Steve,

What's the purpose of the 2 x 4s? I don't understand the need for them.

Hi Steve,

We had Stall Skins and found that unless the base is very firm and level, they are hard to install and keep in place. If your horses paw at the ground in their stall, (one of our horses...

I know what 'pellet sized limestone' is (very small pieces of limestone) and I know what 'pelletized limestone' is (it's what you spread on a field to change the ph level), but not what...

Doc brings up a good point about when the horses have to be in the stalls. Our stalls are open to the roof of the barn, have bars on the wall that faces the aisle, has a dutch door facing the outside...

I agree with the others about no fans. Our barn doesn't have them and, like the others, we keep the horses out of their stalls as often as possible and out in the pasture.

The only time we used...

I'm envious, too! /forums/images/icons/laugh.gif If I may be so bold, what's something like that cost?

Thanks for all the great replies. I will check the upper shock mounts and see what they look like and if I can get the impact gun on them. I have an air ratchet too (small and large versions) so that...

A noob question.... /forums/images/icons/grin.gif

In order to pass the PA State Inspection, my faithful 1991 Chevy K1500 needed 2 front shocks since they were leaking. My mechanic said that while...

Even when not hooked up, our practice is to lower the tailgate on our K1500 and back it under the GN part of our GN trailer. We always leave the tailgate down when we do this...well almost always. ...

Thanks for all the ideas. I was thinking I'd have to;

1. Add shut off valves on each 'bucket line' to deal with the fact that the horses drink different amounts.
2. Slope the lines so they drain...

Filling the buckets in the stalls is the part of feeding that takes the longest time since we use a single hose to fill them one at a time.

I was thinking about running PVC piping into each bucket...

If our horses chewed, I'd find a way to protect the cord, probably conduit. The heated buckets are just too convenient. /forums/images/icons/smile.gif
