I was reviewing your site and noticed Martha Stewart is interested in both horses and gardening. We manufacture several different models of the Fold-A-Cart, Multi-Purpose Carts used by gardeners, Equestrians, boaters and general home use. Also, has your stable manager Besty seen the Fold-A-Cart used by many horse owners to muck out the stalls and carry tack? Please let us know if you would like a Fold-A-Cart to try...

It is a mixture of bran and wheatgerm oil. I used it a long time ago, maybe they have something better now. But it worked, it will make your horses shed out their winter coats. They will shine like nothing you have ever seen. I used to use a little wheatgerm oil in their grain all year. Check it out and see if it works for you. ~D~ There is a mash used in the early spring.

I have a grooming tip for you and Betsy: VINEGAR Rinse the horses with a cup of vinegar (white or apple cidar) in a bucket of water after washing/grooming daily (or several times per week). The vinegar rinse is gentle and helps wash away the dirt and grime, controls the pH to deter rain rot, and also leaves coat shiny and soft. They will smell like a pickle until dry, but once dry will look and feel great. Also, you can use a large furminator to help with the shedding (just like on the doggies). Looking forward to more pictures of the farm and stable. Best, Susan Hi Martha, I love looking at pictures of your horses and barn. I have a grooming tip for you and Betsy: VINEGAR

The way it is shown used on Martyn is the way it used to hang up when not in use. This particular grooming tool is very useful and can pull lots of hair that is ready to come off in a very comfortable manner. Just thought I'd pass it along, I love this website and always learn from it!!

After four years of trauma, am trying to put my life back together, and the dream of one day being able to have a home again, and possibly a horse or two, helps spur (sorry, I can't help myself)me on! Still rising from the ashes, for this moment, for this hour, for this day,...all is well. Warmest wishes, Susan Gorgeous!I am an artist and have painted Frisians.

How about a website for horses? Just hoping, as your horse blogs always generate a lot of worthy discussion. Thank you, Sally Dear Martha,
