I think, Yes. I have sent in tests on 6 of my 12 horses. After I receive those results, I may or may not test the others. Some are obvious Splash while others are questionable. I want the test results to confirm my theories and also to know if they are homozygous or heterozygous. It will...

One of the many reasons I will not stand to the public.

The problem with both Bute and Quest is that it is so easy to overdose with them and cause serious problems. Because of the small size of Minis, there is very little room for variance. Therefore, it is usually safest to avoid the use of those products in Minis.

Me too. I have heard that a true Roan can not be homozygous for Tobiano (due to coming from the same location), but not Sabino.

I'm so sorry Julie. Such a beautiful filly. Sometimes we just can't anticipate the accidents that may happen, either for animals or for humans. I know its heartbreaking to lose your dreams.

I think this is often true regarding many things we do. We tend to forget they are animals. Sometimes it is our interference that causes the problems. Oklahoma is noted for its rapidly changing weather. In general (of course there are always exceptions to the rule), my horses are on pasture...

Any word on the cost of these tests or a link to their site?

I agree 100%. Showing is fine, but there are many EXCELLENT horses that have never been shown. Again, I agree whole-heartedly! And just because someone does advertise heavily does not mean that their horses always produce great foals. I have seen sons of a particularly highly praised and...

Welcome to the forum an congratulations on your new Mini. Others have given you good advise, so I will not repeat. I would add though that stifle problems are often hereditary. IF that is the problem, please do not consider him as a future breeding animal. Best of luck to you.

Congratulations! For your situation, I would recommend two colts, then get them both gelded. It will cause you fewer problems in the long run. Colts will also likely be less expensive as there is an overabundance of them. After getting accoustomed to the geldings, you may later decide you...

Sorry Mona. I mis-read you. I took it that you were defending Renee's attitude. My apologies.

And that may be the reason. Tobiano tends to keep white off the head and ears.

So, we now live in a world where two wrongs make a right? Too bad I didn't know Renee back when she had some dignity. Truth is, I was not into Miniatures of either breed at the time you are talking about. I don't appreciate being blamed for what someone else did years ago. I guess when you...

I have stayed out of this debate until now as I can truely see both pros and cons to the idea. BUT, this statement is a slap in the face to every breeder who chooses to raise AMHA only registered horses: THAT is truely arrogant! All but one of my horses is double registered AMHA/AMHR, and I am...

I have at least 5 at present that carry Splash, and not one of them is deaf. I have had many others in the past and never had one that was deaf, although I know it can happen.

I use them all I can. The janitor at our school brings them to my room for me.

I'm sure that if you emailed Tony, he could provide you with multiple photos of injuries from dog attacks. He has had more than his share.
