Great video! We grow hay on our property and scythe it down since we don’t have a tractor. We have a small farm. It’s easy exercise and nice even if you have back or hip issues. It just takes a little bit to get the technique down and to be able to safely sharpen the scythe. Then it’s a matter of letting it dry then using a pitchfork to turn it and bundle it up.
@@CarmellaAbel There are a lot of good videos talking about using a scythe correctly and how to sharpen them. Also recommended companies to get your scythe from. There are some no till gardening channels that feature using a scythe as well. That’s how we came across them.
Thank you sooo so so much Carmella! My and my mother got our first ever horse. A beautiful, adorable little Gypsy Vanner as a family horse, so the kids and grand kids can learn about horses and care for them. 😄Thanks for the tips and tricks, we realllyyy needed them on getting a new horse. Love you Equine Helper! ❤
Me and my dad like to go to places and look in the dumpster for free things, because a lot of times they throw away bags full of horse feed, dog feed, chicken feed, just all kinds of things! Btw great vid, this helped a lot!!!!❤️
We do the exact hay deal. Our neighbor does the cutting and we get what we need. However we had to completely fence off the 50 acres to keep the horses out of it. ❤
You're so right that many of us horse people are not price conscious AT ALL!! Something I'd like to get away from is the insanely expensive Farriers Formula supplement for strengthening hoofs. I'm going to research the ingredients and try to get there more cheaply. Great video!
I can't get the discount code to work. I did all caps, first letter capitalized and all lower case.. even copied/pasted from her description. Any ideas on why?
I use a lot of „human“ products for my pony. Same ingredients, same stuff, but not a „horse“ brand and a lot cheaper 😂 You can even use body lotion or olive oil instead of hoof oil. Or apple cider vinegar for hoof care. Mix your own insect repellent, there are loads of recipes out there. I use Ikea stuff for storage.
Also, could you make a video on how to deal with the fear of ridding a spooky horse? I know you had some troubles with Tucker a while ago and I have the same issues. My mare is extremely spooky ( even if my experienced trainer rides her ) and I got so afraid to ride her that I just stopped riding at all, I'm only doing groundwork with her. I don't know how to deal with this fear anymore. I want to enjoy spending time with her and riding her and I want her to enjoy it as well.. I love her and I can't imagine my life without her, especially with her history, so many people gave up on her... I don't want to be another person in her life who abandoned her because it got hard.
Hello! I do have one video where I start touching on this; it’s The #1 Mistake English Riders Make video (although it can apply to western riders too 🤪) I have much more content planned around this as well
Horse supplements are extremely expensive in Poland where I live. I asked my vet and it turned out some of them can be exchanged with human ones. For example MSM for horses is 3 times the price of a human one. Same goes for magnesium. In most horse supplements there is a magnesium oxide which absorbs poorly into horses system. Magnesium citrate is way better and 100% magnesium citrate for horses costs 6 times the price of a human one. You just have to correctly calculate the dosage.
I don't have a horse yet, but I'm working a lot and saving up as much as I can. And this will hopefully help with still having money after getting said horse. I have a question for you, by the way. Is it more expensive to BUY a horse, or is it more expensive to OWN a horse? Thanks!
more expensive to own a horse, you'll have monthly expenses.. hay, feed, farrier, board/livery, insurance, physio, saddler, vet and many more. the upkeep is gonna cost more overtime especially if you keep the horse for life - they can live up and over 30 years! theres many 'monthly cost of a horse' sites, you can use their templates to figure out how much itll cost you as itll vary from location. good luck!
Hi Carmella! I have a few questions.. 1.Do you NEED to spray your horse with fly spray?? 2. What riding boots do you wear?(what brand) 3. What kind of horse is tucker? (He and yoshi are so cuteee) ❤ Thanks for reading, Please try to answer my questions! Have wonderful day everyone!
Tucker is a POA..Pony of America…he is 13.1 hands..tall (I remember her saying this)…..do you need to fly spray your horse ? Depends on the time of year and where you live..I live in Wyoming..and we only need to spray in June, July, august and some of September..and type of horse ..my Morgan has a lot of hair and are less bothered than compared to a thin skinned and sparse hair thoroughbred.
I would contact your farrier, and ask him..I know people who use 50 50 bleach and water solution, the hoof area has to be clean of dead tissue first, thats where your farrier comes in.
Where on earth are you paying 23 dollars for a single bottle of thrush buster?! Yikes. You're way overpaying if so. Also wouldn't personally consider Dover high end, but they do often run sales.

This is awesome! I’ve always wanted to try this or wondered how it worked!

I wish you knew how helpful you are
Yes she is so great and a awesome place to learn new things!!
You are really ramping up your knowledge of natural health over time - it shows! I'm proud of you! 👍
Tucker is looking beautiful today! I love his short mane🐴 Love your channel!

Thank you thank you thank you Carmella! As a budget equestrian, this helps A LOT.

Kopper Kare is another kind of thrush buster and is way cheaper and works like a charm
Love all your ideas, definitely will be using them. 😊
THANK YOU so much for not putting the annoying’PING’ when you put the code up
We do the exact hay deal. Our neighbor does the cutting and we get what we need. However we had to completely fence off the 50 acres to keep the horses out of it. ❤
Thrush buster is the only thing that works for my horse
I just love your hack videos! Thank you Carmella!🐴

Best of luck! Definitely more expensive to own, but worth it!
@@CarmellaAbel most definitely worth it!
Definitely more expensive to own.
It's way more expensive to own!
Hi Carmella! I have a few questions..
1.Do you NEED to spray your horse with fly spray??
2. What riding boots do you wear?(what brand)
3. What kind of horse is tucker? (He and yoshi are so cuteee) ❤
Thanks for reading, Please try to answer my questions! Have wonderful day everyone!
Yes to the first one
Tucker is a POA..Pony of America…he is 13.1 hands..tall (I remember her saying this)…..do you need to fly spray your horse ? Depends on the time of year and where you live..I live in Wyoming..and we only need to spray in June, July, august and some of September..and type of horse ..my Morgan has a lot of hair and are less bothered than compared to a thin skinned and sparse hair thoroughbred.
Thank you for the great advice!
Thank you. This was really helpful.
Nice tips!
Thank you for a great informative video!!!
I need a hack for a new hack.
I let my lawn grow long at my house in town and then weed eat it and bring it to my horses.
my horse has thrush can you help me
I would contact your farrier, and ask him..I know people who use 50 50 bleach and water solution, the hoof area has to be clean of dead tissue first, thats where your farrier comes in.
That’s wonderful your using homeopathic remedies. So many herbs and great things to use. Especially if you have land you can grown them.
Where on earth are you paying 23 dollars for a single bottle of thrush buster?! Yikes. You're way overpaying if so. Also wouldn't personally consider Dover high end, but they do often run sales.
What is the best food to give to your horses? What is the best medicine for your horses? 😊
I reuse my horses shoes and don’t use shoes if I’m not riding him. Much better for his feet especially when they’re on grass.
I don't have a horse and probably will not have that privilege in my lifetime. So I don't know why I'm learning about how to care for one. Lol
I live in Quebec horses are more expensive 😢
I was the first to watch
Hi I was the first to coment

2nd hi!!!
You are so cute, Rose Leslie.
