I write for a living, but not often do I get to write about what I love best, horses, of course. However, here's a piece I did that ran today. Hope you like it. The hard copy version of the paper has a drawing of a baseball card made up with Barbaro's picture on the front & his statistics on the...

I had an orange that had been around a little too long. I was trying to throw it into the woods, where something might eat it because we have so much snow/frigid weather, there can't be too much to eat out there. Well, my dog Ursa brought it back. Apparently, she thinks its a funny tasting...

: I deleted what I originally wrote here. This kind of says it all anyway.

Mini Hoofbeats -- Maybe I'm misinterpreting, but it sounds that you are describing "roan," not necessarily varnish in apps. Roan darkens the bony areas you are attributing to varnish, I believe. I've been wrong before, but..........someone correct me if I'm wrong, please. Becky & Viki --...

Apps can changed pattern for, well, they used to say 8 years, now the thinking is 10 years! I've seen it happen where a pintaloosa mare didn't get ANY appy spots until she was 8 years old........Then, she colored out with spots all over her pinto markings. But we've had foals born black out of...

What a terrifc conclusion to this saga.........Hats off to both of you. One for making the offer; the other for being man enough to accept it. Might I mention a Blue Seal feed that's very good for putting weight on? We call it "fat feed," but it's really called Vintage Senior. Has a very high...

It's so good to see him in his new habitat...........he looks just as good there as he did here! Merlin has one of the best personalities & is full of vim & vigor, the better to drive! Happy trails, Geri. I hope he's everything you wished for. I'll miss him so, but I know he's in good and...

I'm so sorry...................

Let me say that I am not in any way saying Tony is irresponsible. I'm not the Judge. I know I'm not superior in any way..............It's not my place to judge. He is well-known & well-respected. However, back to the "fence" thing. We have two variables here: the dogs and the fence. Dogs: We...

Ok, gloves off in both corners..............I'm so very very sorry this happened AGAIN, but ......it could have been ANY BREED of dog. It just happens that this poor breed has fallen into the hands of many fools who should never have any kind of dog because the owners have no brains. I'll take...

Ok, doesn't anybody else find this ODD that this post was originally made Jan. 17, 2006 ? What's that about? I only noticed the date because I didn't remember posting & there I am.....but it's from January 2006.........?? A year old? And on the original post by Small Herd, it doesn't say...

Couldn't resist -- we have a lot of inter-species friendships here: Ursa Minor (our Am Staff) just loves the horses, especially the foals. And turning the tables on you MBhorses, here's Ursa tasting a little from one of the mares. Never heard of this before I took the pic, but your photo...

Just wondering if you could possibly mean "Bermuda grass?" Nope, never heard of gramma grass.

Oh, she's so pretty! Congratulations! Have fun with her........... :

Lori -- I do wish you Appy New Year with her & many many years to come of spots & dots. Here's a pic of Merlin, for anyone wishing to predict what Lori will get. By the way, Lori, Merlin has produced 12 fillies out of 13 total foals. And the one colt that Merlin produced was an incredible...

Don't forget that by answering them at all, you are alerting them to the fact that you are, indeed, a real address & real person. They can pass that info along to their buddies. A Microsoft certified systems engineer who I know, says NEVER answer scam (scum) mail, no matter how mad you are.

Just wondering what you all do.............do you ever go to a site's "sold" page?? I do, but only when I'm looking to see an example of the foals they've produced or maybe if I've had an on-going interest in a particular horse I don't see on their "for sale" page anymore. What do you folks do?

Let's see............I've had ONE vacation since 1983!! Went to St. Thomas because my brother lives there. Guess where we went there? Yep.........the racing stables & the Humane Society!!! Can't stay away from animals no matter where I am, I guess. Ok, we did go to the beach etc., but I worried...

When I went to the barn to feed yesterday morning, I found this little face looking up at me! : She is Little Wee Wild Elegance's first foal. I wasn't sure just when she was due & figured it might be late January or early February -- wrong! Ellie gave NO signs of foaling and didn't have a bag...

Ok, I can't resist............while they are still mine for a little while, I'll post them probably as the last time they are "mine" to show. Both have been sold :no: but to what I believe are great homes. : Forum members are the new owners, but I'll let those owners tell you about them when...
