[edit]Articles I've Started

• Make a Haynet This is the first article I wrote. I had been meaning to write one about making rope halters as well, but there is already one about that.
• Decorate a Christmas Tree Elegantly This was to answer a request. I was happy to find a request I knew enough about to answer.
• Deal with a Horse with 'Movement Vices' This was to answer a question from a user. I originally covered all vices but there is another article that covers "mouthy vices".
• Discipline a Horse Without Using Aggression I wrote this because I was unhappy with some of the advice being given in some of the horse articles about disciplining horses.
• Wash a Horse Rug This is the worst part of spring! This is how I do it. Hopefully people will add their own ways.
• Clean the Sheath of a Horse This is the best advert for keeping a mare! I thought that the horse articles here didn't prepare people for the more "glamorous" side of horse ownership. Next, being farted on (if you're lucky), pee and pus!
• Save Time and Money As a Horseowner Before you can become a horseowner you have to take a vow of poverty, so this should be helpful to all horseowners. When I wrote this I was laid-up so not earning much, which is how I thought of this. (Featured Article Candidate)
• Condition Score a Horse I was editing Correctly Feed a Horse and added a step about monitoring the weight of a horse. I couldn't fully explain about condition scoring in that article so I make this one. (Featured Article)
• Heat Water Using Solar Energy This came from the need to expand another article as well. I was editing a WI article, Give Your Large Dog a Bath and thought the dog might like some warm water. I've never used this to wash a dog, but I have used it to take a shower (always in the middle of the day). Of course when it's cold and wet, and you really want a warm shower it doesn't work!
• Make a Feed Scoop This also came from editing Correctly Feed a Horse. The idea of making feed scoops out of bottles is as old as the hills, but (as far as I know) I came up with the idea of making them so they held a certain amount of feed. I have done this since I started feeding my horse a product called Blue Chip. They put one of their products in a container that can be used to measure their other products. So that's where the idea came from.
• Use a Tape to Weigh a Horse This also came from editing Correctly Feed a Horse. I don't really use this very often and rely on condition scoring to monitor weight, but it is basic horse care knowledge. I have quite a few weight tapes, which I all got free from feed manufactures or magazines. (Featured Article Candidate)
• Cope With Losing Faith in Your God I wrote this because some other articles read like losing faith is somehow a good thing, or something that can be controlled. There was nothing to help cope. It needs a fair amount added, hopefully by lots of different people. This is a very personal thing, so no two people will deal with it the same way.
• Manage a Laminitis Prone Horse I have always kept my horse on laminitis management, though she has never had laminitis (touch wood), she is a good-doer and part pony. Another user's horse had a bout of laminitis that triggered me to write this article.

[edit]Bits and Bobs

These are little useful tips I know. They aren't enough to make an article, so I will put them here until I can find a suitable article to add them to.

• Cut fruit&veg thinly/to avoid bruising with a serrated knife.
