I have tons of handy tips for horses -- some of which I am sure you already know!

Have you heard of putting bacon grease on a scrape to help the hair grow back the same color and not white? You can't put it on an open wound, but once the skin has healed, it can avoid white patches of hair ... (you can also use Preparation H, but I will only buy it if I can go through a U-scan :))

In the winter, you can also use non-stick cooking spray or Vaseline on their hooves to keep snow from becoming packed in their shoes, if they are shod.

You can put Gatorade in horse's drinking water if you think they have ulcers. You just have to make sure you offer another bucket that does not have Gatorade in it in case they don't like the taste.

There are also loads of hints for medicating horses ... like crushing pills and combining with applesauce and administering via a syringe without a needle, etc.

Does this help you at all? There's lots more if you want them :)

CHICKEN LICE IS EASY TO GET RID OF BY PUTTING YOUR WOODSTOVE ASH IN THEIR COOP, PUT IT IN A PILE WHERE THEY TAKE DUST BATHS. THEY WILL BATH IN IT, AND IT WILL KILL THE LICE WITHOUT HARMING YOUR CHICKENS OR USING ANY POISEN.

TREAT THE EARTH WELL, BECAUSE IT WASN'T GIVEN TO YOU BY YOUR PARENTS, IT WAS LOANED TO YOU BY YOUR CHILDREN.
