I agree. Tires are usually rated by miles driven on them but there is also an age expiration. It seems costly to replace a tire that “looks good” but in reality, replacing them after a period of disuse is important.
Having “more truck than trailer” is a safety consideration especially with mountain driving. You will recoup the cost when you…

Hey Y’all! I’m finally home with about a week more of floating before I take time off from going to barns. While it is technically a “vacation,” I’ll be at the computer doing things to enhance the experience here. Kathy, Matt and I have a bunch of ideas. But is there anything specific any of you would like us to add to this site?

Well my mind is blown. Haha! Please make a blog or podcast about this. I have commentary to add about the man made idea that horses need 500lb blocks of hay in front of them at all times.

A 2 string bale is about 40 pounds so 50 bales to the ton (2000 pounds). At least that was the way when they started baling hay regularly back in the 1960’s. This is because hay was sold by weight and usually by the ton. Now the weight of a bale can vary considerably and are sold by the bale. As late as the 1990’s I bought hay out of the field…

Thank you Doc T for clarifying that for me. I will definitely weigh the soybean and see what it comes out to be. I always give her (2) 2 tie hay flakes daily. So maybe 10 lbs of hay? But she gets 16-18 hours of turnout average per day. She is out most of the time.

@Rosie What is a “scoop?” This denotes a volume and there are an infinite number of sizes or volumes for scoops. For example, there is a small scoop in my coffee jar and there is a very large scoop on the excavator outside.It is always important to measure food intake by weight and not volume. This will take into account density. For…

My horse does great on O and A. She gets 1/4 scoop of alfalfa pellets with her soybean meal. In the summer she gets 1/4 scoop of soybean and winter she gets 1/3-1/2 depending on her weight. She’s definitely a healthy weight right now with the abundance of good grass.
