task of having to give our horse a shot. Watch Thomas Casselberry, DVM of
Fairfield, CA and learn from a real pro. Remember, as with all horse related

Horse Cookie Recipes.
We've posted a
collection
of delicious home-made horse cookies (you'll be
tempted to taste them yourself!) They're all
super-easy to make -- there's even a couple of microwave and no-bake recipes (see below). Your horse
will say "Yum! I want one right now!".
Microwave Horse Cookies. 2 cups of flour, 5 cups of oatmeal, 1/2 cup corn oil, 1 clove of garlic, 1 cup
of diced carrots. Combine ingredients in bowl. Make small balls, place on
microwaveable plate, flatten balls. Bake at high for 6 minutes per batch.
Easy No Cook Snaps. 4 Cups of bran, 4 Cups of applesauce. Mix ingredients together. Batter should be
doughy. Roll out with rolling pin, cut shapes with cookie cutter. Let dough dry
and serve.

Dupont has gone places on horseback that few
riders have. The owner of Castle Rock Arabians in Walnut Creek has ridden 1,637
miles of the Pacific Crest Trail, a distance that includes all of the trail in
California and parts of it in Oregon and Washington. "I was never attracted to riding around and
around in an arena, Nancy says. "In my mind, I was the cowgirl traveling west." Castle Rock offers horse boarding close to Mt. Diablo trails, a
summer day camp program and year round lessons. Visit

 Does
horse manure post a significant risk to human health? Not
according to the findings in "Diseases
of Humans and Horses (Zoonosis)", a new paper published this week by Faye
Brophy DVM, Carole Bridgeman RN, Adda Quinn EnviroHorse, and Lyndall Erb PhD.
The authors became concerned
about information being provided to the public about the extent to which horses
pose threats to human health from exposure to manure deposited on public trails.
Their research
shows
that the risk of horse fecal pathogens infecting humans (zoonosis) is extremely
small.

 Happy Sez:
Make your own fly spray and save money!
Here are two recipes that
include Avon's Skin So Soft. Both are effective on flies
and safe enough to use on your own skin. #1 Basic Fly Spray: 6 full caps of Skin so Soft, 1 cup white vinegar, a good
squirt of Ivory liquid soap.  Put in a 32 oz spray bottle and fill with water.
Shake gently to mix. #2 U.S. Forest Service Bug Spray: 1 cup water, 1 cup Avon Skin So
Soft Bath Oil, 2 cups vinegar, 1 tbs. Eucalyptus oil (found in health food stores); Optional: A
few tablespoons of citronella oil. Shake well before spraying on horse, human or
dog. Who is
Happy? | |
