Maybe that rule needs to be changed?? After all the judge is supposed to be judging the horses to the standard and if they see an exhibit that does not seem to meet the standard....well...... Do what they do with dogs and rabbits. With dogs a judge can call for a wicket and measure right then...

Baskin and Robbins has black licorice ice cream

Thats right....I sort of remembered the Shredder part of the name OK now for the bad news both my sons counted and they both say 12 and they also think those xrays are so cool....perfect photo for halloween

Lisa is right, unless you show dogs or groom, most people don't realize that general petting and "going over" can be quite different in the dogs mind ...... Show dogs are touched from nose to toes and males are felt up, my friends and family would never handle my dogs in that manner if I didn't...

Cool how exciting. that is a great barn I love it.

Another fairly safe place is at a fun match/b-match/puppy match. These are dog shows geared towards 4-6 month old pups and newby show handlers there are usually lots of dog savvy people who are often quite willing to help out. Other places to take dogs for socializing....parking lots at big...

You might want to switch the cedar to pine or fir. Cedar can be irritating to some horses. Another thing I did with a horse who had a running eye was to keep a fly mask on when turned out. Seemed to help alot. And I agree with the others get the tearduct checked

Dang girl I do not know how you do it but I just love your horses. Now there is one more to go drool over at your website

Just out of curiosity what were their ages at the time of breeding? I know other people who have gelded after stallions produced one dwarf. What I find interesting in these two is how similar they actually are in both faults and virtues. Neither has huge extreme faults. The stallions head...

Yep pretty purple flowers and red berries on a vine. are the type we often see around here. The one with the photos is often called belladonna or deadly nightshade and it is more shrub like.

Susan, John and I have spoken via email several times. If my computer had not crashed years ago I also had a number of emails discussing this topic with Ann Bowling. I know they have tests now for some of the cattle dwarfisms and can only hope with enough funding and support that there will be...

For those that have not seen this here is some information from one of the people trying to locate the dwarf gene/genes. And lists proposed dwarf genes and the accompanying characteristics. http://www.amha.org/pdf/memb/DPresentation.pdf
