Here's one of his grandsons - Little Wee Feather's Legacy. He started out dark, but was sold young & it's one of the very few customers I've lost touch with, so we never got to see how he finished. Sheila Archer of the Appaloosa Project said he could be homozygous for app because of his sky eyes...

My horses love company -- whether it's inside or outside the fence. Two people were walking by the other day & stopped to say "hi" to the horses. They got mobbed! All of them were eventually at the fence. I couldn't resist taking a photo, even if I was really too far away for a good picture. I...

Here are my thots on it. It looks like an edema of some sort, maybe puss or maybe blood. I'm betting some sort of infection -- maybe from a small puncture in the field that you hadn't notice before, or maybe from a small thorn that left no entrance mark. Or an insect bite. Could be most...

YAY!!!! She won! She won! But you know what??? I didn't get to vote because I didn't read this post until just now -- Saturday at 3:15 p.m. --- But you didn't need me anyway.........and yeah, my girl would have gotten my vote! She was such a joy when she was here. I'm so glad she's still...

OK - Now I'm cryin'......

Well, my friends, it's time to finally say it (which will be much easier than doing it). I'm finally going to retire after decades of enjoying these wonderful little horses. A lot of friends have been made just for shared love of these creatures. The friends will remain, I hope. But, my...

No, Rabbit .....in my book, killing those pups (or trying real hard to) is animal abuse. Property or not. And that property biz is a hot button issue in many states. Just because, if as you say, people do it "all the time," that doesn't make it right. People abuse kids all the time & murder each...

I just heard back from the president of the humane society who was kind enough and reachable enough to answer. She said she has been trying to contact the policeman who made this decision, but has had no luck so far. I'll bet he's just being swamped with calls. She said she knew nothing about...

My questions exactly!

This story today: Man who put puppies in trash is given them back Wednesday, November 15, 2006 The Associated Press MEYERSDALE, Pa. -- A Somerset County man accused of putting six newborn puppies in a garbage bag and ditching them in a trash bin had the animals returned to him because they...

Hi -- That looks like it should work well for you & your horses look comfortable. I have given use of my 24x24 garage to stalls a long time ago. I used it for foaling (it's only about 30 feet from my house) for a few years & it was also handy for horses that needed to be isolated for some...

Hi -I don't have time to read all of the responses here, but here's my experience with one of those things that "cannot be inherited" ~ or not. Bought a mare that developed a "hitch" in her back left leg shortly after I bought her. I contacted the seller & he assured me it was an allergy that...

So, with that knowledge, I guess this gorgeous, correct, near perfect quite small little boy will sell with only his AMHR registration, which he already has. At the price I'm asking, (which is WAY LOWER than I have him on my website - haven't been able to update) it doesn't make any sense for me...

Ok, Becky, that might be the reasoning, but it still doesn't make any sense. Maybe it doesn't make any sense to me because I'd NEVER do anything like that.. It would not even occur to me.........that's the other thing about the AMHA that drove me nuts.......you're guilty until proven innocent...

No, Nathan, that's not the case. I saw your answer as an slur which I felt was inappropriate. I hope I am not "snippy" with any others who choose to answer. In fact, I won't respond to you any more on this, because I am, as I said before, really hot about this one. Let's end our "altercation"...

Oh please Nathan - If you don't have a real answer for this one, just skip it, ok? I haven't been this mad since maybe 1988. If you know WHY these foals have to be DNA'd just because the stallion report was late, then please answer. I DID play by what I thot were the rules by paying for late...

Ok, first of all, I'll admit, I'm really HOT about this one. I argued with myself about posting this, but I can't stand it..... Here's the back story: I didn't belong to AMHA for years. Did all my stuff AMHR. Then I got a double registered stud, and a couple double registered mares. I already...

Tiffany -- Yes, the idea of a person at shows to give information to newbies/public & to answer questions is a good one, but the reality is those who put on shows are so strapped for help that it seems that it would be impossible to do such a thing. Most show staffers are doing multiple jobs...

Lisa -- Your original post only mentions a price hike for prefixes..............not suffixes? The suffix reservation of common words by individuals was what the fuss was about here. Is is for both prefixes AND suffixes or one or the other?

We could argue about this a long time..........but, I just wanted to add that some Amish who have asked me about the business end of minis have been told by me that there is no profit in breeding unpapered animals. Know what? I've not seen those ones get into it when we've seriously talked...
