    Horses Down

    So sorry to hear about your horses. :( I had a horse who had a close call with an impaction years ago. The little fool was spending her time banging on the back of an old wooden grainery with her front foot, and picking up wheat seeds one at a time. We found the marks on the wall later when...

    Anyone have any tips for getting a dog to eat

    Boiled hamburger mixed with cooked plain white rice is the usual thing for dogs with digestive issues. But if it's an appetite thing, he may like canned dog food. First make sure his lost appetite is not because the meds aren't working. Has he been on them long? If it's more than a day or...

    Working Cow Horse or Working Horse Cow?

    A better horse could have provided the proper attitude adjustment. Hubby was riding my old horse Abner one day way back, when he came across a situation just like that. We had a calf about that size who had taken part in a great escape, and he was the last one to be found. It was three miles...

    What would you pick for a family dog?

    When it comes to kid's dogs, you can't beat a good Scotch Collie, especially if it's going to be an outside dog. My brother's Collie used to "herd" my niece back to the house if she got too close to the street. We had two Collie crosses over the years. The one we had when our kids were...

    Guard dog ?

    We make a dog house every fall out of square bales. If he's staying with the cows that could be an issue though. They'd eat him out of house and home! :lol: :lol: :lol: He's a nice looking dog. Best of luck.

    This dog really really really wants to fetch a stick...

    I agree. She sounds like she must have been quite a character. And smart too! After all, think of all the people she trained to throw a stick!

    What breed(s) do you see?

    The first thing I thought was "Husky eyes". Husky dogs tend to look a little wolfy themselves. He's a neat dog. :D

    What breed(s) do you see?

    What a neat picture. I'd put my money on a bit of Husky, maybe a splash of Lab, and perhaps a sniff of semi-German Shepherd. We had a dog something like that once, but smaller. She was a stray, and I later tracked down where she came from. She was literally a mix of at least five breeds...

    Anyone here have experience with Arabians?

    Lighten up guys! Before everyone gets on their "high horse" about the Arab / Quarter Horse debate, remember that the foundation of the Quarter Horse breed included more than one dose of Arab/Barb blood, through the Spanish horses, as well as the English ones. Thoroughbred horses without...

    Opinions wanted. Pasturing gelding with mare

    I'm not so sure that's a mare gelding thing as much as a horse/horse thing. We've always found when there are only two horses, they get attached. It's just the way it is. They are herd animals. You have to just be in charge when you separate them, and the first few times could take some...

    Horses and Rabies?

    I know a man in our area who had his dog get tangled with a porcupine. A bunch of his friends came over, helped him hold down the dog, and pulled the quills out themselves. They must have had to have a couple of goes at it, because there were quite a few people involved. Guess what? Two...

    Getting a starving dog to gain weight

    Ohhh my..... heartworm treatment alone can be dangerous, even to a healthy dog. The murmur is a worry too. We just had the first heartworm positive dog in our area this year. So far it's always been a problem in other parts of the province, but those days are over. Our dogs have been on a...
