    tattoos

    I understand where some are coming from. I think you do need to think about your future if you are young (teens, early 20's) and getting tattoos. If they are very visible it very may well hinder your job search, depending on what type of job you are looking for. That said, most people don't...

    Need some help,,,,Indiana or close

    Carolyn, I am not in IN, but central Ohio. I have a 16' stock trailer with a middle divider that you are more than welcome to use if you want to make the detour. We are just a couple of miles off 70 on the west side of Columbus. Good luck on your move and come back soon to give us an update...

    tattoos

    I have one - it has very special meaning to me. I never in my life ever expected to get a tattoo. I don't mind them on other people, just never thought I would have one. And now I do and I would not change it for the world! Barbara

    Now they are both sick

    I am so, so sorry that you and Lemby had to suffer through this. It is horrifying to watch your horse waste away and know there is nothing you could do. I went through this with our gelding just last week. He also apparently ate something toxic - but we still can't figure out what. It...

    Just had a garage sale

    Sounds like a fun weekend! I am with you - I hate the work of getting everything sorted and priced, but I love garage sale day! It's so nice to meet new people and see others you've met before. Sounds like you had a great day meeting your neighbors. Barbara

    Help Identifying Maple Leaves

    It is so hard to tell with all of the maple leaves stuff. I just lost our beloved horse, Jinx, to what the vet suspects was red maple toxicity. We've had horses on this property for 30 years and never had problems - and there are no Red Maples in or around our pastures. I walked and walked...

    YOUR favorite picture

    Not the best picture - but it means a lot to me this week. This is my daughter, Olivia, in her first show ever last year with her gelding, Jinx. She was giving him a "good job" kiss on the nose while waiting for results. We lost Jinx on Saturday and he will be missed. Can't leave out the...

    Something I've been stewing about for a while now

    Thank you all for your kind words. My oldest daughter (Jinx's true owner) was not here today as she had gone to King's Island to celebrate her birthday with her grandmother. She does not know what has happened yet, and I am dreading telling her. I am sorry for taking this thread around from...

    Something I've been stewing about for a while now

    Thank you for saying this. We lost our gelding, Jinx, tonight and I am just heartbroken. I am still reeling, and we still do not know what exactly happened. Started with colic symptoms, but with banamine and care did not get better so I called the vet. Long story short, she heard a loud...

    Neverending Saga: Dude, where's my fall decorations?

    Marty, (I mean Lily) I love reading your stories! If Mr. Retirement gets your house finished, please send him north! My Honey Bunch has lots of ideas and enthusiasm, but limited time and not nearly as much skill as yours! *Sigh* - maybe someday my house will get the makeover it needs. Happy...

    Any recommended veterinarians in Central Ohio?

    I thought that Les and Getitia used Dr. Coudret, too. There is an equine vet from around Grove City that might make the drive. His name is Dr. Daniel Stradley. I have never used him for my minis, but know several people who use him for their full size horses. You might also call OSU and see...

    Any recommended veterinarians in Central Ohio?

    Hi there! I don't know any vets in the Circleville area - sorry! But I just wanted to say, "Hi!" from up the road in London! I don't know if she would travel - but we use Dr. Chris Coudret at London Animal Hospital. She doesn't specialize in minis - she does all size horses, but she is great...

    Grammar Pet Peeve

    Actually, I see TONS of people write "should of" instead of "have" on FB and e-mails. One of my best friends is the worst offender and it grates on my nerves every time!! Another regional thing - when my husband and I first met, he used to say "ideal" for "idea" - he knew how to spell it, but...

    Since the holidays are coming

    As much as I love summer, Fall is my favorite time of year! The weather is usually gorgeous. Camping during the Fall is my favorite. My husband cooks awesome food over the campfire. When we're not camping, we love to do soup and sandwich day on Saturday and I love making homemade soups...

    How did you meet your significant other?

    That is a great story! I'm so glad you guys found each other. My husband and I met at a party at my apartment in college my freshman year. I was 18 and he was 22. Let's just say, it was NOT love at first sight! I spent more time running away from him than trying to get to know him. I...

    Does anyone show/breed for the more "built" miniature?

    I think they are gorgeous! I am not a breeder - just a buyer! But I also enjoy the more quarter horse or morgan style mini. While I can drool over the refined, araby types as well as anyone, when I go looking to buy that's just not what attracts me! As for doing well in the ring, we don't...

    Should I show or should I not show

    I think ANY horse has the potential to be a show horse - you just have to find the right classes! Halter may not be their thing - but the performance classes are more fun in my opinion anyway! Some horses that may not do well in halter might do great in harness. Or even in halter obstacle...

    A "warning" about Rick Perry

    No, he does not. He teaches Life Science, so one of the topics taught is evolution. Naturally, because students understand what a "hot button" topic this is, they always ask him questions about evolution as it relates to origin of the species. He tells them that evolution is the scientific...
