I Visited Candy Mountain and All I Got Was This Lousy Incision

Unbelievable, isn't it? Every, single horse in the program that wears a blanket has this method done on them and I have yet to have one have a real meltdown. They do it my way or the highway, lol! I'm not mean about it but I've found if you pull them over their heads and do it in a matter-of-fact way that they find it's part of their routine. There are a couple that will back out of the blankets too, and one that responds to the command "Jammies" (which is a good thing as he's a 16.1 hand-ish ASB gelding! He's a fookin' giraffe!) Anyways - I can't imagine having to undo those straps too everytime. |

The leading the horse to the stall would slow down my untacking routine. I do everything in the aisle or washstall and everything is located in grasping distance there. I, categorically, clean my bits and all tack after each ride--it's some of the others who use my tack or are in charge of my tack that results in the unsightly bit build up. |

I'll add a cactus cloth for time saving. It's great to remove dried mud from all over. Easy on the legs and head too. Great for bath time too. Works like a charm, so much better than any curry out there

In almot 30 yrs of gold fishies in the tank I've never lost one to ingestion-by-horse. I've had old age deaths (I think that one was almost 8 when she became a floatie), one blue heron from hell that ate my entire flock of golds (Now I have a lid on the water tank), and umm, fish-cicles when my heater went on the fritz once (and I tried to revive the poor things by adding wate - duh) - but never have they been ingested by heese. Don't feed them - the bugs do so just fine. Oh, and I float a Dollar Store rubber duckie on the water surface so that the stinging type of bugs can get out w/o trying to use my horse's nose as a surf board. Saves in lots of stinging injuries. |

Ya know.... I had goldfish in my water trough......... and SOMEONE (.... ahem... ugh... MR WILLIE!!) had to have eaten one because one was gone and it was nowhere on the ground. Plus he's the only one who plays in the water.... After that, I let the remaining goldfish go live in the pond! |

Can you imagine me putting a rubber duckie in the trough like Dairy Queen does?????? That would last 2 seconds!! Heck, when the trough gets below 1/2 full, he dives in and takes it for a walk by the heater coil. |

I undo the front buckles because I leave my horse's jammies on until I have to take them off and he's on the crossties in the grooming stall. (I pick out his feet, brush his legs, neck and face, before whipping off blankies. If I were working at the barn and blanketing/unblanketing muchos horses in their stall, then yes, most definitely would be the over the head method! Loving some of these ideas! (note to self - add baby wipes to next grocery store run - thanks LBB!) |

Ok, smartie..
How much of any one substance do you add? And how do you do it??Just pour it down the side of the dried-out-baby-wipes tub? But I'm thinking my wipes are pretty cheap.. $20 for a huge tub of Mac body wipes, $20 for tack wipes, either will last me about a year or half a year. |
