Michelle,
Thanks so much for your response. Unfortunately Moscow isn't close enough to pick your brain about good local farriers, vets or hay producers, but it's nice to know there is a Horseman's Adviser member "nearby." By the way, welcome to HA. I rarely post, but I've learned tons in the years I've been a member. |

Patricia, I'm in Southwest Idaho--not close by any means, but I have an excellent vet and a great farrier. Email me at the email in my profile for their names and numbers. Perhaps they would have a reccommendation. The farrier does clinics and may have had an attendee from your area. |

We're in Weippe - which is getting closer - but afraid we're far enough away that sources wouldn't be much help - There is plenty of hay up here - but absolutely no other resources. We even order our dog food and his treats. We're new too and I'm just hoping I can manage to make it through the winter without needing a vet. The road up here is 17 miles of switchbacks - two lane - with many curves marked down to 15 mph - Right now we have close to 18 inches of snow on the ground with snow predicted for the next 10 days - probably another foot or more. Your best bet would be to talk with local horsemen -

Cheryl,
Thanks for your response. We're at a much lower elevation than you so the most snow we've had at one time is 5 inches, and that didn't come until last weekend. I came from Maryland and am used to having horse resources much closer than what I'm finding here. It takes a bit of getting used to! I've been worried about having enough hay for the winter, but I think I'm going to be OK. With producers getting only one cutting each year in this area, getting small bales of reasonably good hay is not as easy as I would like. Hope your horses stay safe and you'll have no need for a vet. |
