So many horses for sale

I now understand what a "hoof kicker" is. I also had a rib polker. Oh yea, I did. My horse didn't care for that at all. But I guess everyone has thier own way of kicking hooves. My biggest pet peeve when looking for a horse is a huge mis judgement in hands. I went to go look at ahorse that was 14.1 and turned out to be 11. lol, big difference! ( well my largest pet peeve is lying, but we won't get me on that soap box)
I'm curious if folks will post thier experiences.

Any local folks heading out to any shows this weekend?

Uncle, Uncle!

Ok, while I'm glad winter is gone (except maybe this weekend I hear????) do you notice your property growing? Ugh, I forgot what work the beautiful weather brings. So aside from mowing, grooming, cleaning stalls and working- I got nuthin. lol. I miss dead grass. lol
I did get out to buy a few bales of hay however.
All I have to say is, if you don't buy hay from a grower you MUST find one. My grower isn't done bailing. I had to buy 2 bales of grass to get us by until Thursday. OMG! Darn near $40 bucks for TWO bales of hay! Where the heck have I been? OUCH. Ok,..... if your buying your hay from the feedstore we need to talk and I must introduce you to a few excellent growers in the Red Bluff area. Your check book will thank me.
Happy Trails!!

Where's Walco?

I posted about the huge savings on vaccinations at Walco Animal Health in Red Bluff, but I guess my site ate it. In these times we can all save some dough, specially horse owners. Right? I bought WNV the other day and found they were $11 cheaper than the feedstore. That is HUGE. I saved over $50 on my purchase. Thats almost TWO trims!!

Also we have a few new horses added to the Classifieds today. I, myself, wouldn't mind one of them. But.... I'm trying to keep money not spend more of it. We also have a dynomite distributor to the Trainer section. Michelle Barnes is a local distributor. I can't afford most the products, but I do keep the DynaPro on hand 24/7. That product is a MUST have!

Have you tried Pyranha Fly Spray? WOW! Thats all I can say. It is a must try, worth it's weight in gold. FINALLY a fly spray that actually works for days. If you find it for less that $18 for a 32 oz bottle, I expect you to share your sources. It is only proper!

I found some other savings I thought I would share. Did you know Costco is carrying rubbermaid water troughs and grain? Weird huh? Ofcourse local Walmart stores carry horse products (Redding & Red Bluff) and I haven't seen that since I was in Kansas. lol.
Anyhow, the water troughs are $59. I would have bought another one, but I was with a friend in thier car.
I also wanted to share that non-profit (501c) equine organizations can advertise for free on our site.
Fees for other advertisments will be added to the home page. Don't worry, they will be recession savvy prices. ;-)

Welcome!

Well we are new to blogging but not new to business. Myself and a few friends felt our area really needed a site to share community events, concerns and information. Hopefully this can work as an amazing tool for local horse owners. Our focus will be the I-5 valley from Sacramento to the Oregon boarder. Towns like Shasta Lake, Redding, Red Bluff, Anderson, Corning, Orland, Woodland, etc just to name a few will benefit. We can list upcoming horse shows and clinics, etc. Won't that be nice?
This blog site and it's partner http://www.norcalhorsecommunity.com/ will be your local horse community connectiom!

SO do you have anything to add? Feedback? Some events you may want to post about that are coming up?
Shoot us an email at shelly@norcalhorsecommunity.com
We'd love to hear from you!
