This is a honey bee. The pollen on her legs is from dandelions.Her tongue is sticking out due to what killed her that was on the dandelions. It's spring, dandelions are the bees first food. This bee is dead from w**d killer spread on what we see as w**ds, but what nature sees as food. Please don't spray for w**ds until vou see the blackberries blooming. In this area, w**ds, flowers and fruit trees are bees only source of food until midle of June. There are FAR more w**ds than flowers or fruit trees, so it's their only food source. No bees, no food crops for us and we all starve.

Dear motorists -🚗🚙🏍🚐🚚🚛 and non-horse people,
please do not drive in front of a horse-trailer into the supposedly large gap to the foreman.
We have a long distance from the front man, not because we drive slowly Wir, but we need a long brake path. Unfortunately, we don't have it anymore, if you stop in front of us.
Our horses in the trailer need us to be careful and slow in curves and slow down so they have a chance to balance. Not only can they otherwise be seriously injured, it can even flip the entire trailer and cause serious accidents.
On the photo you can see how little space and opportunity the mare has to keep her balance. The foal is even right under her. She knows a misstep could seriously hurt her foal, so she tries to keep it from moving as possible. You can only do that if I can drive carefully. Please help me do this and consider! 🙏🙏🙏❤️
May be shared, because I know that most drivers do it not out of carelessness, but out of ignorance 😉

I often get people commenting on how amazing my life must be to have all these animals. That it must be nice to come home and spend time with all of them. How jealous they are that I am living their dream life.

My usual response is yeah it’s pretty awesome but.. it’s just.. it’s a lot. What do you mean it’s a lot?
Well I mean it’s a lot.. a lot of work, a lot of time, a lot of money, a lot physically and emotionally.

People only see the pictures I post on social media platforms. Which is generally the perfect cute and funny snap shot for likes and hearts. But What y’all don’t see is what is behind the scenes.

You don’t see the time put into our full time job before coming home and starting the second job.

You don’t see the hours spent out in the barn cleaning stalls. Setting stalls for the night.

You don’t see the time spent loading and unloading hay, sawdust, grain bags.

You don’t see the hard work put into building pastures, putting up fencing and shelters.

You don’t see the work put into maintaining and growing pastures.

You don’t see the time spent in caring for these animals in extreme heat & cold.

You don’t see the time spent grooming and maintaining general care.

You don’t see the time spent worrying about them, making sure they are happy and healthy.

You don’t see the time spent sitting with a sick calf or horse for hrs wondering if he/she is going to pull through.

You don’t see the feed bills, the vet bills, the farrier costs.

You don’t see all the hard work sometimes ending is tragic heartbreak and tears.

You don’t see the time lost with family and friends. (Not including the family disagreements that comes along with farming.)

The list could go on and on....this is only scratching the surface.

Most people will never see or understand the behind the scenes of owning livestock. It’s not all glamour shots and cute fluffy animals. It’s work and a lot of it. I hope to share some small insight on what goes into it.

But would I change it? Would I give it all up? Hell no. This is the lifestyle I CHOOSE to live. Would I have more free time? Yes. Would I have more money? Yes. Would I have less stress? Hell Yes!!! But.. would I be HAPPY? The answer to that is NO. These animals give me life, happiness, and strength. They are a huge part of who I am.

I am fortunate enough to have an INCREDIBLE support system and family who enjoy this life as much as I do. It’s not a one person job. It’s a family effort. For that im thankful. For them I am thankful! ❤️

Keanu Reeves is a True Dogs Lover 🥰🥰
This is Matrix movie star Keanu Reeves. His father abandoned him at 3 years old and grew up with 3 different stepfathers. He is dyslexic. His dream of becoming a hockey player was shattered by a serious accident. His daughter died at birth. His wife died in a car accident. His best friend, River Phoenix, died of an overdose. His sister battled leukemia.
No bodyguards, no luxury houses. Keanu lives in an ordinary apartment likes wandering around town and is often seen riding a subway in NYC.
When filming the movie "The Lake House," he overheard a conversation between two costume assistants, one crying as he would lose his house if he did not pay $20,000 - On the same day, Keanu deposited the necessary amount in his bank account. In his career, he has donated large sums to hospitals including $75 million of his earnings from “The Matrix” to charities.
In 2010, on his birthday, Keanu walked into a bakery & bought a brioche with a single candle, ate it in front of the bakery, and offered coffee to people who stopped to talk to him.
In 1997 some paparazzi found him walking one morning in the company of a homeless man in Los Angeles, listening to him and sharing his life for a few hours.
Sometimes the ones most broken from the inside are the ones most willing to help others.
This man could buy everything, and instead every day he gets up and chooses one thing that cannot be bought.

⚠ Some of us may have had the first autumnal frosts of the season, so it may be tempting to get on with worming for the possibility of encysted redworm. But hang fire! This parasitic stage of the small redworm can have fatal consequences so it is important that we tackle it at the appropriate time.

🌦 The weather overall is still too mild which means redworm on the pasture are still pretty active. Worming to target the encysted stages now will mean a higher possibility of reinfection after treatment, especially if the horses are still out 24/7 or getting a lot of grazing time. We need to wait for a period when daytime temperatures on the pasture consistently fall below 6 degrees Celsius, which is generally between late December and February. This advice applies to healthy adult horses. Young or old horses may need additional consideration depending on their Autumn results.

If you haven't already done so, there is still time for an autumn worm count for redworm and roundworm, and EquiSal test for tapeworm. A wormer may be required now from those results and then another for the encysted redworm once cold enough.

If in doubt about the best course of action for your horses then get in touch for our free, vet approved, expert advice.

Loved seeing him !!

Actor JAMES STEWART explains his love of the Quarter Horse/Arabian co-star he rode for 22 years -"The horse [Pie] was amazing. I rode him for 22 years. I never was able to buy him because he was owned by a little girl by the name of Stevie Myers, who is the daughter of an old wrangler who used to wrangle horses for Tom Mix and W.S. Hart. He retired and he gave this horse to her."

"He [Pie, the horse] was a sort of a maverick. He hurt a couple of people. I saw [Pie] when I started making Westerns. Audie Murphy rode him a couple of times. He nearly killed Glenn Ford, ran right into a tree… But I liked this darned little horse. He was a little bit small, a little quarter horse and Arabian. I got to know him like a friend."
"I actually believed that he understood about making pictures. I ran at a full gallop, straight towards the camera, pulled him up and then did a lot of dialogue and he stood absolutely still. He never moved. He knew when the camera would start rolling and when they did the slates. He knew that because his ears came up."
Petrine Day Mitchum, Robert Mitchum’s daughter, horse enthusiast and the author of “Hollywood Hoofbeats” explains further:
"James Stewart rode Pie in 17 westerns. They became so attuned to each other that in one film, "The Far Country," Stewart had developed such a rapport with him that he was able to get the horse to do something at liberty all by himself when the trainer was not around. They were on this location. The trainer wasn't on the set and the horse needed to walk from one end of a street to another with no ropes on him or anything. Stewart just went up to him, whispered in his ear and told him what he needed him to do. And the horse did it. Everyone on the set was absolutely amazed, and Stewart just said, that was Pie. That's what he did. So he absolutely had an incredible bond with the horse."

Beyond the work Pie did with Stewart, on film he was also ridden by Kirk Douglas, Audie Murphy, Glenn Ford. And, more than likely, a number of other actors. There is no exact count of the number of films in which the little quarter horse appeared.

Cash !

Why should we pay cash everywhere with banknotes instead of a card ?

- I have a £50 banknote in my pocket. Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it.

The restaurant owner then uses the bill to pay for the laundry.

The laundry owner then uses the bill to pay the barber.

The barber will then use the bill for shopping.

After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a £50 value, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made.

BUT

IF I come to a restaurant and pay digitally via Card,

- the bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around £1.50

( and so will be the fee of £1.50 for each further payment transaction )

-for the owner re laundry or
- payments of the owner of the laundry shop,
- or payments of the barber etc.....

Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial £50 will exist at only £5, and the remaining £45 has become the property of the bank … thanks to all of the digital transactions and fees!

Use it or lose it folks…

Once it’s gone we won’t get it back!

Cash is king!

Great idea !

Take a look at this 👀

A cool piece of engineering by farrier John Blake, for a horse who recently had a large keratoma removed from his hoof. John drew inspiration from a design he saw years ago, so he and his sons “had a think around the idea” of a hinged device that would work for this big, 17.2hh gelding.

Poor little lamb …

Every once in a while, a ewe will give birth to a lamb and reject it. There are many reasons she may do this. If the lamb is returned to the ewe, the mother may even kick the poor animal away. Once a ewe rejects one of her lambs, she will never change her mind.
These little lambs will hang their heads so low that it looks like something is wrong with its neck. Their spirit is broken.
These lambs are called “bummer lambs.” Unless the Shepherd intervenes, that lamb will die, rejected and alone. So, do you know what the Shepherd does?
He takes that rejected little one into His home, hand-feeds it and keeps it warm by the fire. He will wrap it up with blankets and hold it to His chest so the bummer can hear His heartbeat. Once the lamb is strong enough, the Shepherd will place it back in the field with the rest of the flock.
But that sheep never forgets how the Shepherd cared for him when his mother rejected him. When the Shepherd calls for the flock, guess who runs to Him first?
That is right, the bummer sheep. He knows His voice intimately.
It is not that the bummer lamb is loved more, it just knows intimately the One who loves it and has experienced that love one on one.
So many of us are bummer lambs, rejected and broken. But He is the good Shepherd. He cares for our every need and holds us close to His heart so we can hear His heartbeat.
I am a bummer lamb adopted and loved by The Good Shepherd!! ❤ ❤ ❤ Hallelujah!!
