We LOVE our farrier! Shout out to all of those willing to get under a horse with hot steel in their hands!

It's National Farriers Week! Let's celebrate the hard work that our farriers put in daily to partner with equine veterinarians and ensure the health and well-being of our horses. Proper hoof care is essential for a sound and happy horse, so it goes without saying that a skilled farrier is both a necessity and a tremendous asset.

Don't forget to give a shoutout to your farriers this week and show them your appreciation for their dedication to their craft!

Stay strong fellow farmers going the this cold snap. We’ll have a fresh, muddy hell to contend with next week!😂.
But yeah, can’t beat those quiet, starry night skies.♥️

Sometimes on a farm....

Sometimes you bring 300 feet of garden hose in to your bathroom every night to thaw so you can water livestock

Sometimes you have to plug the tractor in for 18+ hours before it will finally turn over and fire up

Sometimes the milk pump freezes multiple times in the middle of trying to milk cows

Sometimes the temperature reaches -20 degrees and the wind just won't quit

Sometimes you break open waters for them to freeze back over 10 minutes later

Sometimes the tractor gets stuck when you're just trying to put hay out

Sometimes the frustration freezes to your face as it leaks out of your eyes

Sometimes you call the vet and it still doesn't fix it

Sometimes you go to bed wondering if tomorrow will be any better

Sometimes your heart gets broken

Sometimes all your hard work feels like it doesn't even matter

But sometimes you stand outside under the stars when the winds finally calms and all you hear is the crunch of hooves on the snow and munching of hay. And sometimes the sun comes out the next morning and you feel like it's getting better.

The one thing that is always true is that we were chosen for this life. Farmers were entrusted with this responsibility because we are strong enough to keep going when it gets hard and have the faith to know that we are doing what we are called to do. So as we hang up the coveralls and coats and dry the gloves and hats and warm our cold skin, we crawl into a warm bed and rest to wake and do it all again tomorrow.

AND feed the horses! The cost of hay, grain, and bedding has skyrocketed in the last 18months, so be sure you know the commitment you’re making when you add to your herd.

ISO, again, competent, reliable help on the farm. This will include weekends. Contact me if you know what horse farm work entails!

I’m not calling anyone out specifically! This is just one of those things most people don’t think about.The first pic is the typical fit I see nowadays- people buy their blankets too big, or the company’s sizing is off. The second picture is how it should sit on their rump. The third picture is a cleaned up version of the sticky, poo filled, difficult to operate leg strap clips that you see when the blanket is too big. Remember too that fly sheets are often(not always) a stretchy material and fit much bigger than their actual size. Fighting with the poo filled clips to get them open every day is not fun.
Also, if you have a mare and love the people taking care of her, please try to get sheets without leg straps if you can. Those mares in heat make for extra special leg strap function 🤮

We’re rather particular about our horses’ dental care here. You should be too.

Find out why you should trust your horse's oral care to medically trained veterinarians and American Veterinary Dental College diplomates.
