  • Mayday, Mayday! We’ve been hit pretty hard this week. It is what it is, and we’ll try to find the silver linings and pray all heal quickly and fully. I know some of you didn’t come here for all of this horse content, but for those who have stuck around and are willing to wade with us through all that we find ourselves doing, we sure do appreciate you. Spring and farming will be back full swing soon enough- and hopefully these horses we’ve come to love. Much love and thanks to you all for being here with us for it all. xx, The Bernards

    Meredith Please don't apologize for your content. We are here to share your "REAL" whether it's Plowing, Feeding, Cooking Roping or Joking. I haven't decided if I want to be a Farm Wife when I grow up but I LOVE watching you do it. The Good with the Challenging. If you an't tell us about it from your heart, we can't pray for you from our heart. God Bless YOU, your horses and your Family!

    The great part about growing up on the farm is that I learned the facts of life. Can't say I always enjoyed it, but I learned that life is about living, dying, being sick, and enjoying good times. Great to see the family working together through it all. Stay safe and well.

    God does not give us problems that he knows we can't deal with in life, life is like a rollercoaster that is fun, scary and exhilarating all at once so take this one day at a time and at the end of the ride there will be a rainbow to admire. Keep giving ur viewers all that u can, as u can see the following u have is so very touched by your sincere love and happiness of farming and raising animals. God bless 🙏🙏🙏

    I feel for you all, having sick animals is not a nice thing, hope that they all come through OK and are better for it in the end.
    Thanks for sharing. If you watch 'Working Horses with Jim' you will know that they lost a hose to colic not so long ago, I can tell you many stories of how many horses were lost when I was a kid, its sad, but its life, the word influences us no matter what, but God is good, always, He knows best, sometimes its better to just see it that way ! Blessings to you all.

    Don't apologize for being human, we love our animals and hate to see them sick. We have lost a barrel horse to colic and 3 horses over the years to what the vet figures was cancer so I can relate. You're all in our prayers.

      It's hard for me to watch this. Because I worked with show horses. I had a business where I would stay up all Night and walked the barns. People trusted me to check on their horses. Every hour I would go buy and write down on a sheet of paper. If the horse was ok. but If the horse was sick I would call the owner or trainer at the hotel where they were staying. In the meantime I would stay with the horse and start walking the horse around. Until they came. The Name of my company was Randy's Horse care. So my prayers are with you.

    My father grew up with horses on the family farm. They were used to plow until he finally convinced his father to buy a tractor in 1939. I grew up in the suburbs. The horse content is fascinating, educational and connects me to unfamiliar family history. No need to apologize for the content.

    Ben probably isn't drinking enough water. I think you were lucky this time which I'm glad for you. Ben was very lucky he was just pre-colicing. My horse pre-coliced and I caught it. Called the vet and they tubbed him thru the nose and ran three gallon water and mineral oil down his intestines. He didn't take his first poop for 18 hours. I would buy some Apple flavor powder electrolytes $ 15.00 from tractor supply and put it in Bens water bucket in his stall until he develops good water drinking habits.

    Sorry there young lady but you don't have to be sorry for being human and sharing your feelings with us and it helps us as it also helps you a little to get it out and makes things a little better for all. So please please keep keeping on and being you the best way you can and we will all enjoy your walk in life...
