Contact either Peg or Sue from Rising Star Rescue, they rescue Rotti's. Even HW+ dogs.

Peg @ shurit@bellsouth.net or Sue @ drawdyconst@bellsouth.net

Also contact them to adopt really nice dogs! The rescue organization does a wonderful job.

First aluminum horse trailer that I had was a Dream Coach, very nice trailer....heavy aluminum trailer with nice welds. I upgraded to a living quarters and went with a Lakota....awesome trailer, it is one of the lightest LQ trailer, I pulled it with a 250.

Both are great trailers, have not heard anything bad about either one. Have heard about Hart too, they are good and stable trailers. A friend of mine had one like a trailer-et....fiberglass and aluminum. She had 3 horses, one refused to get in. Once she upgraded to all aluminum she had no problem getting him in. Don't know if it was the trailer or not but she paid 2 trainers to get him in and they could not get him in either.

I reposted your post to Facebook (Swip-Swap) and have had a fantastic response. People are talking about adding a bale or two to each of their own orders and have it on standby to be delivered when needed. Others have went to the website and donated cash. If you are even thinking a little bit about this organization I think you should go take a look. What an outstanding place.

Just dropped off twelve bales of hay. Wow, what an awesome place and such well kept horses. Amy Doucette maybe this could be your next article!

Why not contact Vince Ramos (sp), they are a riding stable for the handicapped. They can always use donations. I am sure you can find their information on this site.

Look under the classified tab, there are a lot of people who clip.

Yes, she does!

Can not recommend Reiki or massage treatment but can tell you to try Salonpas patches. I have had two back surgeries and still have hernitated discs, the only thing that helps with the pain and soreness is the patches. You can buy them at Costco, 120 patches for under $7.00. Just put them where you hurt. You can wear them all day or all night....nothing better and not like icy hot.

Joy,

So happy you are back to work, my babies look great....nothing like a wash and trim up to make them feel better. They are looking forward to the body clipping in March.

Thanks again as always they look great!

My husband did it when we had a screened in patio. I think he used Black Flag (but not positive), I never noticed streaks. I would suggest do it in one corner facing away from the house (otherwise you sill see it all the time and drive yourself nuts!), then do a test patch. Good luck.

Joy, we are still on for Saturday right, for my two babies (wash and trim)?

Amy, I sent you an email about one story idea but even more horsey related....how about a follow up on the adopted horses, I don't know if you can but maybe before and after pictures to let people know how these poor babies can come back from the bones they were before and how much the new owners love them.

Wasp spray....it will usually keep them away for about 6 months.

Where are you located?

I am looking for someone to groom my two horses once a week. is this something you might do?  Call me if interested 561-601-3121.

One of my horses has skin allergies. I use Healthy Coat and have not had the itchy scratchy skin problems like she had in the past. My other horse is a bay, you can see his shinny coat from a mile away. They both look great. Love the product, it has a lot of vitamins and supplements. I but it from Silver Spur because they get it in the 2 1/2 gallon size for me.

Love it!

T & A or just Timothy. I think if you contact Grand Prix they have an account set up. I saw a few of these horses today....absolutely horrible! I wish we could take the owner and give them the same treatment for a while. I do not understand how anyone could watch any animal drop weight this bad and not ask themselves....would they be better off if I gave them up?. Just heart breaking.

Just wanted to add a "Thank you" to ACC too. I could not do what you do. My dogs and cats are all rescues, they know what it is like to do with out and I think they appreciate all that they have. Thanks again.

there is one on Craigslist (Tampa area) under farm/garden

4 Horse hot walker. Runs well. Plug in- no need to have special wiring. No delivery available. $950/OBO

My neighbor uses the corn cob bedding, everytime I go by a Tractor Supply I pick her up as many bags as I can. She uses the CCB in the horses usual pee spot. The CC is coarse but VERY absorbant. It does clump like kitty litter and she says it is very cost effective. The Tractor Supply in Clewiston is really about 30 to 40 minutes away....make a trip out of it and you can have lunch at Sunny's or go to the one in Ft Pierce..there is Cracker Barrel or Red Lobster and if you feel a little crazy head up the road a little more to the outlet mall!!!


PS - call first as we might have raided Tractor Supply first.

I always used Jim Parrish for my safety checks and mechanical work. His prices are fantastic and quality is top notch. He is off Southern and Seminole Pratt. 561-798-1643.

If you want someone to detail the trailer inside and out my brother is starting a buisness you can call him at 954-496-6823 tell him Kerin sent you. He will be worth your time. Call me at 561-601-3121 if you have any problems.

They are all great.

I used American Tree Service, their prices were fantastic and their work was unbelievable. Roy 373-6117 or Jimmy 329-0213. They do it all too, trees down, stump removal, palms trimmed, etc.

Unfortunately you can not report them for price gouging, that only can happen when the state is in a "state of emergency". It does show you how some people will take advantage of any situation. Do not judge all people this way, not everyone takes advantage of people. Good luck.

I think that is outrageous! How many did you move? When are they planning to go back?

BUMP

Palm Beach Animal Care and Control has been airboating in feed and hay to stranded livestock and horses...I believe mostly in DeerRun. They are suggesting anyone that wants to help can donate to any of the area feed stores. Just call and tell them you would like to donate to ACC. The donations would be very helpful because it is feared a lot of animals might be given up soon do to extra costs associated with the floods. I am sure most people think the owners can afford to take care of their own, but sadly that does not seem to be the case.....whether can not or will not. Remember they are probably facing a lot more expenses of feed, hay, and now vet bills. ACC is predicting horses and livestock will be given up due to increasing costs (feed and vet care) so they are expecting to take in horses. A very sad situation all the way around. Thank you for all your help.

Friends and Neighbors:

The water level has not dropped in Deer Run and Animal Care and Control will be
back tomorrow (Sunday) to deliver fresh water and food via airboat.

I am contacting you to let you know that the donation of hay, grain, bug spray,
etc that was promised will not be coming. If any if you are able to spare
anything for our neighbors, please contact me. We will be meeting the airboat at
10 am. Even something as simple as a few flakes of hay or horse spay is
appreciated.

Please share this with neighbors, especially those in Fox Trail. Time is
important as we will only have this afternoon to gather supplies.

My cell is 398-8753.

Just to add, I picked up microchips from ACC and had my vet implant them into my horses. I figure just in case they get out or mistakenly (wink, wink) stolen this will be just one more proof of ownership.

ACC will sell you the chip but they require you have your vet install it. $10.00 per chip.

Thanks everyone for looking at all sides of the issues.

I have really been trying not to post on this topic but I just have to. To say the deputies murdered these dogs.....yes the dogs are victims here but so are the deputies. I am in law enforcement and would be devastated if I had to shoot a dog but my motto is "I (and my people) go home safe at night." Everyone is so quick to jump on a blog and post about "those cops/deputies" maybe those with the quick fingers on the keyboards should put up or shut up. Try to walk/ride a night in our boots. When you HAVE to go to a house or out with a suspect...you have no choice, you do not have the luxury to say "excuse me nice sir, would you please put up your puppies?", you have to go in and do what you have to do. Our jobs require that we go into certain situations where we have to take deadly force.....even against dogs. When you start talking about us using our tasers or pepperspray, yes these are less than lethal force tools that we have but they are not always something we could use in certain situations. For one, if the deputy used his/her taser, it only has one shot so he/she would have only been able to hit one dog....what are the other two going to be hit with? And if the deputy missed then he/she would have to transition to their handgun....this would take valuable time and could allow the deputy to be injured. Pepperspray against three dogs....not a good idea either, maybe if it was against one but spraying 3 dogs when they are rushing you, odds are you will not be able to spray all three. Bottom line is the owner put the dogs in harms way, why not bash the owner instead of the deputies. Oh yeah and while we are playing in the yard with the dogs what do you think the owner is doing.....just waiting for the deputies to be done playing with his dogs....sitting on the curb like an upstanding citizen waiting to be put in handcuffs.

My friend makes Gatorade Popsicles (freezes Tupperware bowls) then gives them to her horses...they love it. Also, add watermelon wedges to the waterbucket....some really like that. I have also heard of adding peppermint candies to the water bucket. I too give minerals but to get them to drink sometimes you got to add something fun.

You should call Silver Spur 798-6651 and On Course Consignment (info here on this site) to ask what they have in stock. They both have a huge amount of used saddles.

Good luck

Antec, the only way to go! We have them come out twice a year and never have to think about it.

Call Palm Beach County Animal Care and Control.....they just might do it once they hear your story.

I just saw on Craigslist, tiki hut for sale by the pet supply store in the KMART (always will be KMART plaza). I do not know anything about it, but thought I would mention it.

Ingrid, try the one in Clewiston. They do not have to be in the same town, I used to use the one in Margate.

At approximately 6:10 AM today (7/30) I saw a male greyhound running south on Lion Country Safari Road, he was last seen heading west on the c.a.n.a.l bank (the second one north of Southern Blvd). He is a brindle colored greyhound with a collar on. Sorry but he would not come to me.

I hope whoever is missing him finds him.

I would think so, give him a call.

Absolute awesome mechanic, I take my trailer to him once a year for safety check .... his prices are fantastic.

The ad is for "Zoombak", it is a 2.5 ounce water-resistant GPS. It costs $99.95.

There is an ad in the Trailriders magazine for sometype of GPS. Never really paid attention before.........just so sad.

Please look at the post that said searching Tuesday

Latest update:

No, he has not been found and David and Vicki are trying to get a group together this weekend. The horse (Gemini) has been missing for 10 days as of today. They still believe he is in the park and alive. First, David was riding Gemini when the saddle became loose, going under the horse who in turn took off. During the searches they have located the stirups but nothing else that I know of. However, they also have not seen buzzards either, which is why they think he is still alive. The park is about 98% fenced, it is down in two spots thanks to a cow.

If you plan on going the Bluefield Ranch is on State Road 70 between I95 and the Beeline. It takes about an hour and a half to get there. I would also suggest bug spray, there were pockets with deer flies, we used human off which stopped them completely.

I will not be going on Saturday because I have to work,I work shift work and from 4 PM to 4 AM, just happened that today fell on my day off. I am sure David and Vicki would be grateful to whoever shows up. I just met them today, they were very nice and extremely concerned about their horse. They can be reached at 561-339-3116.

Good luck, anyone that goes please post how it went and if Gemini has been found. Thanks.

Thanks hopefully we find him if not maybe someone can put together another search party another day. If I am off of work, I would be willing to help. Would hope to have people helping me if needed.

Thanks again.

Please see other post about lost horse in Jupiter. The horse is actually lost in Port Saint Lucie, Bluefield Ranch. I am leaving to go up there around 7 AM. anyone that wants to go please call me 561-601-3121, so maybe we can travel together.

The horse is missing from the Bluefield Ranch, off State Road 70. According to mapquest it is about an hour and a half from Wellington. I am going Tuesday morning (7/10) about 7 am and meeting Vicki (the owner) to search. Anyone else that wants to come please let me know so we can meet up and search together.

561-601-3121

Anyone going on Tuesday 7/10?

Getting owners #'s so maybe we can meet tomorrow to search.

PM'd you. they are still looking for him. 7/9/12 10 AM

I don't know if you have thought about contacting a shredding company.....if all you need is strips of paper they might sell it. Just thinking out side the "stall" 

Call the Rising Star Rotti Rescue, they have advertised a person who trains agility. Call Peg @ 741-0556 or email Sue @ drawdysd@bellsouth.net

Have to agree....Silver Spur is the best. Kris carries everything and has GREAT prices!  798-6651 Just off 441 and Industrial Parkway in Royal Palm.

Have you looked at Silver Spur? She has some nice show pieces in there.

American Tree Service....Roy 373-6117 or Jimmy 329-0213. Complete professionals with great prices.

Not only do they have the equipment to take the trees down, they also have the equipment to do the stump grinding right then too.

Marc Perry, advertises on this site.

I saw an awesome looking one at Silver Spur!

Call Nicola at K9 International, it is in North Palm Beach (I think). Her and her husband Bob own the kennel and train dogs. Bob is retired PBSO Lt. who trained their police dogs for years and is still training dogs from around the country.

Try calling Palm Beach Animal Care and Control, ask them if there are other Golden rescues around. We rescue rotti's and they were able to get us intouch with one in Jupiter that we had not heard of. We adopted two together because they were left together in their crates in a foreclosed house.....we were happy to adopt them both.

He does a great job at a great price.

I have not seen much at Dupuis lately but you can see deer, hogs, snakes, birds etc. You will see more at St Sebastian since they are a no hunt zone. I have only ever seen racoons near camp. It is fun most animals are away from your area as they hear you coming but once in a while you might have a deer pop up in the wood near where you are at, just enough to make your horse startle.

8Belles, please try again.....it is a great place to camp. Before I go not only do I check their web site to check dates I also check the South Fla trail riders web site because if they are going there it will be packed beyond the stall and paddock capabilities. They do not go too often but worth checking first. There are also other great horse camping sites near by like St Sebastian or Hickory Hammock. Very nice too and St Sebastian does not allow hunting so it is open when the others are closed.
