Crazy horse ladies buying these for their little darlings...

What's in your pasture?

These the same gals that have special purses for their tinydogs.

Buy once, cry once



I heard that somewhere....maybe on here

They're probably worse than hunters - turkey butt out tool cough suppressor etc. .

I bet they'll sell especially if you get a window sticker with the purchase YETI LIFE .

Sheesh for that much money I can buy 125 25# bags of ice from Costco. Don't think Ive bought that much in the last 25 years.

In high school I shoveled chit in a horse barn with room for 94 horses. For the most part all thoroughbreds, eastern dressage type riding, braided manes, silly saddles the works. Lots of moneyed owners.

Almost all wealthy women and their daughters, a few Homosexual men. For reasons not to difficult to conjecture, these women were in love with their horses. We had one slash her wrists when her horse died.

Ice water in summer weren’t uncommon, one lady would bring whole buckets of iced tea.

Our ole Ranch horses would have probably died of a heart attack if we had ever given them iced water after working cows all day in a hot summers day.

I hope she was successful.

No doubt!

my yard cats like the bucket under the ice machine drain in the summer.winter thy like the fountain

Ohhh, I thought you meant these guys, well fed on second-cut Montana alfalfa.

My second ex-wife was a horsewoman and yes, she was nucking futz. She told me she had her first orgasm riding a horse bareback. Make of that what you will.

We were transiting through Frankfurt once and she stopped at the Hermes duty-free shop. She saw a set of horse brushes there that were on sale for $1200. The price even shocked her. When she asked about it the salesgirl said, in a haughty French accent “Well, they are Hermes.”

It was actually a great job, outside all year round and I got to be an ace with the front end loader on the tractor, scooping up horse apples and peed-on sawdust. In fact I was double clutching an old Ford dump truck out to the manure pile back in the woods when I heard on it’s radio that President Nixon was resigning.

Lots of tedious grooming and hoof-picking of course. The pits was getting there at 5am to braid manes for some event. A lot of Thoroughbreds have a personality about like white leghorn chickens, anything at all could send em into hysterics, whereas Quarterhorses, Morgan’s, Arabians etc were generally more placid.

They would transport the horses to events in a big motorhome- looking vehicle. Horses backed into stalls all facing the middle ( I’m recalling six horses but it’s been years). The worst job was riding in the back with the horses, standing in the middle by their heads to keep ‘em calm. I hate getting sneezed on by horses.

Is that the horses that get all of their alfalfa hay from one valley in Montana ? I can actually understand why the dune coon does it. Changing a horses feed can make them colic. My broker is a horse nut and she freaks out whenever her usual hay supplier is out. I’ve also seen her drive five hours to buy her regular brand and type of feed to avoid even a minor change in food. I’ve also seen three of her horses colic within three days of changing their feed.

Easy way to make a small fortune in the horse business...




Start with a large fortune.

Sheeit.


What is it with people and their weird fascination with ice and how long they can keep it solid?



Its not expensive.

I am just putting the pieces of the puzzle together. Hauled some bales. Word in the truck was second cutting only, around Dillon and Townsend. Shipped via Tacoma, un-compacted, large square bales. In their summer, the horses are flown to Kentucky, they have a barn jet or some damned thing, and eat the same but from small square bales. Not 100% sure but I heard it rhymes with Audi Hoyal Damily. Small world.

Guy i know is a farrier on the side.

Told him he’d hit the jackpot If he’d do chrome horse shoes.

Coloreds would love it.

Dubs for their horses.

Years ago I worked for an LTL trucking company. We shipped a lot of alfalfa hay from so. Idaho to the race tracks in NY and surrounding area. This is high desert and the hot dry days give alfalfa a boost in protein. The horse guys loved it and would pay premium prices for it. One of the dealers here told me that a track in NY was out of hay. They pulled a trailer load in and everyone wanted to buy bales right off the truck. They set up an impromptu auction, 1 bale at a time. They sold the entire load in 30 min and made a major killing on it. When you have a high $ race horse, expense is no object.

For you trucking guys: unless things have change since I got out of it, are you aware that when hay is shipped inside an enclosed trailer it becomes hazmat? It has to be placarded as flammable. There are enough haystack fires every year to tell you why. It can get up to 150F inside a trailer even without the heat from the hay.
