment. First you have to wait until the hole fills up with healthy granulation tissue that covers the bone. During that...

    Horses and Barb wire just don't mix!

    Ok. I had a weanling filly strip an eight inch by 3 inck strip of hide and soft tissue off the outer side of a back leg. I called our expert neighbour to come and wrap it and he said " Oh just leave it" Dumbfounded I did as told but the next morning the surviving tissue had shrunk and the...
