We have alway used x-mas tree skirts in the past as a starting point for ours. Ruth

I wish you were here. We could use a "tough" cat. I hate using poison for mice/rats and the coyotes keep the wild cats down here so we never get strays. Ruth

Mark a Doodle: I logged on tonight to ask almost the same question. Put mares with the stallion through two heat cycles (March & April). Observed the stallions (2 different stallions with two different groups of mares) complete their job. Mares appeared to have been bred successfully and did...

If you go to our website, www.stardustacresminis.com and click on special pics you can view a video of Boss our 25" stallion visiting an ACLF. Their floor was carpet so he did not wear shoes but I had midified two pairs of baby shoes from Walmart with shoe goo to fit him previously. We were...

I just ordered our vaccines yesterday and debated whether or not to order the vaccine for ours. I haven't heard of any horses down here having it. However we do have Encephalitis and West Nile cases in FL every year. Good thoughts for your friend and her mini. Ruth

I'm so glad to here she is doing well. Ruth

I am not trying to alarm you at all but I am very glad the vet is coming Monday. We had a mare who was full term and stopped eating. Everyone including our vet tech thought she was going to foal any minute. After a few days of reduced food intake she developed hyperlipidemia. Despite heroic...

I took our 5 year old 25" A/R red roan stallion to the Emeritus ACLF last weekend. One of the residents wrote a book about horses and called around asking people with minis to come. We arrived to a very crowded front lobby area filled with residents using wheelchairs and walkers. Boss was a...

That rings a bell. I also inquired about two different trailers on craigslist and got similar responses. Except in this case her husband had died, she had to get a job as a dealer on a cruise ship, so she was never at home to use the trailer,etc. etc. Same deal, send money to escrow company...

Question for all of you familiar with transporting horses into or out of Texas. It is my understanding that there is additional testing that needs to be done on horses either coming into or leaving Texas due to a tick borne illness. Could you fill me in? Thanks, Gary

Yes, we also live in Brooksville about 20 minutes from the Norberts of Wellspring Farm and Robin C of Picture Perfect Minis. Brooksville is on the Gulf Coast with easy acess to Tampa and the University of South Florida. It is also only about one hour south of Ocala where our club, The Orange...

The OBMHC Spring Show series is wrapping up with two great May Shows and the high point awards for Amateurs, Youth, Open and Pony exhibitors (one horse/one handler). May 8th AMHA Show with Judges Janet Barber & Gareth Selwood. and May 15h AMHR Show with Judges Karen Iversen & Debbie Mooney...

Ruth just got finished shearing our llama. He now seems much happier, especially since it is supposed to be 90 degrees tomorrow.

I am very sorry for your loss. Two years ago we lost a mare and her foal after they spent ten days at UF's large animal hospital and accrued a $5000+ bill. When they did the necropsy it turned out she had a massive infection throughout her body. There was apparently a problem with her immune...

Connie: Is there any way that someone could videotape the clinic? I would absolutely love to come to the clinic but have to administer the SAT that day and Gary has an OBMHC meeting here in Florida. We are starting a matched pair of silver dapple geldings right now to drive and plan to drive...

I sent you a pm Gary

A big thank you to all the participants and volunteers that made the Orange Blossom Miniature Horse Club's ASPC/AMHR show today at Conder Minis in Summerfield Fl a big success. Special thanks to Marilyn, Tammy, Ruth, Abby and Duane who worked tirelessly so others could enjoy the fun and...

We are not expecting any foals this year so I have a foaling season to revamp. We have two wireless barn cams in the barn but between the distance, concrete house walls and metal barn roof the reception is crappy. My dream system would have cameras mounted on the exterior of the barns pointing...

Premiums are now available for the OBMHC Spring Show Series which starts March 13th with the AMHA show and continues March 20th with the AMHR/ASPC show. This pairing is the first of three pairs that will occur in March, April & May. The hi point horse/human pairs in AMHA ammy, youth and open...

Gary and I drove from Florida to Louisville for the AMHA Convention. We decided to drive and transport a few horses as well as some hay. On the way there we got to see Gerry & Buddy Morris from Footloose Pony Farm's place and see a few beautiful ponies. We delivered a beautiful pony gelding...
