Remedy for horse wipe!!
Who wants to spend hundreds of dollars on horse wipe that probably isn't very good for your horse and doesn't always work well, its like throwing money out the window. Here is great solution that I learned from a friend. 1 part Dettol and 8 parts oil and you got some great horse wipe. Shake well before every use should turn white in color. You can find both these items at WaI-Mart for about $15.00 for both. I find that it really helps the horses swollen go down, from bug bites, and the oil helps it stay on the horse longer, while giving them a shiny coat as well.

You will need five palates and one 1000lb bale of hay. Put the hay in desired placing in horse pen with the flat spot down to the ground. Take palates and place around bale of hay until all hay is covered on the sides.Tie palates in place with string or hay wire. Try to place all the palates on there sides with the 1/4 running vertical to the ground. Then let them have at it!!
