How I carry the hay out to the grazersfor refilling (or I use a cart). I took some more photos showing how I fill the Porta Grazers with hay. The horses are sure getting along well with these – Bo especially loves playing with his. I now carry the hay out in a carry-net or put it in the wheelbarrow rather than keep dragging the feeders back — the horses’s can eat out Continue reading More Porta-Grazer Photos EGM Pellets – 250# barrel This post will be most useful to those in my geographical area – California and Nevada more specifically. I just this year discovered Elk Grove Milling stable mix pellets, and started feeding them to my horses prior to the XP ride. My horses both absolutely LOVE the stuff! It’s not often that you discover something new that works so well especially where feed is concerned. I only wish Continue reading Horse Feed – Elk Grove Milling Stable Mix I love when a new product does these three things: 1) makes my life easier; 2) provides a better way to manage my horses and 3) saves money. The Porta Grazer does all of those things! We used the porta grazers for a few weeks ahead of going on the XP this summer to get the horse’s used to them. They work great at home and are really awesome to have when traveling with Continue reading Product Review: Porta Grazers! Thought I’d try to make a way to rinse beet pulp that works well for traveling on the road with my horses. I’ve been using mesh baskets for that for some time, and they work quite well. I can use them to scoop beet pulp out of a larger bucket, or pour the beet pulp through them and strain out the additional water. I always rinse my beet pulp to remove extra sugars. This Continue reading Another beet pulp rinsing solution Here are a few more useful things. The first thing is just inside the trailer LQ door – levels to tell me if I am level when I park. If I am not level enough, sometimes the fridge doesn’t want to work. I have two mounted so that I can see if I am level both side to side and front to back. These can be placed outside for even easier viewing too. I Continue reading More useful items for those long trips with horses in tow! When I shared my endurance horse longevity post on FB, a friend asked this question: “Karen you obviously have WONDERFUL horses – but what thing or few things have you learned thru the years that have helped your amazing record? I bet I know most of them but would love to hear from you what you think are the top 5 most important things you think you have learned to help longevity of your Continue reading My Longevity List Day 4 of DVE. Karen and Granite Chief. Photo by Steve Bradley. Getting to and setting up camp. We stayed longer at Jackie’s helping Annie get stuff together. We drove stuff over to camp and set up some water and dropped the portable toilets and horse trailer (for crewbags/pulled horses) off. While on those trips Annie had to pull a couple of rigs out of being ‘stuck’. It wasn’t that it Continue reading Death Valley Ride Report 2010 Ever have that happen? You know, when you realize that you forgot to do something, and now…it’s too late? I got down to the Death Valley Warmup ride and was preparing to pack my crewbag on Friday for the out lunch check for Chief on Saturday. No big deal, right? Ha! I wish! I have gotten to where I am really pretty good about cleaning stuff up before heading home from each ride. Continue reading Whoops – forgot something! |
