The shot can only be used up to 30 days in foal. After that it will not work. However you should always ultrasound after giving the shot to make sure the mare has absorbed the foal. This gives time to allow for a second shot if needed. You should really have your filly ultra sounded. However...

I am going to agree with Marty. I have one question did you have that hay before you brought him home? I have a gelding that everytime he eats any really grass hay he gets very bad pooppies. I feed only straight timothy. Also what cutting is the hay? I have had people tell me never to feed...

I have a question. If he is AMHA registered and grows to tall (say he goes 35 inches) he can't be registerd AMHR. Isn't that kind of defeating the purpose of allowing larger ponies into HR. I always wondered why they don't except anything other than AMHA horses. If the horse reaches above the...

I have a standardbred mare that gets the same way when given shots, particularly Herps rhino vac. She will often will ty up. After going through this for years I have never given her Herpes Rhino again and she is fine with the other shots. She also is allergic to bute which will often complicate...

I can understand not wanting a mare bred because of conformation or foaling dystocias. However mares can still be useful for youth projects or no conformation required classes. However I don't understand where a gelding would not have his papers passed along. I have seen some nice horses that...

I am curious as to why people sell horses without papers. I am trying to understand the reasoning.

Our local 4h group had the same problem. We couldn't find any shows that held mini classes. The only 4h shows that offered a very few mini classes were hours away. Our mini being unregistered also made it tough to find any open show in our area. One day while my blacksmith was at my house. He...

I would give probotics right away. Also young foals can have ulcers it wouldn't hurt to give her some ulcer gaurd. Her temp is a little high I don't know what your weather in your area is so that may contribute to the temp. If you are concerned enough to think of giving her banamine I would...

I had a friend who passed away. he also had no will when his wife became the executor (whom was appointed by the judge in probate court) she was alowed to sign the transfers. I believe she had to send a copy oc the death certificate along with the registrations. Being they are live stock they...

Question, Can you show a horse that you do not own? I thought that it didn't matter as long as the correct name is listed as owners and you have a copy of the registrations. I saw at a recent show people showing other peoples horses. Am I wrong in assuming that one person can own the horse and...

Thanks I received a private email with the info. Can't wait to take our guy out. Thanks again

You can add to your home owner insurance policy. There are some Equine Insurance Companies that have liability insurance. I have had insurance policies with horses in the past I have use this company they might be able to point you in the right direction. www.vangundy.com/equine.htm Also do...

I am Sarah's mom. Thanks Jen lol Still looking folks.

I was wondering if anyone has any info about the Rehoboth Miniature Horse show at Rehoboth Fair in Massachusetts scheduled for August 8. I was at Dighton last weekend and they announced it. I exchanged e-mails with the person whom I thought was in charge and sent an email requesting information...

I have also had luck using Dexamethazone for allergys and hives. It works really well and was recomended by the vet. I give 10cc to a full size horse and 2-3 cc to a mini. It really helps with hives. As far as banamine I think it could be tough on the stomach, but they do make the oral paste and...

I have had luck with peanut butter on traps instead of cheese. Ive' had a couple two for one shots they love peanut butter. I haven't had luck with D Con the mice seem to store it the hay to eat latter, and that isn't good for the horses.

I think in the case of thanking judges that you will not see the rest of the year is appropriate. I think if you will see them then wait until the end of the year. Another question. Would it be appropriate to ask judges on any comments or advice on the showing your horse?

Just wondering how she is making out. Did you remove the splint? Hope all is well.
