Aw, gees, thanks everybody......those sure were unexpected kudos!! I do believe it was my responsibility to see these beloved horses went to proper & loving homes. I didn't want my sons to have to make decisions for me while I was in a hospital bed -- Oh, I'm certainly not at the hospital bed...

I just wanted to post a thank you to everyone for letting us all into your barns, foaling stalls, paddocks, or whatever to see your wonderful new babies. With our retirement, we have just two mares to sell yet & for the first time since 1992, will not have any new little ones bouncing around...

Yes, we've had those exceptions quite a few times. More times than not, I guess. One of our black mares threw many born black foals who stayed that way & never changed -- black as coal from day one. One of her foals, however, became a blue roan. Several of these foals had the same sire, but only...

Gelding an older boy would have the same effect as it would on a younger one if the nutsy behavior is hormone-induced. Once the hormones go, he should calm down. It might take a while because some of the behavior might be "learned" and he might have to be re-taught on some things, but IMHO, it...

We've sold MANY online but as a seller, you need to be as careful as you can be in selling your precious little ones to a, shall we say, sight unseen, buyer. Yes, I do try to get to establish a good repoire with the buyer (or seller) both online & on the phone. A very few times, I've sold with...

Just thot some of you might find this site helpful. It makes it easy to tell a horse's age by its teeth. : Toofies! <-- site is here And while we're on the subject of teeth, here's a smile for ya:

We call it the "howdy pen" because it actually started out being an area where new horses could meet & greet the herd without any real physical contact. Nobody could get hurt, but they could find out who each other was. After a few days in the howdy pen, a new horse could enter the herd with...

Gorgeous! Congratulations!

Hi -- I would ask how long you had mama & baby separated? I usually go with at least 3 months of separation. I'll try putting them back together then & if the weaning hasn't taken, the baby will go out again for a few more months. Usually works. Some moms tell their babies absolutely no...

When we first moved into this neighborhood (a million years ago), a neighbor's relative that I had only met once was suddenly in my kitchen. She even surprised my dog and the dog went after her. My dog didn't bite her because I called her back, but the woman NEVER did it again. Thank you! I...

We've got an extremely long-haired pug-nosed orange female cat with round gold eyes who must be part-Persian mixed with who knows what. She is a BIG cat with a white bib & an off-center crooked blaze (must have some sabino too!) She has faint tabby striping. But her best thing is she has SEVEN...

I forgot this one, appropriate when you are on a lonely road, sharing it with just one car who is in front of you & it is ALWAYS a driver who has "no where to go & all day to get there."

I guess I thot more silly than philosophical when you asked for a favorite saying. I right away thot of one of mine: "If mama ain't happy, ain't NOBODY happy!" :lol: Also: "Poor planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part."

I'm trying to be quiet as this turns into a debate -- Nope, can't do it.............this post is about dog food and cat food. Period. Know what? There is a wonderful thing about media - all media -- books, Internet, TV, radio, film, newspapers etc etc..............and that thing is........if ya...

What an inflammatory statement to make. What a way to twist this into a political thing. Sorry, but all I wanted to do was to convey something that might be safe inside a bad situation. For many of us, oh, in fact, a lot of us, our animals are our friends and family. I would appreciate it if...

Somewhere in my travels this morning (vet's office, grocery etc.) I bumped into a label for Dad's Dog Food. I realized that it is made in Meadville, PA, about 35 miles from me. I know it's locally made & I've used it many years for my animals. But lately, for some reason, have gotten away from...

All over the clock here! None I've known have had a habit of foaling at a particular time each year. Some do, however, have preferences about whether they foal inside or outside and do their best to repeat on that -- especially the "outsiders." :lol:

As I've already told you, I think she's GORGEOUS! Good boy, Monte!!! Congrats, Pammy. :

I can tell you that Klassy's paternal grandsire, Pursley's Bandito, was registered a black leopard, but he was actually tri-colored leopard. His spots, however, were more weird than I've seen anywhere else. He actually had the inside of a few black spots colored red! Genetically, someone here...

Thot about you overnight -- Wondering if the vet has been there & how things are going? Update please.
