He will be gelded on the 23rd at a local vet about 30 mi away. We've used them before on our dog, when our vet wouldn't diagnose her, and they immediately put her on Prion for her bladder and it helped immensely. This will be our first time using the large animal vet, and the receptionist told...

I emailed my old vet, who is an experienced equine vet, and she told me that the vet has NEVER gelded a horse before. I'm livid, not only at myself but because the practice allowed me to make the appointment when it could in fact kill my horse. I will be trying to make an appointment with an...

Just an update. I am buying back our stallion and will hopefully be bringing him home the 20th. I don't know what condition he's in, and won't until Wednesday when I go to see him. I already made him a gelding appointment on the 23rd and he will have a separate dry lot to recovered and plenty...

Thank you. ;)

Would you geld a teenaged stallion, aged 14 as of this year? Very simple question. Only use the above information based on age only. I'm in a debate with my family on whether or not its humane to geld a teenaged stallion. Said stallion is well endowed and has done his duty since he was two...

I have a yearling colt (April 2013) who I am not interested in breeding, who has not yet dropped. At what point is a colt just a late bloomer or a cryptorchid? I have another yearling who was gelded at weaning time from a different breeder, so I feel like I shouldn't be comparing the two since...

I ended up posting pictures and his name on Craigslist and on multiple Facebook groups and within a day his owner called me.

Definitely not what I wanted to see. Looks like after three years, he is still in our name. Ugh.

Just wanted to ad that I posted an ad on Craiglist with his registered name and pictures to hopefully find him. Southern Iowa isn't a large area with lots of minis. So hopefully. I would really like to buy him back, geld him, and show him.

Wanting to see if our stallion that we sold was transfered into the new owners name. We lost track of the owners and its been 3 years, would like to buy him back if he is ever up for sale again. Dagnillos Crown Jewels

So, so, so excited for those of you that have sent in samples! And jealous. Hoping to send in my samples this fall, probably one by one.

Our first foaling took place in a pasture on a cold March morning. (We were new to horses and did not expect her to foal) The herd was made up of maiden mares who were either pregnant or open for that year The placenta miraculously was missing, but now that I think back to it, it is astounding...

I think honestly, no matter what there will always be dwarfism because those who are going to drop the prices of their stock are going to be the ones that first time mini owners will buy up, because they're cheap. I don't think that any amount of education will help because there will always be...

Now here's my question, will those of you who have tested their horses share their results once they've arrived? Because I am insanely curious.

Just putting this out there, I work at a Pilot truck stop and as a manager, I get the joyous responsibility of sending and receiving Western Unions. We were sending Western Unions yesterday and if their location was closed, there are many more open on holidays and they should have planned ahead...

Cute! Just FYI, I would hope that she is bred to a palomino PINTO and not a PAINT. ;)

Then we can only hope that they misinterprete the results and they end up carrying D1 carriers to each other. A dead foal is better than a suffering foal.

Thank you! Cannot wait to here updates!

Do you have a link to that post? I couldn't find it?

I'm curious. Say I have a mare who tests as a full blown dwarf and send in her test results because she IS registered, will they strip the papers? How would that affect offspring that are registered or are going to be, if they are not dwarves but are carriers? (Just thinking here)
