The Horse: The Alpha Mare Speaks!

About Kimberly

I’m a life-long horsewoman. I learned at a young age on my grandparents farm that with enough grain and baling twine, you can catch any horse. Both of my daughters share in my love of horses, especially the oldest one, who now lives in Wyoming with her two Quarter Horses and her mule (which was her college graduation present from me along with this tidbit: “This mule can teach you things about life that I can’t.”). I’m an officer and founding member of the 501(c)(3) Friends of the Lexington Mounted Police, was a founding member of the Kentucky Committee of the Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, and am on the board of the American Horse Publications national organization of equine print and electronic media. I live on a small farm in Kentucky with my musician husband, Ben, two Miniature Horses, a Miniature Donkey (a rescue), goats, chickens, dogs, and cats. My oldest daughter has promised me a new riding horse this summer. Stay tuned.

Now I'm asking folks with pastures sitting idle to share Nature's bounty....

Hay There! Horses Need Your Help!

It's haying time across the country, and it's been a fine, wet spring in many areas. This is in contrast to the two years of drought we suffered here in Kentucky in 2007-2008. If you are baling or rolling hay, and you have more than you need, please consider donating some of it to a group that needs it! I've seen two rescue/welfare groups just this morning who have sent out pleas for hay...

Coupons Anyone?

On my last blog post LoveMyColt put a note in that he/she had found some great Absorbine coupons at http://www.absorbine.com/offers.html . Sounds like a good deal! Here are a couple of other places you can get extras, offers, educational events, or "freebies" for yourself or your horses. Farnam has one of the most extensive lists of coupons I've seen online. Check it out! Purina Mills...
