I would say that your experiment was successful, it works and your horses getting their supplements, and scammers 😡, go get a job!, have a wonderful New Year young lady, tfs x Julie 🇬🇧🫶🏻
You ARE good at recognizing scammers! Not sure I would have realized that quickly. Good for you! I’m across the lake from you and just finished chores. It’s about 45 out there and the paddock is wet ice, soon to be mud. Ugh.
I am right there with you on messing around with scammers in trying to waste their until they get irritated and leave me alone then I will call the company that they are impersonating so they are aware and add another person to their list of victims
lol ...laughing at the fast motion of Raven eating. Love the decorated run-in shed, your solution for reducing waste of supplements, and your toying with the scammers! Fun for us viewers!
Another great vid!!❤❤ YES!! My Wyoming mustang, of all my rescues,is absolutely suspect of anything new added to her wet beet pulp mash. I get the " are u trying to poison me" look😅 love watching ur work w mustangs. Mine spent 10 yrs in Wyoming wild.
I used to just mix his supplements with some applesauce in a Ziploc bag. Squish it around to blend, cut off the corner and just squeeze on top of their kibble. They'll eat it so fast that it won't have time to freeze. Seems like it would be less messing around than what you're doing, maybe? Happy New year! 🎉🎉
❤🎉 Thank you Britta, I love Raven, cracked me up her eating in fast motion ..😆😂🤣 It really helps in Winter when the winds are low, thawing is even better... But the refreezing ugh, hate that. You work so hard for your babies, I think they show appreciation by being such punkins.. stay warm !! 🥰❤️🙂🇺🇲🙏🐴
I also love messing with scammers, most of the ones I meet are art scammers. It's fun to waste their time and annoy them and good revenge for the amount of times these people scam less knowledgeable folks. Love the "science experiment", sometimes you just really need to be a creative problem solver with horses!
I get that, my mom used to lug hot water gallons from the house just to keep soaking the horse pellets through the Winter 😅 I might use my hot water stick if I still had horses. And I'm also tired of scammers 😩 I feel like there are more scammers than real people sometimes. The drone footage is so cool 😄
The crumble method is brilliant! Most horses I've been around have avoided eating their supplements too, and thats been a great fix! Love the drone footage 😍
@@bethanys-herd my hope is to make these little containers, kind of like meal prepping, that I can bring to the rental barn and have them ready to go no matter the temperature! And I love the drone! It is so fun! You have one right?
@@TheProjectEquestrian I love it! A bunch of people at my barn do the same thing 😄 Seems to work really well I do but it needs a repair! I need to fix that 😂
If you put a wheel on the opening side of the gate, it would prevent it from sagging and putting stress on the welds. My grandpa used to have them for the same reason.
For the supplements, did you see CC's video about a month ago about what she feeds her horses? She gets vitamin e capsules from costco. No risk of it blowing away in the wind, etc. One of the supplements she gives to Frisco is a pellet as well.
In order to keep the mash from freezing you can add 1/2 tablespoon of salt to the water and then mix the powders in with the mash. The salt will keep the mash from freezing and problem solved!
I used flaxseed oil to help the supplements stick and mine all loved the oil so they would gobble it all up. Flaxseed is good for their coats and hoofs! I now soak everything because I have one that chokes but we don't have such cold temperatures!
Facebook scammers are the worst! I was looking for my first horse and I was contacted by one. They kept dodging me wanting to come and see the horse before putting down a payment. And then they tried rushing me when I started gently pushing more on the topic.. reported and blocked them lol. They wanted $400 for the horse to be shipped to me and could "full refund" if it's not what I wanted.. like.. what??
I haven’t yet finished watching this one, but I wanted to share something with you. Shae of Free Spirit Equestrian just made an interesting video about her offerings and goals in the new year. One thing she mentioned is wanting to collaborate more with other equestrians. I thought of you with a question mark. It may be worth checking out her videos if you haven’t, and reaching out to her if it interests you. I dropped your name in the comments section. One viewer commented that podcasts with various equestrians would be really interesting. I look forward to finishing this video.
It’s the DJI Neo, and i think it’s great for the price, but I have had some limitations and challenges. This video is a little more on the drone ua-cam.com/video/rbchdp73ics/v-deo.htmlsi=UmJUgnj2Jzzeoq3f
Of the X, Y, Z comments, I think I'm the X? 😉I'm not sold on supplements and have never offered anything other than mineral blocks. I get it... We love our horses and want the best for them, but unless there's a demonstrable need and perhaps a suggestion by a vet that a supplement is needed, the biggest part of me is skeptical of the claims and marketing behind supplements. I'm not taking into account there could be regional differences in forage or hay quality where a supplement could be needed(?) I don't know what I don't know, but what I do know is that I can point to the health of my now senior horses and the fact that I've never had a major vet bill other than to have a colt checked at the University when he was born with a "patent urachus." (The newborn colt out of my mare was peeing through his umbilicus! That soon resolved on it's own.) My 2 oldest turn 27 this May, another will be 25, and the "babies" 20 or 21? Only in the last few years have I started giving them a little winter boost to keep weight on with a couple of scoops of sweet feed per horse, and they're doing very well on that and free choice between 3 large round bales put out in hay rings the first of every winter month. Their hay is nothing special - no brome, alfalfa, or orchard grass - just fescue, some clover, and they pull out and drop any weeds or broom sedge in the mix. I hope I haven't jinxed myself by talking about their good health histories! At their ages, the first thing I do every morning is look out windows, locate them, and make sure they're all on their feet.
Mineral blocks are a waste. They (and salt blocks) were made for cows who have rough tounge. Horses have very soft tounges. A horse can not get an adequate amount of minerals through a block. That's why supplements (like what Britta uses, Vermont Blend and an electrolyte) work better.
@@Polopony20. I'll be sure to tell my horses their tongues are too smooth to keep rounding off the edges and making craters in their mineral blocks until they're gone. Maybe I'll shame them for staying healthy and living so long while I'm at it. 😉 Edit to add: In my original comment, I guessed there could be regional differences in mineral requirements. A search led to this: "Horses in certain geographic regions are prone to deficiencies in trace minerals because the soils in these regions have low mineral levels." That would be the "demonstrable need" I mentioned. One article mentioned the East Coast without identifying specific areas. But, a telephone inquiry yielded some interesting info specific to my area. Never mind forage, the salt and mineral levels in our water are nearly high enough to satisfy the needs of most livestock in the same way it sustains wildlife, even though we're not in a dry area where that's more common. I live near one of several U.S. counties named Saline County, so named for the presence of salt and minerals in the springs and ground water. Of course, this fact hasn't prevented us from being targeted for expensive supplements with warnings about every symptom that could show up if we don't buy into their program. "Good Lord! Cancel Netflix, turn off the hot tub, and cash out a CD, or our horses are going to DIE!" 🤣 I already have doubts when I write the vet fat checks for the recommended frequency of vaccinations. I can't help but wonder how my grandfather inherited working Percheron draft teams, saddle horses, and mules in their 30s, in a newly settled area where no such thing as Ivermectin, supplements, vets or farriers existed? 🤔
You have to be so careful with scammers if they want to deposit up front dead giveaway. I had a guy with hay and he actually took pictures from somebody else's hay ad and I had looked at a lot of ads so I knew it was a scam. But yeah oh no no we'll deliver it. You need to pay up front I'm like yeah not going to happen. Scumbag. They can also hack into your accounts if they've got your cell phone number, I always only contact them through Messenger. I won't give out my cell phone to anybody
What if you mix the supplement with applesauce or molasses, then mix with their food? Or make homemade horse treats with the supplement in it? There are some good recipes that I looked up on Google.😊❤ Good luck.
You do such a good job with your horses. 👍 The bond is precious 💕
Thanks so much for sharing your life with horses.....and being so compassionate and honest. All the best to you...... Cindy🐴

Your Raven looks so much like my Moses, a3yr old gelding from Jackson mountains, NV!
I never knew how much i wanted to see a horse eating a bowl of feed in fast forward until today. Thank you for fulfilling that need.
@@reighost8399 glad I wasn’t the only one lol I died laughing when I saw the first time😂😂

Awesome 👌.

Funny how excited us horse girls get over things like panels and a load of gravel 😂😂😂😂
Paddock paradise 😊🐎🎄✨️💕❄️
this was a great, fun video!! Loved the footage that was sped up while Raven was eating...too funny!
@@medievallassie I was highly amused as well lol
Absolutely make a Red Flag video! So many people get scammed because they don’t know what to look for.
I love the speed up munchies from raven's bowl!!
I wonder how the scammers get their profile to show 3k followers. That scares me as that is one thing I look for as well.

Just an idea. If you have electricity at the rental barn, get a cheap electric tea kettle. That helps me when I need some hot water at the barn. 😊
If you put a wheel on the opening side of the gate, it would prevent it from sagging and putting stress on the welds. My grandpa used to have them for the same reason.
Great video idea! Would be super helpful for folks. Scammers are the worst!
i live in vt and love horses
I liked your research experiment! You look good in that hat! Adds a festive touch!

Could u try feeding in a heated water pail?

Hello - Can you mix something sweet in with the food so they eat everything ?
I mixed mine with applesauce, then added it to the grain or pellets and mixed it
I'd love to hear an update on Sparrow.

Unbeatable pellets soak up faster from watching others.
The scammers use the word "kindly" which isn't commonly used in American lingo...
They do😂😂
Hmm… why _don’t_ you x, y, z??? 🤪
