About This Blog

Hello and welcome.

I am a tinkerer at heart, and my small farm offers me plenty of opportunities to exercise my mechanical and practical side. I want to provide readers with a place to find and share useful horse keeping tips and ideas.

Be imaginative and unintimidated…riders and horse lovers of all abilities and levels of experience are welcome here and all ideas have merit.

Let's start the conversation!

Thought I was going to be a millionaire!

This is my first post--I'm excited to get started!

I made a short video on keeping rubber horse stall mats from shifting and lifting. You watch the video directly on my site or you can watch it on youtube.com. If you like it, please rate it!

My rubber stall mats lift and shift. This has been an on-going headache of mine for some time now. I thought if I could solve this problem I will be rich! I knew lots of other people curse these mats on a daily basis as they scrape urine-soaked bedding from under them. Yuk.

I was determined to conquer this problem and make my fortune…build an indoor ring…climate controlled…you know the dream. I spent hours devising various solutions…but"the solution" remained elusive. Finally, I gave up. My millions were not going to come from my Brilliant, Foolproof, Rubber Stall Mat Anti-Lifting Device. Oh well.

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, it hit me. A simple solution--but one that uses tools and supplies that you probably have in your junk drawer, so I won't be building my dream barn with the profits from its sale.

Good luck and thanks for reading!
