    2014 Maple Hollow Foaling--Belle**FILLY!!!!! 6/14****

    Wanted to update that Belle is finally starting to bag and is my last mare to foal as Carrie ended up open....Belle is 331 days today so technically could go anytime even though I dont think she is quite ready...BUT considering that several of my "by the book" mares decided to play games on me...

    Leaving Halters On.....No!

    I have SEVERAL hard to catch horses but I do not leave halters on. It is possible to catch them without and they generally get better with each catch too. Seen too many graphic injuries from leaving halters on to ever take that risk! Even in a stall they can get caught on their buckets or...

    2014 Maple Hollow Foaling--Belle**FILLY!!!!! 6/14****

    Thanks and yes Diane, it is a rough life breeding these little sweeties, having them steal our hearts, and then have to make those decisions to let them go. Sadly Monte is only getting one mare for next year too, decided to take him back out to show so not using him much for breeding while...

    2014 Maple Hollow Foaling--Belle**FILLY!!!!! 6/14****

    still no progress on Belle or Carrie, honestly couldnt guarantee either is bred since they are carrying higher than normal and never had them checked.... Also on more depressing news, I am sad to have to tell you that I had to have my first foal, Glimmer, put down today. She started acting...

    Amateur vs Open Halter

    I think it is worth it especially if you dont feel comfortable yet going up against the trainers. I personally show both Ammy and Open but if just wanting to test the waters and getting into it slowly starting in Ammy is a good move. You will still have ammys that have been showing a long time...

    Tips from those with experience with Disabilities for showing

    I dont have experience with disability but things I think you could try doing to help you in the classes would be to work with your horses on making sure they stay with you, if they get ahead they should slow down and stay with you at their shoulder, you should be able to teach them to trot...

    Size of mares/stallions

    I agree with several points already made: Any breeding has risk and can turn out badly regardless of how hard you try to prevent it Breeding a stockier stallion to a smaller mare just adds to the risk. Having a vet exam by a knowledgeable vet is a good safety measure to take if unsure. I...

    2014 Maple Hollow Foaling--Belle**FILLY!!!!! 6/14****

    Thanks everyone! The quality of all of our foals this year is outstanding, really excited to see the ones we have left to arrive! If it ever stops raining, I will try and get some good dry pics of both boys. Normally I dont care so much about gender, just quality and of course healthy! BUT I...

    Is there any way to find a show record for an 11 year old AMHR gelding?

    I think you can have AMHR do a performance report for a small fee, I would just call them and ask. If you just want to know how many points he has then you can do as JMS Miniatures suggested and look him up on the show results page under the Hall of Fame Life to Date catagory.

    Thanks and I went out and got some more pics because the dark ones were bugging me LOL...I opened the big door on the barn to let more light in and I ruffled some hair on his butt to show a few of his spots better, lots hiding under there that you can see when you rub the hair backwards LOL!

    Here are pics as promised ...sorry not the best, hard to get good pics in the barn especially when I cant use the flash much, snuck in two with the flash and the rest without, Wanna hates the sounds of the camera enough but the flash royally ticks her off LOL!!!!

    2014 Maple Hollow Foaling--Belle**FILLY!!!!! 6/14****

    Im really thinking Mars is actually open, it can be so hard to tell on the seasoned broodmares but she just isnt as big as normal and also should be bagging by now. Only bred her once last year and didnt have her checked. If she is open it is no big deal as she has earned a year off if she...
