    someone at my yard made a rug rack out of a bit of drain pipe. They got a plastic one, threaded a long piece of rope through it and then tied the ends up to the beams in the ceiling, with it being high enough that the horse can't reach, so you can have all your rugs in your stable

    • @BudgetEquestrian
      @BudgetEquestrian  7 років тому +1

      Hi Sophie!
      I did this in my tack room, I needed more hang ups for heavier horse blankets, and my husband had some 1" PVC pipe that we weren't using, so I took some hay twine, threaded it through the PVC pipe, and then tied some twine on either end to keep the pipe hanging evenly, and then just put it on a coat hook. It worked so good, and was so easy, I made 3 more. This is a great idea, super easy to make and gives you extra storage space too!

    Rug Hack!: when taking your rug off your horse, take the top end, on the withers and fold it bck over the horses hindquarters and then take it off and hang it on a fence or where ever you hang them. when putting it on, you hold it the same way you took it off and thenswing the outer side ( one not facing you) over the horses hind and then fold the top part back over the withers and volia!, rug on simply

    We have a great hack for the water tanks. We bought some 25 cent goldfish from Meijer or another store and put 4-5 into each container. Those funny fish have now been in our tanks for 2 years! We only lost 2 of them since we first got then. They eat all the mosquito larvae eggs and absolutely no mosquito larva end up in our water tanks. They also eat the algae and we have to clean tanks a lot less than before we got the fish.
    Another great thing to clean your water tanks is to skim it often with a pool net! It works awesome. Cleaning the tanks is also much easier when using a snow window scraper! That scrapes all the algae or whatever on the sides and bottom so much easier than using a brush. We then grab a handful of old hay or straw to scrub. Then you can dump it all and the straw/hay breaks down in the soil. Works great for water bowls for small animals, too. 💞

    good video, I love horses, but hate work so when my daughter wanted a horse, I went next door to a neighbour who had many horses and leased one for two days a week. My girl got her horse, my neighbour got a lot of free labour, I had no extra work. Best of all when my daughter went to University a few years later the lease payments ended. The lease was $200. a month, no horse to buy, feed, doctor, or even sell when she moved away. Now that's a hack.

  • @georgegoertzen4723
    @georgegoertzen4723 6 років тому

    Great ideas. Make a stall toy/treat dispenser/enrichment idea - use an empty plastic cat litter container, either the bucket type or jug type works, cut or drill a hole just large enough to allow treat (carrot chunks, cheerios, feed pellets to name a few) to pass through - smooth any burrs or rough edges and dispose of plastic bits, then hang in stall with twine loose enough that your horse can tip it to dispense treat. If your horse is bare foot, it can even be left on the ground to be nosed or booted about. Always exercise care and look for the worst case scenario - as the head stall or halter should be removed so that the toy can not catch on it, bare foot if on the ground so it doesn't get caught on a shoe, etc and always supervise the first few sessions so you can see how your horse is going to use his new toy

    How to keep your water algae free?
    How about fucking clean it. We clean our water troughs with bleach numerous times a week. Our water is always crystal clear. How would you like having to be put to work and do all that joint damaging jumping then getting water like that?
    Pure laziness.

      Nikki The Fox bleach isn't good for horses either, better to have algae and keep your horse longer.

      Ann Dennis the horse isn't drinking the bleach dipshit... it's rinsed out very well not to mention a small amount of bleach can be used to disinfect contaminated drinking water. We only use maybe two capfuls and scrub... you and almost all other equestrians are lazy. Our horses always have clean water and that's how it should be when a running water source isn't avaliable. Having small tanks full of nasty shit, mosquito larvae and decomposed matter is a lot less safe for a horse than a cap full of bleach is in a full tank of water

      Negative much? Unless you stand there rinsing several times your horse will get some and it will bioaccumulate. And unless you change the water and scrub daily your water is only crystal clear because of the bleach left behind.

      Ann Dennis I do rinse very well going over the whole thing numerous times. And it's not always crystal clear... we just fucking clean it enough each week it doesn't get the chance for all those nutrients and detritus to form a shit ton of algae. Not to mention we have a big racoon problem on the marsh and when you see racoon blood on the inside of your water tank do you really think not bleaching that shit is safe?
