I have found that our horses, especially the show horses, look their best when I feed Purina Enrich 32 (Born to Win) along with beet pulp and orchard/alfalfa hay. The problem is that I am feeding 20 horses, have virtually no pasture currently (we are in the process of replanting after having...

I'm going to come from a slightly different buyer's perspective. The first driving horse we ever bought was from a friend. She had bought him as a colt, gelded him and green broke him to drive. He was not sold to us as a potential world champion or anything, just a sweet little gelding...

I can identify. Last week a girl who works with me in Guidance at the High School was sick. We told her to stay home (She has tons of sick leave). She said no that she wasn't running a fever and she would stay in her office and do paperwork. Well, Tuesday I started feeling "off", by...

This may be the obvious "stupid question" but... How do you all usually gather your mare's urine for testing? I have thought about trying to tape a catch resovoir (sp?) there like you do for baby humans but figured they would knock it off. Do you just guard them in their stall and rush in...

Thanks, Margo Guess we are getting anxious, results are not up yet. Shoulda, Woulda, Coulda, LOL Gary

Has anyone found a link to where the results of the AMHA World show may be listed? If so, would you share it with us? Thanks, Gary

Gary and I are so very sorry that this has happened in your family. It is never easy to lose a parent and we cannot possibly imagine how much more difficult it must be under these circumstances. I know that we and the many other people in your forum family will be thinking of and praying for...

Keely: You know how proud we are of all of you, human & horsey. Hope to see you soon. Wish these pastures could clear and plant themselves. Now I know how Tippy felt after chariot. Ruth

We have a pinto mare who is now three. She had chronic diarrhea as a foal after weaning until she was about a year old. What we have discovered is she must have a high protein feed. We tried to switch from strategy which is about 14% to a 12% at one point because our feed store said it was...

The National Champion of both Ammy and Open chariot is Keely with her 18 year old mare Tippy Toes. Keely is a member of the forum and posts here often, especially on driving topics. Her horses Buckeye WCF Classical Lightening, Buckeye WCF Classical Callipso and Tippy Toes have won multiple...

The little horse that won chariot is Tippy Toes. She is owned by lil beginnings forum member Keely Zeller who was the pretty blond driving her. Tippy sometimes comes to visit Gary and I and hangs out with our shetland gelding Diesel who thinks she is pretty fabulous. Keely has had a...

We use a typical worming rotation and spray on permethrin (did I spell that right?) fly control. No daily wormer or feed through fly control. We had several freezes last winter including two hard freezes into the spring. Then we had a very dry hot spring/early summer. Since then it has...

The "courting behavior" we are seeing with these "hoped they were bred" mares is pretty obvious. If it were going on at your place it would be hard to ignore. The stallions are in paddocks that adjoin the mare's paddock. There is screaming on the part of both, the turn of the ladies tushies to...

We have two very experienced stallions and one rookie stallion. We exposed 5 mares to the stallions, two each to the experienced ones and one to the rookie. Two were put in a pasture for an extended period of time (months) with a stallion. Two were hand bred every other day through their heat...

I watched the auction off and on while we were burning some pine we cleared. I would like to be able to purchase a few Rowdy line mares to breed to our Buckeroo son. There were several listed in the catalog that I liked. I contacted Toni and got a bidder number but in the end I was good and...

I think it is the lack of supervision and lack of proper facilities to cage the snake that is bringing on the charges. I don't think any charges would have been filed if the snake was in a secure cage and somehow managed to escape, but knowing that the snake had gotten out earlier and simply...

A little girl in Florida, near us, was killed when a pet Burmese python escaped from it's cage and wrapped itself around her as she slept. The mothers boyfriend discovered the python on the girl and stabbed it to get it off. The snake had previously gotten out earlier that same evening, so they...

The mother and live-in boyfriend of the toddler killed by a burmese python in Oxford, Fl. were charged today with: 3rd degree murder, manslaughter of a child and felony child abuse. It was also reported today that the snake belonged to the mother and not the boyfriend as previously reported. Gary

We may show this guy in driving at a Florida show just for fun. He looks like a mini gypsy vanner. I trained him to drive and we are thinking of grooming him just like a gypsy vanner to drive leaving the feathers, etc. Magic is a 12 yr. old stallion and although he was the AMHR 2007 Allstar...
