As has been mentioned, it is VERY expensive to put on a show here in the Pacific NW. Easily $20,000 for a 3 judge show with ribbons and modest trophies. It is imperative that we get support not only in entry fees, but also in sponsorships for these shows to break even. The local clubs that...

I have had that happen once to me and the mare foaled that night. A couple of others in my area had also experienced it and there were no adverse affects, mare foaled, milk came in normal, no other issues. I would be cautious about checking her too frequently at this point, my vet's thought it...

I think I NEED a Manx kitty! They are just too cool ! ! !

((( Hugs )))) to you Jan - I did not see this post earlier but your FB message brought tears to my eyes. I know only too well how hard you worked to give Artie a wonderful, post surgery life, it isn't easy, but as many have said, it was her time and now she is painfree. Such a double bummer to...

Many years ago a friend of mine had a little mini mare by the name of Gigi that was given to her when she bought a package of horses from some people. This little mare had a bad bite, one blue eye, wasn't a "great" horse, but she was actually very well bred, quite refined and very...

Something to consider with the hairless cats - their skin is pretty oily and they need to be bathed frequently - not a fun job!

As well as calling - it would be prudent to put all your feelings & worries in a letter and send it to each School Board member, the principal, all school officials, teachers, etc that are involved in this situation - send the letters CERTIFIED so that there is NO MISTAKE about whether they got...

From what I have been told a newborn miniature foal (about 20 lbs) needs as a minimum 60 cc's of colostrum - the more the better, but 60 cc's is often "adequate" for passive transfer. When I freeze colostrum I freeze it in blocks - an in ice cube trays, that way it will warm up quickly when I...

Hi Kim I can't imagine being able to walk upright with being on MareStare for so long - you truly are a "WonderWoman" Stac

Thanks Desiree - it is nice to know that 30 years of selective breeding does get noticed Stac

Thanks Dr Taylor - that is my protocol here at our farm. I will say tho, that it is getting harder and harder to find enemas that DON'T have mineral oil -- what brand do you use> Stacy

Happy Appy How did you install your system? We have a 3/4T 4-Door Dodge and pull a goosneck 3 horse trailer - Stacy

There is a lot to consider - getting all the mares in sync isn't all that easy and will require putting them on drugs to get them coordinated and to help produce multiple follicles. Then there are the ultrasounds to see how the mares are progressing - that all really adds up, collection of the...

Remember - since she is ASPC only, you must breed her to an ASPC stallion (stallion can ALSO be AMHR/AMHA if he measures) -- and THEN if the foal remains under 38" at age 3 you can hardship. You cannot breed to and AMHR or AMHA stallion and get an AMHR registerable foal - it would be National...

He certainly looks like a dwarf to me BUT people, let's look at the good side of this situation --- he is obviously very much loved, and being very well taken care of. From the looks of things, he will have all the proper care that he will need to live a comfortable life, for as long as that...

Would this product be safer to use to sedate a mare to ultrasound for pregnancy? I always ask my vet to sedate, just wondering if this product would get to the fetus and cause any harm

Does anyone know if it will be on I-Equine?

Pretty boy - we are finally "family" - I have a Captivation son also - RHA Captivations Shadow Walker

Does anyone here have any leads on where I can find some really nice leather barn halters - stiched w/brass rings, etc, similar to what is available for large horses?

She is busy snarfing down on her bedding - it might not be a bad idea to change it out into regular hay since eating straw can lead to a nasty colic - sure don't need that!
