DustyRider Although I do have very good liability insurance, our state law has provisions for equine owners in case of accidents. The code of Alabama states that the owner is not liable for accidents. The boys have been told repeatedly that they can only visit if...

DustyRider I used to make chores into games for my kids when they were small. As long as it was fun, they were more than happy to help. It seems that the older they got, the harder it has been to get any help from them around the house, though. My son is 18 now and I...

DustyRider No slippers for me. I will wear thick socks in winter, but mostly prefer to go barefoot. My floors are hardwood or deep plush carpet, so barefoot is the most comfy for me.

I had a 6-year old daughter and a 4 year old son, my problem is they are always fighting each other. they played together but after a moment, maybe they did not understand while they are playing so that's the start of their fight....

fighting

4 responses

DustyRider When my children were small, they would fight like this. One solution that would work would be to make them hold hands. If I heard them fussing, they would have to hold hands with each other until I decided that they could let go. Usually a couple of minutes...

I am the eldest among 4 siblings... since we were young I used to be very protective on our youngest one, which is 4 years younger than I am. Whenever she made a mess I was always their to rescue or cover her. Even our parents...

DustyRider I also am the eldest of 3. My baby sister was born when I was 14 years old. She grew up to be a spoiled self centered person. For a very long time I blamed myself and my parents for giving her anything she ever asked for, but as time has gone on and she has...

DustyRider I have owned horses almost all my life. If you have horses for any length of time, eventually you will run into a colic of some sort or another. Many things can cause a horse to colic, even something as simple as a drop in barometric pressure can sometimes...

Recently, on the news, I saw something that disturbed me greatly. In Florida, it seems that there have been many horses slaughtered in their own yards for the purpose of getting and selling the meat. I grew up with horses, and I...

DustyRider If it were my horse, I can promise you that I would be sleeping in the stall with him every night. He is like family to me and anyone who threatens him will eat a bullet instead of horse meat. On the other hand, I am not against the legalization of...

I was looking at Facebook and on the sidebar was an ad for Rockin Y Tack store that sells new and used tack. So I thought that sounded cool and I clicked on it to check it out. Here's the link btw http://www.rockinytack.com/ On...

DustyRider Never heard of it, but it sounds like a way I could get in a LOT of trouble with my husband. I have 1 horse and 1 mule and enough tack already to outfit 10 or 12 horses!~ LOL Yes, I have a problem.

Do you devote 8 hours each night to sleep. When you get less or more of 8 hours of sleep, how do you feel the next day? I am groggy, un-focused, and grouchy.

6 responses

DustyRider Personally, it is not so much the length of time that I sleep, but the quality of sleep that I get. When I have a stuffy nose from allergies, I tend to snore and that keeps me from completely resting. Those nights, it doesn't matter how long I sleep, I still...

DustyRider The first thought would be to shoot it, or if a gun is not handy, find a way to trap it in a room or pen so it couldn't bite anyone else. If neither option is available, back away slowly and get into a safe place where you could watch the dog and call animal...
