DIY Projects

<p>This is Episode 29 of Season 3 and in it, Jec interviews Donna-Maria Flood of <a href= "https://www.theuniversityofhorsemanship.com/around-the-farm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">DMventions</a>. Donna Maria has scores of simple fixes and DIY projects for your horse spaces and equipment. Most are inexpensive and don’t require a year-long carpentry apprenticeship. Make it in 10 minutes, for less than 10 bucks is more like it.</p> <p>This episode may require you to do some visualization, and, if you’re interested. Check out <a href= "https://www.theuniversityofhorsemanship.com/around-the-farm" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Donna-Maria’s website</a> for instructions and videos on many of the projects. We also have a few DIY projects on NickerNews, for <a href= "https://nickernews.net/diy-saddle-racks/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">saddle racks</a> and <a href= "https://nickernews.net/kicking-horse-coffee/" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">headstall hangers</a>.</p> <p>Oh, one more thing:</p> <p>This is a busy time of year for trying out gear and getting more active. For instance, Jec and I are trying out some new styles of Hoka running shoes. The best brand, in our humble, for trail running. Also, <a href="https://www.duckworthco.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Duckworth</a> and <a href= "https://chillangel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Chill Angel</a> are two fantastic brands using fine wool and making clothing in the US. We like wool because it’s more durable and a whole lot less body odor-y than other fabrics. I’m wearing <a href= "https://www.duckworthco.com/collections/womens-sweatshirts/products/womens-polaris-hooded-henley" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Duckworth’s hooded henley</a> in spruce green. Like Chill Angel’s sleepwear, it is warm when I need it to be and cool when I need it to be. Kind of magical.</p> <p><a href="https://nickernews.net/discounts-giveaways-abound/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Head here for giveaways and discounts.</a></p> <p>Also, I want to mention <a href="htt
