Thank you!!! So many channels show what they feed, but none tell when they feed, how much they feed, etc… great video!

Ur videos have improved so much and I'm addicted to ur channel. I'm only 14 and want to start a homestead when I'm older but little acerage costs millions of dollars where I live. Sad life...

That is a lot of horses to take in. A wise old man told me years ago "don't collect horses" he was spot on. To many people collect them and then can't keep up on the work and expense that is involved. Also they don't have the time it takes to train them well to be safe and have manners. ☀️❤️☀️

Great video, thank you. I separate my 3 horses at feeding time too. Great tip about the diatomaceous earth for worming. I buy good quality hay too and also go through a bail a day. They are easy keepers so they only need a balancer and I use enrich by purina. They do get a few a few Suppliments, one horse needs help for his joints and another gets senior support.

I am so jealous of her with all her animals!! Would love to be her friend so I can come over and enjoy them as well.Sadly my house has a very small yard only for dog and some chickens. God Bless her for all the care and love she provides to her animals.👏🏼🙏🏼😍

Becky, how much DE do you add to their feed? How often do you use the DE to worm them?

What do you do to control flies in the pasture and around the animals? I'm curious especially since you go all natural and I know flies can be tough to get rid of without chemicals.

Great video!! 😄 Quick question: Do you set out one bale of hay for each or one bale for all 3?

Becky, I don't see where to look or get the two items you mentioned for my animals. Dewormer and something else. I am so glad we bumped into one of your videos a year ago. I have grown fawn of you. You are inspiring and even when your upset you take things well. Like the time you asked your son to repeat what he said for all of us to hear and he refused to. He made you do it yourself. You were calm and collected and I wish I was more like that. I would have came unglued on video. You are wonderful. I really would like to check out those items you offered.

i used to feed my chinchilla with those alfalfa cubes

I give mine alfalfa ant Timothy cubes (soaked) 2 get minerals with it but my seinor horse gets a low sugar seinor feed in the alfalfa with rice bran and no minerals, there's minerals in the feed. I separate my older girl from the other 2 ( Hanovarian and a mini ) it works great because the mini eats slow and my Hanovarian polishes her's of and eats the rest of the mini's, the mini only gets about 1 or 2 cups, 'maybe' lol I get 4x5 round bales for 45.00 each and a bale last 2 to 3 weeks depending how cold it is.

Very true, training is the most time consuming and the most important part that nobody considers. Hospital bills are very expensive too. That "free" horse can turn into a huge problem fast. People need the think it through and make a wise decision ☀️❤️☀️

the earth I use for my garden too, the gold (minerals) I will try both, but how do you worm them with this stuff? Put it in their feed? Also DUMB QUESTION, do you vaccinate?

Where I ride the horse had recently had a visit from the farrier. She would not lift her back left hoof to be cleaned before riding. The owner still let me ride her. I later got upset because I felt she must have been in pain. What do you think was wrong?

good info Thunder is a cutie

What do you spend for feeding supplies in your area such as hay etc you didn't go over cost of items

Awesome stuff, I got tired just watching you, I had just spent some time taking care of my 2 dogs that are small and medium and then cleaning the bathroom after them, wow, I am spent, God bless you. I raw feed my dogs, sometimes cooked, have done if for years on all kinds of dogs and use Dr Dobias products or human grade probiotics/vitas designed for dogs, since they are service dogs I need to keep them tip top. We have rescued all kinds of dogs and after losing one dog to a kibble recall and almost another, I saw the drastic difference in all the dogs. So after decades of raising dogs cooked/raw human grade food with no grains is best and it makes it less painful as they stay healthy until about the last year of their lives when old age becomes too much for them. There are a lot of holistic vets on-line like Dr's- Pitcairn, Becker, Dobias, Jones, and many more for guidance. Keep sharing I love it, the animals are great. Do you have a video on what exercise/ activity your equines do in a day? Thanks and blessings.

Do you add the diatomaceous earth every day to their feed for de-worming or how do you use it for that?

@BeckysHomestead

Go to my web site Beckyshomestead.com then click on Horses. I made a video on how to worm with DE. ☀️❤️☀️

Is that all you feed a day? Because I am wanting to get a horse I haven't had one since I was younger. When I get older I plan to homestead and make a little money. I am only 11 days from becoming 14. I haven't had horses since I was about 7ish.

Becky, what do you pay for a square bale of grass hay? Do the 3 horses share one bale per day? I have a horse and a mini. They get grass hay, alfalfa pellets, loose mineral and mineral blocks. They cost me about $100/ month for the 2 of them for feed.

Hi Becky where do you get your hay and what is the name of it

Do you crimp your own oats or purchase them that way?

When I was in my uncle's farm in Mexico, he used to feed corn to his 2 donkeys and his horse, now that I've learned about equines, I find that that's not whar an equine should eat. And by the way, do you let youe equines eat the fresh grass or you only give them the hay the oats and alfalfa?

@BeckysHomestead

6 жыл бұрын

Equines can eat whole corn, but most don't need the calories. Mine do eat the grass. Donkeys and mules are dessert animals so too much grass is not that good for them because they will get too fat. Thunder is a Haflinger pony so he also gets fat easy. ☀️❤️☀️

Here we have all kinds of horse pellets. Low in Sugar, for ponys, working horses, competition etc. So much easier and you just buy what you need. How much does a bale of hay cost where you live? Horse food isn't expensive here so there's no way I spend 100 dollars (or euros) a month on one animal. F.i. 40 pounds of pellets cost about a tenner, and that's the expensive one.

Becky, I think you do a fabulous job of explaining things. Excellent teacher. I love your “regular gal” style. Can I say just one picky little thing, being the animal lover I am: God created animals “male and female”, he/she, like us humans. I wish people would not refer to them as “it”. Like they’re a thing, a rock, a tree, with no feelings and emotional as well as physical needs like us. I know you love your animals and it shows, but I’m thinking of those who don’t treat animals with care, who already treat them as if they’re nothing more than an “it” that they can abuse. Thought I give it a share, since you have many followers and influence.

HI Becky, I have a chicken question (actually 2) but don't know which video to attach it to, so here goes! I look for videos that will answer my questions so I don't add work to your busy day, but so far, haven't found the answer to these questions: 1) My neighbor that shares MY chicken coop - I built it for $400 and the property line was assessed to reveal an error; my coop is on the new owners property, not mine (I rent for YEARS, lovely landlords...) . Argh! We agreed to share the coop instead of tearing it down. So far, all is well, but the neighbor thinks the diatomaceous earth is not good for chickens/animals (???). I have not found any serious information to tell me that it is not good for the chicks. The eggs totally have poop on them so...I want to follow your directions (I have chickens in the coop too!). So, I'm asking you if you know anything negative about Diatomaceous earth for chickens. Question #2): Coop partner brought a big bag of shell calcium bits. Do the chickie babies need grit AS WELL? Or is the shell calcium (which is very gritty and hard and sometimes even sharp - bits of oyster shells..) enough to help them digest properly? Thanks so much for all you do! Love the channel!

@BeckysHomestead

First, I have used DE for years and years on ALL my animals, never, ever the slightest problem. Worms are very damaging to any animal. Just mix some DE into "your" bag of chicken food. When you get a new 50 pound bag, add a cup of DE and mix it through reaching down as far as you can. Mix it in well. Then your chickens are all set. As far as the crushed oyster shells go, it is a good thing and all the chickens should have access to it at all times. ☀️❤️☀️

@flyingcheff

Thank you so much, but are the oyster shells alone, enough, or do I ALSO need "grit", that was my question. And again, thanks so much, you are the wise mama of this amazing style of living!

I'm kind of curious where you guys are getting hay for it to be $100 a month because for me to get just grass hay it's $5 for a small bail and can go up from there

Horses could also confuse twine or "string" for hay and they could eat it, and it won't digest because if the material it is made out of, and they will colic which is a stomachache but they will roll to try to relive the pain and there organs will twist and they will suffocate and die basically. There is surgery but it is expensive and it will save the horse but a majority of horses are out down because it is a cheaper solution but sad. But it is all the person's fault because they didn't cut the twine.

Thunder is pretty

cheap if you have a lot of horses who need hay/forage as well as grass, not if you have one horse/don't need to feed in summer, my horse costs me 20-40 in food for roughly 2 months, that's store bought food, if she wasn't growing and grass was good all year round I'd just give her hay and that'd be about 20 a month, maybe even nothing if the grass was still good, so tbh this isn't that cheap, also beware of "cheap alternatives" when it comes to the state of your horses stomach it is not worth fucking around with if your horse gets a bellyache you are (the horse rather) is fucked, can't throw up? gonna collic.
