I see a lot of breeders here breeding horses with splay hoofs, patella related problems, doubble sets of teeth, blind horses, poor conformation, so bad that the horse must be euthanized after a few years. I wont name names, but a rather large breeder in USA has shipped these horses here to...

I rest my case ...

I think that people who hope to make money on breeding are so hellbent on the money part of it that they dont think it through. Almost all of their horses are cripple , sickly , or unattractive , but in the breeders eyes they think the horse is flawless ....grrrr I see this a lot here in...

I also read that ground eggshell is a great sourse of calcium, for us too . The raw egg thing is contravercial ...some believe saminilla can be in raw eggs . I think its a matter of what you feel OK about giving. I dont give bones, except veal bones ...thats just my "thing" . I did find a 100%...

Hi, I was not able to go to the convention this year. I am interested in the International Breed Promotion department.... is ASPC AMHR still allowing an ASPC horse to be bred with any type of shetland and obtain ASPIR papers in Europe ? Because of the outragious crossbreeding going on I...

thank you everyone ! the office knows , and well , they know ... as you said I am on to greener pastures with my horses , and no longer as interested in contiunuing my membership , and showing ... I love to support others that show , and I help them as much as i can , in 2 weeks I will be...

I just want to add something else ... some of you have said that I am bitter , and angry about this ... your right I am , but now its time to let go and separate myself from the "bad" clubs and breeders. I spent a lot of money flying a jury from different parts of the world to have...

In May we hosted the first ASPC AMHR A rated show in Europe . Renee Bush flew here to judge the show , we followed the rules at the office , and tried our best to show the Europeans how an American show is suppose to be done. The show went well, because Renee worked very hard to educate the...
