Do you have any of those hay bale bags like BladeRider and I had when we went out to Becky’s? Those are pretty handy when you just need to carry a bale or two and don’t want to have a hay mess all over the place. It keeps them dry too unless it’s just pouring down.

No we don’t. I have just tarped it, but those would be better. And nice if you want to carry a bale in the tack room of the horse trailer!

I like the one BladeRider had better than mine. Hers had handles, mine just had loops and I had to run a lead rope through them to make my own handles. Mine came from National Bridle and I think it cost around $25. I think she said she got hers from Country Supply (Horse.com) for $19.99. I’ve been thinking about ordering another one the next time I order from them.

I've been out dinking around with the halter bridle combo I bought... and have some questions!

Halter Bridle combo... fitting and bitting

My older daughter uses one of those — I’ve watched her but it looks too complicated (for me..) but your horse looks wonderful in it. :-)

Good Evening Ladies.

Frog, I'm glad that you made it through the tornadoes OK. I was thinking about you.

Hair, I took a look at the pictures on the horse forum, and that bridle looks really nice on Bay.

Sorry I haven't been on much. Work has kept me busy... I'm there at least 10 hours a day. I'm feeling the burnout and stress and that in turn is aggravating some health issues that I have. Blech. I've been trying to combat it by going to bed early to get some extra sleep, and it seems to help somewhat. I was looking forward to getting to the barn this weekend, but we're supposed to get hammered with snow.

Hope your snow isn’t too much of a hammering.

We have a high wind advisory for tonight... getting a little prepared but trying not to be nervous till I need to be.

Your place is gorgeous!!! What a beautiful set up and the barn is lovely!! Nice shade for the pasture areas.......an equine paradise!! I love the looks of your Cape Cod - have always loved the style!

We have a buyer for our house here in IL - whoo-hoo!! Will be heading south (just in time, 8-12 inches today in Chicago-blecchhh)in mid-late March.

Estrogen, you said your "new house/new barn" workload has let up a bit, well I'm here to tell you I'm picking up where you left off - hahaha - any pointers????

You’ll be ok. I’ll be up late if you want company though.

Glad you are ok. Have you seen those plastic shelters. They look like a big septic tank but there is a place for 2 or more (depending on how much you want to spend) You just dig a hole.

Well, I had my first major fall off a horse in a long time today. And I can tell that I’m not 35 anymore ... But I got right back on, which is a major improvement for me.

Good evening. I’m sorry to hear you’re dealing with so much stress at work - it sounded like a great job to begin with. Hope things work out there - also hope you don’t get a major snow storm.

Bummer but I’m glad you were able to get back on. And that you aren’t hurt.

Good to see you on here. I found out I can’t write in a candidate on our election system. I can only vote none of the above :) so NONEOF THEABOVE is my new choice.
