Janell, If I do it with my vet the x-rays are free, if anyone that lives too far for me to travel to, and has a vet that has digital x-ray equipment, has my protocol, and knows what I am trying to do and that it is a real research study involving GLUCK and the University of Kentucky, the vets...

Hello Everyone, I am posting here because I think this place is the best place to disseminate info fast. I am John Eberth, most of you probably know me or know of me, I am trying to complete my research on Dwarfisms in Miniatures. In order for me to accomplish this I need to pathologically...

First - I want all to know how thankful we all are for your prayers. We are very devastated with the loss of the firefighter- Greg Cloud went to school with us kids and he is related to my niece-Mariah- on her mother's side. This is very very upsetting to our family. We are looking ino a...

Just wanted to answer your question on the Silent Auction Procedure. I have just copied the exact procedures for the Oktoberfest Auction so hopefully this will explain in detail. We will have copies of this at the sale as well. Let us know if you have any other questions. Look forward to...

The question has been asked many times about photos of the horses in the Oktoberfest Sale. I spoke to Robin today and she said that anyone interested in photos can email her BY TUESDAY and we will all do our best to get photos to you. Please make sure you let us know exactly which horses as...

Sherry Hi, that is a good question. With over 140 horses it is not possible to post photos on all of them. Some of them are just now being clipped up, as it is winter they will NOT be body clipped, it would be unfair to the horses. If there are horses you would like a photo of, please email...

To arrange for Phone Bidding, please contact Little King Farm at 812-866-4006 PRIOR to the start of the sale on Saturday, it would be best to call at least the day before. The earlier you call to arrange the better for everyone. You will need to let someone in the office know the EXACT HORSES...

Hi, I thought I would post some more information on Oktoberfest at Little King Farm Oct 21st, which is next saturday. I know this is a new concept and everyone is wondering what the format will be, so here is more information. This will be a Silent Auction format sale. Over 140 head of...

I saw this post and felt perhaps this information would be helpful on raising an orphan foal. It has worked for us for years on several foals. We raised a foal that turned into a Multiple AMHA WORLD CHAMPION on this formula. FOAL MILK REPLACER FORMULA First let me say that it is VERY...

Wow, lots of thoughts out there. This is John Eberth, your Association's Genetics committee Chair and currently the only one I know that is actively doing actual lab work with Miniature horse dwarfism that has some idea of the breed and its unusual REAL history. Yes I am the "Little King man"...

To test any horse specimen for any color or colors the specimen might have is somewhat complicated, but I will try to simplify the answer into laymans terms. First the root bulbs are cut off the hair stalk, put into a test tube with a chemical that breaks open the cells that make up the bulb...

Right now any research involved with me is at UK, and I AM the one actually doing the hands-on research. I am staying at UK and continuing my research at UK and anyone that wants to send samples and or money donations to UK can send it now and after Gus leaves you can put it attention John...

Hello Everyone I gotthe info from Gus for Texas A&M The checks need to be payable to "TAMU Foundation". They need to be mailed to Jerry Zalmanek's attention at the address shown below to this person. The accompanying letter should state that the funds are to be earmarked for the benefit of...

When I was at UC Davis in 1994 for an internship under Ann Bowling, they only had one adult dwarf that was donated a couple of years before I got there and some other pics of dwarfs and I think a few DNA samples of others. They took blood samples when they got it, they took pics and then put it...

THank you Libby for helping, Since I am the one actually doing the lab work at UK, Gus is my advisor, and he has relied on me for input and work with this research. I thought I would like people to know there is someone within the industry having the most intergal part in this research. Gus...

AJ, I looked up your case study that you sighted, it was done at the Department of Veterinary Pathology, Western College of Veterinary Medicine, University of Saskatchewan, Saskatoon. The link of the article from NCBI is here http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.f...4&dopt=Abstract The...

Stacey, Blood from full sibs to a dwarf is not helpful right now, it would after the gene(s) are found and a test is made. Even parents blood of a dwarf without the dwarf sample is not any more help than the sibs. It is key to understand the reasons the actual dwarf sample is needed, it is...

Thank you everyone for your support, What I experienced early in my life with these horses gave me an opportunity to follow a passion not just with dwarf research but many other goals in genetic research that I would like to work on in my life, getting focused for something so unidirectional as...

I wanted to add somethings to help people better understand a few assumptions I made. Because all of the different types of dwarfs have shown to involve dwarfs with both sexes, it is automatic that this is an autosomal recessive disease(s), no matter which type. This has been known...
