I guess I'm in the minority. Most of my mares do live in pairs in my barn at night. They are all turned out together in the daytime and go into their stalls at night. Over time I have figured out which ones make the best stall mates for each other. I do have a few that are newer to the herd...

Will it still be open but just at the regular price of $200 for mare and $400 for a stallion plus registration fee? And thanks for letting us know. Susan O.

Just thought I'd mention this page on Tony's Little America site. http://www.littleamericaminis.com/reference/historicalstallions.html He does not have all of them of course but has lots of stallions from the past and actually saw most of them at one time or another also. And he has always...

Just some more thoughts of mine on this. First let me say I am not against breeding non carriers to carriers once we are able to test and know what we are doing. The breeders I have talked to who have bred for years and in large numbers have told me they believe a recessive dwarf gene to be in...

Hardship with AMHA, ever since it was started in the late 80's or very early 90's, has been $600 for a mare and $1200 for a stallion. I have done it several times but have always felt it was expensive. I just wanted the ones I have done to be in the AMHA bad enough to spend the money. However...

I love horses period. But for minis I much prefer the tiny ones. Tony Greaves has been one of my mentors for years Susan O.

Excellent post and excellent article Lewella. You have explained and look at it the very same way John has explained it all to me for the past 10 years as he did his research and since I first emailed him with questions 10 years ago. Susan O.

Thanks John! I started reading it yesterday when I saw you mention it on Facebook. I am still patiently waiting for the testing to begin, thanks to all your amazing and hard work. Susan O.

Thanks Melba for your vote of support. Vanessa, I do not show much myself so I am not really sure if many champagnes are being shown or not. Also all of my champagnes at this point are related, so are of a certain bloodline. They go back to Dell Terra's Hippy. But I have to admit I...

I absolutely love my mini trailer. It is 10' x 5' and 5' feet high inside. I hauled in the back of my mini van for years and then under a topper with my last pickup for years, and finally was brave enough to pull this trailer and am so glad it is just the size it is. Perfect! Susan O.

I have had a few of mine gelded over the years and it used to be around $75 if I took him to the clinic. Recently I called to see what it was now since someone interested in one of my colts also wondered what it would cost if I had him gelded first. It is up to $95 for the whole procedure and...

Great post, Marty!

Thanks Melba! I'm actually watching Cherub, Mandolyn and Strawberry! Of those three only Strawberry is under 30" though. How is your tiny new filly doing?? Susan O.

Thanks Crisco41! Susan O.

Well I am going to take the lack of responses as a "No" to anyone ever having a mare foal while her milk was still salty. That does help. Thanks! Susan O.

A good friend taught me about tasting the mares' milk quite a few years ago and it has been extremely helpful over the years. So far, to the best of my knowledge, and having tasted it from most of my mares before they foal, they have all changed from salty to sweet (or at least not salty at...

This was very informative and interesting! Susan O.

Thanks for an excellent post, Dr Taylor Susan O.

Yes I've been using this for many many years also and buy a new one when the old one wears out. I keep several on hand. Susan O.

Yeah, I have never yet tested one for sabino. Susan O.
