Sorry Minimor, I was told that they (canada) were the first to have ASPIR .... I must have misunderstood . I paid for an ASPC AMHR approved show . We had only 3 horses compete , my 2 classic mares and another stallion that went in as an AMHR because there are no other ASPC horses here in...

It is my understanding that ASPIR was allowed because Germany worked hard to establish it , as Canada had this mixed breed association-approval thing before and it worked for them ...... , and now your stating that your working to get it closed to the native shetland when it should have never...

I know you did this who said anything about hardshipping ..i am talking about having classes for all 3 races , or registries of horses, so people witrh ASPC horses can show them . they are currently ONLY having shows for AMHA horses here in Europe , with the exception of Germany who has mixed...

but I believe they are breeding ASPC horses with International registered Shetlands, and labeling it ASPIR ...this is what I understand , and see . If you look at the web pages of people with ASPC horses overseas its clear that they are breeding the ASPC horse with an "open or unregistered "...

when you say "shetland" as one of the parents .... your meaning American shetland , not just mixing with any unregistered Shetland right ? the Shetland has to be registered right ? I ask this because its confusing with Germany who is cross breeding ASPC AMHR horses with Shetland ponys...

She is very nice , I agree with the above post. Sadly I doubt the owner will confess to throwing away a horse , good luck on finding info . It is frustrating to try to figure out a past on a horse. Do you know from what area she was from? Maybe send out a photo to the local vets, or clubs . I...

WOW! What a great feeling...I love this story! I have had the same experience , and it feels AWESOME ! I loved telling people that the 1 st place winner was an abandoned little hooligan I found on a mountain ....; ) I would love to see a photo once you have one . I have rescued a few , and...

Don't worry, It happened to me , and I freaked. With the exception of quest , your horse will be fine. The wormers are such that it would be impossible to " really" hurt an animal if this happens. I hope your vet is smart enough not to give your horse . Just. Keep an eye on her today and over...

I have had Michigans Naturally Sweet for 1 year ... In this short time she has proven to be a show stopper taking the Swiss Champion of Champions for 2011 and 2012 ....I hope everyone who went home with a Michigan pony the best of luck in your future shows,and hope you enjoy your new horse as...

well , 9 pm , and still no walking ... she is officially a pasture horse , and it seems to agree with her . I think some horses are prone to this "vice" but i als think something has to trigger it . Endorphines dont just release themselves for no reason .... but i still have research to do...

I have delt with this back home in California. I found the lump on her chest , it was as bug as a small apple. Warm compress as someone suggested . Once the skin is thin enough to lance it easily , you may do so , make a small opening near the bottom area to allow drainage , not to small that...

actually boredom due to long amounts of time isolated is a form abuse ...yes I agree that this can be herediatary ... but there was a study done on horses stress level from being stalled vrs stalled with others near by , and stalled with lower pannels so they can see out , vrs the free...

I read that cribing releases endorphines in the brain .... the horse becomes addicted to the endorphines and cribs to release them . Endorphines are a horses natural pain killer .... Stress can cause ulcers . cribbing is a sign of a stress that could have happened at some point , but can...

thank you all , yes its obvious that she had a horrible prior life. Her definition is a stall walker , as she picks a 3 meter space and walks back and forth ... I feed her separatly , and even will put her in a stall with a very low door that she could actually jump out of , so she can feel...

Hi , i have a new mare with a tragic history ...result ..stall walker : ( This is when she does her stall walking ... at a show where she is in a large horse stall , even with her friend she will walk 1 wall of the stall : ( when its time to feed .... morning and evening ... she will walk...

I got a mare in December that also came with loads of lice ...free of charge : ( I clipped her , bathed her and treated with a lavender spray made for this. It worked . The discoloration from the bites lasted a long time thoough .. 2 months later and she is just now darkening up to her...

yes ... we found out that she is dieing .... we are just keeping a medical journal on her now , and we are keeping an eye on her , she sleeps on my pillow next to my head . When the seizures are more frequent then 3 per year ( every month or so we will talk to the vet about euthanizing . At...
