Back to our regularly scheduled topic

This is the poor cowgirls version of the Equine Vac N Blo. I bought mine at Lowes for less than 30 bucks!Mine has wheels, get the one with wheels. Star thought it was some fabulous massage machine until the floor attachment thingy sucked itself to her butt. That didn't go so well. Other than that she liked it. These are a priceless piece of equipment with a high shedding shaggy horse like I have. This year I have this to do the work for me! Plus it also is a blower, also a very cool option at shows! Ladies go get one, and then order the extra accessories online.


The Mrs. Barn Owner kept saying" she is so calm about it, she acts like it's no big deal" I replied " I make her do all sorts of crazy things, she is used to Mamma's antics" My husband shrugged and agreed that Star does put up with alot and is generally very good about it.
Star will be vacuumed like a rug on a regular basis this year.
I had a fantastic post about Star and how I expect her to behave when introduced to new things and places. How I train her to do what is expected of her when I ask her to do something foreign. But Blogger went POOF and it was gone. So I will have to save that for another post.
So go forth and Vac your Ponies!

ps...you said 'go forth and vacuum'
Well, my word verification says "andshne" I take that to mean
"And Shine"

Which is what Star will be doing after all her yak fur is vacuumed away come Spring :D

She is definitly a Yak for sure right now. A dirty smelly cranky holstein-esque YAK.

The clippers are screaming to get to her muzzle, bridle path and fetlocks. I keep her fur short on her legs in Winter so I can medicate the rain rot she gets every year.
GROSS!

You and your wacky pony torture devices!! MEanest MOMMY EVER!!!
I have always wondered about a horse vac, maybe this year

Jocelyn said...

Jp!
Meanest Mommy Ever???

THat's what the BBFF calls me too!
Wait until Miss Thang gets a learnin on my soon to be new mad round pen skillz.
SHA-ZAM!
Last night she got schooled about taking off when I asked her to come here at liberty. I chased her and made her run and yelled across the arena
" You want to come to Mommy and go inside? Or do You want to keep running?" Well, she literally turned tail and ran to me and came to a screeching halt in front of me.
Yeah that's what I thought you big doof! I am SO the MEANEST !

That is a great idea - the horse vacuums are just too expensive and for why? A regular shop-vac; brilliant. And wheels - great idea.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
I'm not very web savvy so I'm not 100% sure. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
