Re: Trip across country
This message is from: Janet ja...@tamaracksheep.com Hi Linda, when we have done this, we contacted the fair and rodeo grounds for the area we wanted to stay in, and got permission to camp on the grounds, thus being able to use the arena to turn the horses loose in. There are some real nice facilities out there. As a thank you we then sent a small donation to the fair or rodeo board.

RE: Hoof Soaking
This message is from: Gail Russell g...@zeliga.com It can be difficult to get the foot into the medicine boots. You have to order an XL for a normal sized foot. And, to do white lightening soaks, you have to close the top with saran wrap, which does not work very well. There is a cordura equine soaker boot that is now out that goes further up the foot and has a Velcro closure, but it may not be big enough. When the boot is loaded with water, it is hard to get on. Why not just invest in a medicine boot?

RE: Hoof Soaking
This message is from: Gail Russell g...@zeliga.com The reason hoof boots are awkward to use is that they are heavy when loaded. And some horses find the weight on their hoof irritating, and try to paw it off...or paw while installing. Soaking is one of my least favorite activities.

Re: My trip to NM
This message is from: jern...@mosquitonet.com Wow! major Life Change! Are you getting tired of all those cold winters? LOL Jean in Fairbanks,Alaska where we're having the warmest summer on record! You are correct, Gail...this trip is trailer only, no horses. It's a dry run - the trailer filled with necessary gear for my place in New Mexico. As I write this my NM 10 acres is being readied for habitation. I'll live in my LQ trailer so a cement slab has been poured with easy access to custom placed utilities/hook-ups. A small shed will hold utilities and a washer/dryer. A no crawl fence surrounds the property. Horse shelter/cross fencing next year. My plan was to spend this coming winter in NM - until I got the fabulous news that my youngest daughter, Anne, is having a baby boy in late October!!!
