Welcome! After some pretty heavy rain last night, everything is getting green here! We have a good size garden plowed, and when it dries up enough, we'll be able to start planting. It seems too early to me, but the growing season is longer down here than it was in Ohio. I hope I'm up to the work it will require. It's been several years since I had a serious garden. I remember how much I enjoyed working in the garden, and the satisfaction I felt when we had a good garden. One year I had a flower garden that grew petunias that resembled TREES. They were gigantic. At the time, I attributed the success of that flower garden with plenty of horse manure. But since then, I think the success was due to the time I spent working and enjoying, and being grateful for the experience. I hope the garden is one of the things that provides me some relaxation and stress reduction this year. Enjoy the newsletter! I had mentioned several months ago, the Equine Affaire that was to be held in Kentucky. I was really counting on going, but I had to work that day. My husband and daughter were able to go! Shelle had her picture taken with Clinton Anderson! And, of course also got a signed poster. There were exhibits on every breed, association booths, and vendors for anything you could possibly need for a horse. There were also many informational booths on other agricultural areas. The equine Affaire is coming to Columbus, Ohio in April. You can get more info, schedules, a list of exhibitors, maps, and more at http://www.equineaffaire.com/ 3. Resources As an animal owner, the National Animal Identification System (NAIS) will soon affect you, if it hasn't already. This System's plan is to microchip all animals in the country, and enter both them and any premises they may ever be on in databases. This system is not just about identifying animals, but is also about tracking each and every animal in the country. They tell us it is about disease control - but they already track that quite well. That's right - each and every animal. Do you show your horses? Do you trail ride? Do they occasionally get out? Do you take your dog for walks? Do you have a few chickens in your barnyard, or a barn cat to keep down mice? Are you aware that you will have to register your premises - even if you do not own animals - if somebody with a dog visits you for even a few hours? Do you know how much the fees for everything are going to run? Do you know how other countries have handled - or have mishandled - their animal identification systems? What happens when your barn cat has kittens, and you didn't register the visit of their father, even if you didn't know about it? How will this affect your business, or the animals that you keep for milk, eggs, or meat? Exactly how involved do you want the government in your personal life? Isn't the government involved ENOUGH in your business and personal life? Join us on March 20, 2006 as we discuss these issues. The call is free, beyond what your phone service charges for toll calls.The call should go about 90 minutes, and you should definitely reserve your copy of the audio and transcript. For more info or to sign up visit http://www.1automationwiz.com/app/aftrack.asp?afid=334047 I am currently attending one of the teleclasses that were offered at Equine Teleseminars. The series I am in the middle of is How to Start and Run a Rescue. It has been really interesting with all the stories the instructor has after so many years of practical experience. I highly recommend the free teleseminar above. I'm sure most people aren't aware of just what is in the works for animal owners and lots of other groups until a free service like this spends money, time and energy for such a worthy cause. A few months down the road, you could be forced to do something, and get angry because nobody told you it was coming. Well, here it is! :) Go to the link above and get informed! This is a very small list. If you know anyone else who could benefit from this, please let them know. 4. Fun! The link below has MANY fun things to do, as well as many educational articles. http://www.angelfire.com/tx3/equinekids/patterns.html 5. This is a strictly optin list. We value your privacy.
