Measure from the middle of the chest----down the side to the base of the tail.

How does one measure for a blanket?

I just took a trip to ebay, and there are two 42" mini horse / goat blankets for $9.99, plus $15 shipping.  Says they are new.  That would make each blanket $12.50. The item # is 220557806078 .  They have several different sizes for the same price.

This past December, I missed three blankets for the same price.  I had written to them asking how to measure.  I didn't hear back, by the time I resent them a mail, that deal was gone.

Thank you so much Flossie for sending along this tidbit. I ordered one
of the XXXL from Big Dees. I was amazed at the quick shipment and it
fits all of my pacas. It *almost* fits my 2 miniature horses. I have
a waterproof blanket for the big horse but the minis have had nothing
this cold wet winter and I have vowed never to go thru another winter
without some protection for my 4 leggeds. This has been a most unusual
winter for us and this is not an item that will get much use around here
(in GA) so I was not willing to spend a bundle for them - haven't needed
them in all the years I've had these guys, and may never again, but will
feel much better knowing they are here. I will now wait for them to go
on sale and get one for everybody at the $12.95 price you got. I feel
certain I can buy some wide velcro and extend the belly strap to make
them fit the 2 horses - the front buckles fit ok on the very first hole,
but the belly strap just will not make it around their rather rotund
bellies lol. It should be an easy alteration by adding a length of
wide velcro. There's nothing in the horse world anywhere close to this
price.
Thanks again, I *really* appreciate your sharing!

RE: [AlpacaTalk] Dog Blankets

 

Hi Janice, The first year I had alpacas I spent more than double for a few tiny cria coats. The ones I bought from Big Dee's (dog coats) the next year were just as nice. Now that you've bought from them and they have your email address you should get notice of all thier specials. I have bought the dog coats for $12.95 3 years in a row and try to spread the word. I'll let you know just in case when I get notice. It's usually in early spring.

[AlpacaTalk] File - Rules Reminder!

Rules Reminder!

This file is sent to all members via Yahoo's automated groups messaging function once each month. Sometimes we all need reminders, or even a little nudge now and then. Occasionally, issues arise that upset some, and that upsets others. Let's all remember that everyone has a valid opinion, even if you don't agree with it. And some people express themselves in a way that you may not like. No one is perfect. My delivery frequently makes people angry. I don't set out with this as my goal, but sometimes it is the outcome. My goal is always to inform, and to start or continue discussion.

I feel that rules are really not needed when mature, thoughtful adults interact with each other. However, there are a few points that seem to need reinforcement.

1. No flaming or insults please. BE RESPECTFUL TO OTHER MEMBERS. Some people's opinions are not going to be popular with everyone. Some people's complaints will upset some other people. As a community, those voicing concern are actually asking for others to join in conversation to find a solution to the perceived problem. That doesn't require insults and mud-slinging. Defamation, libel, and character assassination will not be tolerated on this group, at all. I can't be more clear on this matter. Zero tolerance, period.

2. No attempts at silencing someone with a differing point of view. I think this is the most offensive thing one can do. Everyone is entitled to their point of view and opinion. Conversely, everyone has the right to offer a differing point of view, and to try to change the views of those they don't agree with. However, name calling and accusing others of this or that will not work. It will only make people angry. So that won't be tolerated on this group.

3. No hit and run posts. Those are posts in which only a link to a website has been posted with little or no information regarding the nature of the content, and frequently, no information as to the identity of the person making the post. Posts with links to your own website should include information relevant to a current conversation on the group, and your web page should be relevant. No links to sales pages of any kind are allowed (except on Fridays)!

4. Advertising is allowed on this group, only on Fridays. This includes posts for herdsires for hire, any animals for sale, anything alpaca farming related, for sale or hire.

5. Always identify yourself! Please make a signature block with your name, location, farm name (if any), along with your phone number and web URL if desired.


Thanks for being a member of AlpacaTalk!
