Kearsarge Meadows: November 2011
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Home of Happy Horses. Sunday, November 27, 2011. Big Dilemmas - Who With Whom. Obviously the menu is critical. And of course, the flowers and overall decor. But for a fabulous dinner party, one must put great care and effort into the seating arrangement. Who would be best placed next to the recently widowed Lady? Who would be amused by an evening of conversation with the boorish Baron? Would the famous Inventor prefer a more technically minded dinner partner or a sports fan? So we work hard on finding a ...

Kearsarge Meadows: Full Power!
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011/03/full-power.html
Home of Happy Horses. Tuesday, March 1, 2011. First, it is worth saying that the great water trough aeration test. Was interesting, but unsuccessful at providing a cheaper alternative way to provide water to the horses. While the water kept moving and remained unfrozen in what I will call "the bubble zone", eventually the tank froze up from the edges INWARDS. We discovered a very thick lining of ice inside the trough. And of course, the unfrozen water was frigidly cold. Don't get me wrong! Home of Happy ...

Kearsarge Meadows: The Great Water Trough Aeration Test
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011/02/great-water-trough-aeration-test.html
Home of Happy Horses. Tuesday, February 1, 2011. The Great Water Trough Aeration Test. Plan A - Movement Through Aeration. Full marks on the concept, design and prototype! Successful results, hmmmmm, not so much. After draining the water out of the trough, we found that ice had also been building up inside the trough all along the interior wall. So it appeared the agitated water in the middle of the trough was going to be the last to freeze. Plan B - Continuous Movement Through . TBD. The 500 Watt De-icer.

Kearsarge Meadows: White Pastures & Spring Vaccinations
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2012/03/white-pastures-spring-vaccinations.html
Home of Happy Horses. Tuesday, March 6, 2012. White Pastures and Spring Vaccinations. Winter has arrived, albeit a bit later than usual, but it is here now. At last for a while anyway. We have snow everywhere. However, with maple sugaring weather forecast for this week (pleasantly warm days, crisp cold nights), winter does not have much longer to go. Now may also be a good time to check on how long it's been since WE have received our most recent Tetanus boosters. Kimberley R Brown Edelmann. White Pastur...

Kearsarge Meadows: Scratches
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011/03/scratches.html
Home of Happy Horses. Tuesday, March 15, 2011. Even the name of this equine medical condition sounds unpleasant. Alternative names include Mud Fever. And other names which are no less appealing. Googling for information, horse owners can find all sorts of gruesome photos and read tales of utter frustration by those trying to cope with the condition in their horses. Recently, we have tried to address a fairly longterm, but not so frightening case of scratches on the lower hindlegs of a draft horse. Li...

Kearsarge Meadows: Summer Chorses
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011/07/summer-chorses.html
Home of Happy Horses. Wednesday, July 6, 2011. Then there is the gardening work. A small part time job in itself. The veggies are growing well, the bittering hop vines are currently growing out of control, and the four year old Cabernet Franc wine grapes are thriving. I was not 100% convinced they would survive our cold climate, but they did. Thanks go to Vintage Nurseries. In California for excellent quality vines! And then there is building maintenance and paintwork that needs attention! While chores a...

Kearsarge Meadows: Falling into Winter
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2010/11/falling-into-winter.html
Home of Happy Horses. Thursday, November 4, 2010. So far, autumn has been fabulous! The fall colors in the trees came slowly, peaking on schedule, just in time for the local Warner Fall Foliage Festival. And continues to linger. Very nice! However, winter is not far away! Fuzzy Coats and Heated Water. With the temperatures dropping into the 20's at night, we are already seeing ice on the outdoor water troughs! Trail Riding vs Hunting. The sound of crunching leaves under the horses' hooves sends out a lou...

Kearsarge Meadows: Fall & Thanksgiving Turkeys
http://kearsargemeadows.blogspot.com/2011/11/fall-thanksgiving-turkeys.html
Home of Happy Horses. Thursday, November 3, 2011. Fall and Thanksgiving Turkeys. Let's see. Where did we leave off? First of all, does it seem to you like summer just zipped by! For us, there were only a few weeks where T-shirts and shorts were appropiate. Now we're back to long sleeved shirts, sweatshirts, flannel lined jeans, and hoodies. Yup, it seems Fall arrived in a hurry this year. The Green Mountain Horse Association. September brought the USDF Regional Championships. This past week, we've enjoye...
