Right Attention to Colts and Colt Development
Horse owners should care for colts to maximize growth and value. Demand for army horses increases exports of lightweights, but many will be replaced by heavier farm horses. Feeding and careful handling in the first two to three years significantly boosts final weight and selling price, with 200 to 300 extra pounds making a large difference.
Provide Bees With Water

Well Braced Long Ladder
Farmers who use long ladders often find them weak at the proper angle. This problem can be solved with a wire brace. Have a blacksmith make two V shaped irons and fasten them to the side sills with small bolts. Bore small holes through sills at each end.
Ladder brace method boosts ladder strength
Two lengths of No 9 wire are threaded through sill holes to form a lock with the wire ends turned back over pins. The wire is then looped over the V irons, drawn tight with a lever, and fastened at the other end in the same manner. The brace doubles ladder strength at little cost.
Handling Mares Before and After Foaling Time
With foaling time approaching the mare's gravitation should be reduced by feeding seeds like bran and roots. Provide an enemy box stall or open grassy lot. After foaling the mare should not be worked for ten to fifteen days, then only lightly.
