Comments: I wanted an equine dentist to check my horses' teeth so I called Dr. Niederman.  She travels with a portable stock for working with the horses that is much more functional than the stock the local vet clinic has, and she has a real easy way with the horses that makes the examination and the floating procedure as pleasant as possible for them.  Dr. Niederman found a broken incisor in the mouth of one of my geldings that had been missed the previous year by another vet during a dental exam and float.  She's coming back next month to remove that tooth.  The other two horses needed no work, and she was honest in telling me that.  If you're in the Houston area and you need an annual dental check for your horses, I strongly recommend that you call Dr. Niederman.

Comments:  This review comes from a transplanted Texan currently residing in South Florida. If anyone in your area ever finds themselves in Ft. Lauderdale and needs a good dermatologist (and, let's face it, be it in Texas or Florida, or any other sun-baked climate, who DOESN'T need a good once-over from a qualified dermatologist?), Dr. Nelson Charlie is excellent. A Yale graduate, Dr. Charlie hails from New Orleans, LA and provides a caring and courteous bedside manor not often experienced from physicians today. He is competent, efficient, and thorough, and focused on skin health rather than cosmetic lotions and potions that don't do anything to improve one's looks. Everyone raves about him, and he genuinely knows his stuff. His staff are also excellent, and are equally competent and efficient. If ever you find yourself in Ft. Lauderdale and in need of a good derm, give his office a call. You won't be disappointed.

Comments: My wife and I first bought the B&W turnover ball gooseneck hitch for our stock trailer. It's very easy to use and turns over leaving a flat bed in out pickup when we don't need to tow. About 18 months ago, we purchased a 5th wheel RV and the B&W Companion Hitch. The Companion Hitch is also easily removable from the truck bed, which allows us to tow the stock trailer or have a flat bed for loading plywood. The Companion Hitch operates easily and it also makes it easy to hitch up the 5th wheel -- obviously the hitch is well-engineered with high-quality materials.

Unfortunately, after our last camping trip, I couldn't remove a bolt that had to be removed to disassemble the hitch. When I tried to apply extra force, the bolt broke. I was able to remove the hitch, but it couldn't be remounted without new components.

I visited the B&W website and filled out a form describing the problem and asking about replacement parts. The next day, I had a response from Gregg at B&W Hitches telling me that B&W would send me the replacement parts at no charge if I faxed him a copy of the purchase receipt for the hitch. The next day I faxed the purchase receipt and within a few days, I had my replacement parts.

I was impressed with B&W Hitches for several reasons. First, there was no hassle about proving how the hitch was damaged -- it broke and they were going to fix it at no charge to me. Second, they acted quickly -- our upcoming trip can go as planned because I had the part within a few days.

There are so many companies these days that don't stand behind their products. If you have a problem during the warranty, you can expect to fight with the manufacturer. Not so with B&W Hitches. If it fails during the warranty period, which is a generous two years, they'll fix it without a fuss. B&W Hitches has earned my very strongest recommendation.

Comments: My wife & I spent last week in England. I had discovered this restaurant in October 2008 on a prior trip to the UK. We enjoyed the food so much that we dined at the restaurant 3 of the 4 nights in London (March 9, 10, & 12, 2009). If you are ever in the vicinity of the Victoria & Albert Museum, Natural History Museum, or Royal Albert Hall in London, check out the Thai Square. The food is wonderful!

Comments: I ordered APF from Healthy As A Horse NETwork and was very pleased with the price and the response. I usually order the product from Valley Vet, but Susan was less expensive and she shipped it quickly at no cost. I use APF for my 25 year old mare with Cushings disease, and Susan's company is now my new source for the product.

Comments: I've purchased three loads of 60-80 bales from Goudeau Farms for my three horses and I've always been impressed with the quality of the hay I've received. The hay has been baled at the right time, which means I've never had any issues with moldy hay. My horses like the hay and it's kept the weight on them through a severe drought. My trailer has always been loaded very quickly and the folks there always help me strap down the load before I depart for home. Goudeau Farms is a great source for horse hay, and I'm lucky that my barn is less than 10 miles from the Farm.

Comments: Our roof had been built with a gutter section inset in the lower portion of the roof over the front door. It didn't work well and caused damage when heavy rains caused the gutter to overflow. Precision Roofing removed the old gutter section and repaired the roof, installing new shingles that were a close match to the installed roof. They did the work quickly for a very reasonable price and cleaned up all the construction debris before they left. A very professional outfit to deal with and highly recommended!
