I don't think any conversation about great geldings would be complete without mentioning WCF Buckeye Classical Lightening. He is equally proficient in performance or halter and has the best "personalty" and is always willing to please. But I may be just a little bit partial. gary

About 9 mos. ago we tried to show Kahlua at an Ocala show. The tire blew on her cart in the warm-up area and despite our best efforts we could not get her calmed back down. She had only been driving a few months so we just figured she needed more mileage. Since then she has been in a 4th of...

Just a little over a week after having major oral surgery Diesel made us very proud in Marianna. The spooky pony has transformed into the sweet gentle guy seen nuzzling Gary here. He was good for Gary in his halter classes while Gary learned from the judges what to do And except for a...

William, it was nice to meet you over the weekend and congratulations on your horses and their achievements. The weather Sunday as you said was crazy, we all felt so sorry for the horses. Ruth and I were impressed with the quality of all the horses at the show. We really enjoyed the Modern...

Yes, I do. All of my cabinets are custom made for each customer. I would recommend seeing your local cabinetmaker who in most instances will custom make cabinets for you. The quality should equal or surpass what may be found online or at the home centers. You would also be helping the local...

We just finished showing Diesel, the shetland gelding we got last year, for the first time today. Diesel had been the subject of several posts on the pony forum because he was very spooky. It turned out, thanks to a visit from Carl Mitz and John Causey along with our vet and a vet from...

I hope she brought some warm clothes. Hard to believe but the weatherman is saying there is a possibility of SNOW on Sunday in North Fla. and South Georgia. This has been a crazy winter here in Fla. Gary

Is anyone here planning on attending this weekends AMHR/ASPC show in Marianna, Fl? Ruth and I will be showing and driving our shetland for the first time and will also drive our "B" mare for the first time. We have only seen shetlands show one time, so I hope we don't make complete fools of...

When Boss had hives our vet had us dissolve benedryl tabs in water in a syringe and give it to him orally. She had us give a regular adult human dosage as he is tiny (26" and less than 150 lbs.) Hope your little guy is better this AM.

The clinic is open to anyone who is interested in mini horses. We hope to have a good combination of newbies and experienced horse owners. Gary

We just switched to an American Bankers policy through an agent in Kentucky. We are near the coast in west central florida and our county has had an abnormal amount of sink holes. The farm bureau here wouldn't insure because of the horses and State Farm was canceling us because of the risk the...

Gary and I usually alternate between buying our beet pulp at Tractor Supply or our local feed store. About three weeks ago we also got a batch that was very dark. When I soaked it, it smelled like the molasses had actually burnt. Our eight in the front barn usually go after the very wet beet...

We will be breeding our stallion to four mares this spring. All are double registered. When do I do his stallion futurity registration, how about the girls? The year they breed or the year the foals are born?

Sorry for the delay in answering your questions, but Ruth and I both work during the day, work horses when we get home, and then, have time to look at the forum. The show manager is Marylin Gilchrest and show bills are currently being developed. If you have any concern about show stewards you...

My father-in-law has a double registered mare who lives at our place. Two years ago she had a beautiful blue eyed overo colt by our Hemlock Brooks Egyptian King pinto stallion. This past summer we put her back into the pasture with the stallion. He immediately bred her. We saw him breed her...

Tanya, will be glad to see both yourself and Lee. The new website should be up and running this week with any luck. Ruth and I am so sorry to hear of your bad experience earlier today. Don't let people (i'm using the term loosely) like that ruin your enjoyable times. Gary
